Vince's Repair Thread - (Console Repairs & Mods)


No power ps5 came in yesterday. Not my first rodeo, missing 3v3 rail dead short on the output of the dialogue IC, you would think the IC but nope cap... Injected the rail with 1v and that little cap was well over 100c on the thermal camera.

Was on second beer at the time of recording lol

Great work Vince! Any idea what causes that cap to pack in? Heat maybe, or just a dodgy one as such?

Not sure but its not the first time ive seen one of the two caps on the output of the 3.3v fail on these. It's just a filter cap so you can just flick it off and crack on but really you gotta replace it for peace of mind.
