PS5 PS5 GSOD

[WizKid]

With the PS5 experiencing the "green screen of death" and the same solder ball problems as the Xbox 360 did (albeit not as bad), who is glad that they haven't been able to get a PS5 yet?

I am.

I would've thought it would've run better considering sony themselves said it runs cooler than the ps4 in that one qa about the system.

This smells fishy, incase the PS5 had an overheat that people should realize about it easylly because the thermal sensors are going to work fine, so their fan should be spinning at veeeeeeeery high speeds
The PS5's are still under warranty, if you call to the sony support service they are going to replace the console for sure, at this point they needs to be very permisive with this console replacements because his reputation is on the table

Spoiler

Reputation = sales = money

You taught me everything i know about PS3 cooling. Do you really believe that Fans will spin fast if Temps are rising? Recall how Sony built Syscon to work silently even when Temps were very high.

For some reason, Sony in the past, made a critical flaw in PS3 to keep the system silent.

Sony's QA department dropped the ball on the PS5. They should have never let the PS5 release with this propensity to overheat and kill itself.

They never learn from the past...

Even if they used low fan speeds, incase of an overheating the fan is going to increase his speed a lot

Lets say (rought numbers, i dont realy know), in a healthy PS5 the fan could be spinning at 30%, and incase of overheating should be over 60%, thats a lot of difference in the noise levels, and the owner should realize that something is wrong
Thats the point where the owner should call sony service, and they are going to replace the console, problem solved

When a new device is released it could happen that some units are faulty, this is not so unusual
The important thing is to know how many units are having this problem, if are a lot then they have a serious problem... but if are just a few it doesnt means much

Literally every single electronic device will have hardware failures out of the box, QA can't catch everything especially since consoles are tested before they get shipped across the planet to EU or NA. The temps on the PS5 are fine, they could be better but they're by no means dangerous enough to be causing mass hardware failures.

They are having supply problems too, i remember to read they was using planes (instead of ships) to send them to different countries, and when the things are made in a hurry there is more room for problems, it would not suprise me if some units are damaged by a hit

You know... if you hit a console, his internal parts suffers the laws of physics crudely, lol
The parts with more weight (the heatsink made of metal) presents more oposition to the movement... so there is some kind of "squeeze" effect in between the more weighty parts and the others

In this case the heatsink is very firmly attached to the APU so the APU moves with it (but the motherboard moves with the plastic case), and as a consequence the area with the maximun stress of that "squeeze" effect is the BGA solder balls under the APU
Or well.. all that area in between the heatsink, APU, and the motherboard surface, this is where is concentrated all the damage when the console falls to the floor

That sounds right. A console falling from the table or taking a significant bump can cause major damage specially to BGA chips. PS5 does have a massive heatsink that is tightly attached to its Motherboard. Any sudden stress on chassis will definitely transfer on heatsink which will further transfer the stress to Motherboard components (APU, SSD controller etc) with which its tightly glued with. All it takes is one microscopic crack to one solder ball of BGA to screw up things.

Its probably called creative financial management....lol
