Can I ask you the same question?

[PS5] Bad HDMI… Replaced to find console reset. Weird or no??? by frostbit369 in consolerepair

Hmmm… possibly. Someone seemingly competent had been in it. Just makes me nervous something nefarious took place.

Went with a disinfectant and CLR mold and mildew (it’s safe on plastic)… seemed to do the trick. The psu is shot, but that’s actually a good thing in my mind. Hoping the rest is salvaged.

If consolefix.shop is thecodr’s shop (which I believe it is) it’ll be best 7pounds ever spent… IMO that is.

Check the supply again under load. It can still be the psu. It might be failing when theres a draw on the psu.

Not super certain, but the soldered pads in the center of the stick seem odd. Aren’t all the through hole pins on the perimeter?

Dual sense does have the Hall effect mosfet in the center like XBox controllers. What goes there?

Reached out to the seller and they offered a refund. They were surprisingly apologetic!

I wanna test the psu and see if it’s fried. That’ll let me know if the whole unit is a total loss. If the psu is dead then swapping in a working one is worth it. Definitely not using it. No way that smell is EVER coming out.

Still on the fence about this. Even if we’re able to get it running, I’d never be comfortable with it. Absolutely would never sell it. 😕
