This video shows the tell-tale signs of a PS4 BLOD caused by a PSU Failure. We open the Delta ADP-240AR Power Supply Unit from this PS4 to find a failed transformer. We repair the transformer fault and get this PS4 back in the land of the living and ready to game once more!
at 26:10 - 26:19 thank you. I am learning from you at all with my 48 years. I started reparing ps4 three years ago like a hobby. 3 are gone. the rest 40+ are working due to your help. Thank you from Germany !
those PSU's can be dangerous, the caps hold enough energy to seriously burn or blow a chunk off the tip of your finger, ask me how i know lmao. i had the pattern of the pins burned into my finger for a couple weeks, and that was AFTER i (thought) i discharged them fully with a screw driver, cant imagine how bad it would have been at full power...
You should leave it to the pros bro.
Good tip reminder! Alot of people think it's all fun and games working on these stuff and they don't want to pay.
Thank you so much Andrew, my ps4 fat gave the brod today. i watched your video, took apart the power supply. cleaned all the contacts with IPA and used a hair dryer on all the solders. PS4 came back to life afterwards. You are the champ!
Nice work! :)
Excellent video. The side by side comparison of symptoms is brilliant since they behave fairly similarly. That part of your video told me I had a PS issue so I kept watching to see how to pull it out and troubleshoot it. Imagine my surprise when I looked at the transformer and found it in the exact same state as the one in your video... slightly raised from the board, both wires pulled off the pins. I'm an electronics tech so I'll be taking these parts to work tomorrow to use our soldering bench to try to make the same repair you did. I'll report back with the results.
+Timothy Collier Hi mate - many thanks. I'm sure you'll fix it when you get it all reattached. Good luck! :-)
+Timothy Collier -- A year later, how'd it go, Timothy? Well, I hope!
When the visual inspection turned out good and there's nothing bad-looking, the first thing to do is to check the fuse for continuity. Easy to replace and quite often the reason why you have a completely dead system. Oh, and on the Slim it's also probably a good choice to check if the power button board is actually connected. I had a Slim where it wasn't. And I was the first one to open it up. System acts completely dead (I didn't check if I could start it with a controller), I opened it up, took the PSU apart, checked everything I could think of with my multimeter, swapped over another PSU, still nothing. Was annoyed that I had to take it apart (the PS4 slim has way too many screws), turned it around and saw that somehow that stupid ribbon cable from the power button board had come lose. Plugged it back in, PS4 works perfectly.
Right on thats exactly what I figured out on a power supply I just worked on!! Love repairs and getting stuff fixed 😁 you rock dude
Thanks. You helped me identify the problem. Replaced the power module and it works fine... Thanks a lot...
Sir call me 9789992828
That's what I'm about to do cause that's the only problem it could be
Guys, if you cleaned your PS4 and have a problem getting the PS4 to turn on or it turns on then off, you may have put the power supply back in
wrong. Make sure the two long metal pieces are straight and not bent to where it reaches the power brick. Not placing it back in correctly also
may make it hard to put the other plastic back on and difficult to put the screws back in the PS4. Went through this myself. Hopes that's the
case and you too can save your money.
Had one come in once, where one of those prongs was bent against the other and they both were in the same hole in psu. All I needed to do was bend it back straight and the machine came alive.
Tysm!! when that happened to me it scared the living crap out of me bc the power supply failed once before but it doesn't seem to be the case and now my ps4 is working fine.
Lol. Nearly a thousand channel views? I think you smashed that record. Keep up the good work.
Many thanks :-)
you my sir are a beast, fair play too you, give up the good work.
Mine was more like on the right.Now it's completely done.No light & no sound at all.Went to the game shop earlier dude was saying it could be the motherboard & quoted $150 to repair.Ridiculous.Without even bother dismantling & checking.Any idea what's wrong with my ps4?
had this issue a centipede climbed into the back of my ps4 into power supply....removed it cleaned ps4 and its working perfectly up to today :)
Hello! My power supply is the same model, but it sometimes works, and sometimes not. I measured diode D21 with a multimeter and it did not show a closed circuit. Is it normal?
