What are these power stages for and can it be repaired

Hi

I managed to release the magic smoke out of my ps5. I can't remember exactly what happened since it was a while ago. Anyway it now has the powers on for two seconds with blue light then switches off fault.

I somehow managed to trace the fault to the area circled in red. All stages but the last two are shorted. I checked in diode mode across each of the capacitors, everyone of them except the last two (bottom) are shorted.


My plan was to remove them one by one and see if the short on each of them disappears. I am hoping it's not the smd ic next to the caps because thats beyond my skill set.

Anyway I can't seem to desolder the cap off. I managed to get one side off but the otherside won't budge. I don't want to use hot air because am inexperienced and there are very very tiny smd components on the other side. What am I doing wrong?

What is this area for anyway?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Yes No

@steven69601 not enough heat to desolder the caps will get you into trouble and you'll rip the traces and solder pads. You can use a soldering iron but you will need plenty of heat as well as flux and a desoldering wick or solder sucker to get it done. Anyhow, where does all that white powdery substance come from? what is that?
