Hearing a console that’s only four years classified as getting on a bit and having issues working is bad when you can turn on a sega or nintendo console from the early 90s without issue and still works as the day it was first switched on makes me glad i was born at the right time when consoles were at their best

[@richardd8352]

@@instahawk8422 To be fair it's the recent generation of consoles it seems. I had an early release Xbox one and it's still running now, no problems... I do also still have a working Sega mega drive 😅

[@distantthunder12ck55]

My oldest console is a Dreamcast, then PS2, followed by GameCube, original Xbox, all of them still functioning. The first console I had that went wrong on several occasions was the Xbox 360 with the red rings of death nonsense. Since then I am 100% PC gamer.

[@iansatwick1910]

I have a ps2 and ps3. Both work perfectly everytime

[@TheRealBobHickman]

Got shocked a far bit back when I did TV repair. The CRTs are the worst, we would discharge them with a couple of crossed screwdrivers (holding the insulated handles, with one on the frame, and the other slid across it and under the anode cap). They have a tendency to build a decent bit of charge back up again, so gotta remember to be careful to not poke around the anode a few minutes after discharging. My boss at the time did the best one. He had a TV face down on the bench while he was discharging the tube, but he'd forgot to turn the TV off first - 27KV of sparks and a ruined pair of trousers later, we all learned a valuable lesson. Of course, we also used isolation transformers on every bench to minimize getting shocked, but you still gotta be careful.

[@fenman1954]

As a retired electrician, i had to laugh out loud we all have done this.

[@dreamman68]

me too....... i hate charged capacitors...... hehe

[@hmello3250]

I am not an electrician but I do some work around the house and I have been shocked many many times. Brazilian outlets are 127V AC though maybe that is why I don't really care...

[@Trippy86117]

​@@hmello3250this is DC which is more dangerous, please if your not qualified don't do this its not worth it

[@colinboneham7387]

I got one of an old cap on a washer as I disconnected it and that made me jump

[@catharperfect7036]

Can't you discharge the caps using a multimeter in either LoZ or Resistance? Also some gloves would be handy.

[@NeonGenesisPlatinum]

Nice to see you're OK mate! Worst shock I ever got I was messing around the back of my arcade machine my hand touched the anode that connects the flyback to the tube via spring hidden by a suction cap. It was like a hard reset, sat me straight down and it was about 5 seconds before I had recall of what just happened.

[@martinnash007]

I felt your pain. I used to work as an electronics technician and have had some spectacularly painful shocks from switched mode power supplies. Mostly, when they were powered on!

[@spookyghost7524]

this happened mine while playing that matrix demo I left it a few days (thinking it had over heated) came back turned it on and its been fine ever since

[@kalsvtg5169]

Even with thick rubber gloves I cringe when I work on power supplies. Think I might stop doing psu fixing actually, didn't need much motivation to do so anyway but your video helped. Glad you're ok!

[@kadmaster]

Keep eyes on you man....We need you dude...be careful...stay safe

[@jochenrudiger]

I am glad to know that this is not your last video here on YT. I have been watching a few of your repairs over the last days. And still remember that you said "I am not a power supply technician". Those things are nasty.

[@gerrymichaud3851]

I'm glad you're alright after that shock. I got shocked by a flyback transformer in a very old color TV. Riding the lightning HURTS!

[@GothGuy885]

you became Zeus for a second or two. I have done it also. those fly backs pack a punch!

[@richardd8352]

My sons xbox series x powered off and died recently. A crackling sound followed by a burning smell then shut off. Upon inspection the burning smell seemed to be coming from the two pin connector at the back for power supply. So i took an absolute novice punt and bought a new internal power supply. Followed a KZbin how too, also renewing thermal paste on cpu. Not sure why, but it was recommended. Put back together and it works!!! 😊 Anything more complicated and I would have been up the creek without a paddle 😅

[@TheCod3r]

That's awesome that you even tried buddy. It doesn't hurt to give it a whirl and take a risk on your own stuff

[@rayhastings2934]

I did this working on a LED TV once, dam near through the power supply out of reflex. My body was like this nope thing to hold on to. We've all done this.I was even being careful or so I thought.

[@michaelwalbank9605]

The Cod3r Does ElectroBOOM

[@Chrisj-Pops]

What a shocking repair. Great video

[@jamesk9375]

I'm glad you survived your shock but before you touch anything power supply related you should drain the capacitors.

