5 given 5 filled correctly 53 wrong, with the right digit 3 left empty

The end of its reply

I solved it by hand, using candidate elimination and one branch on which cell holds the 5 in box 4 (the middle-left box). That branch filled the whole grid with no conflicts, and I checked every row, column and box afterwards. I did not test the other branch, but the puzzle is stated to have a unique solution.
