There are parts changers and there are technicians..... you, sir, are a level above all of those. Great repair.

[@ToltecMerc]

Wow, that's very kind of year! I'm glad you enjoy my videos!

[@NaN_INF]

That fan connector repair is the best I have seen so far.

[@FirdausAlam-c2w]

Yeah new one for me 2

[@ToltecMerc]

I'm glad you like it! I think that should last a while.

[@NevArcanists]

A co worker let me have his ps5, it had a broken fan connector and broken drive connector i actually managed to solder the contacts to the connectors scraping and using your techniques it took me about 2 hours and the firmware was able to update after all that effort! thanks so much for making these videos ❤.

[@ajaks7636]

2 Repairs in one Video. Great Repairs and Video. Thank You.

[@ToltecMerc]

You are welcome!

[@mikeanderson1994]

Man i been watching your videos all day i mean old videos you are a LEGEND in playstation repair keep those amazing videos coming 👍👍

[@ToltecMerc]

Thanks! I'm glad people enjoy watching this sort of thing.

[@mikeanderson1994]

@@ToltecMerc Yes Sir we sure do believe me 👍👍

[@martinnash007]

That fan connector looked fiddely. Glad you got it sorted.

[@ToltecMerc]

It probably took longer than it should as I was trying to make it look pretty.

[@AzuaraRuiz-ot3tt]

(8:15) Soldering that center pin of the Fan Conn, in the shape of a letter "L" (right angle) was very clever. I liked it. SMPS damaged by a "guest"? How odd! That never happens on this channel. Seriously, both repairs are excellent, the one I like to see the most is an SMPS because they are always successful with you. A sincere congratulations. Thank you very much for sharing sir. It made my day. All the best.

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank you! So happy you liked it! More to come!

[@haakmeer]

great repair again, up to the next one

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank you! There are plenty more coming!

[@davidstrider2007]

Another great repair. I like the new lab jam music hehe :)

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank you! I do like to switch up the music when I can.

[@frankcarpenetti5776]

Just have to ask, what do you do with all these PS5's? Really curious? I am addicted to your channel, sucks when you take time off!! LOL.

[@ToltecMerc]

They are sold on eBay.

[@niels5207]

Enjoy your video's, how you do the repairs and your knowledge great!!!

[@ToltecMerc]

@@niels5207 thank you very much! I’m glad you enjoy!

[@jonathansandiford4137]

Good job m8. I fixed one a few weeks ago using clipped resistor leads as well. I also like filling the area where the trace ripped off with conformal coating, just so it looks neater. Definitely stronger than factory 😅

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank you! I have a ton of clipped resistor leads and they come in handy.

[@Console_Tech]

Awesome work of the ps5 king

[@ToltecMerc]

Thanks! That's very kind of you to say. I'm just a technician doing my best.

[@Console_Tech]

Because you absolutely deserve that.

[@fouadmida2230]

good work as always 2 in 1 nice.👍👍

Thank you! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!

Good job mate 👏

Thank you so much!

Been looking for a variac power supply for Awhile. Those old golden ones are hard to Find!

[@ToltecMerc]

I picked up mine off eBay a few years back. It has gotten the job done for me.

[@Rigamortis81]

The best!

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank you! That's too kind!

[@QsTechService1]

Good video fixing the power supply do you have link to good source of chips?

[@ToltecMerc]

I just buy TEA2016 and TEA2017 from Mouser.

[@repair-zone]

Hello teacher, what battery do you use for your multimeter 8.4v or 9v ? thank you ❤

[@ToltecMerc]

I have been using an 8.4V rechargeable Lithium Ion battery. I have 2 with USB-C on the side. I keep one charging at all times and just swap between them.

[@rory9174]

Brilliant video, thanks so much. I can't stand it when fixers just replace the power supplies, scared shless of AC voltage.

[@ToltecMerc]

Thanks! I enjoy power supplies!

[@brandonkick]

What do you use to apply the dummy load on the bench PSU?

[@EUCRAZY_AU]

Hi mate i have a ps5 that someone has shorted the connector (ripped off) so instead of 450/GND/450 im getting 0004/GND/405 my question to you sir is do you know where the fan connector leads to what chip ? i was going to feed low voltage from the 0004 and check where it heats up with thermal cam but thought id see if you have come across this before thanks :)

[@ToltecMerc]

I assume the fan control comes from the South Bridge but I have yet to confirm that.

[@EUCRAZY_AU]

@@ToltecMerc Thanks mate alittle update for you as you were kind enough to mention SB i measured PWM on another board and removed SB and boom measurement gone so it gets controlled from SB :) replaced southbridge with the one i pulled and shes back working :)

[@ToltecMerc]

@@EUCRAZY_AU that’s good to know. I have a board with SB and APU removed. I need to check it again with continuity mode. There may be a resistance in series. That could be why I haven’t found it.

[@EUCRAZY_AU]

@@ToltecMerc please keep me updated if you find anything 💪 also there is a giant pad on opposite side of fan connector for PWM if you ever need it for a ripped pad.

[@TOMelectronicsfix]

good work

[@ToltecMerc]

Thanks so much!

[@ElectronicMechanic50]

You get these on ebay as a fellow electronic tech i see them listed and always wanted a ps5 and to get one for a lesser amount of money that needs repair would be fun however the prices on dead units is astonishing to me they want half if not more for a dead non working.... 😊

[@lsouissi]

Good job

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank you!

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank you!

[@mouskakyo7571]

Can you try to repair a ps5 with error CE 108255-1

[@ToltecMerc]

I think that error can be caused by a lot of things. I'm not sure if there is a definite fix at this point.

[@mouskakyo7571]

@@ToltecMerc seen a couple of people fixing it by changing ram modules

[@tony359]

Haedware bug!

[@ToltecMerc]

True! An all too common hardware bug!

[@cordyceps4608]

A trace got exposed next to fan connector

[@ToltecMerc]

@@cordyceps4608 I knocked a tiny cap off. Is that what you saw?

[@stephenkurilla5210]

​@ToltecMerc you knocked the trace in the left side of the frame with your Drexel is what I think he's talking about. May need a little solder mask. I think the time stamp is a little before 4:33

[@TechTronics7]

Hotel Motel Roach Motel 😂

[@ToltecMerc]

I've seen plenty of roaches in my time!

[@gizmo1252000]

what happened to small cap on the ground mounting of the connector next to the 4 via,s .its there in 4.39 . but gone in 4 .41 ???? is it important ,can it happily live without it :) or do you already know ,and im being anal lol :P hahaha p.s i like the small round rods on the connection,s .genius :)

[@ToltecMerc]

I damaged it with my grinder so I just removed it. It's just a tiny bypass cap on the 12V rail. It can live without it.
