That is awesome! I have seven PS5 motherboards have shorts and I cannot find it. It’s driving me crazy. Your videos really help me a lot trying to figure it out. Thank you!!!
Sorry for all your pain and suffering on this one. It's amazing how 1 tool can make all the difference. Great Repair and Video. Have a Great Move! Thank You.
I'm glad you found your way out of of this rabbit hole, Having a Thermal Camera is an asset when troubleshooting shorted components. Well done my friend! I'm looking forward to your next fix video which may be a while, at least until you get unpacked and setup up a work bench. ttyl. Cheers!
I believe you have injected voltage into the ground side of the cap instead of the 3.3v side at 14:27 , otherwise you should find that short cap instantly without removing wifi module
Nice one m8. Thought you would have used the millivolt trick you showed some videos back, to try detect the short. Thermal cams are indeed invaluable tools.
I enjoyed it all the way. It was very fun* and educational at the same time. Thank you very much for sharing. Device solved. All the best. (*) PS: (10:05 - 10:07) So, the "guilty" component should be shown by raising his hand as in a classroom roll call? lol ... Well, how can you not agree with that? Sir: Please transport carefully, that is, your person first, in your own car, and then the other, that is, take your time because we want you back.
We had not long time ago EDM-020 with many faults. First of course F7002 blown, next A2 IC behind it was shining under thermal camera. Once removed, WiFi module started giving a heat. Once replaced with 0.76mm balls from a 2nd PS5, we had no sure, but one more fuse with 0603 cap 22uF or 47uF as well. Only by replacing all of it, the console went back to life. I did an explanation video, but not from repair. P.s: one Polish youtuber and SteveBe told that 0.76mm are fine. But that Polish guy on his superb microscope was showing the size of 0.96mm I think those balls for the WiFi.
I have used 0.76mm and also (2) 0.6mm balls on the WIFI. On this repair, I used two 0.55mm balls as my others were in storage. It worked just fine. Thanks for watching!
@@ToltecMerc Thank you for a prompt reply. No harm in watching, always a pleasure, but it's a shame that sometimes I have to skip to watch it. I'd need 2nd life to have enough time for watching though :D.
Watching you do needless things after needless things was an odd experience. I was wondering if you had done this work before. Now I learned not every repair tech has the same approach. Some times 3 right turns equal a left turn.
I have the same issue but board 020 in the 1.80 V rail. my mistake was I use a new thermal cam that didnot work well as my other one instead of double check with both, I confident 100% in my new one, big mistake. that show me the WIFI IC I removed it cause it was getting hot but it wasnt the culprit it was a big cap in the 1.8V nearby the SB and that line is under 200ohms and my meter show me short too in continuity mode another mistake cause was a bad reading cause was hot yet. what solder ball do you use for that WIFI IC?
I think they used some low quality ceramic caps. It could just be a bad batch but it happens so often. I wonder if they will change suppliers after so many failures. Probably not. Sony wants to make these as cheaply as possible.
That’s why you have a thermal cam, saves a lot of time. Nice job as always
Very true!
Reballing the wifi chip with 2balls, without a stencil, you are Master.
Thanks! Just working with what I had on hand.
We are not watching a casual repair, we are watching a thrill story of resurrection ladies and gentlemen.
Thank you!

It would have made life much easier. I need to stop working on consoles until after the move but I can't seem to help myself.

You are absolutely right! I did not even notice that!
@@ToltecMerc haha, I thought you would notice that after you removed the step-down ic but you moved on the hardest way
Another great repair! Kudos sir!
Thank you kindly!
Nice one m8. Thought you would have used the millivolt trick you showed some videos back, to try detect the short. Thermal cams are indeed invaluable tools.
I didn't think about the milli-ohmmeter. I should dig that out.
Another great video 😊👍
Thanks for sharing your knolage.
Greetings from Portugal 🇵🇹
Thanks for watching! Greeting to you and I wish you success in your repairs as well!
And that is why I bought a mobile phone with thermal camera built in😅 Great video as always, interesting and educational. Thx!!
I am in the market for a new thermal camera myself.
Another great repair video! Always love watching your fault finding techniques. Can I ask what hot air station you're using?
Thanks! It's a Quick 861DW. I have the 120V version.

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed!
great repair again, and 10 K olmost there
Thank You! It's getting close. I'm looking forward to it!
Moving sucks. I hope we will see your new place in the next video.
Yep. It will be late May before I am settled in my new place.
‘Never pack the thermal camera’ ;) How boring the world would be without capacitors… 😂
Everything went into a box. I still have tools in a box somewhere. PS5 caps are a lot worse than PS4 caps.
Nice one again. btw what camera do you use for overhead shot?
Mokose C100
Wow 👌 excellent 👏 excellent 👏 it's amazing how you do it 😊 master of the master 🙌 😻😻😻💪
Thank you so much 😀

I used two 0.55mm. Sometimes I use 1 0.76mm or two 0.60mm.
Thank you for your informative videos. Would you try microscope from the first the videos, so, we can see better which locations are tested.
I will try to show the microscope when probing. Thanks for watching!
Awesome Master!👍
Loved it. Thanks...
Great! You are quite welcome!
I’m always wondering why specifically the same caps fail, aren’t those caps just filtering caps? Why would they fail?
I think they used some low quality ceramic caps. It could just be a bad batch but it happens so often. I wonder if they will change suppliers after so many failures. Probably not. Sony wants to make these as cheaply as possible.
Good job mate 👍
Hi master, this board is edm-030 I have the same behavior and I check the same output converter I get a short.
This output go to the wifi module???
Nice fix. I would have soldered the wire for the injection on the other side of the cap. :)
I like to test ground thoroughly.😁
Another great repair, why using 2 balls instead of one.
I normally use 1 x 0.76mm balls or 2 x 0.60mm balls. My other solder balls were in storage. I used 2 x 0.55mm because I had them on hand.
Oh that's why 😊
had you injected the voltage to the correct point (instead of injecting it to the grounded point) you could have detected the heated cap early on
Absolutely correct! Someone already pointed that out. My mistake!
It would be easier with a thermal camera, but...well done! 😎👌👍🏻
Very true. Mine is in storage. I need to look for a newer/better one.
@@ToltecMerc I'm looking at my first one and I think it will be InfiRay P2 Pro, just wondering which version IOS or Android.
Nice job
Thanks!
I think the ps4 have a lot less caps shorting out than these ps5; or maybe I'm wrong.
True. Shorted caps were very rare on the PS4. I feel like the PS5 is using a lot of lower quality components including RAM.
👏🏽😊
Thank you Sarah!

🧑🏼⚕️🧑🏼⚕️🧑🏼⚕️🧑🏼⚕️
Thanks!
If only i could send my ps5 to you😢😢😢
Sony said they can’t fix it because it is not a US or Canada model and When i look up the sku it’s not on the list CFI-1000A
Gonna try to use this video to fix myself
un poco mas dejas la placa sin capacitor ni ics 😂
