Anyway good job on the fix and looking forward to the other 14. I'm predicting you get at least half of them working. Maybe a couple of early firmware jobbies. Fingers crossed lol.

    I bought last year for the majestic price of £17 an early Switch, was told it was buggered and when it arrived I put a charge into it and it lit up, touchscreen fine, cheap joycons I bought for it working perfectly, one of the things stated was it didn't dock and it did for me but now it doesn't so that part came true... Put a new improved battery in it as the original one held less charge than a one legged man doing the hokey cokey. I also knackered the SD card reader, bought a cheap replacement but lack the courage to do any more as being much older than the usual lot me eyes are def a problem and now have three pairs of glasses, one for driving (perfect long vision), one for reading and video watching bumble about set and a set of milk bottle bottoms for my watchmaking and other squinty eyed messing about.

    • @SnipesXxX

    why don't these "unfixable" boards come with the daughterboard? Just to prevent them to be resold?

    I hope you read my comment but you CAN update and use that PS5 console without the original daughter board (with digital games of course), you just need another daughter board to be able to update the console.
    a month ago i bought a Blu Ray edition PS5 for parts but it didn´t come with the disc drive. The problem was just a shorted cap and just like you i thought there´s was nothing else i could do to play games on it but i decided to give it a try at installing a disc drive i had laying around from a donor board i wasn´t able to fix and try to update the console and IT WORKED (i thought it was like the PS4 when no original daughter board meant game over but it´s not the case on PS5).
    Of course you can´t play disc games because it´s not the original daughter board but it works just fine with digital games. I hope it helps.
    What i want to try is swap the APU and other components married to the daughter board i used and install them on the PS5 i repaired hoping to have a fully working console but do you know wich components are married so i can swap them all?

    • @skolvuk
      @skolvuk Год назад +2

      If it was originally a disc drive system, there is an additional circuit on the board for that. It is also paired to the APU, so when it's not there, the system knows. When updating, it does a check of all the components, including the disc drive, if paired. If something is missing or not working, the update fails. A digital edition is missing that extra circuit for the disc drive, and also has a very slightly different bios, so it doesn't check for the disc drive. A disc edition console can never work without that disc drive daughter board.

    It looks like it's time to change your nickname either to "TheR3surrector" or "TheNecromanc3r". 🤣😂

      Said that, I would investigate the availability of sockets with pogo pins that close with a clasp, like the ones used for nand flash chips, so that you can modify a board to easily test components without the need to reball them.
