- This PlayStation 5 ALSO tested my patience to the limit. The last console I did was a Nintendo Switch from hell, well this wasn't much better. Kindly sent in by Gavin, this PS5 has had prior work, but it is completely dead, showing no signs of life. It did have the 2 second blue light of death. Can it be fixed?

Remember that this is just for entertainment and I am not an expert in these repairs. The processes in the video may not be the best way, the correct way or the safest way to fix these things. I do love fault finding and trying to fix broken things, so I hope that comes across in this 'Trying to FIX' series. Many thanks, Vince. - Jak na to + styl
Don't give up on this Vince! I suspect you have a blown fuse or transistor somewhere on this. The problem is you had a LOT of current going through the fuses, more specifically F7001 and F7502. It could be a southbridge problem but it's unlikely in this case.
I'm more than happy to send you a southbridge or two so you can revisit this by the way. Just let me know and I'll fire one over ASAP
Also look into UART. We have pretty much full UART access these days to find the exact fault code which is generated the moment the console powers up (even for 2 second BLOD).
Thanks by the way for the shoutout bud. It's very much appreciated ❤
Go on Phil the goat
@@TheCod3r I really like seeing that when youtubers help each other out like this,says a lot about the person,nice one Phil (but knew you were one of the good guys anyway)
This could be a beautiful coop-video? :-)
@danieltornqvist6062 agreed but it would be better for vince to fix it himself, not only for satisfaction but also to learn. Plus this doesn't actually belong to vince so I wouldn't fix it for free if that makes sense. I don't mind supplying him with parts though :)
Ooh been waiting for a PS5 from you 😊🎉
Southbridge isn’t married, just buy a reballed and throw it on. Could just be a resistor though or PMIC. If 1.8v is missing then it could be the original area where you started, perhaps the PMIC.
Keep up the great work, I love how you prove a fault and don’t generally swap components unless you know, I enjoy your adventures.
It will always be the last part you remove that is at fault because you will stop looking when you find the part that’s not working.
So funny. Why keep looking if you've already found it? Hahaha.
Hahaha, so very true😂
Just like you find your lost keys at the last place you look.
Lol! yeah in any successful repair the very last thing you do is fix it...every damn time !
Sometimes if a repair has been particularly tricky I've kept looking because I end up developing trust issues in the process. xD
Love your videos on electric boards so good to learn more watching them . Also I’m a mechanic and I’m sure what you have done it will pass mot no problem looking very good now ,even if it fails you will know what it needs . Cheers
Good work Vince! You always put your best effort forward no matter the result👍
Very entertaining as usual and I learn little bits every time.
Congrats on finding what the 12 volts rail short was...
As for the main problem, I've seen professional repairmen who are not able to solve that turn-off problem.
Most users report getting the PS5 blue light of death after a power failure, when the system was not properly shut down, or after a game crashes or when the solder joints for the APU have been broken. Some say a software update by going into safe mode/new hard drive works for them, others had faulty solder joints on the APU.
Nice perfect timing i was ready for another Vince video
Great show as always cheers Vince
awsome vid, thanks to you, i might have found a way to resolve my 12v rail short
It may be strange but a quick thing is the fan motor pulling the system down.good luck
Nice fault finding that mos-fet. It always amazes me how patience one can be. :D
HI Vince, I like your persistence. I would not even try to fix a PlayStation. Never had one in the hands. Also, having a power rail present may not be enough. There should be a power good signal too.
Good job mate 👍
It's always a good time seeing a notification from vince's channel
I noticed straight away why it no longer powered on. He forgot to put the ribbon cable back in for the power switch on the front of the console! 😂 🙈 Surprised you missed it as well Vince
Love your videos, Reno from Maine, USA
What doesn't get fixed, makes you stronger, Vince! :-) Great video, lots of tips and the fault finding steps are just worth it on it's own.
Oh man.. so much work but not all for nothing.. it has power again!
actually, no previous work is done - all those components are desoldered, because the Liquid Metal chemically reacts with the solder and after that the components just felt off, as the solder essentially is dissolved by the Liquid Metal.
Dear Vince, glad to see another of your videos! I've been following you for some years now and let me tell you, if i had the proper place i'd definitively try these things myself. Always ready for a new video, thank you for your good heart and will to continue inspiring people to try to fix their stuff. Greetings from Argentina!