Mine is no doubt a sibling of the gal on the right. I have a 1215a, and have sent it in twice. This will be the third. I keep getting the same system back,even after explaing that i build computers for a living, and know that the repair is not your everyday hard drive or software swap. What has me completely stumped is that mine will 80% of the time repeat the blue flick to dead, and depending on the amount of time from last unsuccessful attempt to full boot the system will operate longer. Overheating somewhere initially was the suspect, but was ruled out when the blue flick evolved and can shutdown the system within 2 minutes even after days of sitting disconnected. But the damn thing decided to totally mindf..K me yesterday.I got the blue flick,dead,but got a full boot after 4 to 5 back to back replug attempts! Now the strange part is that its still running now! Matter of fact, im using it to post this message. Im totally stumped, and starting to think my system has become aware!!!! Just joking, what would you do with this strain of the blue flick?
Thanks sir, you help me identify my problem, you're the man!
Good evening I have the same problem as your left ps4, it turns on and then turns off 2 seconds after. I opened it but I am not the transformer wires that are desoldered. So do you think that it also comes from the trasformer too? The ADP-240CR power supply model
Hi Andrew, I have a ps4 CUH-1001a and turns on and off in a second. I did hear two clicks on the power supply unit ans turns off and no DC, power and eject button doesnt work and I hve to unplug it 2-3 times and works back again. What should it be?
I have a 1116A wich do the same as yours, in my case is the psu, but i don't know whats the problem becouse the psu looks ok, but if i test that psu in another ps4 does the same.
My PS4 slim was off, just a beep when trying to connect, no video, no cooler spinning, no going into safe mode, I did not accept disks. Nothing worked.
So I put the motherboard of ps4 in the heated oven at 200 degrees for 15 minutes, and now it responds, accepts and ejects the disk, synchronizes the control via bluetooth but does not give video and blue light pulsates. I have read in some places that may have relation with the PSU ... Have you ever picked up a case where the console pulsates blue, but does not give video and does not enter safe mode?
Champion, i had the same issue on a ADP-240CR but it was the marginally smaller transformer next to the 2 big main caps. my guess the console took a tumble? as it actually broke the transformer in half on the bottom on one side of the 3 poles that attach to the board. 1 single core wire broke away from one of the poles, shorted out and took out the Q5 mosfet and the fuse together. replaced those and all working sweet again.
Anthony Boccardo i have the same transformer with half disconbected. I wanted to repair but not sure which wires go where. Any good images i can maybe compare or do you have a part source?
My 1206 would turn on will check hard drive and shut off. I ran it on ATX supply and it was working. I have bad power supply right?
Ps4 slim power supply got smoked while im playing but i opened it i dont see any burn marks or explode components?? Hope for ur reply thanks..
I have a PS4 doing the thing on the left, weird part is that I've replaced the motherboard with a working one, and it's still the same issue.
I have the same power supply. Ps4 starts normal, but if i turn it off and try to start again, it shows the blue light, cklicks and goes off. After that i cant start the ps4 until i unplug the power cable, wait a time and put it back in. After that the ps4 starts normal. Do you have an idea? Psu looks good, no faulty places on first look
Hello! My ps4 has the same issue like the right ps4 in your video were when I turn it on, blue light comes on for a split second, heard two clicks then shuts off so I knew it was a power supply issue and bought a new power supply but I was wondering why my ps4 still does the two clicks and shuts off after replacing it with the new one? Can it be just the new power supply that I bought is also defective or maybe something's wrong with the motherboard?
Very helpful. Now I know my PS4 has a PSU problem. Will try and replace it now. Thanks!
You're welcome.
hey did it worked for u? :)
Hey my ps4 turns on for a sec and turns off I don’t hear a click and I can’t turn it back on until I unplug it and plug it back up then I can power it back up but then turns back off
andrew, i have problem with my ps4 cuh1000a. while playing game, it's shut down suddenly. can you give me diagnose with this issue?
thank You ! ihave my PS4 dont run at all , I m testing the power supply module and find 12v output is not present, also find this transformer You worked seems overheated. tell me something, the four thick pins of my transformer all have continuity, and the three of the other side have continuity only the 1st and 3rd, but not the center, is this normal or need to take out this transformer to test it? also ask you how much voltaje should be present at this transformer?
please can you help me I applied the noise fix to my PS4 but while doing so I snapped off the connection which is brown black and white please show me a way to fix this
Hi Andrew,
Thanks so much for your videos! I'm blown away by the way you can fix hardware issues as good as in factories.
