TIA ;)
Should be a fuse at the transformer
Another good safety tip is to solder a ground wire to the PCB for your negative meter lead. Then you can use only one hand for the positive probe to measure voltages. This could avoid an electrical shock travelling across your heart from one hand to the other, potentially killing you. Also build a simple 240v series lamp, connected in the live to avoid anything serious happening if you accidentally short live and neutral, the lamp will simply illuminate and limit the current.
Good tip there.
That's how you do it.
Gloves my dude. GLOVES. Saved my life once upon a time. Not with PSU's but with house electrical in the wall. Thought I had it turned off at the breaker box (and I did actually) but it was not run through that specific spot and was still live. Cut the line and shot fireworks and melted my tool. Thankfully I had insulated tools and gloves.
Heatsinks on the primary side will be live when plugged in, can touch those while holding it by the edges, also be careful of lengths of solder and wick snaking their way toward things and accidentally coming into contact as seen the potential for at 19:20. When you've never worked on high voltage stuff the awareness of such things takes a while to achieve. Good job tho!
Excellent video and commentary. Both you and TronixFix take the time to refer to safety points and use proper terms for items and processes.
I once shocked myself quite bad - and since then I always wear electric-safety-gloves, whenver I touch PSUs or have to test AC powered devices with integrated PSUs. Glad to see you were fine and seem to not get shocked too bad @6:30
I bet that was a shocking experience (sorry not sorry happened to me too) 😂
Yeah I've had a few zaps in my time mate. Accidently hit a load bar in the consumer unit with my hand a few years ago. 240v AC with 80amps of how you doing (my main input breaker is 80amps in the house). Luckily I was sitting on the side of my sofa (I was doing repairs on the unit, replacing a burnt out RCD) so I had my feet off the floor and it was only with one hand so it didn't really hurt me apart from sting a bit
Great Video!!!!! Keep pushing, you are doing fantastic!!!
I have an old halogen gu10 bulb in a holder which has a set of multimeter leads wired into it . I use this to discharge high voltage caps. Works a treat :)
Good job, greetings from New Jersey 👨🏼🔧👍🏻💪🏻
Phil, I agree with your warnings. Capacitors should be discharged prior to touching anything regardless of when the last time power was applied. I know from first hand experience that caps can charge off anything INCLUDING FLUORESCENT LIGHTS. So anyone reading this PLEASE discharge and verify your caps every time before proceeding.
For discharge you can use regular light bulb. It is faster, secure and you can literally see if there is a charge left in the capacitor :) Also optocouplers are very unlikely to be bad - actually I never had one bad yet. ICs also rarely go bad by themselves if they do not drive directly primary winding of the transformer. Usually the issues are with mosfets that are driving primary winding, capacitors or resistors and diodes on controlling/feedback circuit. This case you have with broken transformer is a problem only on this model of power supplies. I never met other case such this one. Obviously bad design.
great work again
Get yourself a 10w 270ohm wire wound resister to discharge caps as u can hold the ceramic part with no issues and u will find it will discharge these caps almost instantly. Good to see your finally giving PSU's a go.
I reconnected the original transformer and repaired the pins... didn't work. The voltage in on the DAP chip was low. Nice to see that replacing the transformer might fix it.
That's nice video watching here sending full support
Last year I've managed to fix a PS4 Pro PSU where both transformers got broken because of fall damage (and it also had a shorted PFC controller).
The transformers used there look very similar to the ones seen in this video. (Although there are different revisions of the PS4 Pro PSU) Maybe it worth to check.
Love your videos Phil but you had my heart racing watching you handle that power supply. I'm no expert but I have fixed many power supplies in other electronics like VHS's and amplifiers. Please remove all that metal from your workbench before opening another power supply 😁. Job well done anyway. 👍
I've seen a few discharge tools but that resistor with wires attached is probaly the more better ideas I've seen, given there are various sized capacitors that exist.
I dont plan on messing with a power supp. But i thought you could only read 5v stanby power. 12v only activated the standby pin.
Enjoyed watching the video
Now I fans of your video😁
Thank u
Bom dia.Qual integrado voce usa no lugar DAP053T ja que e dificil de achar no aliexpress. Ou voce tem datasheet do dap053t.Teria schematic fonte ps5.Obrigado.
Hi @TheCod3r
I have a query.
In this video, you mentioned at 4:35 that the input volts of the power supply is 244V. So does it cause damage to the console? because Playstation recommends using it between 220V - 240V.
I am also getting the main AC voltage around 242V to 245V. I am a bit concerned on that. Shall I have to or not?
we use a lightbulb ,, 60w old wire one, not led across cap.. works a treat,, better than resistor,
Instead of a resistor, try a 240v filament light bulb next time. When the bulb is out, you're discharged.
Yeah I think I might give that a try, I've heard of a few people doing that
A 240v light bulb won't like 385v for very long.
I believe that that method is not very good for the caps. I'm no expert but the resistance of a bulb is very low and discharges the cap too quickly which can cause it damage.