Love a great My Mate Vince long video. 👍
Big Hello From Canada!!! Good try with such a monster problem board big guy. There were so many possible problems and you spent so much time working on it, I was sure you caught the problem component. For sure I would love to see you replace the southbridge chip and that whole bad hdmi socket for a part two to this episode. Sony is very bad when they design boards, for making so many different components connected in series, so that all the other good components are rendered usless when a single part goes bad or shorts out. There were so many possible shorted parts and who ever got the liquid metal everywhere should be spanked. Vince you put so much work testing and swaping components into the board, that it would be a shame to not try all your possible solutions. I have confidence in your skills to swap the southbridge for another spare one you have, but even reballing the APU to replace, is easy with a solder stencil. I HOPE YOU GO FOR ALL THE GLORY!!!! I believe you can exhaust all the possible faults causing the darn thing to not work. Keep up the awesome content and I can't wait for "PART TWO of "SENT to TEST ME!!!!"
🤘😁👍
Hi Vince, just wondered if you replaced the fuse you took off at the beginning F7501? I may have missed it
That black everywhere looks more like soot from the burnt out components?
Well done Vince could it be the Wi-Fi module ? Never give up 😊
Thanks Gary 👍
Hey Vince. A trick I do with hard to find shorts? Put the board in the refrigerator to get cold then have your thermo camera ready because it will help it be more sensitive to heat. Then if that don’t work ? Crank up the amps to the board and repeat. Hope this helps in the future.
Still waiting for VINCE to post another video of him breaking into a device running dubious android build.
Vince I’ve got a cctv system that will test you, it all seems to work but there is no signal to tv, I’ve run over it with a multimeter and I can’t find a short anywhere, but I’ve found found 4/5 surface caps that read as continuous thru the cap, I’ve looked all over the web for a circuit diagram to get voltages etc for the chips but no luck anywhere so I did the easy thing and got a new one, but I’m keeping the old one for now to keep looking, but I may send it you to have a play with.
Just an idea but when you wanted to connect the 2 boards together by ground you could use a piece of solid core and feed a loop between the 2 boards through the large holes and twist the ends maybe?
Joking aside, the blue mat is much better for your videos' color balance.
I feel you Vince.

Oooph that was a testing one! PlayStation 5’s look HARD!
Thanks for watching Kip 😎
How it broke:
1. Broken hdmi port
2. Attempt to fix hdmi port
3. And incorrectly applied cooler fried mosfet with liquid metal
Great effort Vince, this PS5 was defo sent to test you, pass it to Phil for him to have a crack at, I have a feeling there is a small amount of Liquid metal sitting somewhere it shouldn’t be.
Almost an hour? This’ll be a good one!
Keep fighting the good repair fight Vince and, as always, stay safe!
I know that the southbridge on xbox one s don't like 12V, because i accidently pushed 12v into the southbridge and it was gooone after that so yeah if the southbridge controls the gates and the gate got shorted with 12V it most likely blew the southbridge
Thanks Karthor
Vince that 1.8V is generated by a voltage regulator on the other side of the HDMI encoder. It takes in 3.3V from I think a dialog chip, uses a 3.3 enable signal from the southbridge and spits out 1.8V which goes to the encoder and another VR that generates .8V. I've used TI part TPS7A2018PDBVR as a replacement in the past. Unlikely culprit but check for the enable signal on pin 3.
Thanks Sublime, I'll look into it as I reballed a Southbridge chip today as part of a revisit video. I found that if I put 3.3v from my bench power supply on a voltage regulator next to the encoder that it does generate 1.8v. However the 3.3v feeding that voltage regulator is missing and the pad goes under the Southbridge (hence the reason I replaced it and spoiler alert it didn't work). I will look into the Dialog chip as I think the enable for that 3.3v might be missing!!! So have I read it correctly that the enable pin is on pin 3 of the Dialog chip near the F7003 fuse?
@@Mymatevince I just checked and I picked up source voltage for that VR from one side of the dialog/RT chip at F7003, pins 25 and 26. I'd send a picture if I could but such is the youtube comment section life.
@@sublime167 Thank you so much 👍👍
You have three broken PS5s now. It would be nice if there is a way to get at least one out of it that is working. I think I saw the replacement of the southbridge in another repair video. But it might have been a PS4 where the southbridge chip was replaced.