I currently have a BLOD issue which first seems to be a motherboard issue (2sc blue light, hard drive noise, fan start working, then I can "switch off" the console (i know it thanks to the beep) and switch it on again).
However, I tested the power supply with a multimeter and the main output (where the two long spikes plug), deliver 2V instead of 12V.
Did you get the same voltage during your tests?
Many thanks again!
No it should show 12v but only very briefly on a 2 second BLOD - if it powers off after a couple of seconds depending on your multimeter it may not refresh quickly enough to show the short spike which could explain why you're only seeing 2v. By all means though try a different PSU if you have one to hand but I think yours will be an APU issue. Cheers.
Any idea where I can get this specific part, mines busted needs replaced.
Sometimes my PS4 behaves like the one on the left, but other times I am able to power on normally. All menu functions/internet browsing/downloads work at this point. However, when loading games, the ps4 display immediately turns off. The PS4 is still powered on with a white light, just no display. I am thinking this is also a PSU issue, as the increased power demand to the graphics card crashes it. Thoughts?
My PS4 will not connect to the tv and will keep blinking blue and if II apply pressure to where the power supply is located it will turn on and i'll be able to play games and run other apps but it will only be on for like an hour or 2 what is wrong with mine is that a power supply issue? Please help I do not want to waste money and it still doesn't work thanks!
Nicely done sir,I am learning big lessons from u,thank u for this video
My console beeps 3 times and has the blod every time I turn it on and it will stay with pulsing blod until I hold the power for 8 secs or so. Any ideas on what can be causing this?
Hello Andrew Paul, I am from Argentina and I have a problem with a PS4 ADP-240AR source where I turn on the console, it is raising the system for a few seconds, it automatically turns off by clicking on the source. With my multimeter check the arrival of 220v, 5v. The capacitors, the smallest gives 300v and the largest 307v, the fuse has continuity, the resistors too. However I do not have 12v, will it be because of the DNP012A chip?
Thank you for your videos and training us, I await your response and can help you in whatever you need.
I've had PS4 and Ps4 Slims come in lately that are completely dead. APU reflow, new PSU or anything else I have tried has worked. Wondering what you're thoughts are on this problem?
Have you seen it? Fixed it? Know what causes it? Cheers
thanks a million! same thing happened to my ps4 yesterday! I know the problem! thanks!
Very interesting .Thanks a lot .Happy Xmas
Good day Andrew Paul :) I know what you said in the beginning of the video, but i just wanted to ask anyway > My ps4 has that clicking sound and then it switches off, Should i replace the power supply? Thanks *)
Nice one Andrew. It would be nice if they were all that direct.
Thanks for sharing bro very well rounded video thanks
What is it on ps4 slim v4 if the blue light stays on but no picture
Hi. Need some info please. A mosfet 24n60m2 is there an alternative to it and where would I find one and in what. Thank you. Stay safe
Great videos.last night I picked up a faulty ps4 that has been dropped. It powers up for about 5 seconds, no fan but shuts off with a click noise. I'm going to take a look inside the psu later but a y thoughts for now?
Hello every one ... i had a priblem with my ps4 slim ...they power in blu light flashing them white light and no video !! i try everithing bud noching helps ... please help me ... thanks in advace ❤❤
You are doing great keep up with the video and good work
This was an excellent video mate. Very helpful
Glad you liked it
@@AndrewPaul Hey man sorry to ask but where do you think I could find ps4 controller batteries ??
Hello, excellent video. I am trying to repair the ADP-240CR source for ps4, I don't know the differences between the one you repair in the video and the one I am trying to repair. It would have the schematic of the ADP-240CR. They are very similar but I need the schematic. In my case, the source does not turn on or bridge pins 1 and 3 of the connector. Thank you
i have a the same problem as the one on the left can you help me with it?
always helpful, another great video
Hello sir
I need help....
I have ps4 pro power supply....not power on,
I find out two components are defective,
1. STD3N62K3 N MOSFET
2. One of SMD Zener diode (zener diode location number on PCB (ZD39)
Problem is I can not find any value of this zener diode,
if you know something about that value of zener diode or if you recommend something equal please help,
Appreciated.
Thank you very much
Cheers 🍻 from Denmark 🇩🇰
Hi, i need help for my ps4.