[@guardianbeardizer6361]

Shocking video mate

[@zeroxiiimk2]

great video man! hope that finger heals

[@Al-xj2oo]

Glad your ok phil

[@sahamal_savu]

I just found your channel but I wish I had earlier, great videos mate 👍

[@headwork-24]

way back in the day 1990/91 in Unisys we used to earth everything that came in

[@suzanneneikirk5544]

Never a dull or boring moment with your videos. Sorry you got a shock but glad you're ok.

[@MikeG-rh1lk]

I know the feeling I touched a live light switch wire with screwdriver , knocked soul out my body for a second lol

[@DracoMcGuyver]

Phil, I am glad that you survived that shock. Please be careful. Your family needs you. You don't have to physically show us the deadly potential of a power supply.

[@GothGuy885]

Glad your alright after getting jolted. I have got Bit a few times doing diagnostics of failed electronics, its not fun! 😱

[@dreamcastfan]

21:47 does the right half of the cap get left behind there? Lots of people are saying you should discharge the caps, is that possible with all the white gunk on the bottom of the board covering the solder points?

[@ronlevin2339]

I had 2 power supply dead, 2 was a dead main transformer, second was a tiny transistor on the back.

[@TheCod3r]

Yeah I've had a few with blown transistors and occasionally a damaged solder joint on the transformers

[@rbafixit4732]

There's a couple of dry joints

[@rdpeake]

Did you touch the DC side of the bridge rectifier? as that would be directly connected to the caps that are charged up?

[@topcat3824]

Hi phill thats twice now you have had a jolt off a powersuply you allways say you dont fix them but your curiosty too find out why ?? the third jolt could end up killing you pleas just chuk them in the bin and keep safe your family and all of us need you your videos are a great source of input please keep safe have anice day

[@richardhinchey1999]

I knew as soon as you went in with them snips to remove putty, not good. Always use plastic tools, and or gloves at this voltage. As you say, its a differnet game.

[@100SteveB]

You got a shock from the main filter caps - which of course hold a DC charge, that is why you could not find the source of your shock testing for AC. If you had tested for DC i bet you would have found 200v or more still stored in those large caps. Sounds like you were lucky and only got the shock across your finger - the real danger comes when you touch +V with one hand and complete the path to ground through your other hand - that is when the current travels right through your chest to get from one hand to the other. That can be deadly.

[@Olls0010]

Electrifying!

[@andystephenson7102]

Plug it in and throw some heat at the electrolytic caps and see if it comes back to life

[@leewright6101]

lol phil hhahha im a specialist in psu repairs lol, u get used to caps holding charge, get a 24v lorry lightbulb drop it over the caps wallah discharged.!

[@ronaldwitteman2134]

Thats why you always drain the caps.

[@JonnyMac351]

KZbin repairer and has no real understanding of electronics as most don't and will end up killing himself if he is not careful.(From a trained Electronics Tech of 40yrs)

[@seanworrall-s7i]

Lol dont touch the bourd hahahaa

[@davidstrider2007]

Dang! I am glad that had a better result than the alternative one buddy. Never underestimate the power of the darkside. :) No man's land.

[@normanvincent1217]

Gotta be careful. Caps hold power

[@pgg1888]

You touched it with your metal tweezers?

[@DaveBrown1]

300v dc hurts, ** keep one and in your pocket ** PS don't think the cap will be discharged.

[@dreamman68]

Always discharge the capacitors first...... hehe....

[@dennismeador5585]

That was shocking

[@oaba201]

Do not repair without protection!!! I hope you learned the lesson. You do not want your son to grow up without a father. Isolation transformer, type of e-stop, do not use both hands, discharge the capacitors, quick MCB, insulated tools, clean workspace, current-limiting 100W bulb, etc.

[@mohandmohand2047]

no gloves Codo3r becarefull what you do is not fun... 👏

[@fredwooding599]

I am SO happy you did not get badly hurt. We could have seen the last of you then :-( Be careful not just tell us to. You always wear gloves, but not this time. ??

[@AndyM4cL30d]

Was it the whole finger or the one next to it

[@ajaks7636]

Cody needs his Dad, Please be Careful!! A Great Video, on what Not to do! Great Content anyways. Thank You. 😀

[@pmyhill]

Can't not laugh as we've all done it, and I know how much it wakes you up for the day 😂😂. Least you won't need any RedBull for today 😉. Glad you're ok though 👍

[@orosalsero]

I thought you new better to discharge all capasitors? but glad your OK!

