Why would sony want to repair it when they could make someone buy another console?

@Tronicsfix Год назад

Yep, exactly

@6reen6uy Год назад

@silotx Год назад

They are insanely greedy, they offer just one year of service here in EU and if it has the most minor problem they ask you 300 euro to get a refurbished console. I couldn't fix mine due to the GPU being faulty and Sony not offering any replacement parts. I got the refurbished console i am selling it and never getting a PS5 again until they change their stance goodbye Sony.

@Lolp821 Год назад

I'd say it's something less sinister than that. I reckon it was likely too time consuming for them to complete the repair for what it was. They likely have a process of repair time vs the severity of the damage. They also likely have a contracted company doing the repairs.

@Sacren365 Год назад

A legitimate reason for why they deemed this un-fixable is the lack of an IPC certified employee. At my job I’m currently in the repair department and I get several boards with torn pads get thrown out because of torn pads. While my coworkers and would love to fix them, the company can get a pretty fine if we get caught doing certain techniques that we are certified to do. While it could be that they just wanted to make a quick buck and sell the guy a new console, there is a chance that their repair dept. would’ve really wanted to fix it but just is not allowed too. We’ve been trying to get sent off for training to get certified for a year now, but the company doesn’t think it’s worth it to send us away for two weeks while spending thousands of dollars on the class and even more for housing and food.

As someone who works in the commercial repair industry I get why sony deemed it "un repairable" but to me this speaks volumes on why marrying the disc drive to the mobo is a terrible idea. If they didnt marry it this would have been an easy swap for their repair team.

@Tomazack Год назад

Not sure I understand what you mean, the disk drive is a separate unit with only a wire connecting it to the mb.

@christianemerson4463 Год назад

@@Tomazack typically consoles have security checks to make sure the drive key (some form of encrypted GUID) is the one that is flashed to the boot sector of the console, if you swap the drive the console will either not boot or not allow the drive to work because it does not recognize the dvd key. They do this to make it more difficult to flash custom firmware to the drive allowing you to play rips of pirated games...although also makes repairs much more difficult

@DXHatakeKakashi Год назад

@@Tomazack that's not the problem the firmware of the drive is encoded into the firmware of the PS5 mainboard. Due to this you cant swap out drives sadly

@jarednewton6465 Год назад

@@Tomazack The disc drives are hard coded to only work with that motherboard meaning that you can't just put another one in. The Xbox 360 was the same way. I had to desolder the board on my broken drive and solder it on the new drive so it would work again.

@FlopFan69 Год назад

Console would work fine if you didn’t buy games on discs lmao. Broken disc drive ≠ broken console.

@connorcrenshaw2967 Год назад

Solid fix, disappointed Sony did not at least offered to swap the drive for a fee instead of deeming this e-waste. I would have checked that the motor mounting screws on the gear train were tight. They looked a bit loose in the video, you might not have even needed a new motor.

@F3N01 Год назад

As stated in the comment above, Sony pairs all of the parts of a PS5 together. If you swap out the disk drive, it wont work as it'll not recognise it as it doesn't have the serial code or something. Basically Sony made it that if there's a big enough difficulty to the point of soldering being needed, it's e-waste.

@mehmetmetinbaki Год назад

@@F3N01 be that as it may, but still Sony is capable of pairing new drive to existing motherboard or coding old drive's serial number to a new blank drive, but because selling an entire unit is more profitable than repairing broken ones they just refuse to do it. Please no body tell me that it is impossible, It is them who have done all thoose programing in the first place.

@F3N01 Год назад

When there is a global crysis that raises the supply cost they say "we have share the impact and beacuse our cost has increased 5 USD we raise the price 50 USD" When crysis resolved and supply prices drop even lower than before they say "who were you again, btw our cost just droped half but our price will remain as it is"

@mozzergaming4826 Год назад

I worked for Sony a long time ago, and never in the repair dept, but I'm pretty sure a customer would expect some kind of short guarantee on a repair carried out by a Sony repair base. No major electronics manufacturer is going to give a guarantee on a torn pad repair, that's why Sony have deemed it unrepairable even though a DIY'er can probably repair it...Steve himself has done repairs that "he wouldn't sell" for the same reason, to protect his brand and reputation...

I used to work in a factory repairing PS3's, it seems ridiculous that they couldn't fix this with a refurbished disc drive. We had all of the software etc to pair the bluray/motherboard so that shouldn't be a problem.

@rayclark9643 Год назад

Sony probably didn't want to fix it as the problems with the drive was customer caused and not a failing of the hardware on it's own. Still even If they didn't want to fix it you'd think that they would have offered the customer the option of installing another functioning drive???🤔

@Randomstuff77654 Год назад

I am amazed how you can remember where everything goes

@ziggy4465 Год назад

I am wondering why Sony would decline such a simple repair, but based on the comments…it makes some sense. If Sony is having retention issues with qualified repair technicians, it makes sense. Not a lot of people like doing the soldering required (I found this out first hand with my Xbox). I do feel that it is very inefficient to marry the board on the optical drive either system board, creates more problems for the company that could have repaired, rather than replace (if it was still under warranty). There are a lot of things that one company will deem unfixable that can be fixed, but it requires two things most companies lack today…time and skill. Great to see that you were able to get it working again. So I mentioned an Xbox in the comments above. Since it was out of warranty, I chose a local repair shop to fix it. The sign in the window said, “we fix game consoles”, so I believed they could. Had my machine for a month, tried to charge me more for the repair than it cost for a new one, complained about having to solder (their outside repair expert was having trouble doing it), returned the machine to me with stickers & permanent marker writing on it (had to scrub it off with a Mister Clean magic eraser), and scratched the heck out of the case. I paid $100 for the 30 day repair. I used it once and it broke again (the drive didn’t even sound right. Lots of whirring). I ordered a replacement and did the repair myself (after watching one of your videos) in 15 minutes. The soldering wasn’t pretty, but was better than what they did and was functional. I got another year out of that repair and then I ran into an issue securing quality parts (because the series s/x were in development), so I purchased a new Xbox One and still have it. Will probably replace this year with a Series X machine. Thanks for sharing.

