This is undoubtedly the BEST non-repair I've seen so far in any channel.... The expertise to bring a (exploded) board back from the dead was outstanding. I just hope i can be one day half of the technician you are.... Nice video!
Wow, I didn't think there was any chance of it working again, but you did it! Someone ordered extra crispy. An Excellent repair attempt, and Video Sir! At least you have a great donor board now. Thank You. 😀
You gave it one hell of a shot! At least you were able to get something that so that far gone and made it work again. Even though it wouldn’t have been good to sell it to someone even if it did run non stop for a month, you still got it to work. That was by far the best repair I’ve seen anyone do, even though it ended badly. You’re a rockstar!
Interesting repair. My favorite youtuber is back again. Thanks to your videos I fixed my first 2 PS5 hdmi port repalcement this week. I have an EDM10 also, but my short is on the 1V coils. My 12V rail is fine. I don't know if any of the mosfets or a cap is short. I have the short on all the coils on both sides of the board near to the main 12V coil. I hope my apu isn't short because the usb ports were physically damaged but are not shorted when I test with meter. Where can I inject voltage to see if the mosfets, cap or apu is gone?
You can expect to measure about 0.2 ohm on the 6-phase rail and about 4 ohm on the 2-phase rail. If that is close to what you measure, your problem is elsewhere.
Amazing video again. To even get it up and running for a short time was unreal. If you don’t mind me asking, what is your background in repair? How did you get into this?
I am an electronic technician but my day job does not give much opportunity for electronic repair. I do enjoy trouble-shooting electronics. I started looking for a way I could enjoy electronic repair and maybe not lose money at it. There are a lot of broken electronic items available.
Man. When I saw that black hole, the word donor board kept being repeated in my mind. But you actually fixed it! That looked super frustrating and stressful m8. Ligit Rollercoaster 😅. Can't win them all unfortunately, good try, I leard somethings!
Nice repair! I love to watch how techs repair charred PCB issues as well as cracked GPU PCB Hooks (from overweight video cards). There is a fella who has a channel called Northwestrepair that does these kind repairs, you might find it interesting. Once again... Well done.
Resuscitation was a partial success and sadly she is probably dead for good. Mind you, some of her parts would survive on other boards as donor parts. Brilliant work and amazing effort. This one caught my attention, as I have worked with similar explosions LOL.
@@ToltecMerc Hello, one question/idea. Why you didnt cured it with uv resin before turning on? Maybe carbon started conducting once board was heated, if it was soaked in insulation, maybe it wouldnt conduct/short for 2nd time. What you think? I see this attempt to turn on, as trying to run with a fresh wound.
@@orion310591RS I did cure it with UV. I didn’t show it. I had to edit a lot. Several hours of video recorded. There was simply too much charring down in the hole. The hole was directly under the DrMOS.
Great video, I pressed the like button before watching it and I don't regret it despite the sad ending this story had. I wonder if when you say, "I will get the replacement from a donor," you had the donor's written consent before doing so. 😂
(3:28) This MoBo received a .50 caliber "barret" shot in the side and although it was in the hands of one of the best surgeons; The "wound" was too deep. Despite the excellent suturing and healing work...requiem. Of course it's educational. I didn't know about that important IC on this PCB, although the manufacturer Infineon DOES (mainly in SMPS for TVs and DVD players). Thank you very much for sharing (soldering technical skill and electronic component part numbers). Another way of saying it, with you sir we always learn something, regardless of the final result. All the best.
I'm afraid it has burned between the layers. I might be able to remove more and get it to work again but I don't believe it would ever be reliable enough to sell.
Toltecmerc. I am really digging your videos. Very entertaining and helpful. I was wondering if you could make videos with Xbox series x and s. I think you could do some great work with them
Thank you! I have repaired a few XBox One S. I do try to make money on my repairs so I end up repairing whatever is in demand at the time. That seems to be the PS5 right now. That could always change.
That was some great repair you did in that destroyed area of the board, i enjoy watching your vids over the COD3R and hes a great tech also but your better, its hard for me to listen to his mouth,
I believe the DrMOS IC failed. The component carries a lot of current so it is stressed quite a bit. If there are any weaknesses to the component it will fail. Sometimes they fail from input to output and sometimes input to ground.
I have worked on MacBooks in the past. I just find that I enjoy working on gaming consoles and I can make money doing it. It's very satisfying to have a hobby you enjoy and make a bit of money while you do it.
Old handhelds are a great way to start. Minimal investment and there are usually lots of parts and information available as people have figured out the normal failures in them. Best of luck in your repairs and makes some videos!
@@ToltecMerc yea fixed few here and there with iPhones when kids damage them probably changed every part of iPhone from 6s up to 11 now think fault finding be hardest thing get used to but got none working nes to and fancy megadrive body change out so take it slow hope don’t damage to much🤪
Great video as usual. Your mistake was that you didn’t clean the spot properly at the first timed therefore it happened again ( you should use more propriate tool for this like dremel etc with high speed, otherwise you’ll have it again, knife is bad for this situation. Good luck.
@@ToltecMerc I did that kind of restoration on laptops and no one get back to me with the same problem again. Chemistry is a stubborn thing 😋 Hope to see your next vid with successful restoration 😉
The board is charred between the layers. The charring is conductive and thus giving the 12V short to ground. I may yet revisit that board and try to dig out more charring. I will need to the fill the board with some epoxy to give some strength to that area of the board but it's possible.
@@ToltecMerc you didn't know about the death until it happened, so even just for fun ;). Or, this actually is more like a Frankenstein :D. It's back from dead.
You need a good drilling kit. I've seen northwestrepair fix cracked and burned board five to six layers deep, and he uses several types of drill bit. I believe you didn't clear all the charcoal and that killed it.😵🪦💀 Great video though.👍🏻👍🏻
This is undoubtedly the BEST non-repair I've seen so far in any channel.... The expertise to bring a (exploded) board back from the dead was outstanding. I just hope i can be one day half of the technician you are.... Nice video!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. That makes it worth the effort!
he repaired even worse boards
Sad but True, Amazing work.
Thank you so much!
Just to see it run one last time was a miracle in itself. RIP PCB. Awesome work and video!
It was a fun ride and a learning experience. Thank you for the visit!
Wow, I didn't think there was any chance of it working again, but you did it! Someone ordered extra crispy. An Excellent repair attempt, and Video Sir! At least you have a great donor board now. Thank You. 😀
Yep, donor indeed. Although I may go back and dig in that hole again.
😁

