Sony did a terrible job when designing the PS5's circuitry this time around. The smallest surge can kill it (assuming you don't use a surge protector, which you should do for all valuable electronics of course), causing shorts that can kill components practically all over the motherboard. I've seen many that short the SSD controller, the APU itself, some that short the wifi IC, some that kill the PSU or the PWM IC, shorted RAM chips, some that kill the BIOS chip, etc etc etc
Some of them are easily fixable, like the BIOS chip which is generic and can be swapped and flashed, and sometimes reballing the APU will fix the short there, but things like the SSD controller are specific and you'll only ever find pulled chips which have terrible/inconsistent quality.
Hopefully the Slim will fix some of these issues, even the stock PS4 didn't have these types of issues at launch.
