Ps5 shorted APU?

PS5 Questions
1

Hi everyone!

I’m trying repairing a ps5 console.
It is completely dead. All the voltages are present as far as i can see.
There is a 0 ohm short on the apu power rail though. It takes 2.5 amp at 1.2 volts injection and the apu is getting warm.
I dont have thermal camera (there is one on it’s way though :slight_smile: )
There was some liquid metal spill though, i removed the foam and the sticker from the apu to be sure that nothing is getting shorted out by liquid metal.
I tried feeling with my fingers for hot spots and used alcohol for making heat vissible but with no luck. All the mosfets and caps stay cool, only the
Apu is getting warm…
Does anyone have any ideas what i could do as a next step ?

Thanks

Peter

Hello. I was wondering if you ever determined what the issue was. I have a board with a dead short on the 1.35vram supply that I cannot locate. Board came to me with a shorted mosfet. Replaced the mosfet but I am still seeing the short. Thanks