Another amazing work, I knew it that ps5 will be not repaired , the board is heavy damaged!
Probably the worst damage I've seen on a PS5.
Sadly can’t win them all but to be fair it was a big ask awesome video and thanks for another
It was in a sad state but I gave it a try. Thanks for watching!
great one nice video to watch again en very help full 🧐
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed!

It felt good to at least revive it temporarily but I have so many other items to repair. Thanks for watching. More to come!
That was just art for a repair…. Soooo close to 10k too 😊
Thank you! We are inching closer to 10K. UA-cam only sends an email now but I will probably frame it.
You went soo much further than I would have lol.
I would have saw that burn several layers deep and been like ...nope!
I know. I probably went too far! Somethings are better off left dead.
Nice repair! I love to watch how techs repair charred PCB issues as well as cracked GPU PCB Hooks (from overweight video cards). There is a fella who has a channel called Northwestrepair that does these kind repairs, you might find it interesting. Once again... Well done.
I have watched some of Northwestrepair videos. He does amazing work on graphic cards.
Resuscitation was a partial success and sadly she is probably dead for good. Mind you, some of her parts would survive on other boards as donor parts. Brilliant work and amazing effort. This one caught my attention, as I have worked with similar explosions LOL.
She will become an organ donor and now I know most of the parts are good!
you win some and lose some, but this was not a waste of time, it made for good viewing, and was informative to us viewers
Well I'm glad you enjoyed. Thanks!
Regardless of the return of the short/charring fault, I still say you're a sorcerer even so for reviving it in the first place :)
Thank you very much! I had to try!
Absolutely amazing work. With all those layers being burnt to hell. To even get it to run.
It was good to see it run if only briefly. Thanks for the visit!

I tried but sometimes you have to move on. Thanks for watching and commenting!
It was educational and interesting repair attempt. Thanks for sharing
You are quite welcome!
Great work. I have a ps5 with a similar issue. Definitely going to check that regulator
That was my first time encountering that regulator and now I know what it feeds. At least we learned something! Thanks for watching and commenting.
Great video, I pressed the like button before watching it and I don't regret it despite the sad ending this story had.
I wonder if when you say, "I will get the replacement from a donor," you had the donor's written consent before doing so. 😂
Of course. I always get consent from donors!
As soon as I saw the damage I thought its going to end up as a parts board. But good on you for trying. Good video.
It was really bad but it came back briefly.