When i try to turn on the ps4 make 1 beep n stay off like ps4 left side in this video , when i try again my ps4 turn on with blue led and after 5 secs turn off again, when i try again my ps4 turn on with light led and stay on. Signal is off all time :( i try to replace the secondary caps but still no work. How can i fix it? Sorry my bad eng
The problem is in the psu or main? Or both? :(
Any idea for my PS4 Turing on and blinking blue until I actually turn off, like no click then off. Just acts like it's on but blinks blue?

I’m from thailand thanks so much For VDO i like it
What's caused the PS failure at the first place? Did the user do something wrong that caused it? Or is this an existing problem with the power supply! My son's PS4 just 2 weeks (brand new), had the same problem (BLOD). So disappointed!!!!!
+Jenny Nguyen I think it was dropped which caused the transformer to jump. Still going strong this machine :)
hey. quick question. just bought a ps4 for 50$ and it's not powering on. when you press power button it stays on for a second and you can hear a faint beep and off. I'm going to remove the power supply and test it on my fluke. any other ideas ?
+Jonathan Pope Only ever had one of these reported but by the time I got it, it wasn't doing this any more so never got the chance to get to the bottom of it sadly.
+Andrew Paul . I'm wondering if it's worth even checking the power supply. this is a refurbished from gamestop so I'm wondering what the original problem was
Hi Andrew great video. I have followed your steps and one of my psu is broken. the other one works and what i have noticed is when apply weight on the console upside down it works but as soon as released the weight console switches off... does it mean reballing of apu or something different i need to look at?Thanks
+Maciej Pytlik It depends where you're having to push it but if it's towards the centre on the left hand side as you have it upside down then yes most likely a reball would be required. Cheers.
hi, when cleaning up my ps4 i accidentally rip off the power supply socket from the motherboard is there any way to fix this because my console does not power on anymore any help will be very apreciated
+rajeshree sungalee Hi there, is the socket missing from the motherboard side (with the pins) or the power supply side (with the sockets)? To be honest the likelihood is that some serious damage has occurred to the board because these things usually take a decent amount of pressure before they give way. I'd be tempted to take / send it to a professional for repair if you're not used to this kind of work because if the power rail has been pulled into ground then bad things will happen. Do you have any pictures of the damage anywhere? Cheers, Andy.
My ps4 has the same sympton, but it's not a transformer. Can it be the DNP015 IC? There was a roach right there! I've removed and tested the zener diodes and they're ok... I'm pretty sure is the PSU.
+freakpunker it's possible - the DNP015 is a watchdog IC for the entire supply so if this is stuffed then you may end up with issues.
How do I fix the Blue Light of Death? Please help I just want to play ps4 again Im currently on spring break and times running out
+J-Abaya APU reball only is the answer in many cases. Get it professionally checked out.
Hi,
I need Block Diagram/Schematic Diagram for the power supply, any idea where I could find one?
+OMOLADE AFOLABI they'll be tightly locked away in Sony's vault - no schematics have leaked yet as far as I'm aware.
When are you going to get a remote microphone my friend ?? I am Fascinated by your videos as I am learning how to repair game machines, but to hear you is real tough.
Mine will turn on, then turn of about a second after, no sounds, and it can't turn off after it. I have to unplug the power cord then plug it in. PLEASE HELP!!
Replace the PSU and you should be good to go. Cheers.
Cloud Beatz was it the psu?
Just curious, since transformer lives upside down and just hangs off of pins which are friction fit only, why didn't you apply epoxy to pins to hold them in place, or put any adhesive or tape under transformer to hold it to pcb, and thus keep this problem from re-occuring?
+john browne Hi there, it isn't - it is linked to those pins via two leads soldered onto them. It was these leads giving way which enabled the transformer to become dislodged when it was impacted. It is a tight fit otherwise so isn't really required. Cheers.
+Andrew Paul The only thing holding the transformer to the pcb is the pins, which are press/friction fit only. An impact caused the pins to slide out of transformer, which pulled solderer wires loose. A dab of adhesive or double sided tape under the transformer would take some weight off the pins, and maintain a "factory" look if that is important.
