I suck at writing and it gets worse if I want to express the deep inner emotion I feel but I didn't want to pass up the opportunity to congratulate you today. It would be unfair not to recognize your effort to give us quality content and mainly for your time dedicated to this objective. Another way of saying it, what you share with us...cannot be valued for money! All the best.
Great job and I know that feeling Ps5 "why you are doing this to me" LOL. You seem to have encountered that oscillator and the flux under the Southbridge quite a few times.
Yes I encountered the same issue on PS4s several times as well and replaced the South Bridge IC that was perfectly fine because of it. I didn't know what was happening until I saw it start oscillating while I was watching on the oscilloscope and it was drying out.
@@ToltecMerc gray manual vaccum pencil is garbage. the black pen is good for small chips, like ram. the electric vaccum pump pen is the best, pick up the ps5 apu chip without any problems.
I’ve been doing HDMI ports and other jobs on these, but I have one on my workbench right now that turns on for 2 seconds and then shuts off. How do you know what everything is suppose to measure? I can’t find any schematics on the PS5. How do you know what is ground? I’m super lost.
@@RedMissileGaming if you are having a fast shutdown, a meter may not help you. There could be a short but you likely need to pull the error codes from the South Bridge. That should point you in the right direction.
Really enjoy these repairs! I take it you have some sort of background in a related trade / education? I graduated high school in 2005, went to college for computer science in 2007 and went down the software engineering path career wise but the entire time I was in school (and a few years after) I was an arcade repair tech for a living. Over the years I have become very interesting in component level repair and have done quite a few advanced soldering mods to video game consoles like the PS1Digital, XStation, N64Digital and similar. While I know "some" about the component level repair side, I'm not quite good enough to work out on my own what might be wrong with a system I'm not familiar with. I'd rely heavily on videos like yours giving the more likely hints at what could be wrong. I've never done BGA rework either. I have decent soldering gear, but no GBA stuff and nothing like a rework station or board heater. Rolling with just a decent T-12 hakko style soldering setup and a decent hot air station. Anyways, awesome stuff. Love to learn, and seeing this is both a lesson and some entertainment while I eat my lunch. Win win! Thank you!
For those without a preheater heating from underneath the board to remove the SB works also. 420 C at 70 cfm airflow. Just don't hit the components with the wand...lol
You are undoubtedly the PS5 Repair King! Good Work my friend! Cheers!
Wow, thanks!
There is something about your videos, I find them so relaxing to watch any stress just fades away. Thank you again nice fix.
Wow, thank you!

Thanks so much! That's very kind of you!
Again, I wasn’t aware flux could have that effect but you’re right, clocks are very sensitive! Well done.
Another great video, and fantastic fix. Great work my friend!
Thank you! That's very kind of you! I do appreciate it.
On 13:14 the close up of 3 capacitors my board the top one is shorted on the little pad with 4 via holes where does that go?

thanks for job sharing, congratulations for 100th video. skol, prost, chears .. warsteiner :)
Thanks a lot!
always a good example to learn from him. to lift you can use a good manual or vacuum machine, it is much safer than tweezers. 100 up 🎉
I have a small vacuum lifter pen. I don't like it. Maybe I just haven't gotten use to it.

@@RcFixer I will look into that. Sounds helpful!
all hail the king!🙌🏼😀👑
Hmmm. Don't I know you from somewhere?
I’m your biggest fan!!!!
100th! Congrats!
Thanks!! Still going!
Learning and learning thanks
My pleasure

Thank you!
Can you make or do you have a video on how to use the multimeter in a PS5 and where to start testing?

@ how do you get the error codes? UART?

@ you need to join a group. There are several. Try the Facebook group Game Console Repair Legion.
Thank you for sharing !!!
My pleasure!!

Yes very informative. My will atart up after i unplug it but when it goes through the restart process it wont power back up.
Good job mate 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Do you by chance take in ps5 for customer repairs?
No, not normally. This is just a hobby for me.
@@ToltecMerc ah man. I got one and I think that’s the problem with mine. Got a new power supply but it still doesn’t have power.
Happy 💯! 🥳
Thank you!!

Very nice 😮
Thank you!
Yes, finally 100th!
Yep. It took a while!
Have you ever worked on PC Graphics Cards?
No, I have not. Not yet anyway.
Wish I could find someone to repair mine around here. Just paid someone to tell me they can't fix it😢
I have a blown PS5 PS hit by lightning if you want it for a video, bought a new one to install tonight, hoping its the only thing wrong lol
I might take a look at it. You can email me at toltecmerc@gmail.com
