One thing to mention - With the probable future shutdown of the PS4 update servers, wouldn't it be a good idea to attach another 3V source to the battery socket *during* your CR2032 replacement, so that the CMOS doesn't have the opportunity to lose power and be reset (losing your score data because the time is wrong). [I'd even go so far as to solder on wires so that connecting an external battery pack would be easier.]

@RileySkye100 3 года назад

Steve, if you think the placement of the PS5 battery is dumb, just take apart a few PS2 systems. Some versions have the battery on the motherboard, making you teardown the whole system while other revisions have the battery right on the side of the disc drive.

@tobiasl.726 3 года назад

When this will actually become a problem you will need to replace them without disconnecting them though. You can't just replace them normally anymore. First you need to attach a backup batterie that stays connected, then replace the original battery and then remove the backup batterie. If you just replace the battery without a connected backup battery the console would already be bricked.

That’s because computers from 30 years ago have a very basic BIOS that has a much lower amount of data to retain and thus a lower power requirement than a modern BIOS/UEFI

@mjc0961 3 года назад

Better still - if the battery on that 30 year old computer is dead... The only thing that happens is you get a message that says "hey friend, the battery is dead. replace it and review your settings when you feel like it, no rush" and then the computer boots up and you can still use every feature of your operating system. It doesn't lock you out of your legally purchased software like a certain brand of game consoles.

It is actually easily accessible. You don't need to take the heat sink off at all, there's a convenient cutout on the shielding to access the battery. You can see it in some of his other videos. Just flip the whole assembly over, heatsink and all, and swap the battery. Easy.

@cedricpomerleau5586 3 года назад

From what I just read, the PS consoles do the same. If they don’t have a battery, they work just fine as long as they can access the internet to get their time (they are able to fetch the time just like the Xbox). It’s just that if it dies and you’re offline, than you can’t play games anymore. It’s really similar on Xbox too, but the Xbox is more restrictive as each time the power goes down, it loses time. But the Xbox allows you to play some games even then, while the PS5 will not boot most games without internet,

The best batteries you can buy I have found is Renata, in the quartz watch world they are the Rolls Royce of batteries and show you how good they are, I bought an early 76ish Ingersoll quartz which had a AG12 its original one and it hadn't sprayed acidy goo all on the innards. Those cheap Chinese batteries, when they run out of volts the acid inside attacks the thin membrane which is under a little pressure hence why when they go and this can happen in as little as a week from running to zero, the stuff squirts all over the nice copper motherboard erasing the thin traces and even attacks any copper windings in motors... so do buy best you can get and avoid the cheapo's cos they will eat your mobo.

Measuring voltage on lithium batteries is not a very good way to tell their charge. I prefer to just use a red LED - if it lights up, then battery is ok. Even completely dead batteries will have about 3V. A working one has at least 3,2V.

@Tjoeb123 3 года назад

Yeah, you don't actually have to take all 43 screws off off the PS5. You only need to take off like 1 (the sole Torx screw I believe) and the entire assembly will lift right out, with the battery exposed.

They can "fix" it by having the console do an internet check every time you boot it up, bypassing the battery, this will make it an online only system. Another is to disable the trophy time clock internally and keep it server side, again makes it a semi-online system. Last resort, disable all trophies on legacy systems after X amount of years, this is probably the worst option. Maybe they can think of better ways, I just listed those at the top of my head. All of these can be done with firmware update.

@dertwerst 3 года назад

Man, I've heard a dozen varying descriptions of the Cbomb issue, and I've never heard a reassuring answer about why the issue wouldn't affect Xboxes as well... The version that makes the most sense to me is this: the major issue isn't really the CMOS as much as the DRM Sony puts in their digital titles that keeps them from running unless it can verify the current date was set by a Sony server. If they ever shut down that server without patching out that DRM (which I don't know whether that's a firmware-level DRM or it's in each game individually), then you'll want a fresh CMOS because you'll only be able to keep playing those digital titles until the battery dies and that server-set time disappears forever. I've heard games on blu-ray don't have that DRM. I haven't heard definitively that Xbox digital games don't have similar DRM.

TLDR: The more your PS4/PS5 is plugged into the wall the longer these batteries will last in your particular system. really interesting that SONY didn't use their OWN CR2032... IDK if any of those were pulled from a launch ps4 but that is really interesting... I will say this You failed to describe the "CMOS Clock" problem properly. If the CMOS looses the voltage from this battery when the PS4 is UNPLUGGED then when the PS4 boots and it doesn't have an internet connection the "SYSTEM TIME" will be set back to whatever SONY set as the factory default. You did mention the authentication problem pretty good but the way SONY is handling the Digital Content Authentication is actually kind of cheap but efficient.

These batteries must get a bit of a charge or I'm very lucky. My OG fat PS3 still runs without an issue. I plugged it in recently after months of it being unplugged so the family could play Mod Nation Racers (HD remake please), and other than an OS update, nothing special happened. I'm considering replacing the thermal paste and upgrading to a better fan, so I'll probably swap the battery to be safe.

I think you've just bended one of the plastic "tooth" on PS5 motherboard while replace the battery.

@devilmikey00 3 года назад

I'm curious if there is a way to just wire it up so you don't have to use a battery.

3:00 Would the xBox still function normally if you installed one from the ps motherboard? 🤔

@PhilippeMorin123 3 года назад

At least they are not soldered or anything like the batteries in N64 cartridges. 🤷‍♂️

Can we all agree that the Clock Cap issue on the OG Xbox is slightly better than having a CBomb issue? Imagine not being able to play physical discs once the CMOS dies, meanwhile 20 year old hardware modded or not can still play games even if the Clock Cap is not existing in the board

@Lukeno52 3 года назад

It isn't better, no, because the clock cap issue can totally write off the system and requires at least some equipment to replace, whilst the lithium cells are easy to replace.

@farkque2 3 года назад

@@Lukeno52 that's not true at all about OG Xbox remove the Clock Capacitor by desoldering it or bend back and forth until it breaks off, in some rare cases the leaking capacitor can destroy the montherboard but clean the leakage with some isopropyl alcohol and everthing in most cases is fine, the system will work perfectly fine without the cap just doesn't store date and time only known issue is with the 1.6 motherboards if no capacitor is present the console will error out. Yes the cap prob on OG Xbox is not good but the cbomb issue is a hell of alot worse if and when server support is gone there will be 116mil PS4 that will be useless and nothing more than a paper weight unless people resort to jailbreaking and using a payload. PS3 and PS5 are effected by the cbomb issue just not as bad.

Blue light of death can be caused by anything bad ram chips

@lindah6954 3 года назад

And on the PS5 one of the ram chips is not under the heatsink and gets hot. A burn out waiting to happen.

@lindah6954 3 года назад

@@brandon_nope Steve from Gamers Nexus discovered that one of the ram chips is not under the heatsink like the rest are. It was getting up to 170 degrees while the rest are at 80.

6:38 So wish the cmos was right here, granted, gonna last awhile, but that’s not always the case; and having to tear down the entire console practically to replace a coin battery, kinda ridiculous, no🤔

I hope sony releases firmware which prevent stuff to stop working when battery is dead
