Mine says 100V~ 4.2A 50/60Hz on the outside but I know Sony usually uses the same multi-voltage PSU globally and just changes the external label. I need to use it on 220V (Argentina) and want to confirm the PSU, which I assume is ADP-420DR, inside says 100-127V / 200-240V before plugging it in.

A photo of the PSU label would be amazing. Thanks!

I just got a brand new PS5 Pro and I’m experiencing a really annoying issue. Most of the time when I turn it on, I hear a high-pitched shriek coming from the console literally the moment it powers on. When I launch games, the high-pitched noise continues, and sometimes it even stays for a couple of minutes after I shut the console down.

From what I understand, this might be coil whine. I was told that since the noise starts immediately when the console powers on, it might be coming from the power supply (PSU) rather than the usual GPU/VRAM coil whine. Supposedly PSU coil whine can sometimes be fixed by replacing the PSU, but it’s basically a lottery between units.

So I’m wondering:

• Has anyone else experienced this with a PS5 or PS5 Pro?
• Did it get better over time?
• Would replacing the PSU at a repair lab be worth trying, or is it just a gamble and a waste of money?

This noise is honestly ruining the experience for me, but interestingly most people I’ve shown it to say they don’t hear the high-pitched sound at all.

Any advice or experiences would really help.

Has anyone figured out the connections for UART on the PS5 Pro VSM-010 motherboard?

How would I go about trying to figure out which of the UART connections on the motherboard are the TX, RX and Ground?

Thanks

Anyways, this was to be a bad HDMI with torn Pads that he removed and said he didn't have the time to repair it and I got it for $250.

I got the unit and indeed he took it all apart and had a plastic shopping bag with all the small loose parts along with all the screws. (I hope)

I was able to install a new HDMI and amazingly there weren't any torn pads to repair.

I put back together enough to test to see if HDMI will work and I don't have anything happen when I press the On button. No Beeps or Fan spin.

I checked the voltage at the power supply and it was 12v.

I checked all around the b side of the VSM-010 mobo and found the 12v rail.

I guess what I asking is that are there any other voltage rails on the b side of the VSM-010 board to check on the 5v or 3.3v? knowing that the 3.3v is needed for the Southbridge to start up.

or

Are all the other voltages are checked on the A side ?

The PS5 Pro is an Enigma right now as there isn't to much out there as its to new yet for repairs beside tear downs to do HDMI ports and cleanings.

Thank you for your time.