Great episode. Could you tell me what the value of C24 and the one diagonally above it is?
hello Andrew Paul I get the the same as the one on the right but if I check voltage on ps4 power supply I get 12 volts with a slow drop to nothing could this be something else besides powers supply
+jesse hill hi Jesse, that's normal behaviour for a BLOD - if you can power cycle the machine without unplugging and plugging it back in then you've most probably got an APU fault.
Hi Andrew,
Your video is excellent! Thank you very much for this. My PS4 is behaving like the one on right but it's completely my from a series of wired behaviour. First it didn't reboot after updates, but I could turn it on and off manually. Then it didn't turn on at all but if unplug the main and wait 30 seconds it did and now it's behaving like the one on the right. I tried to give it a little shake and few bumps it worked for a bit and then nothing. This let me think something mechanical was faulty I.e some wire that when off or something. I hope Ned the psu but from a visual inspection all seems fine. What are your thought? How can I properly test the PSU. I have some electronics experience so I know my way around multimeters and soldering iron. Can it be the DNP015 ic in this case too?
Many thanks
i have a PS4 that first Runned, but if i Put in my HDD then i had only Blackscreen now the Console has Half Minute COnstand Blue light, not Blinking and Shuts down
After I changed thermal pads and paste, my ps4 won't turn on. Also I sprayed power supply and big bunny dust came out. First I press power button beep no lights and nothing, then I press power button beep and blue light for sec. Fan won't start up so I guess it might be power supply!
Hi great video, I'm going to subscribe. My Ps4 clicks twice as well with 2 of the LEDs lit of the board. I took out the power supply and the heat shield is discolored as if the power supply got very hot at some point. It also smells like it had been hot. So I'll by a new one, hope I don't waist my cash!
Hi, mate!
First of all, you are brilliant! Definitely you know how to repair.
I'm from Serbia and I really need some advice from you.
What can this be: I need to press couple of times power button to turn my ps4 on. When it's turned on, the blue light blinks (BLOD), no image on tv.
What can this be? Is this the PSU or something else?
Thank you!
My ps4 is 7 years old and had the same symptoms of the right ps4, and yes, a new psu fixed it
Great to hear!
What is the code of the ic near to the transformer (top)
Bro, excelente video. Can tour tel me the voltages of the transformator. I tino mine its broken and i can't find a replacement
Yep my ps4 is having psu issues. So easy to repair. Got china on the phone and got a brand new psu on the way for $17
hey andrew i have a 500gb ps4 and its got the BLOD after a power outage. it doesnt go off after a few seconds like the other consoles with BLOD do but stays on for quite a while. what could be the problem?
This is a general error condition - all you know is that something is halting the boot process. It could literally be anything (rarely APU in my experience).
ok i see. but just in case you bumped into any console with a similar problem, the machine does not go off on its own. it stays on permanently until i switch it of myself. thanks alot btw
Hi Andrew, my ps4 for a couple of months now has been turning off after an hours use or so. Been advised by sony that its a psu issue, as my socket on the back of my console is damaged. The psu also gets very hot whilst im using it, so ive opened it up to have a look to see whats going on but i have no clue lol! Im going to get a new one online, just wondered if you had any advice? Also, do you fix consoles for a fee? Thanks!
+hollsterround I'd just get a new one ordered mate for what they cost. I offer a limited number of repair slots per month via eBay for UK/EU based consoles for mail-in. Cheers.
My PS4 has the same problem on the left not the right about the power supply. How do I fix the left
PS4?
+J-Abaya APU reball only I'm afraid - that's going to need professional attention.
Idk if anyone can help me, my ps4 has been doing the same thing the ps4 on the left does for a while... i usually leave it for a day powered off and it works fine but i have to factory reset it. But it works, now one day i plug in my external hard drive and it instantly shuts off and never turns on again(left ps4’s behavior again)... its been like 3 weeks nothing. Any suggestions? Theres a repair guy i know but he’s overcharging to diagnose it. He also said all he can fix are power supply issues and i know it’s not my power supply. Any support would be greatly appreciated
What model PS4 is this one?
This is what mine is doing except mine makes three clicks instead of two. I wonder if it's the same thing
It's possible.
You got really good videos. My problem is similar but it isn't the psu. When I turn the ps4 on the blue light shines one time, the fan starts and then the psu sounds like the psu in the video (klick) and the ps4 go off. When I now push the power button the ps4 shut really off. Do you now what the problem could be?
