One beep no power after HDMI replacement - PS5 SLIM (EDM-041)

Hey guys!

Have a PS5 Slim (EDM-041) that came in with a broken HDMI port. Long story short, one my techs took it in, checked it turned on, disassembled it, removed the HDMI port and since he was not capable to solder the new one back, he assembled everything back and sent it to me.

My bad aswell since I didn’t check if the console powered on by this time, but I just went for the HDMI port install. Everything went fine. No pads were ripped and the area looks good. Assembled the console back together but now it won’t turn on. If you press power button it will beep once and that’s all. No lights no nothing.

Ran UART and this is what I got in the image.

But it seems like these are reference for Fat PS5 not Slim. Anyone knows what this can mean on SLIM model?

Fuse F7001 and all the others ones on the board are okay.

The only thing I’ve was able to check standby voltages wise was using @jkyoho ps5 slim standby voltages map on the last topic, to find out I’m missing 5V_USB. I have 1.8V, 5V_STBY and 3.3V on the IC in the F7003 area.

Boot sequence starts at 0.08ma, jumps to 0.55ma and after 20 seconds-ish goes back to 0.08ma.

Thank you so much everyone.

boot sequence current stays high for 20sec-ish is way too long. check for short or anything heats up during this 20sec boot sequence

thanks for replying. I measured it again and it’s around 8-10sec, I overshoot it. Would this still be too much? Any particular place I should check for heating? Sadly I have no thermal camera.

The current stays high fore less than 3sec normally at boot sequence. Check around F7004 area if the UART code indicates SSD controller issue

Good hint. Found this cap short on both sides.

Looks cracked on the left side?

Took the cap out and the short is gone on the right area. What value would this cap be, do you have an idea?

zoom out a bit, dont know where it goes

it was here my twizzer tip is.

10uF_0402 measure from my donor board, ai guess it should be on 5v or 1.8v rail, so 6.3v voltage rate should work

Here to report that that cap was the culprit. After getting a donor from an iPhone board, we’re back to business. Thank you so much @jkyoho for all the help.
