My friend go for now 4x ps5 they got burned motherboards by liquid metal spilling out and I speak about un-openned ps5's . He sad that the liquid metal isnt well protected if you move or turn your ps5 😮🤔. Maybe that happens after you play heat up the ps5 and then move it or turn it around thats bad if that starts to happen to all ps5 .... 😮😮😮
right to repair is making major headway these days. It's very encouraging to see. I suspect in the next few years this could have been a fixable board.
We need to keep the pressure on all companies about this, don't let anyone get away with it. Even though some like Sony do have great customer service and will likely replace it for accidental damage we cannot let the pressure up. Companies like Apple who hike up the repair price to be more expensive than a new product to bait you into buying a new one are the worst in this situation, Samsung is starting to get there, which annoys me cause papa needs himself a new Galaxy s8+ screen lol.

Well, people are obviously buying broken, loose consoles for the MSRP of a brand new system, so it clearly isn't insane to ask such prices. What's insane is that people are willing to pay these prices just because Sony can't keep up with demand. Hell, have you checked PS4 prices lately? I've seen Pro's (just console plus controller) retail for 399€ last week.
@@notmyrealname1526 Wow, im glad I went on ebay and bought a used ps4 pro for $200 been using it for a month and I have not ran into a single problem, except for the absurd fan noise😅.
Just yesterday I had a similar case in my repair shop. Had a customer with PS4 Slim constant BLOD issue. Upon inspection, I've noticed that the big capacitor of the LAN port (missing from the board of your PS5) and the 4 filters were blown out. I've changed them from a donor board and I got to WLOD, which was great news. It turns out that the lightning strike has also blown the IC chip. Changed that and EUREKA! +1 happy customer! My point is that the chip on the other side of the board was actually fine. You're missing a capacitor there. Try putting it back to place, along with the 4 little filters and try again. Cheers from Bulgaria!
My Ps4 gives the blue light of death but I can't use the washer method to repair it because when I open mine up there is no clamp. Please can you give me a few tips on how to fix this. Also I cannot put my Ps4 into safe mode. I can only hold the power button for about 13 seconds until it powers off. Any tips on how to fix this please🙏
@@gerhardbritz1196 if your PS4 is Slim or Pro, your clamp is underneath the plank. That's why you cannot see it. Can you give a little bit of history of the console?
@@KindOfHero okay so I recently got it back from repairs. It had the problem where it turns on for a one to two seconds and off immediately. It was the APU chip that was faulty. The guy was bored one day and decided to flush my ps4 which surprisingly fixed it. I played for about two weeks up until I got the blue light of death. Ohhh, and my PS also had moist damage by the motherboard. I have had this playstation for five years. The problems started this year around February. It took quite a while to get fixed because we thought we couldn't fix it because of the moist damage and faulty apu chip.
Have you ever considered the short sniffer from testec. It uses a magnetic field (Coil) to detect traces deep within a circuit card. Just a thought to get you deeper into the board without having to buy an x-ray or excavate the board to find where the traces are going.
Thanks to you I was able to fix my 20+ year old GBA SP. Half the screen was faulty and thought maybe it could have been a faulty connection on the motherboard. After purchasing another GBA sp on ebay that was for parts or broken, I ended up being able to fix both because it was just a reflow job on my ribbon cable and the other needed a very small repair to the battery. Love the videos and love being able to fix my own stuff and others as well!
I love your "I got a 'broken' thing" videos. Some of them were basically perfectly fine... Others needed some work... And a few were totally lootable corpse basket-cases... But that's half the fun of repairs, right?
If these companies are so committed to environmentalism, then right to repair would be an easy way to reduce a lot of waste by people being able to fix instead of throwing them out. Shame.
judging by their blatant refusal to both give schematics and original replacement parts, clearly they aren't environmental friendly. they force people to throw away even easily fixable units.
Try to remove the network ic next to the ethernet port. I have found that removing this after a lightning strike will allow a motherboard to boot. It is worth a shot.
This. If the PS5 uses a separate phy chip (likely) it could just be fried and not fully booting because that chip wasn't responding. That still connects to the soc eventually but you might get lucky.
The Dual sense controller that came with my PS5 system actually developed a damaged right trigger. It was loose and didn't work properly. I sold it on eBay for about $40, so yeah apparently people are interested in buying damaged current-gen console accessories
We’re slowly on our way to our rights to repair. I loved seeing The black tab stickers on the PS4 pro that did not have any void warranty sticker on them or anything. WERE GETTING THERE 🙌
On the PS4, the ethernet port would have gone to a special second SoC that handled communications (so that it could continue downloads while the main APU was powered off,) then was connected to the APU from that. I don't know if the PS5 kept this design or not. The magnetic isolation chip is supposed to protect the system from damage though from the ethernet port.
Magjack is rated for 2,000V isolation. If you are running an ethernet cable anywhere outside, a nearby lightning strike will easily exceed that and arc over the isolation. Would recommend a RJ45 surge protector in those cases.
I lived in an apartment where the upstairs tenant had their air conditioner leak and it dripped down all day while I was at work onto a table and ruined it. So I definitely can see where water damage could happen...BUT...I would have definitely known what the issue was when my ps5 was fine and then water everywhere and not fine...so why play they may or may not games...it's to cover themselves to avoid a return.

