I strapped a metal bar to the motherboard, forcibly flattening the bent board.
I strapped two metal bars to the motherboard, forcibly flattening the bent board, then soldered the APU.
Since it's a dropped PS5, this most likely caused cold solder joints on the APU. You can check the resistance values of the capacitors on the back of the APU — there are about 10 power supply rails for the APU.
Latest update: By reinstalling the APU with reballed solder balls, I seem to have resolved the freezing and shutdown issues. However, before this, I failed three consecutive times to reinstall the APU because the warped motherboard caused...
I reinstalled the APU on a PS5 that was booting normally, but now the blue light keeps flashing — all chips are heating up normally, yet there's no display output. I think this is related to the soldering — the motherboard warped slightly after...
Perhaps it could be a RAM failure? Sometimes, damaged RAM doesn't cause abnormal heat or error codes, but can halt the boot process due to memory data corruption.
I saw your suggestion earlier, so I replaced the XDPE at the very beginning, but it didn't improve anything.I checked and confirmed that the XDPE is working perfectly fine.
Latest update,I found that Error Code: 80830018 = SoC Sync Flood, and similar errors also occur on AMD platform computers. I think this may be caused by an APU defect — the APU cannot operate stably at the maximum frequency, but it works...
In my case, I don't think the Southbridge is the culprit. PS4 games work fine, but PS5 games don't — that's the thing. I've read that the APU runs at lower clocks for PS4 games, while PS5 games push it to higher frequencies by default. Most...
I also have an EDM-030 with this problem.. It works perfectly fine when I launch music or video apps, but as soon as I run a game,the screen freezes within a few minutes, and then it shuts down a few seconds later. When the fault occurs, I get...
