You are truly the best, with a very detailed description. Nice work 👍

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank you very much!

I don't know your language and I don't understand your words. but you do a great job and it's a joy to watch your hands

Perfect, thanks (again) for sharing your knowledge & approach to troubleshooting!

[@ToltecMerc]

Thanks! It was my pleasure!

[@Console_Tech]

Perfect as always

[@ToltecMerc]

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it!

[@AzuaraRuiz-md1bi]

Excellent repair of two faults. A sincere congratulations. Thank you very much for sharing. All the best. PS: (5:44) I could clearly see the part number of that Southbridge IC even without my glasses. Another way to say it, a professional (expert) approach. I am a new subscriber but I will dare to make a suggestion: Master, please, you should make a video for each PCB, that is, EDM-010, EDM-020... showing us (focusing on) the components of both sides or faces. .. well, It is always valid to ask (request). Thanks in advance.

[@freistedts]

I love how you determine a PSU problem a "simple fix". Haha. As always, great video.

[@ToltecMerc]

I love power supplies!

[@Ilegator]

​@@ToltecMercahh yes, the old DAP53 and feedback circuit repair simple fix 😂😂

[@abumohd3379]

Another awesome vedio and a lot to learn from you

Thank you! Cheers!

[@wrh0627]

Great videos! Could you please tell me what your microsope setup is as well as your hot-air station. Thanks again for getting great video's out.

[@ToltecMerc]

My microscope is a AmScope. I'm not really sure what the model number is but it's nothing fancy. Just a basic microscope with a trinocular port. My hot air station is a Quick 861DW. It works well enough for me. If you use anything long enough you learn what it can do and how long it takes to get something to temperature.

[@wrh0627]

Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions. I'm getting into electronics repair and really like your videos.

[@ToltecMerc]

@@wrh0627 best of luck to you. Find some inexpensive items and start trying to fix them. It is amazing what you will learn by doing. You may fail sometimes but you will learn something every time!

[@johnHAMMOND-l3u]

thank you

[@ToltecMerc]

You're welcome!

[@rfr653]

Good job mate 👍👏

[@ToltecMerc]

Thanks 👍 Come back again!

[@DrCryogenic]

Beautiful fix! I have a question. For the low diode readings you measured on the HDMI breakout, would it be possible to point out to a bad encoder by simply testing the caps around the encoder for shorts or is it not always the case? I'm guessing a short found on the caps will not cause the ps5 to even boot maybe?

[@ToltecMerc]

I have seen encoders fail in different way. If the power rails going in short, it will cause the console to just beep when the power button is pressed. With this encoder, just the outputs shorted. It's probably rare for it to fail like this one did.

[@DrCryogenic]

@@ToltecMerc So different fail scenarios for the encoders. Thanks 😁.

[@riparaggi]

nice T8280 preheater, I'd like to buy one too. Watch out the poor internal ground connection and If you want a quieter one change the internal fan. There's a nice video with a Noctua upgrade.

[@ToltecMerc]

It has been very useful to me so far. I got it so that I could do PS4 APU reballs. I have not been able to justify the cost of a real BGA reball machine.

[@jengen3624]

nice job again there 👍👍👍

[@ToltecMerc]

Thanks again!

[@Trucam2020]

Thanks

[@ToltecMerc]

You're quite welcome!

[@maverick9725]

What kind of flux and solder do you use. And great job.

[@ToltecMerc]

I have a roll of Kester and a roll of Aim. Using cheap Kingbo RMA-218 flux.

[@maverick9725]

@@ToltecMerc I’ve been using MAIYUM 63-37 Tin Lead Rosin core and am-tech flux. Don’t seem to flow all that great. Thanks for the info.

[@albertdavis1882]

How are you attaching your thermocouple on the backside?

[@ToltecMerc]

I simply wedge it into a nearby hole making sure the bead makes direct contact with the PCB. I use the clothespin to hold it in position since tape lets go under the heat.

[@serwdean1905]

hello sir thanks for the good and educative videos that u shows us, but i was wondering if u can make a video telling us the common general problems and how to fix them for ps4 & 5

[@korntoolapc]

Do you know where to source the fuse/chip for F3501? I have one that's obviously burned out. The person I bought it from said they "hooked it up to a car battery"

[@ToltecMerc]

It seems to vary with board revision but F3501 seems to be either a 2.5A or 5.0A fuse rated for 32V and size 0402.

[@korntoolapc]

@@ToltecMerc someone told me supposedly it's a USB current limiter? It's the black circuit with the 8 solder points next to that fuse that's fried. I'm pretty new to the SMD repairs and bought this ps5 as a learning device! Been fixing phones for 10 years and need something new. So I'm still pretty raw with this all, need to really dig into your videos.

[@TOMelectronicsfix]

good work

[@ToltecMerc]

Thanks so much! I do appreciate the visit!

[@sparky150875]

I have been injecting 3.3V at up to 3A and its just absorbing 3A and nothing getting hot. My thoughts are southbridge but with nothing getting hot it's hard to tell. Could you give me you thoughts please. I am at a loss now without removing the southbridge.

[@ToltecMerc]

Where are you injecting 3.3V? What model board? What are the symptoms?

[@sparky150875]

@ToltecMerc Hi, thanks for the reply. It is an original xbox one. I started at the inductor on the 3.3v rail just below the wifi/btooth connector as that was shorted. I removed the inductor to isolate the side that was shorted and had no current draw whatsoever. So I found it was shorted on pad 7 on the top row of the 2 rows of test points. It has a small cap next to it. Started at 1v @1A and ended up at 3.3v @3A absorbed all the current every time. I am an amateur but trying to learn. It's the first time I've done this so not sure if I'm correct. Thanks again

[@Foxx_69]

Just ordered my 8280 preheater, . I noticed you run an external probe sensor. Just another point of reference?

[@ToltecMerc]

I need to know the actual temperature of the board. The display on the heater just shows the temperature of the surface of the heater assembly.

[@Foxx_69]

Ok. I was wondering if a board probe's was included with it like some others. For chips like the south bridge. Or memeory. What temp you like to see?! I am doing similar work, but never used preheater.

[@motherboardrepairsPH]

How much cost for ps5 repair? I wanna try repairing here in our country. Just for hobby

[@ToltecMerc]

I don't really know prices. I only work on machines that I buy to repair and resell.
