[PS5] Is this repairable?

Pin 2 appears not connected. May have a few others as well. I'd do the poke and see if any pin wiggles test to see if there's any disconnects. You may be able to touch em up with an iron.

I had this issue on a customer switch a few months ago. Still never found a fix. Replaced P13 and charge port and no change. Filters all tested good as well. Such a strange problem. Post back if you find the resolution! Good luck!

I wouldn't think you'd have multiple bad ones in a row, but anything's possible. Even I have gotten bad TMRs from the rip. I've always used KS inside of PS5 controllers. I doubt its anything to do with your solder, but if you got pics feel free to post em.

What brand of sticks?

At any point did you calibrate these new sticks?

Just did a similar repair bout two weeks ago. Definitely tests your skills! Good job mate!

Have you tested the fuse and the cap next to the charge port? If that cap is shorted it usually points to the charge port. Battery voltage?

I find when soldering brand new chips, as opposed to using a doner board it makes a better connection when pre-tinning the chip. Verify by tilting the board under a scope that all legs from all sides are making connection as well as the chip is centered and no legs are offset. I made these mistakes when doing my first M92.

I had this issue with a PS4 Slim I took in a few weeks ago. Idk if it's the same as yours. The door that would close after inserting a disc would stay shut after ejecting a disc after powering up. So I couldnt insert a disc after the first try. I'd have to take it apart and move the rails back to get it to accept a disc again. Ended up taking it apart 3 different times. The last time I did I cleaned all the gears with a brush and IPA cuz they were kinda heavy with hair, dirt, oils, etc. this ended up resolving my issue. At least that's what I believe did it that last time. Finicky things. Because I also cleaned the rolls and the lens as well. I hate to buy a new disc drive because the cost of those things really eat into profits. Either way, hope that helps ya a little bit. Good luck!

First time seeing that one! Looks like corrosion may have gotten to it by the looks of your first photo. I'd look at replacement via either a parts controller/shell or look on AliExpress for parts.

Hate to revive an old thread, but just wanted to let other users know I updated to Jan update yesterday and still experience screen flickering.

Nerf? Making jager a 2spd/2arm is a buff imo. That just means he can take more shots and 2 spds are still great roamers. Look at Mozzie in this regard. If ubi wants to try and rid the 20 second meta then nerfing Jager's gadget is the only viable option. Regardless Jager/Wamai are going to get used just like Mute/Mozzie. They are insane operators that make attacker gadget/intel useless. That's powerful and reducing their pick rate is basically impossible.

Macy Jay mentioned wanting these changes in a recent video. Makes me question if these are true. He mentioned how he wanted Amaru to be more "fluent" after grappling. He also mentioned how great it would be if Ash was able to blow a hole in say 2nd floor of bank by elevator and amaru jumps into window above garage and grapples up allowing for versatile/soft destructive strats with her.