Usually the ethernet is connected to the smc.(big chip in the corner). If there are no shorts around the apu, 30% chance that it isnt fried. Measure around the apu and the smc after removing the ethernet coils and the resistors(maybe burned some layers together).
We had a flood on March in ky. My advanced warfare console got submerged. I thought I'd mess with it a few weeks back and it came on. The HD is trash but i was amazed
And this is the reason why you shouldn't turn on electronic devices plugged to a wall during storms. Also the main reason why you should ALWAYS unplug EVERY cable from the console.
My PS4 always says my data is corrupted and most of my games don’t work. I’ve rebuilt my data base 50 times and I’ve initialized my PS4 like 8 times, I even took it to a specialist to see what was wrong and he said “nothing was wrong”. Anyone have a clue on what the problem could be.
Please do some wearables like Garmin, Apple, Fitbit, and Samsung, as most of them are trashed from the battery being “not replaceable.” Like my Garmin Instinct which is a bang for buck the best for battery life but at only 2.5 years old till the battery starts having issues is very lame.
@@MysticCoder You should always discharge any capacitor that possibly has high voltage (mains input filters) or any large capacitor on the output filtering side...

My ps5 bricked itself due to rest mode, sent it to Sony and they fixed it and once I got it back and played games it actually plays and looks way smoother than before, idk what they did but it was cool.
To test psu output, put multimeter probes on poles, you hear beep, hold on for several seconds, if no more beep from multimeter and numbers on display show growing resistance Output is good, else output is shorted and there is problem in output.
How do you give a big PS5, a water damage. This is a big appliance unlike phones or laptops. One usually put them on high places or somewhere far from moist. Sometimes one has to wonder. Lol
My son blew his up under a desk when a can of coke spilled. My wife placed a plant on the entertainment center and over watered it. Murphy has the water follow the path to the ps3
The PS5 has lots of openings from the grill at the top. If a can of drink drops that's it. On mine a piece of wire went in those holes stuck where the fan is and that was easy to get out.

To test psu output, put multimeter probes on poles, you hear beep, hold on for several seconds, if no more beep from multimeter and numbers on display show growing resistance
Output is good, else output is shorted and there is problem in output.
Awesome Job!! Have you tried to fix the ps5 gpu video artifacts issues ? You should make a video about that.
POV: you thought your screen was scratched at @5:35
Always plug your high dollar toys into a power surge protector
How do you give a big PS5, a water damage. This is a big appliance unlike phones or laptops. One usually put them on high places or somewhere far from moist. Sometimes one has to wonder. Lol
My son blew his up under a desk when a can of coke spilled.
My wife placed a plant on the entertainment center and over watered it. Murphy has the water follow the path to the ps3
The PS5 has lots of openings from the grill at the top. If a can of drink drops that's it. On mine a piece of wire went in those holes stuck where the fan is and that was easy to get out.
@@menglor if that happened to me I would be now minus one wife and son, lol.

Awesome video 👌👌🔥🔥
Glad you liked it
You can make your own schematic , if you have a board that works , you can find where things go
LOL at least they included the screws
For some reason feel sad when I see these broken consoles.
I don't know if it's just me but the camera you used for this video needs the lens clean. Or at least the one above your table
When it says "May have water damage"...
I worry it's not water. :X
Well at least you got one for parts
At 500 dollars! Hopefully he makes most of it back from ad revenue
Yep...lots of valuable parts in here.
that same thing happened to my ps3 as well. also blew out apart that is responsible for HDMI.
I have a PS5 not fully assembled ,but do have all the parts and was wondering if you can try to fix it for me ??
I guess saying possible water damage is significantly better than saying possible lightning damage
