If only Sony would allow us access to schematics. It's either a small package capacitor, something obscured from sight, or a component that syncs the heat away too efficiently for you to detect it. This can be challenging to find.
@@GoCellPhoneRepair thanks i started on removing psu as i dont wanna remove the mb plating. The psu read 11.95 But it doesnt light up or blink. Do you think the problem is on board. I was thinking of buying a power supply replacement. But it seems i have to send it i. For a board repair
If you get ~12V with the power supply outside of the console but 0 when it's installed then it sounds like an issue on the board. Possibly a short on the 12 Volt rail.
Power surge, excessive voltage, and physical damage can all cause them to fail. There are always a few out there that may have a manufacturing flaw and over time other factors, like excessive thermal cycling or voltage stress, may cause them to eventually wear out.
I’ve got the same short on a board I’m working on. But nothing is lighting up. Dang!

Like the fact that you put things back unlike other vids I have seen around TH-cam
0:52 mr .. if its not showing 12 volts.. that means theres a problem with the power supply right?
Yes.
Very likely. You can confirm by removing the motherboard and see if the PSU is still at 0 volts.

@@GoCellPhoneRepair thanks man i get 12v on power supply itself
does power outrage cause this capacitor failures?

👍 nice
Thank you! Cheers!
Good to see you posting.
