You should've said "there's 12 volts for you" right after the fart, that would've been perfect timing.
Haha yeah now you mention it that would've been hilarious 🤣
Omg that would have been perfect lmao 😂😂
It can be edited, though. Make it a “TheCod3r”-memeclip
Best video
as a electrician you just gave me a heart attack testing that cable lol , but at least you gave the warning never evaaaaaaa do this.... that is good XD
Haha yeah I give myself a heart attack sometimes too 😅 I personally trust myself but you never know how silly some people will be lol
I've seen people at work test power supplies like that, They just say it's okay as long as you're careful.
@@staminaman77 that what all they say until boom 😂
@@RetroComplex I dunno, don't think i'll ever do it. If i don''t hear a crackle when it gets inserted into the device i'll assume it's dead.
Hi Phil, because of you and your advice I keep my PS5 horizontal. I also send this advice to my mates.
Love watching you work.
🤔🤔🤔
Thanks for the fast delivery of the solder. Great service.
Awesome buddy, thanks so much
@@TheCod3r may i send you my second partway defective ps5 for some repairs? The front usbports are dead, the backusbports quite damaged, hdmi port is also not in the best shape but still working. I got it used and it got beaten up pretty badly. If you open the console, you see that the heatsink is bent. Its somewhat a miracle, that this console works
@@TheCod3r Would be great to get an update on the possible stolen power supply if it has been you should name the shop hopefully people in the area will check them out and report their findings or maybe yourself could start a new series rip off repairers by sending your own watermarked stuff in to shops with shady reviews etc ie you do your regular vids and then once you diagnose and fix the problem re do the fault and send it off to somewhere else and see if reviews are true.
@@TheCod3r to add woops I don't think it would take too much extra time up except a few mins dealing with the shop and sending the stuff off, you would become the new rip off britain tech support scam finder lol
Cod3r: *Drops console*
Also Cod3r: "I can guarantee this has been dropped"
😂
Bet me to it lol 😂
Haha yep 🤣 definitely wasn't me who caused that heatsink damage though 🤣
Iv'e had the Series X and S since launch......... i purchased a PS5 3 weeks ago, i wanted the digital edition but got the disc version as it was the only one available.
I did have it stood up, but hearing about these liquid metal issues and the proof iv'e seen, i'm not too proud or pig headed to ignore the warnings and keep it vertical, i laid my PS5 flat and i'm keeping it that way.
Even if the percentage chance of damage is small. 1% chance of it stood upright could cause damage is still too much at the cost of £485!
Liquid metal on the left side? The lower side if the console is standing vertical? How can be possible! Liquid metal defy gravity!
Haha yep, strange that 🤣
this video is awesome
you detected the issues and repaired them in a blink of an eye !
I finally got around to linking my Amazon prime to twitch! Cheers!
Thanks for my low melt the other week! Started using Kingbo instead of Amtech v3 and I have to say I'm impressed. So if you start stocking that you'll get my next order!
which revision do you get most to repair? 1000, 1100 or 1200? i recently got a 1200 and never heard about main issues of this rev yet...
You Sir are my favorite electronics technician. Did you learn in school or by life? I did by life. Could you do some videos on PS4, ps3, PS2 etc. I have learned electronics by myself and fixed C64, 2 Atari's and now working on an Amstrad cpc 464, that's killing me. I'd love to see you problem-solving on it. Bad ram
Did the customer say it had been to another shop
@TheCod3r : Sony and AMD should be more careful in designing the SOC. This "duct tape" approach instead of resin insulation/encapsulation of capacitors around SOC. Did you recommend applying Thermal Grizzly TG-Shield coating on the capacitors around SOC ?
Do you think series x and s much better for longevity?
Was replacing the cap necessary for operation? 3 should cover the filtering (but I get it's a repair for a customer).
It does work fine without but I always replace it because it's going back to a customer 😉
Hi, I remove all capacitors, from both sides and I still have short
Great work. Enjoyed the video.
Bruh how it's on left hand side , because during vertical position due to gravitational force it should be leaked below ? So what should you recommend vertical or horizontal?
And and Ren should do a duet about the Liquid Metal song.. I'd pay for that.
I was wondering can you buy the screws for the fan as the head of one is knackered thanks
Those popcorn ceramics do not like the voltage spikes you see in the DC to DC converter circuits.
On Monday i got a PS5 in that was body slammed from rage from FIFA
Disc drive plate is broken
Fan is broken
Disc drive is broken (only the laser and daughter board are fully working)
Heatsink is bent all across
The little grill on top of the fan looks like a bear chewed it
Oh yeah CEX had changed the HDMI port previously and damaged the black wire coming up from the power supply side..