@jackmadiaga8907 Год назад

Watching your videos has helped me so much especially since I started my own repair/flip shop. A lot of your tricks I use almost on every repair with the most common one is cleaning the memory reader by putting alcohol on the card then putting it on then off again on the slot.

@blazinthat7439 Год назад

I almost learned this the hard way after removing a broken disc drive. Threw it away and when I started the system back up it tried to update but couldn't, lucky I was able to fish it out the trash and it wasn't nasty. Couldn't believe they would do something like that.

@RedPillAlways Год назад

I went ahead an got that pro tech ifixit kit.. Since I now have a PS5 and XSX this will be great for taking it apart routine maintenance and cleaning

@69DevilDriver Год назад

@jbtec5730 Год назад

Great job Steve! I hoped to see you opening that motor just for the sake of curiosity, maybe in a next opportunity, that would have been fun to watch!

@Macazian Год назад

I think Sony deemed it "unrepairable" due to the fact that the service/repair depot operates like an assembly line to only swap components for high volume repairability service. Most OEM warranty service depots, I believe, do this to save labor costs. E.g. One certified technician can can have a backlog of 20 consoles to swap parts then bench test multiple consoles. Since swapping components is much quicker. If they took time to do soldering on one unit and testing and ABA cross-checking, there would be a backlog of console awaiting swapping parts and testing. I think service depots find the most efficient (leanest) means of repairs with quick turn around, which in this case is quick parts swappage and then testing in volume per bench to be the most lean and cost effect and driven, resource-wise.

Trying to fix a PS5 that TWO other repair shops couldn't fix: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--GP8Q5OWCXw.html I see some questions about how the connector got broken and if I remember right the person that sent it in broke the connector. I don't think it was broken by anyone at the repair center. ALSO, I don't blame them for not fixing this console under warranty as it was damaged beyond what a warranty would cover BUT I do think that they should have offered a paid repair service instead of just saying that it was not fixable. That's my main issue with this.

That power connector should be through hole, or have mounting posts that go through the PCB for strength. Sony probably saves a fraction of a penny using the surface mount.

@EmergencyChannel Год назад

One penny over 100 million consoles is a lot of money.

Surface mount for these kind of connectors is pretty normal. Usually they will do through hole for bigger connectors, or ones that they expect users to be stressing a lot (think USB charging port on a controller or something).

I found your channel like two weeks ago and since then i watched a lot of videos. It's great! I don't know anything about soldering but i want to learn. Maybe this is a stupid question but what are you putting on the board at 5:30 when prepping for the connector?

This video got my sub, did a similar job years ago on my thick PS2, favorite console. Oh Sony how far you have fallen.

Steve I have a question or maybe someone else can answer about warranty coverage. Scalper buys console by bulk one year ago, (warranty expired) someone buys off scalper does warranty begin when console is activated or UPC scanned as sold? Serial number need to verify?

Kids are very creative when it comes to destroying things. This is thought of playing a cookie game by inserting a cookie in the PS5 disc tray. Nicely thought 😂

I never see you adding solder. I don't see you press a solder wire against the gun. Where does you solder come from? What am I not understanding? BTW, I love your videos. Thanks for all the education. The other day I taught my son how to take apart and clean out our old busted Xbox controllers. So far we've rescued two.

Good afternoon.. Friend if possible, I just wanted to ask a question for me? I watched a video of yours about testing thermal paste on ps5.. So I use a kit that makes the ps5 cooler faster as I want the speed increased.. And you say in the video that in parts you can use thermal paste.. No case like the cooler of my ps5 the rotation i leave it accelerated, i could use thermal paste instead of liquid metal.. i think liquid metal is very dangerous. use thermal paste instead, since my ps5's cooler is sped up?

Seems Sonys repair/replace process differs from country to country. I have used them a couple of times over the years. Used them with my PS1 when I spilled water on it, also with my PS3 when it had the YLOD and with my PSVR headset when my rabbit decided to chew through the main wire. Over here in the UK, what they do or did is you contact them and tell them what your issue is, they tell you there is a single price you have to pay, regardless of what the issue is, and they send a courier to your house a few days later. You give them just your console without any cables or controller etc, and the courier then gives you a reconditioned console to the same spec as yours. So with my PS3, as it was an early fat model with the PS2 emulating software, that is exactly what I got back, not a later model without the emulation. It's a reasonably priced service as well.

you could also secure the connector with some epoxy

Note NEVER PUT COOKIES INSIDE YOUR CONSOLES DISC DRIVE you would think no human being would ever say something like that lol

@smarty0604 Год назад

What’s the tool you’re using to scrape back the pcb to expose the copper underneath ?

@norliasmith Год назад

So from what I can tell some worker at Sony broke the connector, and then gave up on the repair.

@oherman Год назад

They could've fixed it by replacing the disc drive module and called it a day, and refurbish that drive with the ripped pins with a new pcb. Sometimes they really don't think things trough when they declare it unfixable.

@mehmetmetinbaki Год назад

Actualt they thought it through, but because selling entire units is more profitable than repairing broken ones they just refuse to do it.
