Hi,

I have a couple of PS5 controllers that don’t work. After inspecting 1 with a thermal camera I can see that the Dialog DA9087 PMIC is blown. I took the other one off the other knackered controller but it looks to be knackered as well as I only see 0.01a when trying to charge.

Long story Short - anyone know where to buy the Dialog DA9087 PMIC?

I have no additional insight as to causes of failure or location or replacements (or something you might adapt to be a replacement -- even if it is a custom chip then chances are another in the range from the same company will function similarly enough). Though I will also say be sure it is the chip that is blown, and not some short or something elsewhere in the controller PCB that is blowing things for you.

What I am more here to say is maybe seek to characterise the chip itself -- a lot of manuals will note resistances (might have to do high frequency/break out the ESR meter) between pins.

What are you guys doing to your controllers??
I always treat my controllers nicely but plenty throw them around, twist them/bend them in anger sit on them, stand on them, crush them under the sofa, yank on cables when charging, use them with frayed cables that short things out internally, stick them on dodgy import USB chargers that do not have the best regulation...
Often then for a bit of soldering it makes for a nice source of parts and possible fixes to spare you the crazy high prices that controllers seem to go for these days (back on the PS2/N64/whatever days I was finding first party things for £10 or so, second hand games of note/quality at the time being about £20, even on the 360 then other than the rotatable dpad ones things were still £10 to £20, and new ones were not so much more. Today I can only blame the death of local co-op for the low supply and all the kids wanting them for PC games and mobile phones -- quite often I see kids with PS4 controllers for playing mobile phone games).

    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
