PlayStation 5 Slim: Is there a Bluetooth antenna?

Wed, 02 Apr 2025 21:34:15 -0700

Hello! Looking to upgrade the antenna for the Bluetooth (better controller range when ps5 is stored inside a rack).

Wondering if the blue and white cable shown in the teardown video is the Bluetooth antenna

Thank you

PlayStation 5 Slim: Fan Whine has made a return.

Sat, 06 Jul 2024 02:05:49 -0700

Hey all!

I purchased a PS5 slim as a second console for my office. Unfortunately, there is a very high pitched whine resonating from the fan when starting up a game, which progressively gets louder after playing. (The console is in open space, with no vents covered).

I have taken the panel off and can see that the fan is the NMB variant. I was wondering if anybody knows of the best place to source a replacement fan? Seeing as Sony doesn't want to know.

All the best,
Liam

PlayStation 5 Slim: The HDMI port of the ps5 was replaced , and now its not turning on

Fri, 31 Jul 2026 01:11:12 -0700

Hi everyone,

I'd really appreciate some advice.

I have a PS5 Slim (EDM-040) that came in for an HDMI repair. It powered on before the repair but had no display. The HDMI area had already been damaged from a previous repair attempt, with several ripped pads/tracks and one missing capacitor.

I rebuilt the damaged traces and installed a new HDMI port. It still powered on but there was no display. After rechecking and reworking the HDMI area a few times, the console is now completely dead.

It has 12V from the PSU, but no beep, no blue light, and no fan spin.

Has anyone seen this before or can suggest what I should check next? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

PlayStation 5 Slim: PS5 Slim won't turn on after electrical surge/lightning strike

Sat, 14 Mar 2026 05:17:12 -0700

My PlayStation 5 Slim was connected to a wall outlet when a power surge occurred (lightning/electrical strike). Now the console shows no signs of life—no lights, no beeps, and it won't power on even with a different cable and outlet.

Is this likely a blown fuse in the internal power supply, or is it common for the motherboard to be damaged in these scenarios? Are there any specific test points on the PS5 Slim power supply to check for voltage?

PlayStation 5 Slim: Games crashing, only when going to online part of games.

Sat, 18 Jul 2026 19:22:50 -0700

I have a PS5 Slim Disc Edition that’s about 1.5 years old. The console works normally in the menus, and I can launch games without issue. For example, Fortnite loads into the lobby just fine, but the moment I ready up and it transitions into an online match, the console crashes with an error (I can provide the exact error code if needed). This behavior is consistent whenever the game starts an online match. I took it to a local repair shop, and they cleaned the console and inspected it. They also looked into the liquid metal/thermal side of things, but ultimately told me the console was beyond what they were able to repair and recommended sending it to Sony. Before I do that, I’m hoping to get opinions from people who repair PS5s regularly. Based on these symptoms, what hardware failure would you suspect? Does this sound more like an APU, RAM, SSD, motherboard, network chip, or another known PS5 Slim issue? If you’ve seen this exact behavior before, what ended up being the cause, and would you send it to Sony or seek out a board-level repair specialist instead?

PlayStation 5 Slim: PS5 Slim CE-108255-1 crash when joining online matches

Sat, 18 Jul 2026 19:22:50 -0700

I have a PS5 Slim Disc Edition (~1.5 years old). It works fine in menus and lobbies, but crashes with error CE-108255-1 specifically when transitioning from a lobby (like Fortnite) into an online match.

A local repair shop cleaned it and checked the liquid metal/thermals, but they couldn't find the fix and recommended sending it to Sony.

I've already tried basic software troubleshooting. Based on this specific 'crash on match start' behavior, is this likely an APU, RAM, or SSD controller failure? Has anyone seen this specific symptom on a Slim model, and did it require a full board replacement or can a specialist fix it?

PlayStation 5 Slim: Slim shows no lights, but the fan turns on?

Thu, 02 Jul 2026 10:47:46 -0700

I bought a broken ps5 slim recently that had a solid blue light for about 2 seconds before turning off. The fan ran for a second but no picture or anything. I took it apart, cleaned it, and tested the power supply which runs just fine. I figured it likely had something to do with the motherboard and just put it back together since I don’t have the tools for anything involved with that. Now I plugged it in and it shows no lights or beeps or anything, but the fan still turns on for a second. Not only that, but it only gets some power from the power cord once. I have to unplug the cord and plug it back each time I try to turn it on. I’m not sure what’s wrong or if I made the issue worse? Should I just take it to a shop at this point or can I still do something?
