I'm suffering from a broken PS5 due to a lightning strike as well. I've been without a game console for over 2 months now. Tried replacing the PSU but no luck. So I'm very Eager to watch this video! Wish I could find a guy like you around my area.
And I messaged your store regarding potential fix & cost but I never received a reply. Maybe cause I'm in Canada you guys couldn't help or your just too busy lol.
Very interesting what you're saying about LAN cable. It wasn't only my PS5 that blew. Actually, everything connected to my Bell Fibe router blew (My TV, An Nvidia Shield TV box, and my PS5). Nothing else in my home was effected. It's like the router and being connected to decides by LAN cable through my router is what caused the damage..
So basically, replacing the PSU and faulty HDMI port fixed this PS5. Any tips on where to look when the HDMI port isn't the problem and replacing the PSU didn't restore power? Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Tks for another great video.
Your prices are really good. All the repair shops around me are ridiculous. They want 200 plus For HDMI And a $75. Bench fee just to look at it ps5 hdmi is close to 300 Luckily I found a small shop Around me with good prices so I take everything to him.
... Excellent run through the hdmi resistance tests. clever testing routine. Assume using reversed leads tests the protection diodes and looks for blown driver output
Hi, this is my first comment ever on your videos even tho I follow you since the beggining of your videos (that helped me a lot of times btw). Love your work and dedication to. So I have my first ps5 that was hit by lightning strike. I repaired the psu so now it boots in safe mode and white light but no image. I replaced the hdmi encoder and now I have the 5v on hdmi but on pin 13 it says OL, any ideas where should I look? Thank you.
That cat and I have something in common. Also, maybe there would be less PS5 repair videos if less PS5s needed repair. 🤷♂ Although do so many PS5s need repairs because so many more PS5s sell? Maybe compared to Xbox Series X, but Switch sells even more than PS5 and there aren't nearly as many Switches on the bench. 🤔
Same for me. I’m typically quite mechanically sympathetic and usually don’t put enough force into things. I was surprised how easily it scuffed. I’m not bothered by it though. Out of sight, out of mind!
Question, I believe the PS5 paper work states that it be plugged directly into an outlet. To not have anything in between the power circuit. Like an extension cord. But I like to have a little added insurance for my expensive electronics. So is it ok to use a UPS device? "power backup/surge protector".?
Bro you don’t know much about stuff , the lan port always does that at first after software update …ain’t nothing wrong with it , you can’t change from wi fi to lan while updating lol
Thanks for fixing the audio, Phi! 👍

Sorry. My Alexa didn't know what a goggle box was🤣
Mine said “sorry I couldn’t find that in your home”
It turned on my living room lights. I have no idea how 😂

I thought I watched this already and I did.
Thanks for kickin the loud elevator out😊
Far better and more watchable without the music :)
My PS5 has scratches on the console, from the first time taking the panels off due to being really tight.

I own a PC, PS5 and SX..... The FIRST thing i did, was buy a Surge protected UPS, for this very reason.

I bet man signed up for expensive music license just for everyone to hate it 😂

1st off how doe's a PS5 get stuck by lighting?
Did he decide to have the ethernet port fixed?
At the time no, but apparently it's on the way back for the port to be done
@@TheCod3r Awesome, thanks for the quick response.
Please stop saying alexa on the videos it makes them respond here as well.
