    EMD-041 Flash Controller ScCmd Response Error

    @thesjaakspoiler Thank you for your reply. In fact, the resistors present around the BIOS chip on the EDM010 and EDM020 revisions had already been removed starting with the EDM033 revision. In the Slim versions, they are no longer used. I carefully inspected the entire board under a microscope...

    EMD-041 Flash Controller ScCmd Response Error

    Hello everyone, Lately, I seem to be getting nothing but nightmare boards. I received an EDM-041 board that had already been worked on by another technician. It arrived without the BIOS chip (which I rebuilt), without the retimer (which I reinstalled), and without the W2251 60NGDTO, which I...

    PS5 BIOS Reconstruction Without Original Dump – Is It Possible?

    I haven’t performed the UART read yet. I’m currently using a known-good dump from a 1215B 61G, while my board, which is missing the BIOS chip, is a 1216A 61G. Do you think this could be the problem? That said, I’ll get a dump for a 1216A 61G. Will it be possible to get it to boot? 1781557328...

    PS5 BIOS Reconstruction Without Original Dump – Is It Possible?

    I replaced the faulty components and rebuilt the BIOS using the LAN MAC address and checksum from a donor board, but I’m still getting 3 beeps! Something isn’t right. What could be causing it?

    Missing pad in southbridge

    Most of the pads on the board will normally read “LO” (open) when the southbridge is not installed. A faulty southbridge is usually diagnosed when it is soldered onto the motherboard. In any case, a failure can be identified by checking the inductor bridge located just after the LAN port or the...

    PS5 BIOS Reconstruction Without Original Dump – Is It Possible?

    Hello, I received a PS5 that unfortunately has some missing components. The previous technician probably couldn’t identify the fault. I managed to find the issue, but unfortunately the BIOS chip has been removed. My question is: without a valid original dump, is it possible to reconstruct the...

    Missing pad in southbridge

    I can confirm that it is an NC pad on the 69GG as well. I'd also like to add that there are NC pads in the same position on all four sides. Would you be so kind as to provide us with the boardview for the EDM-010?

    PS5 UART commands

    Good morning, here we go again with this cursed 80810001 error. Could someone help me out? I can’t find any obvious short circuit. The board powers on for a second, the fan starts spinning, and then everything shuts down. The power sequence stops at 196 mA, while on a working board I measure...

    PS5 Slim stuck in SAFE MODE (CE-120239-7)

    Hi, personally I’ve given up trying to fix this console. As far as hardware is concerned, I don’t think it has any issues. I replaced, in order, the SSD controller, the SSD NAND chips (the replaceable ones), and the southbridge, but I kept having the same problem. I decided to keep the board to...

    Uart Error 80810001 (213C)

    SOLVED, the problem was in GDDR6 bank n°7, it was completely short-circuited. The strange thing is that after removing it and replacing it, I started getting 8080110E on banks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8. I had to replace them all to fix it permanently. I was wondering for next time: if I’m forced...

    Uart Error 80810001 (213C)

    Hi everyone, I have a faulty PS5 in my hands: the string code is 213C. What exactly does it refer to? I used to use Dony Tools GUI, but unfortunately my old desktop PC has died. @stetofix, you might be the only person I know who could help me identify the problem.

    EDM033 issue nand ssd

    I replaced the three replaceable modules; the other three are “married” to the rest of the motherboard configuration, so I removed them and re-balled them. I also replaced the SSD controller, but I still get exactly the same problem: it gets stuck at 99% during formatting. The strange thing is...

    EDM033 issue nand ssd

    Hi everyone, I have a PS5 EDM-033 on my bench. The console arrived in very poor condition after a failed attempt to replace the HDMI port. Initially, the console would power on but showed no image, with a white LED. I replaced the HDMI port and repaired all the damaged traces. At that point...
