PS5 Crashes when starting any game

Hello,

Been trying to fix this issue for a while. Whenever i start any games, the console freezes and turn it self off. If I instantly turn the console on again after a crash, the crash can occur already when booting up the console.

Ive tried

  • Changed the liquid metal twice. Made sure to polish the APU to mirrorclear as it actually was quite corroded.
  • Cleared all fans and power supply from dust.
  • Done all recommended software settings such as hdmi device link, factory reset and more.

UART error codes:

808B00FF - SSD
B0088108 - Sonic bus
C0020303 - Main soc, APU not responding
80000009 - unexpected powerloss

PS5 Standard Edition model CFI-1216A

Please feel free to ask any questions in order to guide me in the right direction. All and any help is appreciated.

Hi!

I’m afraid this is APU related…

Did you checked for shorts? Would do that first.

Anyway, I’m afraid that you need to replace the APU here to get it fully working again.

SSD is less likely as it does work in the menu, it’s able to factory reset and you can install games on it without experiencing issues…

I cannot tell 100% that this is it, but looks like it.

First, check for shorts on the board, and see how that goes!

Sorry for the bad news..