Got yourself a parts board at least, still valuable. Great vid as always.
True. Lots of good parts there.
Greetings from New Jersey, you are a good technician🧑🏻🔧, I really like your well done work ✅️ 👍🏻⚡️
Thank you! That's very kind of you! Thanks for stopping by!
great job Sir!
Thank you!
Man awesome job!
I'm glad you enjoyed! Thanks for stopping by!
good work sometimes it happens that we hope that everything will be ok, but not always with a happy ending
Sometimes you have to quit and move on. I have lots of devices to repair.
@@ToltecMerc exactly as you say, that's what I do
Charcoal is conductive. So you have to get rid of any back stuff you see.. Just remove more. You are almost there❤
I'm afraid it has burned between the layers. I might be able to remove more and get it to work again but I don't believe it would ever be reliable enough to sell.
hey well done on this epic battle

Thank you. I appreciate that. I'm trying to bring more content but time is an issue for me at the moment.
Grest effort
Thanks Steve!
Quite probably the ApU suffered some damage, when first issue happened. Great work anyway.
Maybe. I think I could dig out the burnt fiberglass even more and it would work again for a little while.
@@ToltecMerc I agree.
great video can i ask you a question what actually caused the problem for it to burn like that on that ps5
I believe the DrMOS IC failed. The component carries a lot of current so it is stressed quite a bit. If there are any weaknesses to the component it will fail. Sometimes they fail from input to output and sometimes input to ground.
Another very interesting repair attempt, feel free to 'let it go' to me, i'll dig and dig and dig :)
Thank You!
Hi i have wanted t ask for a while is there a reason why you focus on repairing games consoles
(not a complaint just a curious fan)
I have worked on MacBooks in the past. I just find that I enjoy working on gaming consoles and I can make money doing it. It's very satisfying to have a hobby you enjoy and make a bit of money while you do it.
Hi ToltecMerc, do you have a way to contact you regarding a question about an EDM-033 board?
Hello. toltecmerc@gmail.com
Great . How much did you pay for this PS5 ?
$235.40
@@ToltecMerc Man that sucks. Sometimes you're buying a PS5 and other times you're buying a door stopper.
@@rory9174 very true. It’s not all easy repairs and profit. I hope people understand that.

Hello, I am having Ram issues with ps 5 model (1216)edm 033 . Any fix?
If you believe it's RAM you need to pull the error codes to identify which IC and it will need to be replaced.
So finally, problem between the layers? That's really unsolvable, unless you have the schematic, to check more deeply and fly a line to solve it....
The board is charred between the layers. The charring is conductive and thus giving the 12V short to ground. I may yet revisit that board and try to dig out more charring. I will need to the fill the board with some epoxy to give some strength to that area of the board but it's possible.
You should say to her " you can call me daddy" when she woke up :D. Just saying :D.
True but then she died so....
@@ToltecMerc you didn't know about the death until it happened, so even just for fun ;).
Or, this actually is more like a Frankenstein :D. It's back from dead.
what microscope you using i kind like it what brand. thank you
It is an Amscope, not sure of the model. The camera is a cheap Chinese no-name camera.
@@ToltecMerci have same camera cheap one too they do the job for the price thank you for getting back.
daaaaaammmmm your good at least you got it on
Thank you! It was a fun ride white it lasted but I'm afraid it was never going to work reliably.
Ah, you give up too easily... (just kidding) Thanks for the content!
That was about a week of my life between work hours. Maybe the next one will be a happy ending!
Good job mate
Thank you very much!
Amazing work, too bad it doesn’t work.
Thanks! Not everything can be repaired or should be repaired. Sometimes you have to walk away.
I think you needed a dentist to fill that hole.
Yep. It does go all the way thought the board. What a mess!
Nasty fault!! Forest one ive seen burn the board like that! No bringing that one back.. good try though!
It was probably the nastiest burn I've seen on a PS5. That supply is capable of 12V at 31A and there is no fuse to stop the burn.
What do you guess caused it to burn up again? The repair was solid but it looked like it moved even closer to the mosfets
