I mean, definitely not the perfect amount of thermal paste, lol. I won't give any spoilers for those that haven't watched it but really enjoyed your video!
Haha thanks Steve, definitely calling you out on the thermal pasta, you've been lying to us 👀 🤣
You and tronicfix are the only guys I watch for this stuff, massive amount of learning..you guys are insanely smart with this stuff , thank you for being such great teachers!! I watch every single video you guys put out :)
@@TheCod3r LOL
@@TheCod3r Yeah the good old argument about sodder instead of solder 🤣
I love these international shipment challenges... great comradery.
love the friendly back and forth between you guys. something only techies will understand... that friendly competition
Yeah, only they would understand. No.
I knew right away Steve meant TheCod3r. Nice!
How great that you two can participate in such a friendly way. The internet works in good ways sometimes....
I was sure ! You were the Guy ! And you'll be the one who repare it
Also shout out to Steve for kick-starting your channel. Really cool to see big creators helping out their smaller counterparts.
Awesome seeing you guys working and helping each other out. Enjoy bot of you guys videos.
Steve sent me here. I'm excited to be a new subscriber to your channel.
Only discovered your channel today.. I'm watching your live now.
Appriciate the content and effort you clearly put into your videos. Informative, clear and easy to understand, you come across really well. Will definitely be using your business if ever in need. Again, appriciate the content 👍🏻
@Matthew Harrup bait*
It would be interesting to know if the short is somewhere in the board or in the APU itself. Maybe you should have removed the APU to check if the short is gone
I thought that, it would make an interesting video to actually find out what the problem is.
problem with that is, you cant remove a large chip like that with a hot air flow gun, and if you do you cant get it back on properly. need more expensive equipment.
@@MElixirDNB not sure what you're talking about , heat gun at 800 will remove everything and properly placed aluminum foil will help keep the heat from the smaller components.
@@MElixirDNB he's already doing reballings...
@@brandonparks770 theres a reason professionals dont use heat guns and use a reflow station specifically for this purpose, so no you should not use a heat gun or a hot airflow rework gun, they are made for small components only. If you want to ruin the lifespan of your silicon go ahead though
I love watching your content. Really entretaining and sometimes I do these little repairs for a hobby, I am a software engineer with no experience in repairing electronics, but I have been watching these kinds of videos for some years and learned lots of stuff. And because of that I managed to get a collection of old retro consoles and ps3 that I bought broken and repaired them myself. Including the infamous NIC TOKEN replacement on the PS3! I have to thank you and all the content creators out there that film their work and explain everything they are doing. Thank you
Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn. Never lose. Nice video. Good job.
Love the videos dude!! The collaboration between you and tronicsfix is heartwarming ☺️
It's wonderful how you all get along. I'm glad I was able to see everyone evolve into what we have today.
I unsubbed one person last week, I won't name him but he retro fitted a backlight connector for a customer and knowingly didn't fit the few other components to get the circut working.
The guy charges a large fixed rate for repairs and it was the final straw for me, greed over pride in work.
I totally agree on the rest of the community though, lots of banter and good will between the youtubers.
@@Jim_M_75 im assuming im subbed to the same person cause i know which vid you mean, is that on him or the customer tho? cause if you ask for 1 thing but actually need more doing to get it to work should the guy go out on a limb and do it or should the customer have been more specific? not picking a side here im just wondering if he should have gone further even tho the work the customer actually asked for was done
@@Desalater2 In this case mate I'm putting it on him not the customer. He charges a set fee, a large one at that. It just seemed a bit nasty to me, just my take. If you could solder smd caps you could change the connector if you get me.
The man is good at what he does but compared to others it's very much about $$ and not so much pride and pleasing if you get me.
