    PS5 no power, not turning on, short on 12volt rail, help please.

    Thanks, I am thinking it's around the mosfet area, not sure what readings I should get from a faulty mosfet, possibly it's just shirts through? but was looking at just removing them one by one to find the issue.

    Anyway to update Switch fw that will not fully boot past Hekate?

    Thanks, I have seen two videos by sthetix, one uses a donor nand the other uses the console nand if it can be downloaded (which mine can) so think there my only options! 1672240407 Thanks for this, so this basically says I have more then a fuse issue, its more likely a corrupted nand!
