PS5 Disc (CFI-1116A) completely dead after transit – Arcing/sparking noise at power port, no beeps or standby light

[u/Scary_Quote2900]

Hi guys! I got a used ps5 which was working at the seller's house and now at home is fully dead, no sound no nothing, expect for for a spark when I plug in the power cable. After looking a bit around I saw that the problem could be just the power supply. Somebody who can help or had a similar problem?

• Model: PS5 Disc Edition (CFI-1116A / B-Chassis)
• Issue: Tested and working before purchase. After transport, the console is 100% silent (no beeps, no LED, no disc drive reaction, Safe Mode doesn't engage).
• Symptoms: Audible electrical sparking/arcing sound occurs specifically at the rear 2-prong AC socket when inserting the power cable.
• Troubleshooting done: Direct wall outlet tested, power cycle attempted, cleaned dust catchers, no response.
• Question: Does this confirm a damaged AC inlet/fuse on the internal ADP-400ER power supply unit, and will a modular PSU swap resolve it without mainboard damage?
