If only Sony would allow us access to schematics. It's either a small package capacitor, something obscured from sight, or a component that syncs the heat away too efficiently for you to detect it. This can be challenging to find.
Great video! Subbed :) Quick question: Does a PS5 need the little LED status board connected to boot up? Because I acquired a CFI-1116A that had a close encounter with an angry "gamer" and the LED board is missing.
@@GoCellPhoneRepair thanks i started on removing psu as i dont wanna remove the mb plating. The psu read 11.95 But it doesnt light up or blink. Do you think the problem is on board. I was thinking of buying a power supply replacement. But it seems i have to send it i. For a board repair
If you get ~12V with the power supply outside of the console but 0 when it's installed then it sounds like an issue on the board. Possibly a short on the 12 Volt rail.
Power surge, excessive voltage, and physical damage can all cause them to fail. There are always a few out there that may have a manufacturing flaw and over time other factors, like excessive thermal cycling or voltage stress, may cause them to eventually wear out.
Like the fact that you put things back unlike other vids I have seen around UA-cam
I’ve got the same short on a board I’m working on. But nothing is lighting up. Dang!

If I remember correctly, no. That should be just for the LED.
Is it safe to use freezer spray? Do you wick the moisture away with isopropanol afterwards?
It is non-conductive and yes, I wipe up off after testing.
0:52 mr .. if its not showing 12 volts.. that means theres a problem with the power supply right?
Yes.
Very likely. You can confirm by removing the motherboard and see if the PSU is still at 0 volts.

@@GoCellPhoneRepair thanks man i get 12v on power supply itself
does power outrage cause this capacitor failures?

👍 nice
Thank you! Cheers!
Good to see you posting.
