I Bought THREE Broken PlayStation 5 Motherboards For £320. Can I Fix Any Of Them?

[@erinbuck129]

“Milo, can I please work on this board?” Milo: No, pets first

[@MikeGervasi]

Always great to see a new vid from you pop up to watch after a tough day at work. I see Steve's note is gone in the cleanup.

[@ajaks7636]

You cleaned your bench? It's the end of the world!! Great Video!

[@IPichu777]

32:00 That seemed to stay on for like 5 or 6 seconds, not 2, so I wonder if the Southbridge was dying and not the APU.

[@serp_entera]

Thank Milo, He got you a new subscriber and a thumbs up! Handsome cat!... I love cats

[@TheCod3r]

Haha thanks bud, milo appreciates you 😁

[@kyle.riemen]

New Sub here … you are an absolut amazing human kind and an inspration to learn more about fixing tech

[@andrewhenderson3593]

About 38 minutes in noticed cap/ resistor, missing around the encoder unless it was no connect but good vid as usual phill

[@Plan-C]

It is possible (although unlikey) that static from Milo killed the board. They are walking Van der graaf static generators 😬

[@Mymatevince]

Unlucky Phil, still an enjoyable video to watch. Good luck on the next 2 👍

[@TheCod3r]

Cheers bud, better luck next time 😉

[@mattsmith9225]

Look Proper professional with a tidy workspace👌

[@jamesdegriz]

Respect man. Youve inspired me to tidy my cave up!

[@GOONDADA901]

You and Steve are my TechTeachers.......

[@randallbro6749]

Steve isn't much a tech repair teacher. More like a hobbyists/KZbin personality. There's a lot more repair channels out that teach just as good as cod3r.

[@GOONDADA901]

@@randallbro6749 I know....

[@davidbingham5787]

I got a ps4 slim in last week that had a similar issue. It would boot up into safe mode, but after 7 seconds or so it would shut down after trying to boot. It previously had a prior hdmi port repair, and I noticed it was missing a cap. After replacing the cap it fixed the issue. Unfortunately the ps5 board wanted to work at first but eventually gave up for good

[@shannonfamily]

OMG You really did tidy up, I didn't think it was your space lolol, It looks great anyway, keep at it I love your stuff.

[@-ENIAC-]

Before buying motherboards from an unknown source, ask if the console has a login password. Without it, there is no point in buying and repairing it. Before repair, remove the batteries. Bubble wrap is not used for transport, it generates electrostatics or transfers electrical charges to components....

[@pmyhill]

Wow, cleanest I've seen your workshop !!

[@josephroberts6027]

Oh Man! You removed the " Bet you cant fix this " note! 👀👀👀👀👀 LMAO

[@Mark1986]

The Cat Milo 😂😂😂 he wants to help

[@stephenoliveau]

Louis Rossmann would approve of your "Random" pick.

[@jacob1000]

video from before the move ? Just nice to know if you are posting new material or recorded back in the day.

[@Dobbs-bz2up]

Next ps6 or 7 will be doing that next out will be no tape on there

[@robbo770]

Evening Phil

[@Chrisj-Pops]

It's what it is. Donner board now. And I'm shocked you have a clean desk 😉 😂😂

[@Samsemillya]

Was about time you clean up. This looks way more professional

[@djm9937]

My god ! he has, he's tidied up !

[@HD-wf3bp]

Are you often busy and than think "oh damn my coffee" and than its cold :( Thats always a sad moment.

[@100SteveB]

Love your videos Phil, shame about this one, hope you have better luck with the other two. My one suggestions after watching dozens of your videos would be - Please buy some cans of electrical contact cleaner, and use it to clean out all of your usb and hdmi plugs! So many times I have seen you think something was dead, only to find it was flux in your plug or port! Isoprop ain't the best at cleaning out plugs, I use the same flux as you, and 99.9% isoprop never gets it all out of the plugs. I have found that the cheap cans of contact cleaner you can get from ebay simply blasts any trace of the flux straight out.

[@2strokecherry]

I prefer the live videos matey

[@davedm6345]

You can see all caps are bad between HDMI port and encoder maybe you can do a test of those? or you just kill it with the input on the solder and HDMI ground? some caps on ground between hdmi encoder?

[@Lougardeixion]

Hey Phil! What about Tronicsfix's PS4?? Are we gonna have a part 3 of it? Thanks

[@tiosadan]

could the bios chip have been corrupted and replacing/reseting it may have fixed it before it went dead?

[@zonemanbobo]

Do you use an ESD strap? Or are they safe from static?

[@davidcocks2403]

First rule of any good work is the the strap working and properly grounded. Amd use a ESD grounded mat. Seems these rules are forgotten some times.

[@RandomGuy-om1vy]

Wonder if the board is dropped once and theres cracks on the APU or South Bridge solder joints. I think you can get this working honestly as it has booted once with no issues.

[@RandomGuy-om1vy]

Also the HDMI filters as well.

[@hadesmcc]

Damn, I really thought you had fixed it. Oh well, can't win them all...

[@saveroftheuniverse]

Does the ps5 not need a sister board for the disk drive ?

[@hannescampidell]

what is your desk multimeter?

[@josephroberts6027]

Milo is BOSS!!

[@dgayle67]

Dive in of course

[@colinboneham7387]

Nice try Phil, u have it all you could, but that board is a donar imo, cant wait to see p2

[@beverlyhyso7553]

What thermal paste do you recomend for the switch?

[@mck-gr]

Could it be internal pcb short? I got this on a switch board where another person had tried to repair it and it ended up with a shorted pcb on the BQ on that one.

[@snowysnowwolf6228]

Can I have your eyes then please lol

[@Old_Man_Pete]

I have paid my fine for skipping the ads 🤣

[@TheCod3r]

Haha thanks so much buddy

[@ellisgarbutt1925]

A strange fault at least we had fun witht the HDMI capture card shorting out and milo coming to invstigate take all the desk clutter is at yoour new house going to miss them dogs barking when your gone

[@youtubecritic4360]

So to buy a banned ps5 and replacing the board is still more expensive then a new ps5? 😢 guess another 2 Years I'll be waiting

[@Nathan-wl7zp]

I don’t want to insult your intelligence, but don’t you take precautions for ESD? the plastic bag on top of the boards and your polyester clothing must be generating loads of static.

[@jediknight2350]

great vids but after watching all this ps5 fiasco i dont think i want to buy one anymore lol .

[@josephnealescratchcards]

[@cfq.tufanuf7601]

BTK Killer!? I was just watching a video on him lol Update: wtf!! Its still has the video section name for this video from the last. Weird.

[@jeffmckeever]

You ever fix anything

[@TheCod3r]

No never

[@bryan2009]

Tidy asf 😂

[@Portuguese-linguica]

Cod3r on your last live stream you told me to go with a standard PS4 HDD . I ended up buying to addlink 1tb SSD cause it was a cheaper option and I plan to use it as a external SSD for when I pull the plug on getting a PS5 . I have noticed a bit of faster performance compared to when the PS4 was new but not much . Plus the HDD had completely failed and needed a new one .

[@jasonsaunders5950]

​@TheCod3r can i call u via the number on ur website to discuss a repair plz
