Hi,

does someone tried to swap RAM modules from different manufactures (Samsung <> Micron)?
I have two defect PS5 (EDM-010 and EDM-020).
I suspect the ram at the EDM-020 to be faulty. Now I want to replace the ram modules and I'm wondering if I can use the ram ics from the other faulty EDM-010.

I've heard folks swap from micron to Samsung, the Samsung appear to have less failure. But the swaps were of all the chips, meaning all micron on board to all samsung or vice versa. So it's not clear whether one can mix up the chips on the same board.

If the ram is replaceable with the other brand, I would replace all eight modules. But I know from other pcbs there is a kind of jumper strukture to give the controller ic info about the soldered modules. But here I'm not sure if it is about the brand or just different timings. And as the struktur around the ram ics looks total different from EDM-010 and EDM-020 I'm not sure, where to look.
Maybe there is someone with a EDM-020 board with Micron ram ics. Or a EDM-010 with Samsung ram ics.

This is the video swapping micron ram to SEC and board works without further BOM hack.

FYI , that's a ED-03x board


That guy is a genius, watched all his videos. What does "BOM hack" mean? I have a board that I will be attempting a ram swap.

Now I saw the video the second time and pay attention to the brands of the ram ics, my question is answered. :)

Can you tell me based on what measurements you decided to swap the RAM? I have a 2 Sec BLOD device here with every voltage is okay. On power up the GPU and RAM gets warm and then it shuts down.

Furthermore after that it will have a beep without light. After that again a beep with light, GPU and RAM after 1-2 sec off

The ps5 in question has a long BLOD. Most voltages are ok. The only thing I could find is one voltage reading at one test point which is off (red marking) in comparation to other boards.
I assumed that it is related to the ram ics, but i I think it is not, because I couldn't find a matching pad under the ram ics (I checked this on a donor board without ram ics).

Hi again. I now have a console where I have to swap all eight modules to Samsung. Sadly I have no suitable stencil here. Does anyone knows the spec, which bga and which spacing is needed for PS5?

    @Xdqwerty there is health behaviour you can add to your character, then to use a health bar is lil more complicated, google n watch a few tutorial video on it, be too hard to explain here.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, the character has the health behavior
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I know you have to create a health and health max variable. Then there is a calculation you use in code to subtract width size of the health bar. Google few vids.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, the "greenflatbar" is one of the preset health bars btw
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea you can use any bar/sprite. It will just change the width. Ok good luck and have fun. I'm off to go shoot some pool at the bar. Talk to you later.

    @BigOnYa, why does the health behavior exist if you can just use a variable?
