My brother did this with his hdmi port 🤦♂️. Broke 5 land pads. It's just difficult because the pads were
Good luck, be patient, it's possible.
@@MKVideoful thanks. I was able to solder wire from each trace to where their pads were and now they're sitting in hardend rosin flux, and in their pads position.
Holy are traces of that size hard to get a good solder to, but I was able to test it on some other junk board's similar-sized traces, and it turned out good and should be a reliable fix with the wires being able to carry enough resistance. New hdmi port is coming in. That will be the easy part though.
I also tested continuity for each wire to the closest part on the board with my needle point multimeter adapter(gator clips and needles), and everything's good and nothing is bridged.👍👍👍
@@davidrivard1252 You might want to clean off all that flux with rubbing alcohol. It'll slowly eat into the circuit board if you don't.
@@Jeff-ss6qt the resin is in place so that when I put the hdmi port on, I can solder nice joints on each pin, then I'll clean it up. The hdmi port is coming pretty soon, so it shouldn't be an issue
just use component.
You are very well versed in electronics, I have learned a lot and for that I thank you.
You are spreading a good msg that don’t increase e-waste…instead repair stuff and make everything long last. Reduce Reuse and Recycle! Good job mate!
Most ps5s are still under warranty. Trying to repair warranty products is wasteful as the manufacturer can recover those parts nore reliably than you can repair it.
@@heh_boaner I don't agree with it. And for your information the PS5 shown in this video is not under warranty. On top of that I have seen manufacturers swapping whole part (like motherboard) instead of one problematic segment, and then recycling it just for a small defect. That whole process is absolutely unnecessary if seen from an environmentalist point of view.
As many times I have watched you fix things it never gets old....love what you do. Even when your not able to fix them.
Love these videos!

This fix is talent. Soldering anyone can do with practice but this wiring is simple to get it working but not simple to do IMO.
Dude this is incredible - I wish I knew electronics so well
You rule man
that would explain why its yelling at you also props for wearing mmv merch
Love the My Mate Vince shirt!
I've replaced about a half dozen of these fan connectors just like this. These surface mount connectors are not very durable and will very easily rip the pads right off the PCB. Through-hole for life!
Would you say this is an easy repair? I might have to buy my own soldering gear on Amazon and give it a go. The video made it look simple
@@arturoperez3826 it's probably not something I'd recommend for a first timer, as the PCB is a bit thick with multiple layers and sucks up a lot of heat before solder will even melt, so a lot of care needs to be taken to not melt the connector or other plastic components and also if there is any damaged traces, it becomes a little (or potentially a lot) more difficult. But it's definitely more friendly to replace than any of the ICs, so it could be worth trying, though if you do more damage in the process, it could cost even more to repair the results. You'll have to weigh the benefits vs the risks. Also I'd recommend practicing on some e-waste first just so you can get used to soldering on thick multi-layered pcbs.
@@bjn714 that was very helpful, thank you! I got a quote from a place saying the repair would be $250 and that seems like way too much for this work (which if you know how to solder looks very simple and fast). Half the price of my PS5 is crazy. Another guy quoted me for $130 which is more reasonable but still very pricing in my not so well known knowledge of soldering.
@@arturoperez3826 the disassembly and reassembly of the system would generally be included in this price, which is where most of the damage done by consumers tends to occur-attempting to open the system. That also takes time, which isn't free. The $130 quote is pretty close to what I'd charge for such a repair, including disassembly and reassembly, assuming no pads were ripped off. If I was just being asked to replace the connector and am being provided with an already disassembled motherboard, I'd probably charge about $60 (again assuming the solder pads were intact enough to solder to), but that also comes with an "as-is" warranty disclaimer, since I wouldn't be the one who put the system back together, where further damage could occur.
It would definitely be cheaper to do yourself but that's also where 99% of these repair videos end up coming from-someone with no experience who thought it looked simple enough, tried, and failed to do it themselves and then ended up just selling it for cheap on ebay to recoup at least some of the value. That's why I mentioned if you really want to try it, I'd find some e-waste you can practice on first, since you don't want the very first thing you try to solder to be your PS5.
@@bjn714 thank you man, you’ve been very helpful and explained everything well which I appreciate it!
Yeah I was thinking something like $50-60 would be fair because I know how to take it apart and reassemble it myself cuz I’ve done it a few times, the only issue is just that the fan connector is loose so the connection isn’t stable. If I put force in the connection and have all the pins touching, the fan works, it’s just about holding it in place where I believe just soldering it down to establish the stable connection would be enough. That’s why those prices given to me was a bit baffling to me but it made a bit more sense since you mentions the disassembly and reassembly part.
Your suggestion on practicing on ewaste is very helpful and maybe something I will try if I can’t find a place with a decent price, in the meantime I still have my PS4 Pro but the downgrade is very noticeable coming from a PS5 😅
I love your videos man,
I hope next time you will fix printers
Printer suck I hate fixing printers
I understand how some issues occur but other times I'm just like how the heck did somebody break it in that specific way. Seriously how do you rip that connector off the board without purposely trying to?
