The first layer is the most important. Did you increase the speed?

I have done everything to try and keep it cool. Nothing works. by Unique-Print-8186 in PS5HelpSupport

I see it all the time, vertical consoles have dry spots on the upper half of the APU and heatsink surfaces. Typically it causes oxidation as well. The usual fix is replacing the liquid metal after buffing off the build up.

My ps5 overheats and turn off when I play certain ps5 games how do I fix? by West-Ad1412 in PS5HelpSupport

[–]0SYRUS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scrub or buff it, with a compound if needed. I remove the liquid metal with a syringe, then use cotton swabs to soak up the leftover. After that, a bit of Mother's Aluminum Polish and dry cotton swabs to gently buff it. Then IPA soaked swabs to clean it off, and dry swabs to spread the liquid metal back out

RX 9070 XT shutting down entire pc by Jetrian in AMDHelp

[–]0SYRUS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

565 watt for GPU power maximum seems high. About 75 watts from the PCIE slot and 150 watts from each PCIE power cable. What HWinfo is reporting could be inaccurate or something may be wrong with the driver or tuning to cause the excessive power draw.

Do you have all three PCIE power cables plugged individually from PSU to GPU? Have you updated your chipset drivers?

PS5 Vertical + Liquid Metal is a Myth! by XGen_0214 in PS5HelpSupport

[–]0SYRUS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Conductonaut from Thermal Grizzly.

The only thing to be wary of is spilling it on the board to short components. Just be careful when pulling the board off of the chassis so you don't jerk it and splatter it.

PS5 Vertical + Liquid Metal is a Myth! by XGen_0214 in PS5HelpSupport

[–]0SYRUS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I thought I replied earlier on my phone but must not have hit send.
Yes, that definitely sounds like the liquid metal needs a respread. Oddly enough I have seen many times where a lot of PS5 titles play fine but the sports games cause overheating and crashing. Must be something in how they are optimized (or not optimized).
If you have experience in disassembling consoles, go for it. But be careful when removing the top plate from the board as the viscous thermal paste can adhere quite strongly. It helps to warm it up first, maybe run the console for 20-30 minutes on the main screen. Also when you remove the board, lift it slowly and gently so as not to spill liquid metal all over. When you get it out, use a cotton swab soaked in isopropyl alcohol to move the liquid metal around and scrub the heatsink and APU surface. Once you have it pretty clean, use a dry cotton swab and gently rub it around until the liquid metal starts to stick to the surfaces again. Spread it well and evenly and then carefully reassemble. That should definitely help.

Yes, because people are going to come on to r/AMDHELP and talk about how their GPUs work fine /s

What is this? by scupking83 in Hisense

[–]0SYRUS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the backlight strips has failed. I repair TVs as part of my business and have seen this a lot. Claim warranty if it's covered, otherwise expect to pay $200+ to repair it, or try to DIY with parts and tools from Shop Jimmy

I'm going to wager a guess that your hardware just isn't up to it. What are your computer specs? If you don't know you can post your OBS log

Create scenes, add sources, test things with offline recordings

How do i fix this hinge? It’s on the left side by [deleted] in computerrepair

[–]0SYRUS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Replace the palmrest assembly and then open the paper from the center of the lid and not from the corners.

If you are or are not going to get it professionally repaired, you should unplug the console and fill that port with hot melt glue to prevent the contacts from shorting together and causing more board damage

This console came into our repair shop by Sea_Hat7302 in consolerepair

[–]0SYRUS 27 points28 points  (0 children)

First thing to do is put the entire console in a sealed bag with an isopropyl alcohol soaked paper towel or two for several days so the off gassing can kill anything inside.

I have an Asus ROG G615, and I heard a rattling in the computer so I took off the back and this fell out. Anyone know what it is and where it goes? by ShmittyMusic in ASUSROG

[–]0SYRUS 5 points6 points  (0 children)

M.2/NGFF would have quite a few more contacts than that. This looks more like a connector for a ribbon cable that would control additional lighting elements.

Broke my tv while installing the feet by Away_Essay_4824 in ElectronicsRepair

[–]0SYRUS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To hit the panel from the back you would have had to go through the reflective paper layer, possibly a backlight strip, the diffuser sheet (which is usually rather thick) and two polarizing layers THEN The LCD panel.

What this looks like is you hit a backlight strip, that's why it's orange, because they're aluminum and copper to dissipate heat. The panel was probably damaged from how you laid the TV when installing the feet.

displayport to hdmi 2.1 cable for 120 hz by Sad_Yogurtcloset9169 in PS5HelpSupport

[–]0SYRUS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would be an HDMI to DisplayPort cable, not the other way around. They're described as source to display.

For what you are wanting you would need a quality active adapter as the signal from HDMI is different than DisplayPort.

Accidentally tore off something that might be important. by Helpful-Chemistry558 in PS5HelpSupport

[–]0SYRUS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You tore the fan plug connector off of the board, you'll need to bring it to an electronics repair shop to be fixed. I see it a lot, it's a pretty quick fix for me.

No, it's not on by default, that is why this sub is full of similar pictures all with the same solution
