I like it when my TH-cam techs that I watch for tips admit they don't know what is wrong. It happens to everyone. Thanks for the honesty and you did everything to try and find the problem. I am also pretty sure your guessing is correct, probably heat expansion did a number on one or more components. Thanks for the great content!
Thanks bud, yeah sometimes it's OK to just realize you're probably not going to figure it out and move on. We don't know everything and those who pretend they do are just lying to themselves. I do think heat played a part in this though :)
Would have loved to know if you had 5v at the USB ports before pulling apart. Got one the same no power to usb, wouldn't turn off after turning on normally by holding power down, and did the same thing into safe mode
No worries mate, I do have a board I can use which I'm going to get known good readings for as many components as I can from. I may make a video on it that people can come back to as they need it 😀
I noticed when you was initially going through the voltages, you put the probes on the 2v area, but your meter read 0v, yet you carried on to the next area. Just wondering if you saw the 2v that we didn't onscreen.
Have a PS5 with very similar issues. Had to pass on it because I don't have the equipment if a reball/chipset replacement is needed. Like your diagnostic process.
@@TheCod3r I have reballing equipment, but can't run it out of where I'm living due to power constraints. One day I will buy a nice machine and will do reballing out of a home or something. Until then they're all getting sent off elsewhere lol
Can you tell me how you made the multi meter readings see through in your video at the bottom? I use the same on but mine is outlined in a black box. I would really appreciate it if you can share your secret or what video showed you how to do it. TY Great video BTW.
I just fixed the hdmi on one, when put back together, it had the long pulsing blod. Took it back apart and checked the LM, seemed fine but took a swab to it anyway. Put back together and it was fine. Didn't see anything wrong or different so not sure what the issue was..
I literally have the same issue as this board! Long BLOD and 6 out of 8 mosfets really hot with the SSD’s not lighting up at all. I’ll keep you updated if I find a fix. If I haven’t updated it, I haven’t found one 🤣
One question I have is if the USB plugins receive power or not on that board. I have a long blue pulsing light and I don’t have usb power to the front or back plugs. I know the long light can be anything but wondered if a bad Southbridge would cause this but only if the system won’t turn on.
Hey! I too have a repair business and had the same issue come in. I managed to get the playstation on and working. Sounds silly but what I did was redo the liquid metal and put some pressure on the device, (whilst open) on the bit where the soc chip not sure why but this actually worked (the heat sink attached) I did had to have the playstation flat not standing though. not sure if its any help but worked for me :)
@@TheCod3r did you try with macro lens? I want to buy one because its in my budget, and if a great technician like you use this thermal cam then its pretty sure a good thing to buy for myself
I have like 0 experience on ps… just the random videos on youtube… but i would say: the two missing phases, could they be on only for apu boosting when it’s under heavy load? As for the ssd, i would say to inspect the apu area for liquid metal spills …
That what I would do if I had a ps5. I would put a thermistor sensor microcontroller with lcd. When it gets hot it would shutdown the rgb led would turn red to prevent over heat. Even my ac did that shut down if go to hot from dust builup.
God I wish I could just keep the blue light on permanently. Maybe Sony can issue a firmware update with LED light control. I would prefer to play games with a blue light on instead of a white one.
You're all good mate, it's "southbridge", it's essentially the chip that handles input and output devices on the board such as power for usb ports, ethernet etc
@@TheCod3r True but couldn't a short in the usb halt startup? It just seems odd it started up AFTER it was removed. I dunno, seemed like a path you could follow...or not. lol
@@antagonizerr yeah definitely, it's always possible that ports can be shorted. The reason I don't really check them on the PS5 is because if you do have a short on the USB ports on the PS5, they're connected to the APU directly (or rather the data lines are) so if you do get a short chances are it would put 5v into the APU and fry it. Every time I've seen a dead APU on these it doesn't even attempt to boot. But that said it is an avenue I could potentially explore :)
I have a ps5 with the same fault I can’t get into safe mode or anything it will just constantly pulse the blue light, have you managed to fix it yet? love the work keep it up

I have the same problem .. and who cares if the USB works at that time .. check the voltage in the USB ports ..
They will all be disconnected together,,.. I have not yet understood what is the cause of this problem.. Maybe you can find out