+HJHMusik 95% of the time an APU Reball will fix that.
Awesome video Paul. I thought my problem was BLOD but it's not. We had a electrical household power surge the TV went and the PS4. I thought it was the power supply and bought one on Amazon a ADP-240CR 4 pin. Replaced the old with the new no light a slight beep and nothing after. So I'm not sure what else it could be. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Cpu is dead
Thanks so your video im modding visual and repair Ps3 and Ps4 maybe i cant looking photos my work and modification
Mine stays blue forever and won't connect to tv.
What type of problem is it?? Power supply?
It won't even shut off just stays blinking blue
Generic system problem - these are horrible to work out. Rarely APU, more often than not they're firmware / syscon related but it can be literally anything on the board from an IC failure to a single SMD component on a data line somewhere. Without schematics these are like p1$$ing in the wind and I've stopped doing much with them these days.
Its the blue light of death. No / bad contact of gpu chip to mainboard
Is the power supply suppossed to constantly beep when turned off or in sleep mode still pluged
Definitely not!
Hi Andrew, I'm trying to fix this ps4 which has a power issue like the right one of yours. I replace it with a good PSU but still doesn't power up. fan kicks on for a second and everything shuts down. what would you suggest? Thanks!
+Kanumporn Sawatchoompon sounds like a reball of the APU is required to me there.
+Andrew Paul thanks. I'll try that.
Hey Andrew!
Thanks for that video. It helped me get top where I'm now : stuck on another issue.
I just changed a 2.7ohms resistor that was dead, but something else seems to be too...
Do you have the tech manual, by any chance?
+julien poux Hi mate, sadly not - they're tucked up in Sony / Delta's vaults ha ha! What's the machine now doing?
+Andrew Paul well... same thing, although the resistor seems to survive.
I'll upload a video to explain, i guess.
+Andrew Paul any idea?
a friend of mine told me those power supplies work with 110v and 220v?
Ever heard of that?
Is it 110v in the uk? (i can't recall)
Hi andrew paul may i ask u a question?
When i turn on my ps4 i only have a blue light for a second than it shuts down immediately.
It only does that again after i unplug the ps4 from the outlet, if i dont it doesnt respond at all.
Is it the Psu or could it be something else?
That's likely a PSU problem.
Andrew Paul Thanks this helped just got a new Psu, now it stays on on.
But its only Blinking Blue and i cant get into save mode.
Does my apu need to get reballed?
Mine powers up but the disc drive and usb ports are dead ? So this happened why
My bet would be Southbridge - this handles both SATA (via emulation over USB) and USB host.
@@AndrewPaul basic terms please as I want to repair it. Is it a simple repair or replacement? Please help.
You are the best man
I have a ps4 model number cuh-1215a with a broken psu, I haven't been able to find a replacement model number adp-200er psu for my ps4, but from this video I found that I could possibly repair the psu in my console. I have found a burned spot on the board and was wondering if you could help me figure out how to fix it if it can be fixed.
here is a picture of the damaged spot.
m.imgur.com/0sZIUlo
@william have got the same model and the same problem. i would like to know whether u fixed it and how. please help
+Khali Gamer never got it fixed, I am just keeping an eye out for a replacement power supply. I have no idea how to identify the individual components on the board, so I don't know where to start looking for ways to fix the one I have.
ooh i got no hope too. coz these models have no powersupplies out yet. Where is your ps4 made from? just asking. mine is made in china and i only used it for 1month.
i think these models have got that apowersupply problems in common.
+William Hendrick Sure enough I have the same problem except the burn on my power supply is not as severe as yours.
Great vid, I have a similar problem.
BLoD - PS4 turns on but no input to TV, light pulses constantly and fan/disk drive both work. Won't boot into safe mode it just goes off after I've held the power button for about 10 seconds. I've tried all the easy things like re seating the HDD and leaving it off and unplugged for a few days. Any ideas?
Is it worth me trying to take the PSU apart and having a look around like in this vid or would you say it's likely to be something different? Thanks.
It's very likely to be different - it's a general error condition and can be caused by literally anything. Sometimes it's APU related but anything else and it's really not worth chasing for what they're worth these days.
