Weird problem. I've got a ps5 disc with no display however the console gets to a solid white light and appears to be boot fine and getting to safe mode without any issue (getting to safe mode blind, I've got a recording of the menus from another ps5)
So far I've replaced the HDMI port as it did look like one of the pins had broken however that wasn't the case and it was the plastic of the hdmi port sitting at an angle out of place. I checked the original port for shorts and found none but I haven't checked the new one (I'll do this when I disassemble it again).
I can get the console to safe mode and have tried all the options apart from resetting via usb stick or updating and all of them appear to do exactly what they're meant to do but the display has not come back.
I can get the console to the home screen (still no display) and sleep it so everything underneath appears to be working fine.
So what to try next? New HDMI encoder? I would have thought if it was dead I'd have got a boot failure.
Just looking for some ideas as it's a bit of a weird case.
