My ps5 has been out of commission for a couple months now because of the disc drive. I tried the repair guide and it still wasnt working so i ended up tossing it. Did not know that would be a fatal mistake because i didnt know that the disc drive was married to the motherboard. Is there a way for my ps5 to get fixed?
Where is the original daughterboard then?
The disc drive is in the garbage. The only thing i have is the ps5
I apologize for the late replay. The notification that u responded got sent to my spam folder
You can turn your PS5 into a digital one, so you can pass the update.
Without the original daughterboard, there is atm no way to use another drive for installing/playing games.
How do i turn it into a digital one?
If you dump the data of the nor (bios), you can change a specific byte
(0x001C7011 = 02 (BD) / 03 (digital) ← disables BD drive)
And if you write back the dump, the console will not check for a disc drive at the update.
Wow that sounds complicated. Who do i send it to to get my situation fixed?
yes, you better off find someone do that for you, and sell the useless unmarried disc drive out for parts
how do I do that I have the bin off my bios ic
I would use:
- a programmer (for example a cheap CH341A with clamp connector adapter [Amazon.com])
- a programmer software like NeoProgrammer [CH341A-Softwares/Programas/Windows/NeoProgrammer at main · YTEC-info/CH341A-Softwares · GitHub]
