Am I Really Too Stupid To Fix This PS5? You Decide! (PS5 Joblot #4)

[@paying-for-freedom]

It's like I have always said. It takes teams of engineers months or years to design circuits, let alone motherboard PCBs , cases, supporting daughter boards and so on. to bring such intricate electronics to market. The ICs, CPUs, APUs and GPUs chips alone can take as long. Retooling the factories to make the electronic components. Hundreds if not thousands of people with expertise in their field working to bring about a single product. Repair technicians are trying to fix something not a single person involved in the products design could fix on their own. Since every part of the circuit design can be affected by another. When there is a ghost in the machine. Not even a team of creators can always figure out what ghost it is. People will tell me "that's little component was all that was wrong". I try to make them understand that the repair is not usually the hard part. It's finding what needs to be repaired that is.

[@TheCod3r]

I couldn't have put it better myself! Replacing components, soldering, rework etc, while difficult, it's still easy in comparison to knowing what's wrong with the device. The fault finding can be the time consuming part, but that's what makes it interesting. The not knowing is what keeps me going 😌

[@consertoousucata]

Hi Phill! if you'll allow me a tip: use spray contact cleaner on the edges of the DIE, to try to expel any liquid metal that may have underneath it. that's how I found mine when I accidentally spilled liquid metal on the board. good luck!!

I invite you to Islam

I've got two units in with this exact issue...not seeing an issue! One of them I know is the APU that needs reball because if you press down on the APU when turning it on, it will boot. The other I can't mimic this behaviour but that's not to say it's the same issue. I honestly think there is some bga connection issues on the APU with these particular ones. I've got APU stencils on order to reball the first one and I'll report back with how that goes.

[@altg6563]

Did you manage to fix them?

[@KyleGP]

​@@altg6563Nope

[@randy2835]

Nice head banging music Phil!!!

[@CooLDEaFY2023]

You did amazing work for what you doing on those merchandise n device. You are genius lol I'm stupid really but I'm learning for those worklike your, Smile Phil

[@Mohamed-zj3qv]

Hello, Try a reflow on that soutbridge some times it works with ps4 with the same symptoms

[@MrReeceyburger123]

Nice one phill, ohh well it obviously doesn’t want saving anyway 😁 I got a ps5 with f7003 blown, 3 blue flash second then off having a look next week.

[@FixTronics]

Try flashing the bios with a good known working bin file

[@jonnylingo1232]

Good Series I think its time for a APU reflow !!!

[@Rockout52]

We think you should pay a penalty for every one you fail to fix in this series, you should have to remove the South Bridge, lick it then put it back on, lol.

[@nikkam3176]

Hi. I have seen many of your videos. Can you help me to enable uart on ps4 dump? (Blod problem) Thanks!

[@ajaks7636]

That was a weird one. Great video! 😁

[@brucejoseph8367]

Fascinating video as always, thanks for taking the time and trouble to make them. If you have a board that is faulty how do you know which components are working for you to be able to sell them for spares? For instance it could be the southbridge thats faulty, is there a way that you can test it when you remove it for a spare.

[@christopherdecorte1599]

Dont bring yourself down on this. These electronics now days are made to break and fail in a few short years they dont care about spending 10 to 20 more dollars on better ports or any sort of longevity enhancments. As long as it will last long enough to pass warranty period they happy and consumers can cry home about it. You are just one person doing a job that usually requires a team of expert engineers to do and you do really well. Good work on your videos i enjoy them even though i dont plan and this level of repairs i enjoy seeing what still possible.

[@abdomoz7809]

Please, when you measure the voltage, bring the picture closer

[@Trucam2020]

What's the version of your thermal camera?

[@DrywFiltiarn]

Could it be as simple as a failed bios?

[@GiveAcademy]

Sounds like a component that failed open rather than short.

[@tiosadan]

now i want a shirt like yours

[@andrasszabo7386]

Why does someone keep the daughterboards if they are useless without the mainboard?? Can these mainboards be converted to digital editions?

[@erinbuck129]

They can. Phil has actually released a video on that not long before this one

[@andrasszabo7386]

@@erinbuck129 then there is the answer about what should happen to these boards if any of them can be repaired.

[@johnwalker8045]

What happened with my xbox one x with disc drive loading fault from last fridays repairs Phil.

[@harrysmith5353]

Donated it to Oxfam, i believe you're a good egg

[@TheCod3r]

I've still been trying to figure that one out bud, but unfortunately I'm stuck 😪 I'll give you a call tomorrow bud to go over it with you

[@johnwalker8045]

Many thank's for trying to fix it Phil.

[@MikeGervasi]

I really want to say yes. But I doubt it.

[@jamezxh]

I know you’ll fix it because you can’t help yourself. Damn the expense!! Lol😂

[@TheCod3r]

Hahaha thanks mate

[@zonemanbobo]

Just curious as being behind on customer boards would you not focus on them and not the PS5 series ?

[@abdomoz7809]

Once only

[@CooLDEaFY2023]

I can't fix stupid lol 😂
