Thank you so much! I do enjoy the hunt! Sometimes you just know it has to be right in front of you!

Thanks so much! I'm glad you liked it!

Thank you! I did not notice a hole. I still have the resistors so I can go back and take a look. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Thank You! I'm glad you enjoyed!

I'm pretty sure that's a solder ball. I think these resistors just age over time when exposed to heat and high voltage.

Thank You! I'm glad you enjoyed!

Thank you very much!

I'm glad you enjoyed! You are quite welcome!

You're welcome! Thanks for stopping by and commenting. It's always appreciated!

That's very kind of you. Thanks!

Thanks so much! I'm glad you liked it! Hopefully, more to come.

You are too kind!

Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed!

Thanks for the sub!

Excellent! Steve Be is a wealth of information!

@@ToltecMerc he sure is!

Thank you! The capacitors are a possibility.

Thank you! Greeting from the US!

Hmmm. I hadn't considered the glue. Thanks for watching!

Thank you! I don't like to give up on a repair!

Thank you! I'm glad it helped!

@@ToltecMerc in the end it wasn't power supply issue, but i knew alot new with these vids

Sometimes they are! Thanks for watching!

Thank You!

Yeah, solder ball I think. Thanks for stopping by!

Thanks for watching!

Glad it helped!

Thanks! Just about to upload another!

You are quite welcome! Glad you enjoyed!

@@ToltecMerc I admire your skill and patience

You may have to find another supply to compare to. You can see if your high voltage is trying to go up briefly and shutting back down. There are some large value resistors in the feedback circuit that can be damaged. They will cause this issue.

@@ToltecMerc Hi thanks for replying I checked the resistors which were in M ohms on the feedback but they seem to be ok even replaced them but no change . They goto 2 transistors Q1 and Q2 going to replace thoes n see . The voltage does go up to 325v from about 310v then it shuts it self off . I replaced thoes 2 transistors but still the same the volts won't goto 395v any suggestions on how to test the pfc circuit ?

I managed to fix it . I re soldered all the optos and the DNP012AH chip and its working fine.

Thank you! 🙂

It is very difficult to measure high value resistance in circuit because of parallel resistances and voltage remaining on capacitors. Desolder the resistor and test again. I find it easiest to heat the resistor and just spin it around so it is only making contact on one end but is still held in place. Also, you might clean any flux off of it before measuring.

I have several bench supplies. In this video, I used an old HP E3620A. It's a two channel, 0-25VDC, 0-1A power supply.

@@ToltecMerc Thank you!

That does sound like a power supply problem.

Thanks for the kind words. I have been working with electronics for about 40 years but only recently started working on consoles. I’m having a lot of fun. I would recommend buying something broken and start trying. You can learn a lot watching others so it is a good idea to pick something somewhat common that others also work on. You really have to learn by doing. You will pick up knowledge along the way. I don’t recommend starting with power supplies because of the dangers. Good luck!!

You're welcome 😊

It’s just a standard PS4 Slim. It is missing the outer shell.

@@ToltecMerc i work on own stuff but just never seen a ps4 slim with this kind of plates is it an off brand plates cause it doesn't look normal to me but then again i never owned the slim model. But seen tear downs and stuff like that and never seen one with this kinda of setup with the antenna place ments and stuff

@@ToltecMerc i still found the video interesting by the way it just looks funny compaired to some others i seen. So yea just werid curiosity of why it looks like this unless its a revised version i just never seen

PM sent.

I'm not sure. It sounds like my microphone came unplugged so the camera switched to the built-in microphone. Or perhaps my microphone got covered by the coat I was wearing.

​@@ToltecMerc I have one suggestion/idea for youtube videos. Im not quite sure how its done, but I hope you will understand. You know that on video timeline, there is a possibility to show like segments, chapters. So on mouseover, people can see where which segment of video starts. I think it would be good overview, if we had something like that in those videos, for example 00:00 - 7:00 Visual Inspection, 7:00 - 9:00 IC1 , 9:00 - 13:00 IC2 and so on... then mark "Resistor solution" at the end. I know its one more step in editing on youtube but I believe it will be worth for viewer. He comes to this video and see, oh there is segment for this IC2 i wanted to check, I wanna see how he did it. And then he watch it. Othervise, he will just skip 42min video not knowing that info is there.