Noticed the APU liquid metal pooled up toward bottom of chip. Console was primarily standing during operation. That could indicate that the solder under the APU may need reflowing. Just an idea....
looks like the jumper wire to feed power in to the board is the same colors we use for cross connect wires in telecom punch down panels...do the British use White, Red, Black, Yellow, Violet and slate? in 25 pair?
Try changing out the fan, I've watched a video recently of a ps5 having a shorted fan causing it to turn off even though the fan was working, it's worth a shot
My mate Vince got PM! One day the r5 and roller will meet 😂👍💪
27:30 let’s all remember that Sod’s Law is only true because you stop looking after finding the thing.
28:04 you figured out which power rail is shorted to 12V. But you don't realized it. You measure the coil on this rail and 12V rail and it was shorted. If you try to find which auxiliary power rail is conected to main 12v take one probe on this rail(12V) second probe measuring the coil around and if its short you have you're suspects. Sorry for my English.
Valiant effort Vince. I've not worked on a PS5 yet, they look a bit of a nightmare tbh. On a different note INDUCTORS! (although I'm guilty myself of calling them coils still at times). Pity this one didn't come good, but great job in having a go anyway. Nothing lost, but more experience gained 🙂👍
22:40 don’t call me Shirley!! 😉
easier than marking. holes that dont have the screws have marks on them to indicate no screw.
I hope you’ll do a revisited once you feel confident enough that you fix it
If you do further work on this console, I will happily watch it. Great video Vince, that was a lot of effort.
Vince, Would the APU even get Power after removing the components that you have at 29:15 ?
You know, having a screw loose, rolling around on the circuit board could do any number of maniacal things in there. I wasn't paying much attention to where that screw could have been traveling around. Is that a thought?
Couple of questions for the group. I'm trying to fix a TV, I've found 4 blown smd resistors in the power supply. Blown so badly that I can't tell what they were. Where can I find schematics for something like this? The silicone mats that Vince uses on his workbench; Is that stuff available in a sheet form? I'm building myself an electronics workbench and was thinking I'd like to cover it with silicone.
Hi buddy just watched you ps 5 video very interesting but I did notice how the liquid metal has pooled at one side off the apu leaving it to get overheated and lead to a fail and it caused by running ps5 upright so when really hot it runs to one side you see it on the second board you bring in
did you recheck the mosfet after it failed to fix it, to see if it shorted again before u replaced the encoder that it could be failing cus the mosfet is shorted again?
You need a way of measuring low resistance....and comparing....inject 1 amp...measure voltage around board. Seeking minimum.
Injest 1 amp limited to 1 volt
I have a ps4 that one day stopped working and when there’s various methods that can make it work temporarily but it’s overall pretty dead, should I send it over as I think it could be a fun fix
Even if it's the first component you take off that clears your short it's the last component you took off. Just like when something is lost it's always in the last place you look 😊
Seems to me somebody in the console space should do a bit of scope work and document it a bit better as there must (is) some way of establishing the health of the graphics chip API? anyhow nice try Vince and its electronics like this that keep us grounded !!.....cheers.
nice troubleshooting, Could be that the 1.8v got a power good line so even giving it 1.8v could still pull-down the power good line, I am not sure of this
Thanks AR, I am going to revisit this one 👍
Gavin!?!?!?
You finally found him!?!?!?
two mosfet coil resistor are powersuply's on the bord restor them first then masure
Hey Vince just wondering if you are from south of London or maybe Hampshire just with your accent?😀👍
there should be a diode on the hdmi pins you wont get any life from the console without a hdmi signal, I only know this as I worked on one of these in my job and whilst changing out the HDMI port i knocked off the diode next to the pins and after 2 hours of trying to find it I did, refitted it and the same issue you are having but after turning the diode round the PS5 came back to life. Hope this helps you
Let me check this, thank you Malky
The high Current have fried the APU!
Nice. Something cool to watch on my afternoon. :)
Do you have a list of your gear somewhere? I like your hot air station
Good attempt. I don't think I would ever call ebay, a friend. I don't think you mentioned whether you had the 1.8V reappear, which, I think, comes from the regulator near to the HDMI connector, assuming the CPU is awake and turning it on. He says, pretending to know anything about PS5's.
