I am repairing some PS5 console with common beep - no power issue. I quickly measured common locations for shorts and I think I found one, but I'm not really sure if it's a short or is intended behaviour. It's near Dialog DA9081 power management chip, where an inductor (at least I think it is) is connected from what it looks like to me a common connection of pins 21, 22, 23 and 24 - although I find this very strange, as 21 and 22 are analog inputs, 24 is positive voltage terminal and 23 is analog ground. The other side of this inductor is shorted to ground, but there are clearly some capacitors so I think there should not be a short. Before I remove the chip I would like to hear your opinion.
I removed this what I think was inductor and took a shot with my microscope. Rectangle is where inductor was and I marked the X spot where I'm measuring against ground. I must say that short is only measured if I put positive probe to X and negative to ground. If I reverse it, I don't get a short.

BTw, anyone would know what value is this inductor so I can replace it once I find a defect?
Thanks

I didn't want to buy back a new consoles and my games. Since modern TVs don't have the PAL vs NTSC limitation anymore I would like to be able to use it, but I need to use an external step up transformer which is bothering, so I wondered if it would be doable to find a 120V power board and replace mine with it, so it can actually run naturally, or if components inside other than the power board makes that impossible?

Thank you for your help!

Actually it read a few times when the device was warm to the touch around 1200-900 ohms on the CD pot (not sure exactly the resistance because i didnt know how to use the multimeter). It worked once at 840 on restart but not again.

Ive done alot of test, audioCDs work but the ps1 game doesnt work, ive tried 930, 860, 840, 760 and 700ohms audioCD work every time but the ps1 game doesnt. It always loads up the memory card menu when it fails, and stays spinning on consistent speed even after it fails, so its reading the disc but fails?

Bought a PS5 someone had kinda misled me on but anyways, disc version non-slim, wouldn't update or accept discs, looked up the error code, all connections to the disc drive looked okay so that led me to the conclusion the drive had failed/needed to replace it

I replaced the drive, made sure to transfer the board from the old drive to it, put everything back together, and there was no response from the eject button, reseated the ribbon a couple times and now the eject button is back to functioning but... it still doesn't accept discs on new drive

no sounds, no whirring, no response from the button, is it as simple as getting a new ribbon cable or like what does my problem sound like? someone please help

I am stuck on this screen. I have tried four different cables, went out and bought a new one, three different controllers, tried the reset button, clearing the cache, but it will not connect. The USB port works because it charges my phone when I plug it in. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
