*Description*
If your PS5 won’t power on, shows no lights, or randomly shuts off without overheating or loud fans, the power supply is a likely culprit. In this step-by-step guide, I’ll show you how to safely disassemble your 2022 PlayStation 5 (CFI-1200 series), remove the original ADP-400FR power supply unit, and install a compatible replacement to fix “no power” issues.
This video applies to CFI-1200A, CFI-1202A, CFI-1208A, CFI-1215A, CFI-1216A, and CFI-1218A models. If your code ends with B (Digital Edition), this guide still works. If you have an older CFI-10xx / CFI-11xx PS5, use my separate power supply repair video: youtu.be/ruZWn56LkWg
I’ll cover how to remove the faceplates, fan, optical drive, antennas, motherboard and heatsink assembly, safely disconnect the old PSU, and install the new ADP-400FR power supply. I’ll also show how to route Wi-Fi antennas, reconnect all ribbon cables, reassemble the case, and test the console under load.

🌟FAQ:
❓Question: How do I know if my PS5 power supply is bad and not the motherboard?
✔️Answer: A failing PSU often causes no lights at all, or the console briefly lights up and then shuts off instantly with no overheating symptoms or loud fan. If the console never reaches the home screen and you don’t hear fans ramping, the power supply is a strong suspect.
❓Question: What if my PS5 still won’t turn on after replacing the PSU?
✔️Answer: Double-check all ribbon cables, antenna leads, and power connectors. Make sure the motherboard is fully seated on its metal prongs and no screws are missing. If the console still shows no power, the issue may be on the motherboard or power button circuitry and will require deeper diagnostics.