People say "we can't win them all", I disagree. We always win and learn something new. great video mate!
Can't win em all mate, I love your honesty.... very rare these days.
Nice that you put the diagnostic data on the videos nice.
Hi Phil! Thanks for the quality content you provide constantly.
Merry Christmas! 🎄
Thank you, merry Christmas to you too

I'll have to check that out, I did a part ex on this so I have the console myself. I'll have a look in a revisit at some point :)
@@TheCod3r I'll pull mine back out tomorow and compair against your readings if I get a chance beteen jobs

It can be quite tricky without the right equipment but maybe woth time you'll gather up the stuff you need. Just keep at it bud 👍

Merry Christmas pal
Happy xmas have a good rest next few days .Time to relaxing with tge family.
Thanks mate you too! Have a fantastic holiday
you have very clear pronunciation apart from your local twang surprised a electronics company not sought you out yet!.gl
Thank you mate. I've been offered a couple of jobs but I'm better off working for myself really
Merry Christmas have a great one
Hello Phil
I like you for these ideas and because of this, I like your videos before watching
Happy Christmas
GOD bless you
Thanks John, merry Christmas to you too bud
Happy christmas wishes for You and family Phil
Hi. You didn’t get one of the 2v readings when going thru your check. Would that be the problem?
Thanks!
Wow dude you're a legend man, thank you so much ❤️
At least Sony left you something to look at when no longer working a pretty blue light.
If you don't know what's wrong with it who does? Great vid , i never thought id be so fascinated with mending consoles.
Merry Christmas mate
Same to you buddy
Hi! I have a PS5 with this exact same issue. Would you consider doing a parts exchange on the mainboard? Cheers mate!
Merry Christmas 🌲
Same to you buddy
Awesome fix 🙏🏻
Can you tell me how you made the multi meter readings see through in your video at the bottom? I use the same on but mine is outlined in a black box. I would really appreciate it if you can share your secret or what video showed you how to do it. TY Great video BTW.
I just capture my meter software and then use a color key filter to remove the background on OBS mate
@@TheCod3r Thank you very much! I didn’t know you could do that. I’m going to try that out. It looks much better without the background.
2volts didn't appear on your onscreen multimeter display!!
if those bottom two mosfets are dead then the top ones might take the load.
Yeah I may look into replacing those, it could explain why the other 6 are getting hot
I agree I think he was thinking too much
Check the APU for Liquid Metal under the foam
I just fixed the hdmi on one, when put back together, it had the long pulsing blod. Took it back apart and checked the LM, seemed fine but took a swab to it anyway. Put back together and it was fine. Didn't see anything wrong or different so not sure what the issue was..
I checked mate, I just didn't show that in the video because of time limits
Merry Christmas
You too 😀

Should make the led glow red when hot. Maybe it does don't know.
Hi! What thermal camera do you use?
Happy Krimble, Phil!

Could you go into more detail please. I am having the same problem
you had white light when testing voltages
Could you do a rewiev of your thermal camera? Is it good?
I suck at review videos, definitely cringe content lol. But it's not bad, certainly does the job
@@TheCod3r did you try with macro lens? I want to buy one because its in my budget, and if a great technician like you use this thermal cam then its pretty sure a good thing to buy for myself
What would a 4 second one be?
What do you think will last longer ps5 or series x?
series x in general

Did you ever find the fault? What does blue pulsing mean?

At +/- 7:20 min you mention a “safe-bridge”, pardon my ignorance but, what is that? Cheers!

It wouldn’t surprise me if the console has had the power pulled in the middle of an update if it has killed the ssd
Not good airflow I imagine.
I can’t access safe mode it crash in the loading:(
Can you do a video on console banned ps5
notice what happens on the wifi chip for a split second @ 00:33:19
thats just a heat reflection on top of the chip - nothing to worry about.

Hey mate my sons ps5 turns off while he plays games . It works fine while watching Netflix or utube. When it turns off during a game the only way to get it to turn back on is to unplug it and start it back up again. Have you ever seen this problem. He got it on the ps5 release date 2 years ago .
It could just be as simple as overheating to be honest. But if it's not blocked up inside with dust it may have a power supply issue
