Simplest miliohm meter or Kelvin probe/4wire measurement can be made with one resistor and LM317 voltage regulator. For those interested. It costs 1$ and really works like he showed on video. You really can see where is short so easy. I found shorted legs on IC, using this method.
Isolating the fault by doing some diagnostics instead of firing the parts cannon at it is why i enjoy your videos. I notice you approach finding issues using a variety of methods, which is awesome. The suttle humor helps too..😂. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and tricks.
For me it is something new (oscilloscope & ammeter to quickly diagnose a MoBo PS5). Thank you for showing us the capabilities of these measuring equipment and also for the links. Excellent method to find the faulty component (which otherwise, I assume, would have caused us more than one headache). A sincere congratulations. Thank you very much for your kindness and mainly for your time in sharing your knowledge with us. All the best.
Hello ToltecMerc, just wanted to comment on this. This is my woman's account but we share it because she has premium UA-cam hhh, anyway just wanted to say I love those videos it's like Netflex to me i'd be eating and watching for hours one after another... keep it up its good stuff!
Thanks again maistro, nice alternative and safer method for short finding. Im gonna document all ya ps5 vids this weekend. I forget a lot of things with a these console repairs. To many solder fumes😊
It is simply an AmScope trinocular microscope 0.7-4.5 zoom. Very common. The microscope camera is a very cheap 720p HD camera. The camera has no brand name on it. It is very generic. I believe it is the same as Hayear HY-2307.
I recommend using new cap instead of taking out from donor board. Since you have to hot air or desolder the donor part out and put back, plus Sony has such "high failure rate" on those caps, it would shorten the life of this replacement cap onto its new home. Also solder iron on heating ground side and hot air the cap with another hand could minimize the melting time as well as thermal stress on the component. FYI, love the new tech you use.
Hello. Could you always show us the current initial draw in the power supply. In some ways knowing the initial current draw will tell what its the issue by example the coder has a document when he has a list and help to identify with some respectable accuracy the issue
I will have to check the value of one on a donor. They will be available from Mouser or Digi-Key or maybe eBay. Most electronic sellers will have a minimal order though.

Thank you for the very kind words and thank you for joining me on my repair journey. I am having a lot of fun.
I love how you go back and forth to the garage! 😂
Well the garage is where I have more room to take things apart and leave the pieces scattered. The bench is only so big.
Love the content and how much depth you go into to fix these consoles, and the equipment is on another level to what I've seen on other channels.
Thank you! I'm glad you are enjoying. I am having a lot of fun repairing these consoles and I like bringing the viewers along.
Yet again a perfect demonstration of understanding and skill. Great video
Glad you liked it! Thank you!
New method finding the failure,nice video like always.
Thank you very much! I'm glad you liked it!
Good job mate 👏
Thanks for the visit and comment!

I'm not sure if I could listen to me for hours but I'm happy you like the videos. More to come!
Something new to learn. thanks master
You are very welcome!
thanks for the video, love it, greetings from Costa Rica
You are very welcome! Thanks for watching!
shot out from brazil men, you helped me a lot, real thx keep it up always!
I am very happy that I was able to help in some way!

I'm glad you are enjoying! I'm trying to bring more content as time allows.
Thank you for the miliohm meter, I need to buy it as well. Was thinking about it way back and did forget.
The URL for the probes is not working ;).
I just copied and pasted it into a browser window and it worked for me.
@@ToltecMerc weird then, but thak you :)
gracias colega
Thank You!
Unrelated but where did you buy that mat? I love it.

Very good job 👏 👍 👌
Thank you! Cheers!
Hi can i get the microscope combo you use please love the videos

I probably should get some new ones on-hand. They fail so often.
@@ToltecMerccan you give where to buy them ?
Excellent!
Thank you sir!
I wish ToltecMerc was my neighbor! 😂
I am!
Hello.
Could you always show us the current initial draw in the power supply. In some ways knowing the initial current draw will tell what its the issue by example the coder has a document when he has a list and help to identify with some respectable accuracy the issue
I showed it graphically on the scope.
Where to buy those CAPS online if I don’t have a donor board. Thanks in advance
I will have to check the value of one on a donor. They will be available from Mouser or Digi-Key or maybe eBay. Most electronic sellers will have a minimal order though.
How can I send you my ps5 to get worked on
