Hi everyone, please remember to stop by PCBWay and check out their latest promotions and offers at www.pcbway.com Also, here's a link to the InfiRay P2 Pro thermal camera I use in this video: s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_Ex1S3NR My own liquid metal: www.consolefix.shop/products/thecool3r-liquid-metal-by-thecod3r-2g-10g-syringe-pre-order

[@aceconsolerepairs]

Did you fix it? I dont have the time to watch but just dropping it to give a thumbs up

[@TheCod3r]

@@aceconsolerepairs yep indeed buddy

[@AdaptiveSystems]

do you do cpu swaps on mobos? if so at what cost? ( soldered, not socketed before anyone comments)

[@TheCod3r]

@@AdaptiveSystems That depends what device you need it doing on mate. You might be better off dropping an email over through the booking site though as I don't always get notifications on here

You have spent so much time over so many years to become the expert that you are. I applaud you for your dedication. I have followed you for a long time and seen how much you and your knowledge has grown. You are the reason I have added console repairs in my retirement. Use to only do TVs and computer motherboards. I respect you beyond words.

[@CallumFaulds1]

Nicely done, as always, Phil. Thank you for all you've done for the repair community. Your tools and knowledge are invaluable!

[@DracoMcGuyver]

Great job as always Phil. Thank you for the video.

[@ajaks7636]

I didn't see a skipping rope anywhere? Phil the Fixer Strikes again! Great Repairs and Video! Thank You.

[@Howt-ooo]

Fantastic work mate

[@oboshape]

Awesome vid as always mannie, cheers :)

[@Foxx_69]

Nice video Phil!

[@garyeast7259]

You connected the disk drive with the power on at 32 odd mins in. You're good at explaining what and why you're doing it. +1 subcriber

[@TomLally]

Brilliant videos and very informative! I’ve called play station today told them about my console that won’t turn on but makes a beep. After I updated it this happened. But they insist it’s the hardware and say I need to pay 210, for them to send out a refurbished ps5. What the heck! This is expensive. They don’t even give me a chance to explain my point and assume it’s my fault.

[@gam85191]

Great work mate!

[@ss220astro]

Haven’t watched in a while. The new shop looks good!

[@gormfrid]

Thanks for a series of extremely educational videos! But I'm a little disturbed by the bottle of flammable isopropanol (1000 ml?) on the table. The bottle of isopropanol I often have standing by my amateur soldering workplace is made of metal (30 ml). I immediately put the metal cap on after using it..

[@mrellis1181]

You inspire me to follow my dream to become an electronics engineer. Where do I start? What courses would you recommend? Thank you for all the great content!

[@dadwillfixit1907]

Nice video mate

[@davidstrider2007]

Nice one buddy. Gotta love them cheap ceramic caps that Sony puts in these consoles..

[@greatdrd]

Great job thanks 4 the video

[@2000stephenellis]

Hi Cod3r , your new work area looks pretty sweet , is it the same area you were using when you first moved house ? ...cheers Steve

[@zynaps666]

Cracking vid Phil but what happened to the £1 fish song. You really nailed that.

[@Thatguy-tk]

I have one doing the same and has some blown caps at the ethernet port on the back I need to find the value of.

[@brettgas2787]

were do you get the matt you use

[@harpingon]

components blowing to protect the valuable fuses. tale as old as time

[@Whiskey36]

Can anyone tell me what the 100pf capacitor on the back by the HDMI port on a ps5 do and do u need it

[@SANKSANK1000]

What is the value of the capacitor after you replace it? My PS5 has the exact same problem as this and I can't find the short anywhere..

[@gavinodell2928]

good vid bro

[@DaniHardware]

hello my friend! What camera are you using to record above? Congratulations on the video. A hail from Brazil.

[@GhostLead65]

Phil is it possible you can sort out my Series X controller? Its got stick drift on the right stick.

[@RSGEProductions]

How do you find the deals on ps5 and other consoles on eBay ?

[@RSGEProductions]

Could you do a video on that if possible ?

[@MartyW74]

what flux do you use, i am looking for recomendations on a good flux to buy

[@1234cabking]

There is one thing I would like to know is why do so many ps5's go faulty, because all I see you and many others on KZbin fault fixing them? Could give your explanation or your thoughts on why they go faulty on your next video or post on KZbin, I would really like to know, many thanks 1234 cabling.

[@Inverse_Midas]

I’m not an electronics engineer, however there are a couple of things you have to factor in. You’re always going to get a certain percentage of failure rate on anything. And as far as I’m aware, Sony isn’t going to release that figure to the public. Also I personally think that some consoles are stuck in say, cupboards or let’s say poorly ventilated areas for extended periods of time. Some people hammer their PS5 and turn off all the power saving features, so it’s running almost constantly. So, not exactly a healthy environment. Should it fail, probably not, but electronics do fail. The only product I can compare with your original question. So, I have been buying MacBook and iPhone right around 2007. I have not have one phone, iMac or MacBook (I bought tons of them for my graphics design business) go bad, only had a single key on my keyboard on my MacBook that needed fixing. Yet, you have Louis Rossman who’s a great electronics tech and that’s all he fixes. Failed Apple products, and there are many like him which makes it look MacBooks are failing or iPhones, But wait, Iv never had any Apple kit fail on me, and I dont give them any special treatment plus I have bought over 30 machines/phones personally. Then you have the element of…if you’re watching a lot of board repair guys like this doing mainly consoles, the ps5 is the latest so the most money to be made, if you can fix them and get them going. They stop bring good money used. Hope that made sense!

[@RobertOwen-rk4tl]

Do you think that this is down to bad design or that Sony has opted to go with sub standard capacitors for all these cap failures?

[@danielhulan3058]

Hey The Cod3r, i have a question. Every ps5 repair youtuber that uses UART shows the code and usually its your name on there that updated it. How much time do you think you have spent putting error codes into UART? I have never seen anyone elses names on there.

[@XENONEOMORPH1979]

good positive outlook not bad for 80 quid , ya can sell it to pu back in the business nice one mukka

[@0errab0]

So how much are you getting for your rebuilt PS5 Consoles?

[@ccteeslive]

Hey can you send me the link of the cod3r uart software.

[@patrickamphlett9003]

[@haruncolak4283]

@TheCod3r I did your steps but when I choose my my port nothing is happening. Could it be because of a bad southbridge?

As a youtuber, do you have to be good talking to yourself considering your le talking to a camera? Ive always thought that.

funny thing about PS5 disk drives... both my and my sons PS5's disk drives were dead out of the box, like they never worked. I had mine untouched, unopened in the box like 11 months and 3 weeks, and the thing had 12m warranty... luckily Sony made it good. Kid got his as a Chistmas present at the mom's, and it too didnt work and had to be send to warranty repair.

Brilliant as always, great tutor mate