I wonder if all that black stuff all over the board was not soot from the burnt coil etc instead of liquid metal
What are the different global settings? It looks like you can set it to different settings.
People need to know rhis aswell about any games console. If you keep it on its side standing position, the thermal pasre on the chips will melt and slide off over Tim. Therefore burning them up
you need to use lower voltage and higher amperage to show components heating. Try 1V 5A
But if the resistance not low enough you won't able to draw 5A at 1V
Ohm's law 😉
@@derallgaeuer7132 i know. But you shouldn't limit the amperage to 0.8A on the bench poweer supply
It seems I missed this little detail
Don't give up on it so easy Vince, have a couple boards here myself i refuse to give up on. One i have is missing the voltage to turn on the ram and yet to find out what's supposed to send out the voltage to it. Yup i'm very much a amature with these myself. I think its 1.37 volts. You done alot on it so far and learning. Keep at it 🙂
Hey Vince don't look at it as a defeat, but more like valuable experience. That takes time, just think about the guy who tapped a machine and charged thousands of pounds. You know the old wise tale. Take it easy and keep up the good work. you're doing great.
Is that chip at 47:28 looking bit odd? Or is it just flux or something.
Time for me to sit down boil the kettle and grab a malted milk biscuit because this is going to be one interesting repair!
That's been dropped & the liquid metal has splashed out then someone has tried to clean it after burning the components you can see the liquid metal everywhere those little blobs are liquid metal
Good job on the thumbnail and title! Should attract the younger gen!
hi my mate Vince
Nice fault finding, testing your persistence and patience again. Some things just aren't fixable, unless later learning something new, and revisiting for example this PS5.
Recently wanted to see if my old Citizen ana-digi wrist watch from 1989 still works. Bought a battery for it and indeed the digital watch works, and even the light works, but analog clock doesn't.
Buzzer didn't work either, because the contact spring is missing, but as a temporary fix I made a little contact part from metallic staple and indeed the beep sounds started working, so electronics and the piezo buzzer are ok, just needs the proper spring for better repair.
The analog watch however may be too complex for me, but I'm happy that at least the digital watch still works :)
I mean, nothing is unfixable if you have enough persistence.
you crack the hdmi chip
that dreaded haitch dmi port
Watch more of The Cod3r videos, if its been dropped the liquid metal, can get under the GPU protection foam & rubber!!
46:20 hdmi encoder chip that you put on as a replacement is cracked and probably not good worth looking into
Easiest way to contact you about possibly doing a trying to fix on a xbox elite series 2 controller , No stress about breaking it as already not used but would be amazing to have fixed ?.
8:20 How and why would it affect resistances on insulated tracks? Through induction? No, not really. Even if it was not insulated such a small amount of dirt would not affect anything.
Maybe try to swap out that dodgy ribbon cable to see if the PS5 starts up then. It might be worth a shot.
What tests us makes us stronger
Vince, i have an old 1980s RC car that needs fixing if you fancy it? It's a, erm.......ahem......Miami Vice Ferrari testerossa
i so annoyed if something as expensive as a ps5 and it wasn’t fixable can you imagine forget that 😭😭
Hey I just want to commend you for that video I was interested from the beginning to the end whether you had success or not you really gave it your best! This just boils down to stuff made in China that fails in my opinion. Everything's a throwaway Society these days and I hate that. I have a GE oven that cost $1,500.10 years ago the main display touch panel has three boards on it and I need to get a whole new display to repair it 800 bucks. The kicker is they don't even make it anymore. So look even GE ovens are throw away and 10 years is not that long. We need to go back to the olden days when things were made really well and lasted! Like my Sears Kenmore dryer still going strong after 40 years! Anyway I rattle on too much good video thanks so much it was awesome to watch
Wish this tech to be designed like being able to self diagnose. As every other regular person would have to scrap this product…
Guess the commission will send you the certificates for electronic repairs very soon😮
It's a long time since I'm not fixing anything that looks like this PS5. If someone fucked their PS5 that bad they deserve to buy a new one.
No idea what current was being pulled to ground.
Question, vince is your sons name tom? Im wondering because ive seen someone in your videos who used to have a yt channel and stopped uploading the channel is tom&dan
I find it amusing that my PC outlives modern consoles.
He's also missing the small cap next to the hdmi pins.
It must be important
