[@morto360]

Is there some communication between the power supply and the mainboard? If not... maybe people can just replace the power supply with a general purpose 12V PS.. basically leave the PS out of the PS5 and just connect the 12V. Would that work in theory?

[@therealytshadow1750]

So my ps5 freezes and it goes to a gray screen then after while it will show the ui again but i can't do anything so I have to reset my console by unplugging or holding power button down on console it's a digital ps5. ANY IDEAS? P.s it doesn't happen all time but it happens alot more then it should its not overheated cause it can happen a few minutes after I turn it on

[@SlingshotGamer]

Phil. The biggest problem with the PS5 is that I still can't find one :) great video by way!

[@TheCod3r]

Haha yep I should've included that 😂

[@herbertlaminski1684]

Got a ps5 here no power, no beep at all by pressing power button in the f7002 area no 3.3v voltage, 5v are present, fuse is intact Tried to inject 3.3v voltage, but the ps5 is still without life, have you experience in injecting the 3,3v iwth external power supply, does the conole power on, when TLV62090 is defective ???

[@TheCod3r]

Unfortunately it won't power on when injecting specific voltage rails unless that line is just open line (like a blown resistor or fuse), normally if it's missing it's because something is short so it'll just pull down to ground. Realistically you need to find out why the line is missing rather than trying to force it to turn on

[@Thesnake3007]

Great job from you bro Greating from morocco

[@tegu4life125]

Great video Master, I have here ps5 digital completely dead no beep no light ,all voltages present but the 1.8 V under the Southbridge not detected if you press Power button ,after replacing Southbridge from donor board same story ...another bad Southbridge or wifi module can cause no power? Thx .

[@TheCod3r]

I wouldn't say the WiFi module would cause it, but if it's completely no power look into swapping the bios chip from a donor board :)

[@kaydiam7065]

Thanks for good content! My PS5 turns off by itself after 5-10 mins of running. More frequently when the game is running, but it can fail even from the dashboard. Sometimes it happens even from the safe mode. Replacing the PSU didn't help. Visual check of the board doesn't give any clues. I suspect bad contacts on RAM/SSD. Have you seen such problems earlier? Can you give some advice? Reflow RAM/SSD chipsets?

[@TheCod3r]

It could potentially be overheating but I haven't run into that problem myself yet. Do you get any error messages at all?

[@hove131]

Just fixed a new two month old ps5 for someone that had overheating issues. Thought it was going to be the fan but turns out the APU didn't have near enough liquid metal on it. It was extremely dry. This was the first I have even heard of this issue on these. Replaced it and had no issues afterwards.

[@kaydiam7065]

​@@TheCod3r unfortunately no particular error messages. On very rare cases the game stops with an error, but the dashboard keeps working. In most of the cases console just suddenly turns off and the next boot up it recovers the FS. Sometimes boot up process also hangs (hangs on the blue or white light). Therefore I have to plug off the console and wait 15-30 mins.

[@soulmourne2698]

@@kaydiam7065 before doing a reflow i recomend you to check the liquid metal it could be badly applied and not making a good contact and overheating

[@MattBee2k2]

I had one from a friend behaving like this and was due to overheating. It was quite dust but don't think that was the culprit but adding a tad more liquid metal, spreading it properly and making sure the clamp and subsequent screws were tightened enough solved the job and it's been several months now.

Thank you Phil

ill catch yu on one video? ive got xbox x changed port worked for week and went beep on beep off i think? well if yu press the button rapid it turns on and straight back off! but the controller vibrates so i dont know ive checked my work! twice? josh said power rail but i want yur imput? and ideas i thought retimer or mosfat?

[@TheCod3r]

Hey mate, I'd say it sounds like you might have an issue with either the 5v line on the HDMI or possibly the redriver or ESD IC could potentially be bad. It's hard to say really but those are the most likely scenarios

[@vgrepairs]

Poor design... Most of my clients have expressed they have no idea where to safely setup their console in their rooms.

[@herbertlaminski1684]

I have a ps5 here which quits all games after starting with the error CE-108255-1 and goes back to the system menu All games crash with error message CE-108255-1. Sometimes the System Menu image disappears for a moment and comes right back. I have already tried everything on the software side, such as rebuilding the database in safe mode or completely re-flashing the firmware via a USB stick Do you have an idea what it could be?

[@TheCod3r]

I believe this is an issue with the SSD but I can't confirm yet as I've never replaced the SSD (I believe it's married to the console unfortunately)

[@blacksaturn8834]

My PS5 ended up having a PSU issue (the power button does nothing - no beeps no lights), so I bought a replacement PSU and verified that the PSU was good, but the PS5 still shows no signs of life. I’m assuming it is something on the motherboard now…any suggestions?

[@blacksaturn8834]

Btw I tested the old PSU and verified that it was indeed faulty before purchasing a new PSU

[@TheCod3r]

It could very well have taken out something like the southbridge or the HDMI Encoder. These are notorious for that if you've had recent thunder storms or a power surge of some sort

[@blacksaturn8834]

Tronicsfix has a good video on the PS4 already, it's still pretty accurate today to be honest

[@dodgydruid]

A KZbinr who was building his own steam engine, he lacked a special machine for a particular machining process so he sent the part he had made himself to the US, the work was done and when it came back he was billed £400 by Customs and he fought it but lost even though he made the part many years before. Also this blanket VAT applied abroad is really annoying, I bought a ten pound watch off of Aliexpress and by the time I paid it was £20 and I have challenged that as it is under the £15 threshold which should be applied to the item cost not the overall cost including shipping.

[@Alexander_l322]

I’m not sure why but I’ve managed to get cannabis sent from Amsterdam to me with no trouble or cost from customs. I’ve also bought big grow lights direct from Chinese factories and only been charged like £15 by customs. Bought fake trainers and other clothing items and not been charged for those either.

[@PCEYTube]

If you're not a profession DO NOT attempt to replace the hdmi port yourself as you will make things worse 100% guaranteed

[@TheCod3r]

No mate you're wrong there. I don't mean any offense by this whatsoever, but you can't just tell people not to attempt it. People replace their own port themselves all the time. If they have the tools and they're willing to give it a go, I always recommend having a go. There's no better feeling than to get something working yourself. My entire channel is focused around helping people gain the confidence they need, and soldering isn't hard at all. All you need is the right tools and a bit of patience

[@PCEYTube]

@@TheCod3r I get customers often who failed whilst attempting replacement of a a HDMI port on a console to find not only lifted pads but even missing chips especially on the next gen consoles. Yes it's easy to do as a professional but a customer can make a right mess if they have no soldering experience let alone micro soldering experience. No offence taken and I see your view on things as we were both once a standard user. Thanks for the videos 👌
