Lightening did a number on that console, good video as always. Hope you had a nice Christmas.

[@ToltecMerc]

Indeed it did. I had a wonderful Christmas! Lots of new toys to play with!

[@ISquishWorms]

@@ToltecMerc Nice maybe we will get to see some of them if they are electronics based?

[@jamesk9375]

I've said it before, but your knowledge of the system and how it works is the difference between your channel and, literally, any other channel. Most would just swap another power supply in and call it good, but you go the extra mile to figure out why the power supply failed. I love Joey's Channel and he's still learning but you are literally light years ahead of him because of your experience. I run a small engine repair business and don't just replace carburetors because they aren't working, I rebuild the original carburetor because there's no reason to replace something when you know how to fix the original problem. You sir deserve way more credit than you're given and should have many more subscribers than you do, but you'll get there.

[@ToltecMerc]

Thanks for the kind words! I do enjoy the challenge of power supply repair. For me, it's also not practical to buy a new supply every time I encounter a dead one. My profit margin is tight!

[@jamesk9375]

@@ToltecMerc that's why I rebuild original carburetors versus just slapping replacement on the machine. You demonstrate a skill and knowledge that most people don't have

Great video. Happy New Year. Greetings from Portugal 🇵🇹

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank you very much! Greetings from the US. Happy New Year!

[@jamesk9375]

Anybody can put a brand new PS5 board in and brand new power supply, but you actually fix the problem.... another amazing video... as always

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it! More to come!

[@winlose3073]

The videos on this channel never disappoint me always very good knowledge and experience .Regards Sir !

[@ToltecMerc]

Thanks for the kind words. I'm glad you are enjoying the videos.

[@ajaks7636]

You have a Vast amount of Knowledge, and the equipment to perform repairs Correctly! Excellent! As usual. Thank you.

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank you very much! I appreciate your kind words.

When I receive a PC SMPS (one of those vertical or horizontal mini tower types) and I find the fault, I tell myself: the troubleshooting method that I learned with the toltecmerc master: it works, that is, I test in diode mode first without power, I then power and measure voltages and record all my measurements by hand in a personal notebook (kept in my desk drawer) to refer to later when I receive another one from the same manufacturer even if the models have small changes in the part numbers of the components used. Another way to say it: Thanks to you, I don't fear receiving any switching power supply from some electronic device for a checkup or diagnosis. When I first saw the length of the video I thought: What the hell happened to that MoBo? Did the CPU die? Excellent double repair. Thank you very much for sharing sir. It made my day because I like long videos (length). All the best.

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank you so much! I'm glad it wasn't too long for you!

[@haakmeer]

dubbel repair, a after Christmas party Great job again

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed! Working on more!

[@toolsarecool]

Wishing you a very happy and successful 2025 with many more satisfying repairs. I am very glad I found your channel, because of your professional, no-nonsense approach backed by actual knowledge vs. a “let’s change this and see what happens” strategy. I have few subscriptions and you are in the top 3 with MendItMark and Mick (buyitfixit). Cheers!!

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank you very much for the kind words! That is come prestigious company you have me in!

[@waleed9128]

Great repair video. Question: usually a power supply supplies power but you are using it as a load, please explain that concept. Thanks

[@ToltecMerc]

I think the device you are seeing is my DC Electronic Load. That is not a power supply. It acts a resistance for the PS5 power supply that I am working on. It is the best way to test that a supply is working properly without being inside the piece of equipment.

[@amjadalheeh2798]

That’s greet job I learned something I was looking for.. large respect and thanks a lot.

[@ToltecMerc]

I am glad it was helpful!

[@Console_Tech]

Great Video, the power supply repair was tough.

[@ToltecMerc]

Thanks! Lightning damage always makes things interesting!

[@Console_Tech]

@ToltecMerc oh lightning again, yes indeed.

[@paulmedford3490]

im addicted to fixing these now, so I know how you feel! keep up the good work. I want to find a way to get the daughter board to sync with other motherboards. will work on that.

[@ToltecMerc]

It is very satisfying to bring them back to life! Best of luck in all your repairs!

[@davidstrider2007]

Nice work as always. Hope you had a great Christmas. :)

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank you very much! It was a really good Christmas. I got some new toys!

[@davidstrider2007]

@ToltecMerc nice! I did as well. Added the Kunkin p184 , infiray p2 pro and an isolated ac power supply. Hoping to up my game with power supply repair. Learning a lot from your videos. Thank you for sharing the knowledge sir.

[@Bruno10301]

Hi , nice videos !! I have a problem with my Ps5 Bios , do you have a good dump for a CFI-1016A to send me or sell me ? Thanks you so much

[@ToltecMerc]

I don't have any 1016 dumps as those are European consoles and I don't really ever see those models.

[@TechTronics7]

I knew it wasn't going to be an easy power supply fix when you fixed the console in less than 10 mins. Had a similar issue on a 400FR where fuse and fusible resistor were fine but the same pfc mosfet was damaged and one took heat on the board but it was fine.

[@ToltecMerc]

I don't mind power supply repair. Most people avoid them entirely. I have a whole box of PS5 supplies waiting to be fixed. Thanks for stopping by!

[@mikeanderson1994]

Amazing work great job Sir as always 👍👍

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment! Working on more!

[@Magsyboy]

Hello sir what is your background in work? Did you took engineering when you a lot younger? Your very very good in electronics… mostly in power supply faults/ power rails

[@ToltecMerc]

I have worked as Television Broadcast Engineer for almost 40 years. I have worked on lots of things over that time. Now I just work on what I enjoy. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@Magsyboy]

@ i enjoy watching you sir, because on every video you made, you manage explained the functions of every components inside that were gone bad

[@BRGKasumi77Main]

32:08 what music is this?

[@ToltecMerc]

It's called "Skylines" by Anno Domini Beats. It's some free KZbin music.

[@BRGKasumi77Main]

@ToltecMerc thanks for the info I'll look at it right now,!

[@serviplay]

Good job 😊 but why you use the HDMI ENCODER Brand NUVOTON?

[@TechTronics7]

I think Panasonic sold the Chip design to Nuvoton

[@ToltecMerc]

All of the newer HDMI encoder ICs for the PS5 will be marked Nuvoton. Panasonic sold that division of their company. It's still the same part, just a different name.

[@tommorgan7043]

Nice fix. One thing that triggers my OCD is the squeaky chair. A drop of oil might fix that. 😅😂

[@ToltecMerc]

Thanks! I may need to tighten some screws on the chair.

[@graphicscardtech3167]

Hi, could you tell me what kind of paste you use for the back of the mosfet?

[@ToltecMerc]

It is a thermally conductive grease compound. It's called AA-Grease 04. I got it from eBay.

[@edwardsauceda4858]

do you have a list of your parts replacements for consoles (IC, mosfets, capacitors, etc)? i would like to buy all of them in one shipment

[@rfr653]

Good job mate 👏

[@ToltecMerc]

Thanks for watching!

Wonderfull video

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank you so much!

[@isakill]

So, thats where that liquid came from when you opened the supply

[@ToltecMerc]

Possibly. I did not notice anything on the PCB though.

[@JordanSpinks-e6f]

Id still throw probaly any tracer out...Know it had some burnt plug stuff...it probally dont matter and yeah dude your ferrites could be 1meg or might be 10-20megs who knows...