I don't get it. My Xbox series x hasn't moved from the place I put it when I bought it. Tf they playing football with these systems?!
@@BreakHarpe you never know haha
That specific fan connector comes off crazy easily. The surface mounted fan header is just a headache. I'm a former PC repair technician, and about a month ago I accidentally pulled my PS5 fan header off the board just trying to carefully unplug it. It really shouldn't break off as easily as it did, that's definitely a flaw they could easily be remedied in future models if they wanted.
@@CptnLynxhow can I avoid this. I normally clean off my fan but now I’m scared this could happen to me
I love these types of repairs. Blatantly obvious issue, but at the same time I hate laying pads lmfao
Wow. Do you do repairs for the public or is this your hobby for
RUclips views? You would be a treasure in the Philadelphia/suburban areas.

Me and my friends have all been getting overheating problems on old and new PS5‘s. After taking it apart we all discovered the same thing: the liquid metal was completely uneven. After respreading it the PS5 was back to normal, even after intense performance testing the cooler was as quiet as on day 1.
For MOST of you guys, you do not need to clean your ps5 if it’s visually clean (no signs of dust accumulation). You also do not need any external products. The PS5 is easily capable of running high-end games on maximum graphics but the LIQUID METAL FLAW is significant.
Legal action needs to be taken since we are very sure this is the main problem for all the overheating issues. Sony did answer but they do not care and offered a $300 repair after sending them the pictures.
Surprise surprise the liquid metal is going to pool at the bottom of the apu socket and leave a bald spot at the top and overheat
😭😭😭I accidentally pulled too hard when I was trying to disconnect the fan while cleaning & did the same thing. Hopefully, I can repair it as good as u.😢
finally an legit tech channel
It’s crazy how long a ps4 can last compared to a ps5. Never had any issues with the old generation consoles, besides with simple maintenance.
the three beeps gives me flashbacks of my ps3. even after replacing the thermal paste and clearing the vents, it still overheats when i load in a game.
You sir are a total genius! 👏👏👏
Hey ! sorry to bother but what is the name of the grinding pen you are using ?
It looks like he's using a Dremel with a thin, pointed sanding tip. Dremels come in various models for different types of applications; They aren't too pricey either!
What do I do if it’s not doing the three beeps. My console will sometimes just completely shut off. Almost like the power goes out. No beep, no warning just instant black screen and PlayStation shut off. I think I have the first gen ps5 that came out in the first initial wave, and I’ve heard that the parts on those aren’t that great. I’ve tried cleaning the ps5, but haven’t got a t5 screwdriver to take off the fan protectors port. Not sure what to do
Funny how in other video people would usually go "safety has left the chat"
Either way, this is fantastic.
QC issue..samething happened to mine when I was cleaning it (im a hardware engineer in datacenters) the hot aisle is no joke when those jbods and servers are cranking
Looks like Sony needs to work on it's quality control.
It’s not even Sony it’s just people not taking care of their stuff
@@glenn8368 No actually it’s Sony it’s a known fact that they used different parts on all of their Playstation 5 consoles just to get them out the door and make money off people.
@@stewiegriffin8555 👌
@@stewiegriffin8555if you remove the words "Sony" and "playstation 5" you will describe every company that has ever existed
@@stewiegriffin8555that's only really true for the fans.
I don't have the console yet, but I'm definitely gonna be careful and take very good care of something very expensive, controllers and all.
Is this a faulty PlayStation or are the owners responsible?
I don't see how the fan could get removed without it being treated very poorly or the problem was on Sony's end
I wish i could learn this
but.. you can bro 😂
How can I learn
Any guide
What? This video can help, along with stuff related to this. You saying this ain't helpful? Because this guy knows how to help us be respectful to our stuff.
I just did this trying to clean my PS5 I don’t know why Sony jams that connection in knowing you need to clean system out. Luckily I still have the two difficult traces in place only need to run one copper strand and pads
I just seen a video with a soldering iron with 2 sides that squeeze together and they could heat and pick up a fuse and place it right where they wanted just using the iron
Yaaay! Fanspin! - Louis Rossmann (probably)
You scared the hell out of me I thought mine overheated again 😭
Tysm i found out the problem now this was happening to me
Love that shirt
I soldered mine before watching this video but I extended wires to the fan. I could Not put the piece back on the board but the fan did not work. Do the lateral connectors do something? Because the fan only has 3 wires I figured the side ones didn’t do anything just support it in place
Do you teach how to make new mounting pins to solder a replacement part?
Impressive, how it broke, and how well you fixed it
This is so cool, I wish I could do this
I recently opened my ps5 to clean it because it was overheating, now the fan tries to starts but dies immediately, it does this until it shuts off from overheating, what could be the cause? I’m not sure if I touched something but I just followed the cleaning steps tronicsfix’s video clean of ps5. Pls help thanks.
What about a ps5 that randomly shut off, now it only make the power noise when power is pressed and no lights and no signal from hdmi
God behind you
Thanks for making me break my ps4 pro when I listened to you when you said use pliers and I ripped off the cable when all I had to do was pull gently and the power cable easily came out
He's a genius!