@@Jim_M_75 yeah ive noticed in his vids its all about fixing it asap or sending it back saying no fix so i was on the fence about what reasonable level you would expect from them when only asked to do one thing, its got that ring of malicious compliance to it i think
Came here from TronixFix's channel. Hi! 👋 and YES! Its SOLDER :D
Yesterday I tried to switch out a broken thumb controller on an XBox controller. Second time I tried, second time I fail. That’s stuffs hard to do, much respect.
lol
Did you clear the "fuse" before voltage injection? Otherwise it backfeeded the rail and that may caused the mosfets' back-diode to turn on/overheat (and those mosfets shouldn't be the problem as the PSU and the CPU/APU was energized during test /it would shut down, if any mosfet would have been shorted/)
Are you sure those are the parts that serialized/married together? Afaik "only" the ODD-controller, APU, Syscon and Flash(content) are married-- why would it be paired to the SB's RAM?
Have you tried enabling the serial-port and checking the output? (yeah, it's a bit hassle to remove the flash, dump, modify (BwE tool), flash back and solder back)
Do you have any experience in how likely the CxD90042GG SB is failing compared to any other SB?
You sound like someone who knows what they are talking about
@@shreyasrao6515 if they don’t, they are the best slick talker in history. Lol
lol
You should be making videos like this, then. If you're so good like you think you are...
ha i remember that video 2 years ago. Thats why i'm here :) Just so impressed how you fix things that even the best of people would have given up on. Glad you cleaned your desk in this video though! It sends my OCD crazy. I absolutely know your channels going to sky rocket :)
I like the partnership of two of my favorite channels, double the amount of fun.
I'm not much of a techie so I didn't fully understand why Steve replaced the motherboard without even trying to fix it, but this makes it crystal clear. When the problem is this difficult (nearly impossible, I would say) to pinpoint and to fix it you might have to replace almost half the board with pieces from another board to fix it... at that point it totally makes more sense to just use another board entirely. Not worth the hassle. But I commend the attempt! Great video.
And all thanks to legalized vendor-locking and hardware DRM. Not only sourcing those parts directly from manufacturer and screwing around without access to schematic is a major pain but chips are designed to brick themselves if their built-in serial numbers don't match to serial of the unit, to make any replacement impossible.
Cockroach board is better…I almost feel like he purposely cleaned that board to prove his point.
I am a big fan of both of your channels. I only just watched Steve's video on the PS4 500m the other day. Very interesting to see you trying to fix this board. Must admit a lot of it went over my head but the more videos I watch the more I will learn. Keep up the great work.
Knew it would be you mate. Good luck bud. Steve’s a great guy too. 👍🏻
You did a very nice job of diagnosing the issue. I like watching videos like this.
Steve is a legend man, I love both yours and his content. You got mad skills bro.
Came from TronicsFix, nice to find another RUclipsr to binge watch electronic fixes!
Steve is how I found your channel, your amazing at repairing these things. I have a ps4 that has the same issue but I have 2 that do work so I’m not really worried about it.
Bah what a crushing finale! I was all ready to tackle my brother's PS 4 Pro with the same problem and, hopefully, fix it, but, alas, I've had to tell him he has a large paperweight! Gutted!
Great effort! I can see why pulsing blue light is uneconomical for repair shops.
I was wondering who he sent it to, then youtube suggest this video. Neat
Ah well - you can't win them all. I was engrossed and thought you were going to find the issue in one of those MOSFETs as you started to remove them all, but then I checked and noticed that there was less than 2 minutes left in the video, lol. Still, very entertaining and informative!
I knew it was you the one who he sent it 😂. Great video man.
That drop at 3:58 made my heart stop.
Else, good work and nice video.
That bromance is lovely. Keep it up
Oh heck yes this is an amazing collab. Love both your channels y'all rock! LESSS GO!
Been following Tronics for a long time so nice to see you both colab regularly :)
fellow black country lad!!! love to see my man!!
THIS is the video I've been waiting for since Tronics posted his vid.
Come on Phil! I’ve sat and watched you do a full transplant on a ps4 pro 10 hours work! Manual re-balling with your stencils now surely it’s worth the effort to revive this one!