@@TheCod3r use 100w filament light bulb to discharge th capacitor much love from Kenya
I fix power supplies for ps4 many times i did one today i use a 230v 100Watt light bulb to discharge the caps . can u tell me the name of the omron meter u are using i like it and would like to buy it. Thanks
470 Ohms 5watt best resistance for discharging tool.
Thanks for your very helpfull videos, cheers from Paros island greece.
Thanks buddy, I've been told a 2w 10k ohm works best, but I need to research more I guess
Yeah 50K is way too much. I just looked it up and Learn Electronics Repair uses 2.7K 10W.
I use 2x 2watt 27k ceramic resistors in parallel attached to some 2.5mm twin core cable. All nicely insulated and will safely discharge those caps in about 10 seconds. I think you see me use it in one of my PS4 power supply videos.
Always wear a fume extractor with your antistatic underpants 🤣. Seriously though, nice job as always. As soon as a new video flags up, I am watching. You are very wise to treat that PSU with respect. I always use the magnet wire out of transformers for trace repairs. Copper is expensive. Keep it up. Great to see your channel growing. Well deserved mate.
Hi TheCod3r, how are you?
First I would like to thank you for the beautiful tips and techniques that you show in your videos, I learned a lot watching you! Congratulations. I wanted to ask you, are you aware of the PS5 problem with the giant thermal pad that is causing a wedge in the cooler, causing greater pressure in a sector, squeezing so much that it makes all the liquid metal come out of a part of the DIE. The Brazilian version 1014A is coming with this thermal pad, we are all without an exact direction of what to do, if we remove it, if we reduce it... Do you have any information about this problem? Thanks!!! 😁👍
Thanks bud, much appreciated. I'm not aware of that to be honest, but in the UK we have several revisions, and some of them have pads whereas some don't. To me it seems like it's there to reduce warping on the board but I'm not sure if that's the cause of it or not
Just wondering to discharge the caps would it help to try and turn the ps5 on with the cord unplugged / disconnect it when the system is running?
I don't mean it in an is it a safe way to handle a psu, but rather more in a would it work sense.
That won't work because the power supply is not working so the PS5 can't draw any power from it at all to drain the caps.
What is that big multimater that use phill????
I am currently in the UK
I just tried this... Transformer ripped from it's legs after a drop. Palms sweaty, hands shaking. Even after using the fancy tool to depower. ⚡💀
Big respect for the disclaimer!
Yep it can be quite nerve racking, even if you're experienced it doesn't take away from the fact that mistakes happen
@@TheCod3r Just passed 6:30 - glad you're ok 😱
Mine was a fail... All the lights in my shop dimmed when I plugged it in post "repair" 🤩
I blew my self up with a tv inverter the one time, accidentally grabbed the transformer output whilst it was running. Deffo the worst buzz I’ve had. Not managed one in years 😁
Was working on a solar power inverter recently, some absolutely massive 400v caps in there.
Just get yourself one of the capacitor discharge tools with integrated voltage display. Much safer option than shorting the caps!!!
This channel is turning into the UK version of electroBOOM 😂😂😂 good video though mate thanks.
I worked on tvs in the 90s..my best method was a household light bulb 240 volt bulb.. it would light then go out..I had a sony tv on the bench for about 3 days,, that had not been plugged for that time, got to work on it and got a shock. 3 DAYS!!! so in brief be carefull with power supplys they can kill .
Best way to discharge is to use light bulb instesad od resistor and that transformer can be rewinded too.
Ay I’m loving the videos!! I’m early, I’ve been lurking on your channel and I like it, from tronicsfix I’m assuming u know him 😂
Thanks dude, I really appreciate the support ❤️ haha yep, I've heard of him once or twice 🤣
@@TheCod3r 😂 keep the content up your killing it🔥
If I open the power supply does that break it?
The Titan of Transformers
Can I ask why are u doing this 1 practice 2 just to test yourself 3 content or 4 is there a need to fix them over replacement with power is it worth it as it's dangerous and cheap to replace. Genuine question bro IV never seen anyone fix a power supply
Most power supplies are an easy fix, not just in consoles, and usually 1 or maybe 2 components need changing. I've seen hundreds of repairs and fixed quite a few myself. Just remember to respect a power supply, know what you're doing and be safe.
I'm too scared to ever open a power supply and that's probably a good thing knowing me! Even if I got good at repairing I wouldn't be brave enough.
my dude you are brave lol
I remember I took apart my ps4 psu like 2 years ago cuz was broken didn't know that they were dangerous ended up buying new psu after cleaning old one and it still didn't work
I use the capacitance setting on me Fluke to discharge caps.
I didn't even know you could do that lol
Where can I download schematics for Sony ps3, ps4 ps5, all versions?
