Ps5 tablet edition

Yes please!

I’m interested too can you please post a list of part used please and would u sell the 3Dprinted case

Im interested in it also, looks good and with that oled screen

i am too very intrigued an love to try an have a go at it, after going through the video several times i think i have found an manage to make a list of all the part used the screen, display controller, the power converter an so on plus the fans heat pipes which were the easiest the hardest to find was the oled controller, now i am not an electrician i would appreciate if anyone could collaborate  on expertise on how to put all together dont wanna risk shorting anything if interested email me please at hassan.mshariff@gmail.com thanks

Hi, could you share the names of the Fans and heat pipes? Been looking all over but couldn't find them.

Thanks

I FOUND THE FANS!!!

looked at the Model Number on them in the video

023.100IU.0002 A02

They are DELL XPS 9700 Fans

@gdulli101 was up bruh. I just caught this video about a ps5 tablet and noticed the forum hasn't really taken off. Has anyone got back to you about a part list? That would really help. Let me know if you hear back from anyone about the list, searching the YouTube video minute by minute for the parts by zooming in on every screen drop hasn't given me great success:(

@juanhjay Probably better to remove your email address from that post. I'm a bit late to the party as I'm not involved in this project but that's a great way to get an inbox full of spam.

This project is so cool! Can you open source the list of modified parts? I can't wait to modify my PS5. Looking forward to your reply!

I just desperately want to know how he connected those speakers to the PS5!

I'm assuming he used the ps5's "audio over usb", as there's no other means of getting sound out of a PS5 (neither Bluetooth or analogue/digital), but for the life of me I cannot find a sound over Bluetooth board anywhere. 

I have my 5w speakers and by the looks of it, I'm going to have to buy an audio over USB speaker and dismantle it for the board, as the internet absolutely refuses to let me know what god damn board goes in any of them to get sound & power over usb. 

I don't have any experience with this projects but there are multiple options (apparently):

@marcdraco thanks pal, unfortunately that article doesn't help. They don't even seem to know that the PS5 offers Audio Over USB. 

I've asked around in other places. Hopefully someone will figure it out. 

PS5 is based on BSD Un*ix isn't it? That's probably why it has excellent support for things like that (vs. a totally in-house OS).

I'll have to get an hour and see what Matt did, see if I can figure it out.

@marcdraco 

Appreciate it dude, but having gone back and watched it again he doesn't show how he connects the speakers to the board. Theres a 30s segment on him creating a housing for the speakers then immediately goes on to him fitting the case over them. 

I already purchased the 5w drivers I want for my build, but it seems the board/amp is top secret because despite there being plenty of consumer Audio Over USB speakers, there zero information on what amps the use to power the speakers. 

Every hit I get, and every piece of advice I get, tells me to use a DAC. The problem is, EVERY SINGLE DAC seems to have the USB input, but outputs to a 3.5mm headphones jack. There doesn't seem to exist, at all, a board that has USB input and speaker terminal block output. 

Ah with you. You need amplified USB-audio like USB speakers? I’ve never seen any but I expect such a thing exists. 

I’ve got one on my desk in dire need of testing but that requires an ESP32 to make it work. 

I’ve got an MP3 player the size of a postage stamp with decent output but (similarly) it doesn’t have USB data stream in. 

@marcdraco yeah that's exactly what I need. Because, as of right now, it seems the only course is to daisy chain a DAC, which will convert the digital audio to analogue and is powered by the usb, to an amp, which will turn the analogue signal to digital for the speakers and will require it's own power source! It's madness!

Currently it looks like I'm going to have to buy a USB speaker and tear it down for the parts. Because inside these things is a PCB that gets power & audio data from a single usb and sends the signal directly to the speakers. 

What a waste of time, money & parts. 

Unfortunately that looks to be the only solution. Those little boards use a Class D MOSFET amp which is hugely efficient and can produce a fair amount of volume due to the efficiency. I wish I could be more help but sometimes you just have to get something which someone else invested time and money into designing - so they can sell it for a profit.

Taking a stab at this project, some photos of progress so far:

If anyone's interested in the items I can share what I've been able to find (mostly from Aliexpress).  Was able to test all the components (screen, speakers) generally working before starting to really take apart the PS5 and build in the new cooling components.

Regarding the audio discussion, the controller board I have comes with an audio out connector:

I was able to use the provided audio board to connect to some cheap speakers from amazon (not the best quality but it works), which then powers successfully via the onboard USB port on the console:

Currently struggling with overheating but working on it.

Next I have to figure out how to get the fans working and work on the power supply.  Still a long way to go!

Looks like an excellent start. Looking forward to seeing more.

Solved the overheating and have everything running at this point.  I ended up using 4 fans instead of 3 to help with some of the heating problems I ran into, but helps with overall noise by reducing the fan speed further.  Extremely janky right now as I don't currently have a 3D printer or any decent way of making a final casing, but it works!

@beer how did you power it? Because it was never properly explained in the video.

@beer did u nickel plate the copper base touching the liquid metal? Or did you use conventional thermal paste? And could u maybe upload a part list with parts you used for your project? I have to say it looks amazing

@rubicon in the video he used his own AC to DC 12 volt converter, and from the 12 volt he made another connection for the other output the original power supply was giving aswell, i dont remember how much volt the second one was tho

@rubicon I used the HDPLEX 250W mentioned in the video and combined most of the 12v sources, then soldered the wires directly to the motherboard's 12v source.  I ended up using a XT60 connector instead of the nicer plug that was shown in the video for simplicity's sake. It is rated up to 60A, been working well.

@vincie2000 did nickel plating like the video demonstrated.  Happy to DM a part list just let me know!

Got a 3D printer and took my first stab at making a case.  Trying to go for the new PS 30th Anniversary look. Turned out okay but will likely be making many more revisions until I get it right!

I ended up needing to upgrade to a 300W power supply as the 250W wasn't cutting it for some newer PS5 games, Astro Bot in particular.  The console occasionally would shut down randomly under load in games.

Switched to this one:

It's bulkier than the HDPlex but it's cheaper and works well.

With the console, screen, fans, and speakers combined, it peaks at 280W in some games.  The 3d print still needs some work especially on the back side, but it is starting to feel like a "real" device now!

Also if anyone's interested I'm happy to share the STL files!

Looks pretty sweet! Aldi (UK) have some nice little flat/portable monitors in at the moment in the middle isle that look good value.

Agreed! Great work there - it's so cool to see someone else take a stab at the form factor! You've done it justice with the styling. Well done!

hello please can you add the links of all parts and where did you get the screen

also did you nickel plated it ? Like the one in the video ? 

Super awesome to see the community working on these as well!