Hi there! Wanted to know if there is any warranty for the products you resell?
Your the man
Is that because of the previous owner, or was that a flaw from the manufacturer?
Maybe yo should add some Araldite? Helps to fix the conn
MY MATE VINCE
How did the connector even snap off? Did the owner like throw his PS5 out a window?
Why haven’t I seen you use lead when soldering?
What does it mean if my ps5 randomly turns off without beeps?
And it doesn’t turn back on unless I reset the power to it. It does feel quite warm at the bottom when it happens, but I only cleaned it out a few months back.
Seems a little unnecessary to scrape up the board like that. If it's just about securing it, wouldn't some quick drying glue be adequate?
Are you saying you know better than the repair man?
How often does this happen? I have mive Horizontal since day 1 and it has all the airflow a console could wish for.
My ps5 just turns off when im playing. Doesn't make the three beeps. I have to unplug it to be able to turn it back on. I have cleaned it. Even took the fan out and cleaned that
How did you fixed it?
@donofficial7601 are you doing a beta software update? I'm jw if it's that. Because it started doing it again. Last time I cleared the cache and rebuilt deta base and it stopped. But I don't remember if the beta software update was over or not. Could even be that.
Bro you're a monster
Now I know why they are not fan of connectors just soldered directly on pcb board
I dream of doing what you're doing. Where do I start? I know everything you do, but idk where you get you fixable items.
Go to garage sales or thrift stores and find stuff that is untested or not working. Even if it's not a console that you want to learn about, it would be good to get experience safely removing and replacing chips, practicing soldering, and spotting anything amiss. If its a popular piece of tech that you are working with, you could probably find tutorials for specific problems, too.
With that knowledge, you could comfortably buy something you are really interested in fixing and be confident that you can do it.
I broke my ps5 a month ago and I send it in to get fixed still haven’t been called in to go pick it up still waiting on “parts”
My ps5 keeps freezing and resting. I have tried everything, but it is still the same. What should I do?
so i had the piece right beside the fan connecter going to the disc drive pull right out what kind of solder do you use to fix them
What if instead of me buying a brand new ps5, I buy a broken one and have you fix it?
WWWWWWWHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTT??????!!!!! YOU JOINED THE MY MATE VINCE???!!!!!
I have the same issue with my ps4 but can't figure out the problem the fan spins but idk what the problem is
Ive had my ps4 slim for basically 10 uears now i had it when i was 7 and just got a ps5 disc slim 3 days ago how does this happen?
Diggin the shirt :)
dammmm, he actually fixed motherboard instead of just replacing it fully xD
Would I be able to send in my PS5 to be repaired?
It won't turn on when I press the button but it does beep like when I try to turn it on
My ps5 would always over heat but I never got three beeps or my cooling fan popping out
Would love to learn how to do All that he does
What electronic cleaner do you use again
If u buy a $30-$40 electric duster they're like 100x stronger than canned air duster and u never have to buy it again
How would that even happen, without someone intentionally ripping that connector off?
/makes you wonder how it happened.
What would typically cause this to happen?
When you try to clean the fans, or remove them and not pulling the white part of the connector, but the yellow one, which is soldered on the Motherboard. Can't think of much else.
Fall
Somebody yanking on the wires in some form, likely not straight up but who knows.
@Tronicsfix
I need your help. I just got my playstation from a shop and they showed that my cpu had a dry spot and literally left a mark on it. Only had it within a year and says that was the main cause of the overheating and when he tested playing The Finals, it would immediately go into overheat. Other games are fine. What do I do?
Bro, you need a soldering class asap
My laptop has thé same Problem, its been like that for almost a year now, can you fix it for me please?
My ps5 keeps overheating I’ve opened it never took the fan out and cleaned it there was barely any dust yet still it keeps overheating when I try to play sports games specifically why does this happen?
I never get this message it’s just ability down, does anyone know why? It happens mostly while playing Destiny 2 and most oft the time in specific activities
You didn't try to find the actual cause. How can fan connector be torn???
Could you please fix mine. I’m super lost with this. 🤦🏾♂️
How does this even happen? How did the connector break off in the first place?
Mine overheats when I play ps5 games do u know how to fix it?

Yea buddy ima need that contact info I got like 4 controller that need a bit of love and since the world can see you know what you’re doing ima need that info asap
Perfect loop
Please go you could repair my PS5 has that same problem and they tried to repair it but they didn't get it, I can send it to you
its kinda funny because i actually watched the full video to this
What if the ps5 just turns off no noise or anything mid game
Hey I have a ps4 bran new and won't play disc games do u kno y? Plz 🙏 🙏

What will you do after you fix ps1 ps2 ps3 ps4 ps5
Arnt theses garbages usually made to be dump and replaced ?
Nice fix fan ps5!
Man I just turn my ps5 on and saw my fan isnt working. Guess this is tha main reason why its overheating. Idk if could diy this without any equipment