See here: ruclips.net/video/0T2-iCBhkuQ/видео.html
Andrew Paul - just an update. I replaced the PSU no luck. Went on to take it all apart and I can't see anything wrong with the motherboard in terms of scorching etc. Checked the CR2032 battery and that's fine as well. Had the PS4 about 2 weeks (second hand) so I am pretty annoyed that it's now useless.
Question though: if I buy a brand new one now will I be able to reuse the hard drive in the new PS4 if the models are the same? My worry would be is if the hard drive is causing the problem could it brick the new PS4?
Thanks very much.
Hi, I opened my transformer and found that the J23 resistance burned. I intended to replace it but I can't find his value because the board schematics are nowere. Can you help me because im going mad! XD
Hi, I don't have schematics myself, sadly nobody does apart from Sony. Best way is to take one from a bad supply - the transformers rarely fail themselves so should be fine.
Hi there i have the same issue with the blue light coming on for a second and then going of with click heard. I opened up the psu but the transformer wires are intact , what else could be wrong?
After the first power on attempt, does the console allow you to try again or is it completely dead at that point until you physically remove and reattach power?
@@AndrewPaul its dead have to take out main cord and put back then only it will beep and light up for a second
@@AndrewPaul i have the power supply stripped open tryin to find any loose oh broken solder joints
In that case it's definitely the PSU. Check it for any broken wires coming from the transformers - it's a common point of failure. Failing that, to be honest replacing the PSU for a new one is probably the best bet.
@@AndrewPaul okie thank you so much i like fault finding so maybe you could make a video testing all the major components of the psu so i could compare on mine and find the fault , Im from south africa and the psu is not very expensive but would be still fun and great to fix this old one !!
woow that was great..Have also got aprob with my power supply and i think this was caused by burgs my ps4 does not turn on and no lights at all. have tried watching videos on youtube but it seems my prob is different coz i got no light at all.. I guess am gonna try to open it and see whether i can spot any prob in the power supply.
i have the same problem. I have given it for repair. did you find a solution ? Did your ps4 start working again?
+Shikhar Mehta not really I was told there are no power supplies for my model yet.
+Khali Gamer Seems like I am fucked then :/ The repair guy will tell me tomorrow if it can be repaired or not. I hope its just some minor problem that can be fixed. I don't even understand the problem with it. It worked fine...i unplugged it from power after playing....and after 4 days it doesn't turn on at all!! It's frustrating as hell!
+Shikhar Mehta the same thing happened to mine.. how old is it?
+Khali Gamer It was 3 months old. Bought it from overseas so warranty doesn't apply.
i have the console you are repairing now but i think it stays on longer like the one on the left (at beginning of video) I need to cheek again to be sure but i do think i will need help locating the actual fault, also do you where those gloves so you dont short circuit the motherboard. Thank you for advise.
+JC Gamer The gloves are to protect from flux residues and other solder-related chemicals etc - it's all rather nasty stuff and you don't want it on your skin if you can avoid it. :-)
+Andrew Paul thank you i tested my ps4 and it does what the left one in your video does. so how do i fix it i dont have tools to take thing's off the motherboard like the APU. If there are other ways to fix it without taking part's off it and putting it back on any advice would be great. Thanks
yes this is the one idk why I couldn't find it before but thanks I still can't get my ps4 to work i have come to an understanding that it needs a reball
This is a nice video. My Ps4 also have this problem. Where can I buy the Transformer? Can you give me a model name? Thank you!
Hi Andrew, I have a ps4 which is doing the exact same thing. I have tried a known good psu on it and the problem still exists?
The ps4 blue light flashes for just a second and clicks off, then none of the buttons will respond until you remove and reinsert the power cable.
Can you point me in the right direction of where to check next?
Thanks in advance! :)
Sounds like you have a short somewhere on the motherboard. Visual inspection would be the first port of call so see if there's anything obviously amiss.
thanks for the reply, i have had a look at the board and cant see anything obvious.... I am fairly new to this but dont like to be defeated lol. I know you haven't got it in front of you but any idea where to start?
As you say without it being in front of me it's not really possible to say - just check you're getting the necessary voltages into the motherboard (12v, 5v) and that the fuses on the motherboard are all intact.
I attempted to desolder this and it wouldn't even melt, can you explain this?
Did you use flux? What iron / air station are you using? What temps / airflow are you using?