Still works though got it fixed up
Great you got it working buddy. That's a lot of work though
Holy fking shit
This video beats them all at 0.5 speed, i mean in the beginning when the ps5 drops on the table, that, yea that cracked me up! hilarious! 🤣 And i gets better when he says -This ps5 must have been dropped, "just got dropped onto the table". 😂
All I want to know is how do so many people "drop" their PS5's?
Butterfingers. Inattention.
Hrhr phil is hooked to cypress hill. I like ;D
That was a fart? Hold my beer!
A'ight bet 🤣
That was a fart hold my lighter
Consolefixdotshop is such a great guy he even sold me 50g of Kester nice fix as usual also steve from Tronics fix need to go to sony HQ and teach them how to apply the perfect amount of liquid metal
@7:53 How to preheat your boards
I have a question. Has anyone tried removing all the liquid metal from the apu and heat sink and tried using some newer gen thermal past like Noctua NT-H2 (or equivalent)? I've seen a lot of tear down videos and there always seems to be a dry spot somewhere on the APU. I am wondering if long term a high quality thermal paste would stay put and be more beneficial.
I'm not even sure why Sony opted for liquid metal to begin with.
tronicsfix has tried arctic mx-4 on a ps5 and it did overheat but for noctua nt-h2 im not sure
@@Endzima_ Tronixfix also uses some cheap chinese thermal paste 99% of the time. I've only ever seen 1 Arctic (think it was MX4) tube in his videos, once. Every other time he uses some giant unnamed syringe. And I've watched most of them.
Also if I remember correctly, that video was with the original 1000 model when the PS5 launched. The new 1200 should be a lot easier to cool, someone needs to test this. Any modern thermal paste of quality should be within 1-2 degrees of the performance of the liquid metal. The ONLY time you normally use liquid metal is when you need every bit of cooling that you can get because of heavily overclocked chip or something. Which the PS5 is not.
@@cyphaborg6598 Because 7nm has cooling issues, it is very dense. All 7nm CPUs, for example, are soldiered to the heatspreader because of this, whereas most of the older processes (14nm, 28nm, etc) used thermal paste, because it is cheaper and the transistor density was way lower - there was enough "free room" in the chip in between the transistors to soak up and spread the heat somewhat evenly through the whole die. 7nm, in contrast, is so dense that this is impossible - heat is concentrated in many hotspots, requiring immense thermal conductivity of the interface material to properly cool them. Hence the soldering in CPUs and the liquid metal in PS5 - Sony took the safe bet. This should be resolved in the latest processes (5nm, 3nm) by integrating special heat transfer links inside the chip, but 7nm, being the first process to face this issue remains affected. Not sure about the 6nm that the PS5 1200 model uses - it is more advanced than the 7nm of the original 1000 model but it is technically a variation of 7nm, it is not a new process.
@@tusux2949 fair, thought he used arctic all the time
When you did your first voltage test and got your first 5v and then 3v,.... What would I look for if I don't get that 3v , but instead hey a short to ground? I'm getting that short there, and at that 3prong between the 15jL(5v) .. Very confused
Hi hope it is ok to ask here , but want is a good starter Soldering Iron on Amazon UK ...thanks ....
I know you fix a lot of console Motherboards, but do you also fix Pc Motherboards? I had a power outage and Motherboard died.
Great fix fella..
Cheers pal
What’s easier to replace and quicker Liquid Metal ps5 or thermal paste series x?
I think the paste is easier. Same as repasting a CPU or GPU. No hassle with liquid metal runoff
lol how is that guy still in business with a heart of gold like that
You win. But I also win because I get to watch these videos 🤣
Haha thanks buddy
Nice-job!
Hey! I watch your videos and learned quite a bit of micro soldering. I have a couple ps4’s with the same issue, I looked on your videos and couldn’t find one with a similar issue. I got ps4 slim and a ps4 1215a. They both won’t recognize a hard drive. I tried two different new harddrives, a different power supply and on the 1215a I changed out the chip number mb86c311b and the issue still is present. The only thing I can think of is a south bridge issue, any thoughts?
You are a very talented guy and I watch most of your videos because you share educational knowledge in electronics repair but you should be more respectful towards the viewers and your attitude should match your knowledge
everytime i see liquid metal on a ps5 i always think it looks way too much .. the idea is still the same right? its just suppose to make the contact as pure in places where the contact isnt perfect, seems like a even layer across the entire die is far too much, why not a small line down the middle and let the force of pressure spread the bit of liquid .. always seems alot especially the factory amount... id like see some tests done with much less liquid metal applied .. id like see the minimun liquid and temps :)
I think those caps are failing so often because there are four in parallel. If one has 10% chance to fail, four has 35%. At 50% it goes up to 94%.
