Nice work as always Stetofix. Keep up the great work buddy! "Cheers!"

[@stetofix]

Thank you. :)

So many PS5 repair videos I’ve seen lately have cracked corners on the APUs 🧐

[@stetofix]

Very true. Beside the new modell, where the the heatsink is poorly glued to the holding bracket, which causes a very nice lever to press uneven on the APU top, if become loose, I'm wondering what is the cause at the older modells, where in my experience the heatsink shows no noticeable movement.

This is a second time school, we always learn something new, good luck with the next fix.

[@stetofix]

Thank you. That's what I like about repairing, building knowledge around devices, defects and different ways to analyse and ways to fix things. As Louis always says: '... I hope you (we) learned something today...' (even if it is not a fix. We learned more about the case for the next one. ;))

Hi 👋
Ein lehrreiches Video. Man lernt nie aus. Hatte die Fehleranalyse zuvor "mühsam" mit einem Multimeter durchgeführt. Mit dem UART scheint es schneller zu gehen. Welches UART-Gerät nutzt du oder kannst du aus Erfahrung eins empfehlen?
Wünsche dir frohe Festtage und danke im Voraus 🎄🎅

[@stetofix]

Moin. Als UART Device nutze ich den CH341A Adapter mit 3.3V Mod. Es gibt allerdings auch eine lötfreie Variante als 3,3V-1,8V Adapter, der in den CH341A eingesetzt wird. Hier als Set: www.amazon.de/EEPROM-Programmierer-CH341A-SOIC8-Adapter/dp/B09MHH6D8H .
Schöne Weihnachtsfeiertage und einen Guten Rutsch.

Perfekt, danke 👍@@stetofix

Hi thats unfortunate that its dead , but good video could I ask where you got the fault database

[@stetofix]

I posted the error list at GBAtemp.net

[@rubenmejia4881]

Hi 👋 I wanted to ask which flux are you using?

[@stetofix]

Hi, I'm using from Amtech: STIRRI VS-UHF-TF.

[@rubenmejia4881]

@@stetofix thank you!

[@DrCryogenic]

When you mentioned the first thing as drop damage, I thought to myself he'd better check the APU first 🤣🤣
Btw, is the PS5 uart error codes txt you have public? Readily available to download?

[@stetofix]

Sometimes I let myself carried away from an idea and skip the method... :)
The errorlist I posted at gbatemp.net (gbatemp.net/threads/ps5-uart-commands.642741/post-10305776) and Phil (@TheCod3r) has a online database: uartcodes.com/

[@repdata1208]

Schönes lehrreiches Video kannst du mal zeigen wo man bei der PS% den UART Anschluss findet ? und wo gibt es die UART ERROR code zum download Danke

[@stetofix]

Moin. Die Test-Punkte findest Du je nach Modell in der Nähe des WiFi Chips. Hier beim 1216B befinden sie sich neben dem Lüfteranschluß. (ruclips.net/video/XGCIExygfHc/видео.html). SW = GND, WS = TX (-> RX Adapter), GRN = TX (-> RX Adapter). Das Programm ps5-wee-tools kannst Du bei GitHub.com runterladen: github.com/andy-man/ps5-wee-tools. Alternatives Programm mit integrierter Fehlerausgabe: github.com/amoamare/PS5CodeReader. Und die Error liste habe ich bei GBAtemp.net gepostet: gbatemp.net/threads/ps5-uart-commands.642741/#post-10305776

Hello, what is the reason for reporting 808011FF? Is it not connected properly?

[@stetofix]

A 808011xx error appears if a or some GDDR6 ram ics are removed from the mainboard. A 'FF' at the end would indicate that all eight ram ics have a problem. I still don't know what exact line from a ram ic must be interrupted to cause this error.

[@whlo3049]

I often try to replace 8 RAM, but the problem still hasn't been solved, it's still the same as before😢😢😢

[@whlo3049]

Hello, I am also using CH314A, but it has been soldered and connected to the computer to run the software without any response

[@stetofix]

Hi. The CH341A must be modified from 5V to 3.3V on the TX line. If 5V are reaching the PS5 southbridge, the sb will stop and not respond.
Here is a link to a forum, where I posted infos: www.tronicsfixforum.com/t/ps5-uart-usb-serial-reader-ch314a-3-3v-mod/12143

[@whlo3049]

Thank you very much

[@exile9156]

Sad :(

[@stetofix]

Sometimes you lose, sometimes the other wins. :) And if no fix it could be used for parts.

[@Steve_be]

It happens
