i have a playstaton 5 that doesn't power up because the firmware update was interrupted. does anyone have a dump for it? -
Any one can help me on CF-19 MK6 BIOS
LOCKED WITH BIOS PASSWORD. TRIED THE MK4 won't work.
attached is the back up one with password.... -
I was brought the computer as it showed no sign of life. Upon opening it I immediately noticed liquid damage in at least one critical spot.
I got rid of J6100 and cleaned/reflowed the other spots. C5126 was broken and as a result it's now missing from the board (should I replace it before investigating further?).
I didn't take a picture of the bottom as there was nothing to see in particular aside from mild corrosion on R5100, which I cleaned and I also made sure that it measures ~100kΩ.
As far as I can tell, everything appears to be in order... -
Device history > Bit of liquid damage, that I cleaned up and sorted out all bad components.
Current state > No Boot. No charge. It negotiates 20v on all USBC ports, and will even PD charge out – so all of the USBC circuit is probably ok. I have 3.3V + 5V ALWP present and stable. PCH has its 3V,1.8V,1V. On the board, PCH,EC,ISL,PD chips are all powered on and active. Power button has 3V, board is being signalled by it but not responding. I have 20V USBC in OK, I have a 12.6V main power rail ok. The battery was undervolt dead, so had to manually charge each cell individually... -
As this is a brand new forum, I thought I'd open up a thread to encourage new members to introduce themselves a bit.. now hey.. let's not get too personal.. ok ?
And if you wouldn't mind to keep this thread \"clean\" let's try to keep the the chitchat (i.e. even the welcome to the board replies) to a minimum or this thread may get to 100 pages fast
So I'll start things off :
My name is petabyte and I'm a forum junkie. :oops:
I've been off the wagon for a number of years and countless times I've tried to stop but it's useless.....