[@garystevens6831]

Time to wear the rubber gloves of shame, erm, I mean safety!

[@lestermoreno9437]

Why dont you buy a discharger capacitor?

[@sergiojimenez3415]

I remember a ps5 power supply popping off while measuring voltage. Careful man!

[@Foxx_69]

Lol. Who needs coffee!?

[@BRGKasumi77Main]

Oh my Lord! That was a very shocking video!

[@zaffiqbal9740]

Shabba ❤

[@game_master_rukia]

shocks are why you don't repair power supplies and should always replace them

[@oaba201]

The hair on the back of your head raised :)

[@sublime167]

I bet 300V went from your tweezers, across your body and discharged into the ground plane your other finger was touching. The pain you felt was an arc from your finger to the ground plane which was the path of least resistance.

[@deensedudevonand4115]

The HaHAMan could come here and comment HAHA yeah we have to watch out for him

[@jo-h-n-ny-mc9498]

To discharge those big electrolytic caps, put the multimeter to resistance mode and put the leads across the caps...You can also use your skin😂

[@johnburns5783]

If it’s unplugged then the only thing that can shock you is a residual charge in an electrolytic capacitor. Good job you don’t work on valve amps 😂😂😂😂

[@HummyGG]

always discharge caps ... not with your hands

[@SteveosCPU]

you won't see and AC, it's DC on the caps.

[@Thehustler01828]

You gotta discharge the capacitors before getting into it.😂

[@thischick376]

Phil is not worth repairing those power supplies. You are more important than a $50 part.

[@psteier]

Well... and you laughed at me, as I suggested to get a capacitator discharger...🙃

[@Tibberous]

He decided to DIY it... ⚡

[@reg2590]

300v DC off the big caps - Wow but very entertaining. I bet you had a sweat on after.

[@tedkomuves8368]

Do you charge extra for that? 😮

[@leejwest]

Hi Phil, do you buy consoles? i have 2x PS4 Pros sounding like Jet engines that i don't need anymore.

[@TheCod3r]

I do sometimes mate. Drop me an email to [e-mail] if you want to talk about a possible deal

[@darrenhunter2324]

I hope you took your self to the ER to get checked.

[@handyman683]

It's like a snake bite

[@dosendaring]

Are you the same TheCod3r who is PS5 hardware specialist ???? If yes, then..... MAN, YOU'RE LEGEND..... !!!!!

[@TheCod3r]

Yes mate that's me but I wouldn't call myself a specialist. Thanks though bud

[@dosendaring]

@@TheCod3r I know you from Joey Does Tech channel, he fixes a lot of PS5 and when things got difficult he refers to UART codes, most of the time I see your name submitted the code and the explanation. That means you are very skilled person in this area. I know nothing fixing a console, but I know computer and codes (learnt it since the 80s), and I do simple repair of smartphones, PC, water pumps, fans, cars. Oh and I know Joey Does Tech channel from TronicsFix..... Can't wait to see your next video, oh it's about PS5, NICE. SUBSCRIBED... !!!

[@colinboneham7387]

That made the hair on the back of your head stand up or is it you need a hair cut there, and yes caps will bite you if you give em chance

[@PedroFNMartins]

The first step when messing with a power supply is to discharge the capacitors, every electro technician knows that🤦🤦

[@giants78]

Why don't you discharge it before ? It's simple.

[@Sir2ofLitre]

HAHAHAHA, shocking that

[@AutismusMaximus1]

He could easily be unalive now, be careful ffs.

😂

[@DAMGUNHAR]

hey man are you interested in having a apprentice and teaching me the repair process , dont live to far from you and willing to work help and learn .

I work from home mate. I don't have room for anyone else in the workshop. Sorry

[@DAMGUNHAR]

@@TheCod3r no worries mate

[@dronedays450]

Take your own advise and stay out of power supplies lol

[@pauldavis5184]

lol

[@JamieRyan92]

Shouldn’t be working on them mate if you can’t understand how you got a shock. Not gonna lie you do good work but don’t mess with things you can’t understand.

[@TheCod3r]

I agree. I know now but at the time, with lights and cameras rolling, things can get confusing. I know where it's safe to touch and not touch

[@JamieRyan92]

@ just don’t want to see someone doing good in the industry get injured or worse killed, I work on live power generation, distribution and electronics too, can never be too careful mate