How Long Does It Usually Take To Send Back Our Device After You Have Received It
It depends on the queue we have but normally 5-7 days
To all viewing if your a rich oil prince or just mega rich buy the coder a fitted custom work room like a laboratory best equipment desk everything bout 30ks worth lol😂 this guy is a genius and deserves limitless capabilities his style his way is different I wouldn't be surprised if one day he invents something insane
you are or you're, not your, that is possessive.
@@dougadams9419 you you're your a mug (had to edit your grammar Karen comment did we)
Haha thanks 😊
Get a 60W light bulb to discharge the primary caps!
Some power supplies have bleeder circuits but you never know so always good practice to check first. Way back in my Navy days knuckleheads in our shop used to charge up caps with a megger (hand crank genetrator to check grounding on power cords and such) and toss them at the unsuspecting passerby shouting “catch”. SMH We survived but 💀
guys used to do this into urinals while guys were taking a leak
@@ricmndy1 Haha oh man, that’s messed up 😆
Hey Phil. My ps5 gets hot when plugged in.. It's not powered on it's not in sleep mode..i unplug it to let it cool, then plug it back in.. It gets hot again.. Not scorching hot, but very warm, as if i were playing it.... Any idea?
Hey bud. I think that's quite normal. The problem these days is consoles are basically running 24/7 whether you like it or not. You'd really need to hook up a thermal cam to see what area gets warm but I wouldn't worry too much about it
@@TheCod3r thanks for the reply. I just plugged in my other ps5 to see if it does the same. It just made me concerned because I just fixed the overheating issues on this one, so to feel it be hot when it wasn't even powered on was concerning.
@_mylastname4221 yeah that's understandable. As long as it's running well that's the main thing 😀
@@TheCod3r 👍
@@TheCod3r I just felt my other console that I turned on, then off, let sit, and it's ice cold.. the other one getting power into the board as of it's powered on... I'm definitely taking it apart. This is a weird issue...I WAS going to sell this console but I'd feel wrong with it doing this... I've never seen this sorta thing
Saw on the description for DAP chip that the word "genuine" is spelt "gebuine"
that's how u know it's the real stuff lol
Haha whoops 🤭 ill fix that lol
What could cause the PSU to suddenly stop working? My console was never dropped and isn't near water, but suddenly stopped working and needed a new PSU
Your vids are great, but that desk how on earth can you work with that mess. Keep up the good work though.
230V is considered low voltage in industrial equipment! Try not to touch the board with both hands, keep one well away less likely to zap across the heart. And I hope you mean that 30 odd amps is on the DC side not AC side otherwise you'll pop a fuse or two!!
👌👌👍👍
You should of shown people how dangerous it can be if you are new to electronics by shorting the biggest cap in there after briefly powering it.
That would get your point across way more than any disclaimer would
It would but it can also cause damage to the components on the psu too
Your a brave man working on the high ⚡️ voltage power supply that's like working on a microwave it's a no no leave it to pro's 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣stick to fixing the main mother boards 😀 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is pretty ommon in laptop chargers .... this is why some manufacturers go nuts with the silastic all over It is the "heaviest" part so it is the first to suffer. I dont see much silastic in PS5 board at all. Even when it is not a portable devices .... still wont hurt.
How much can you fix my play station power supply
Gotta be honest I Expected your pleasure marbles to be absolutley glowing after this video.
watching you with that power supply making me cringe but as always i enjoy watching your videos friend
Check out the "Learn Electronics Repair" channel if you want to learn how to fix power supplies.
I agree, LER is great
@ 6:27 for your entertainment
18:22 sad Opimus Prime sits in store waiting
hey bro do u buy ps4 consoles? i have 2 in perfect working order that u can sell at a profit
10k 2watt best value phil
Yeah I didn't have any bud, so I just used a random 50k, whatever works 🤪
Heat and plastic makes easier work 😉
Ooooh, that's scary.
I thought that was a power factor corrector not a transformer
Learn about car audio amplifiers and then you will know power supplies...what usually goes bad is the mosfets, & then the drive ic's, & zener diodes, & resisters
any good sources where one can learn about car audio amplifiers?
Had a power supply after ps5 being dropped. The transformer ripped the pads.
Didint bother to discharge and got zapped with full power 🤣🤣🤣.
What an experience 😂😂😂
Ps. Decided to put on gloves after the second zapp😜
I shock my self with A microwave wow
6:30 🤦🏻
It's not the voltage u have to worry about it's the amperage that kills
PS5 Powersupply still have this fkng annoying coil whine??? Mean newer models 1100/1200 ver. Sry my english isn't the best...
I'm not sure to be honest mate I don't get many psu faults in for repair
Play station 5
Hi Coder!
Love watching your videos, they are very entertaining but please FIX your hair, cant focus sometimes because of it. PEACE
dangerous, hmmm. no, not at all
Love the usual content but my personal belief is never make video's about PSU repair. It dont matter how many times you say don't do this it will fall on deaf ears with some and plant a seed. For the cost of a new one its really not worth injury or even death.
Just replace the control ic and check the mospet