Sony programed obsolescence well calculated my friend !
Hey Cod3r, great content. Are you up for fixing some graphics cards? Or better, heve you ever ettempted to fix some, or its a waste of time in your opinion?
Hi, is there any video of TheCod3r fixing the "coil whine" issue on ps5?
Hey Phil, nice fix. But how can you be sure that the customer won't blame you for the swap of the power supply? Is there anyway that you can prove to him that it was not you who did the stealing? Anyway mate, thanks for the video. Take care.
Hey Phil, can you aswer a question, i have a ps4 pro that stay in blue light for 20 seconds and then shuts off, i was analysing the motherboard and i realized that 3 off the 6 vrm mosfets that inject tension in apu works in a strange way, this is normal? Or they should work always togeter?
Never ever do this. Proceeds to do it anyway. LOL
So many ps5s with so many problems!! My ps5 had the fan issue but I took the risk to clean and fix it, and added o rings and sounds good :)
You’re always going to get ones with defects. Mine in early 2022 was randomly shutting off while playing games and corrupted some of my game saves. Hasn’t happened since, not sure why that happened and what made it stop
Yeah as Owen says some are going to be defective. The main reason we're seeing so many on my channel is because I'm becoming known as the PS5 guy. The more I repair the more I get sent lol
@@TheCod3r true, haha I guess Sony didn’t plan these ps5s very well
@@TheCod3r Mate could you make a video for the majority to watch it about your estimation of time we should change the metal liquid to avoid spot on the cpu that may corrode... a change per year/2year/3years/4years/5years ?! in order to not open and dive in the damn thing for nothing... please tell us your opinion!
I wonder what will last longer ps5 or Xbox series x
Mate! I dont think I have ever seen anyone just DUMP the ipa bottle on the board! lol
"If You're Not First You're Last!!!"
🥈
Second is the first loser 🤣
I lol hard at that fart omg 😂😂
Hi mate love the videos how do I get in contact got MacBook 2012 water damaged board could I send it to board only for the channel
Can we replace base ps4 apu with ps4 pro apu
You Sir are gifted and love your repair vids but why don't you see do PS3, 2 or oldskool computers as I do Atari's, commodore 64 Amstrad cpc 464, I'm not trained in electronics but learned electronics by myself and 2 Atari's 1200's commodore 64 later fixed. Amstrad cpc 464 a different matter. Bad ram and Rom but I will fix it. Any advice you need on old computer's let me know and I will help you free of charge. You are a good soul. Keep up the good work
probably because no one have a PS3 that dont YLOD...
and honestly theses PS3 was a nightmare to dissassemble.
Another great video, thanks :)
What happens if you remove the liquid metal and use something like Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut instead? (do not work for them lol)
Anything except for liquid metal will cause it to overheat. Other TH-camrs have done this.
It's better to fart and stink a little. Than hold it in and be a cripple🤣
Hi, i have a question, it is possible that my ps5 perform worse (in terms of frame rate) than other common ps5? or it is just my impression?
Thanks!
Thanks so much buddy
That cup of coffee placed right between the electronics kept bothering me😬
me too lol , but its how he like it ;)
do you no why my ps5 wont recognise the controller when i go and turn it on i have to turn it on and off and back on for the controller to connect sony said they will fix it but for 250
Try pairing it with a different hight speed usb-c.
Hi Phil, what’s the problem with a ps5 digital edition that reboots and the games crash always
Sounds like potentially ab SSD or SSD controller issue mate but it's hard to say. It could just be something simple like overheating
How does your coffee go from black to white between 21:28 and 21:33 :)
Nah it just went from full to empty 🤣
Lol just bought a ps4 slim 1tb for $50 disc drive wouldn’t work pulled 1 wii game out of it a dime and 2 pennys so got it for $49.88
How much would you charge to fix a ps4 hdmi port
£50 plus the return shipping mate
What up bro longtime No see 🥹😅 Amazing work man 👍🏾
Maybe it is only fuse on his psu

Great video great fix as we are used from you. Your skills are really awesome.
Cheers buddy, really appreciate that

I lost 😆
Haha yep you damn right fool 🤣
Between you and tronicsfix I learn a lot. You are constantly learning and evolving and obviously you look up to him.
