Hello there,
Before: I’m pretty inexpierenced.
Begin of the repair is, that I got it with no HDMI signal… at this point it turned on without any problems. but because the display recognized that something has been plugged in but after some seconds showed “No signal” I was unsure if the problem is caused by the HDMI-Port or the Chip. I didn’t want to dissassemble the entire console - especially to the liquid metal - so I ordered an HDMI-Port Tester to check if the Port is fine.
The console was at this point not fully taken apart (took out the Motherboard with PSU , and only took away the cover which includes the “NVME Cage”.
Even in this state it worked normally.
Well it took 3 Weeks that I got the HDMI-Port Tester. In this time the PS5 was in this state as mentioned before dissassembled in a box.
After the waiting time I connected the PSU and HDMI-Cable to check if the problem solved magically itself, but now it won’t power on at all.
welp I checked now with a thermal camera: nothing at all.
The PSU is fine, showing the 12V and also directly on the Motherboard I get those 12V.
Now I don’t know anything at all - never done such a check if it show to life at all, so yea I’m looking for a Dummyguide what exactly I can try out step by step…