Really fun to watch and as many other viewers say, its really fun to see you guys respect and battles :D
Came here from Tronicsfix with the first crossover and have loved your content ever since. Keep up the great work. I love how you go the extra mile every time.
Subscribed - I love your appreciation for other youtubers!
This is awesome~!
I learned a ton just watching you; even thou the board wasn't fixed, the video is a gem of information.
You got a sub at the start of the video! Looking forward to this!
my favorite part is when he began to stack the boards, so rad
So, I came here from Tronicfix to see what happen of the motherboard. 😁
It’s great that you tried, Keep up the good work, and always put the perfect amount of thermal paste lol😂
still take my hat hat off for you working Christmas day man, so professional and passionate about the customer,no1 guy to go to for a fix and im in the midlands so im not too far.
cool, like when different channels send challenges to each other and do different collaborations
i enjoy watching you both Collab...
sucks that you can't fix it... but it is what it is... looking forward to more collabs with both of you!
I fixed my PS4,thanks 2 u, watching your channel. ⭐⭐⭐
A+ for effort mate, well done!
this guy deserves more likes and more subs. I got here through tronics video.
more power to you mate.
I noticed that postit note on the original TronicsFix video.
When Steve said something about “guessing who this would be going to”, I immediately thought of you.
Plus (and I could be wrong here) but I’m 99.9% sure that same postit note was present in the workspace area on one of your recent videos that I watched recently too?
Cannot wait to watch this later. I think you’ll fix it! 🙂👍🏻
Hahaha yep I've been trying to give subtle clues for a few days now 🤣
Watched his video the other day how did I know he was sending it to you lol
Thanks for still uploading it!!
Was sent by Tronics, and dont regret, good content :)
Subscribed. Thanks Steve showing this channel
Nice, use to work on boards computers and automotive and this brought back so much of the good feelings I got from trying to fix the not so obvious issues. Even called the internal short problem just before you did (yeah still got it). Just subscribed and can't wait to see what else you've videoed and what's to come. Great content.
Awesome, I was hoping it was you again when Steve said he was sending it out.
2:31 - Shots fired! Hahahaha!!!
See, the reason it couldn't be fixed is because Steve used the wrong amount of thermal paste earlier. If he had used the perfect amount, it'd be working right now.
Nah Steve's cool. Travis did it. Curse you, Travis! Not your mum though, she's got it goin' on.
Im here because of the other guys video .. im new watcher for both of you guys ..
I thought he was sending it you! Love how you support each others channel.
Gotcha your self a new subscriber thru TronicsFix. 👍 great video.
Sometimes, I wish a worker fed up with the stuff at the pcb manufacturer for these boards would just release the full schematics or diagram so these can be fixed much easier....
King of solder rework! amazing work!
Both of you guys, (the Coder and tronixfix) i salute you,👌
I believe in you Phil 👍
Cheers 😁
I knew exactly where that board was going....
Man, I don't understand ANY of this, but it's so interesting!!
it's just a pity we don't have repairers like you where l live.
Was totally waiting for this video! Love your work together guys ❤️
I actually remember watching that video 😊
I watch both videos from u and Steve wicked videos
Haha what a great continuation of Steve's video. Awesome
TheCod3r and TronisFix....youtubers that provided me great inspiration to start a hobby on fixing consoles and stuff. Great Video!! Hope we see more of that friendly competition ! It's just Great Content !
Think it was the first video where he sent you the console to fix that brought me to this channel, not looked back since.
I found your channel because of steve! love your vids man
When he just kept pulling out more motherboards...lol! it's funny that he has so many just within arms reach xD
He brought me here... subscribed and thumbed up
New subscriber from TronixFix.... although you only live about 60 miles from me you pronounce the word LONG wrong you say LUNG we say LONG...when i say we i mean the rest of the country lol.....Great video by the way.... And thanks to Steve..