I love watching your channel. If there's one suggestion I could make it's that I find his work area to be immaculate and organized and I think that tremendously helps.
Even if you don't have a lot of room perhaps some vertical storage so you can keep things off of your work area. Just a suggestion. Love the content. Keep it up
A nice comment like that and he hasn't even bothered to like it!!! This guy is an ex con went to prison for fiddling with kids. You shouldn't watch his content.

why is your kester solder almost 100% more expensive than it is from mouser ?
It's not. I sell it in smaller quantities because the average person doesn't need 1lb of solder. It's actually a loss leader. I don't make any profit on it after tax and postage
@@TheCod3r Well i don't agree with the assessment, but i do appreciate you didn't just delete the comment; others can check our claims if they want so it shows you have nothing you are trying to hide. So all is good.
@@shambleslongplay3566 I do let it be known Kester can be bought for around £45 on Amazon US if people have it imported. But what I'm doing is providing a smaller quantity to people who either don't want to wait 3 weeks for imports or don't want a full reel. I'm happy to give the math on the entire reel
453g on each reel so 9 x 50g @ £13.50 per pack = £121.50. Take 2% for payment fees and that's £119.07 - £45 cost is £74.07. It costs me £1.45 for RM first class, 30p for additional packaging (printing, internal packaging etc) plus 80p for a bubble pack and that's £2.55 postage per pack. Multiply that by the 9 packs and that's £22.95 in post and packaging. Deduct that from the £74.07 and then take 20% off for tax and it leaves £40.89. So essentially I'm hand reeling 450g (or more specifically 450m as 1g is 1m on this specific size kester) for £40.89 profit. So not quite a loss leader, but it doesn't really make much profit all things considered.
It takes a few hours to hand reel that much solder off a reel, weigh it, bag it and package it up. So when you think about it, I'm probably working for about £15 per hour. Yes it's a good wage but I'm definitely not getting rich from it. It's more just an option to provide quality solder to people who need it.
Hopefully those numbers are understandable. There's a lot there but they're accurate numbers 😉
If you only charge £50 plus parts then you are robbing yourself.
You should charge more just for being a celebrity fixer! Add a "repaired by the Cod3r" sticker for good measure..
To be fair though, I don't know the going rate of any competitors out there, but you do such a thorough job you should charge appropriately
For sure. As a self employed person I only started charging what I should about 8 years in. £50 is way too cheap.
I'm definitely not a celebrity lol. That said, I'd only charge £50 on this job as a discounted rate because otherwise its not economical to do. The problem is any more and they're better off sending it to Sony as they charge £240 as a flat fee. In this case it's either I charge a little less or don't get paid, so I'd rather have something over nothing lol
@@TheCod3r you obviously know your business better, we just want you to get the best for what you do. We love watching and hopefully TH-cam keeps growing to a point that it can supplement the lower fee. That way customers get a better price than sending to Sony and you get the financial reward you deserve.
Ps5 is the worst engineering design for a console ever

"Never do this"
Does this.
One day a dopey TH-camr will fry themselves on a livestream
One thing you have to remember is, I'm experienced. I can do certain things because I'm aware of what's going on. To some, probing 240v isn't perceived as dangerous and those people should never do something like that, because they have no awareness at all. Personally I know where I can and can not touch. I personally know and trust the equipment I use, and I'm always aware of what the limitations are
@@TheCod3r In the same video you have a cup of coffee on your workbench, right by exposed mains powered equipment and what looks like a low level mains supply. A healthy dose of over confidence, tiredness and knocked over cup of coffee is all it needs to experience the full joy of 240v at 12 amps. For your own safety stop and have a think about the safety of your work environment, then you might live long enough to appreciate a small bit of friendly advice. Good luck.

Eh
Why 90% of TH-cam fixes, are PS5 (are they really that bad quality of consoles?)
They’re not bad quality at all, had one since launch day and only had one problem which went away on it’s own.
I think it's just the amount of consoles in circulation to be honest
@@Owen01 congratulations you one of the few lucky ppl. The rest are not so much.
@@lucassol7418 the rest ? You are making out like 90% of PS5s fail which isn’t the case you are just seeing the faulty ones on here not the ones that are perfectly fine they have sold almost 33 million units already you are bound to see duds
@@CH-bn7qb (the REST of UNLUCKY ppl) i never said 90% of ps5's (i said the fix shops business) are mainly ps5 with few thisng on side here and there, and not all repair shops are on TH-cam (same as my shop,/in less than 2 years) we got more business from ps5 than entire ps4 time.
