We had not long time ago EDM-020 with many faults. First of course F7002 blown, next A2 IC behind it was shining under thermal camera. Once removed, WiFi module started giving a heat. Once replaced with 0.76mm balls from a 2nd PS5, we had no sure, but one more fuse with 0603 cap 22uF or 47uF as well. Only by replacing all of it, the console went back to life. I did an explanation video, but not from repair. P.s: one Polish youtuber and SteveBe told that 0.76mm are fine. But that Polish guy on his superb microscope was showing the size of 0.96mm I think those balls for the WiFi.

I have used 0.76mm and also (2) 0.6mm balls on the WIFI. On this repair, I used two 0.55mm balls as my others were in storage. It worked just fine. Thanks for watching!

Watching you do needless things after needless things was an odd experience. I was wondering if you had done this work before. Now I learned not every repair tech has the same approach. Some times 3 right turns equal a left turn.

I believe you have injected voltage into the ground side of the cap instead of the 3.3v side at 14:27 , otherwise you should find that short cap instantly without removing wifi module

had you injected the voltage to the correct point (instead of injecting it to the grounded point) you could have detected the heated cap early on

I think they used some low quality ceramic caps. It could just be a bad batch but it happens so often. I wonder if they will change suppliers after so many failures. Probably not. Sony wants to make these as cheaply as possible.

I have the same issue but board 020 in the 1.80 V rail. my mistake was I use a new thermal cam that didnot work well as my other one instead of double check with both, I confident 100% in my new one, big mistake. that show me the WIFI IC I removed it cause it was getting hot but it wasnt the culprit it was a big cap in the 1.8V nearby the SB and that line is under 200ohms and my meter show me short too in continuity mode another mistake cause was a bad reading cause was hot yet. what solder ball do you use for that WIFI IC?