Great try. Love the cooperation on the channel
PlayStation 5 within the settings can have the USB port turned off when the PS5 isn't powered on completely. I forgot if the PS4 had that feature but I believe it does. Maybe the original use like myself switched off power to USB when the device isn't powered on.
FINALLY! Someone who pronounces Solder correctly.
Sole-der...not Saw-der.
😁😁
That rabbit hole was deep!
I love nerds challenging each other. Best way to find solutions to tough issues. Nerds rule.
Been waiting for this ...lets go
You guys must do this more often,iv seen tronix fix many times saying this one is unfixable and in my mind I'll be like the coder can fix that😁😁
I think it's mostly because Steve doesn't have the necessary equipment to do reballing, and doesn't think it's worth the time investment.
@@StormsparkPegasus Even with the knowledge and setup, all of the problem chips are paired which makes this an insane fix. I installed a basic region free mod for my blu ray player, and can't even imagine attempting what was done in this video. It's insanely hard to do this work.
@@ianburkard I don't even own a blu-ray player because of that ridiculous crap. I have a BDROM drive (and burner) in my computer, but I can't actually play Blu-rays natively, because I will not use any sort of proprietary software. But I can easily rip them which is hilarious. I'm not paying for these stupid locked down environments, I'm happy either cracking or pirating stuff.
@@ianburkard Right, but if the problem isn't the CPU itself, but cracked solder balls or something where it's not making a good connection, reballing the chip can fix the issue. That was the issue with the first PS4 Steve sent to him (probably a couple years ago now).
@@StormsparkPegasus Yeah the region locking is so stupid to me, as well as copyright claims on old content that hasn't been digitized and shared. I personally feel that once a two or three year profit window has passed, a film should be viewable to the public... but that would destroy streaming services. -- Taking the data from the disc is a good workaround, but it sucks that you have to do it. For me personally... very easy to get a $12 used blue ray player and a $40 mod... but files last forever. :D
I look at reballing like heart surgery, you wouldn't ask just anyone to do it. :) I don't think Steve is uninterested in it, but it's a very difficult time-consuming skill.
Is there any reason that the chip is installed this way? No pins? Do they need a physically low profile install because the unit is miniature? No, it's to make consumer repair and system cloning impossible...?
Definitely another fix worth watching 😊🎉
Loving challenge moments
I love these challenges you guys should do more! 😂
this dudes are super smart
I fixed my BLOD PS4 with no clean flux and a heatgun... just long enough to do a complete backup. Then I tried to load GTA V and we're all done! BLOD came back. I am actually surprised I got it to boot at all because even the washer fix did nothing.
Ayo i watch on steve. But i see you pop up on my yt recommend video.. You get my subs bro
first time watching one of your videos, pretty cool stuff!
You don't need a splitter to capture on an Elgato, you can turn off HDCP in the ps4 settings 👍🏻
Smart guy you are man. Definitely teaching me some things! Which is what I love about this channel. I’d also love to have some of the equipment you have, truly. One day I’ll get some of the tools.
Some things…just aren’t fixable, no matter what people may like to think…unless you literally re-engineer the whole damn machine you’re working on. I’d still love to know if the short was internal, within the layers of the board. How could you actually go about figuring that out? Literally deconstruct every circuit on the board? I’m guessing so, and at that point, you’re just answering a question, and a fix is out of the question, so I understand why you didn’t go down that route lol.
I just like you and tronicsfix.. i am learning a lot from both of you.. my 2 ninja masters... wlsh you guys meet and had a duo fix it, would that be just awsome or wow 😅..
Love the thumbnail lol just "ARITE BET" lol
You still the man! Sorry Steve!
I been waiting to see this video pop up!!
Thermal wuud! It's mostly called thermal grease, thermal paste or thermal compound 🤗
You need to send Steve at tronicsfix a game console you can't repair and challenge him to repair it lol
Don't give up! Make a second video where you go to the end of the world but finally succeed
