This PlayStation 5 Problem Is Far Too Common! Can I Fix A PS5 Not Turning On?

[@MrCougar1825]

there is way too many ps5 dying for sure something wrong with them this is almost 360 all over again if you are fixing this many there is no telling how big this really is

This didn't have anything to do with the psu

I agree, next video likely Tuesday is another ps5 with a psu issue

[@MikeGervasi]

@@TheCod3r Power supplies go for 3 reasons. Shorted/open diode on the bridge rectifier, wasted cap, or shorted/open transformer. As long as you discharge prior you'll be safe and I'm certain you can repair them.

[@captaincrunch1707]

Great repair. Wonder if these are usb circuits or where are these issues coming from. Obviously Sony has messed up here with cheap parts or bad design. Seems very fragile since people aren’t intentionally sticking forks into usb sockets etc

[@gamerX-wk7ct]

alot of the issues your seeing is from the electric coming from where the console is being used most likely its hertz drops or spikes if it's not stable it will cause these problems but won't effect everything but it's a slow killer on tvs and consoles it won't effect a toaster or oven or fridge it's possible but very rare but I have seen this problem in old apartments and old houses especially old rental homes also cheap surge protector can do this to . how do I know been in the electric feild for 26 years seen alot and wiring shortcuts are a big problem with landlords trying to save a buck .

[@cheapasstech]

High PV panel concentrations do the same

I honestly doubt it. Active PSUs can handle anything from 100-240v 43-63 Hz.

@@hmello3250 I measure outlets where 252V is coming out lately

[@gamerX-wk7ct]

@@hmello3250 yes there is a range let's say 60h anywhere between 54 to 64 is okay but 50 and lower or 65 and higher can start to burn up electronics even voltage spikes I've been in many homes where the voltage is ok but to many things tied into 1 breaker as the wires get hot the voltage gets lower and if the breaker is higher amps it won't trip so chances of something burning up or failing is higher and I have seen this many times where a breaker keeps tripping and someone puts a bigger breaker in . causes issues or house fire .

I have recently seen 245v coming from my sockets regularly. I assumed it was because I'm very close to a substation but I guess I'm wrong lol. I'm not an electrician so it was just guessing for me

[@showtimek3v]

Great vid I think this is the exact problem my ps5 has right now. It has no power at all, no beeping or lights, the controller works but the ps5 itself just doesn’t power on. I’m assuming because the power in my house kept going off while it was on , the fuse got fried .

"just to save a few cents per thousand units." Is it that, or can they not get a sufficient quantity of a better one for a somewhat similar price?

It could be that, but sony have been known to use inferior parts in the PS3 and PS4 so it wouldn't surprise me if it was a cost saving measure

[@TheRealBobHickman]

Don't underestimate the savings. I worked on a product where we re-designed the cardboard insert for a the retail box that was a difference of around a penny per unit, but saved us well over a million in total. Scale is everything. So as annoying as it is for us end users, I understand why this is done. I'm sure we'd all be willing to pay a little bit more for long term reliability, but there's incredible pressure to stay under a specific price, and every fraction of a penny if a huge impact on your profits.

my ps5 just took a 💩. it's only a year old and worked perfectly until one morning I turned it off, went to hop on later and the console gives no response whatsoever no beep no light. I took the front panels off and it looked like something burnt out judging by how there was black soot on the cover

To be honest every time I've had a 12v short it's been where 12v is dead short to the APU. Injecting voltage causes the APU to heat up like crazy. Unfortunately that's the only time I've come across it on the PS5 😮‍💨
