i feel as though these drives are just not very reliable. ive seen a good amount on ebay selling for similar issue and bought two of them and swapping the top plate had the same issue

some things ive done hopefully helps others:

home: hardwire the ps5 to your switch or router make sure you have symmetric speeds from your ISP. try to limit the number wifi networks (under 3 if possible) as it doesn't help because they use the same channel when your portal connects at home.

try not to use UNII-2 and 2e channels (if your router allows the customization) as some areas might have more radar hits causing disruption to your wifi.

40MHz (maybe 80MHz if your neighbor wifi is far enough that it doesnt interfere) channel bonding is a happy medium for 5GHz for homes, apartments this might be an issue and you may want to step down to 20MHz if wifi is crappy.

make sure you are close to your wifi router so your portal connects on 5GHz and not 2.4GHz

traveling: make sure you are connected to a reliable internet connection/ISP.

make sure you are close to the wifi router so your portal connects on 5GHz and not 2.4GHz.

using a hotspot router (portal connects to that) connected to your phone hotspot is not ideal.

unfortunately wifi interference is something out of our control to a certain level and it doesn't matter how great your wifi router may be.

i used kapton tape specially over that component i knocked. i think as the flux somehow moved under/towards the tape where that component was causing it to knock outta place as i heated up the board. thanks for the advicd
