Sadly every fuse I checked is working even though I'm having the same issue, but at least now I know what it isn't. Back to the drawing board for me I guess. Great video anyway!
When I thought I couldn't see anything else on the internet that was useful, you come with this video and do a very smart and clean repair. I congratulate you. Gracias
I definitively learn so much from you. Keep going with your wonderfull videos because it helps so much. You are really very good. I'm a certified technician but the difficulty i have that you don't have is DEDUCTION WHEN YOU TROUBLESHOOT. That's my big problem, deduction. I'm not good at deduction and it is so important. I did listen to all of the possibilities you did think before to make a move, to repair. That's the key, DEDUCTION AND DEEP THINKING. Thank's again. It will help me a lot.
I have to say Andrew, that this tutorial is the bomb (that means it's good.) Helped me out a lot, as well as the other fuse replacement for the previous generation on the Blu Ray drive board. Thanks again good sir!! Both repairs were successful
Andrew - Great video as always! I've now ran into one of these with the same issue, but this time, the new fuse blows as well. Figured I would hopefully through some info back to you that could help you on the chance that you run into that someday. The F6202 fuse goes to the laser ribbon and in my case, there ended up being a good deal of corrosion on the actual plug at the laser end. I shot 3 fuses before I figured it out. That's most likely why this fuse blows to begin with in most cases. Thanks for all the good info. Hope that helps you someday!
THANK YOU!!You saved my PS4!!! Love you man!!!! Where can i buy F6201 resistor chip (the tiny N) online? Keep the vidoes up and keep educating and teaching us!!!
Thank you so much Andrew, I really enjoy the way you think and track the problems. thanks to you I saved my PS4 with a fuse I had on an old motherboard :)
Just got a PS4 12xx with this issue and unable to update. This saved it! Thanks a lot. But still the drive refuses to take in disc but ejects it. Maybe the mechanism inside needs tinkering. Edit: I fixed it. The mechanism inside was jammed. Its all good now!
I have a serious problem with PS4 SAC-001 so the client says the son was playing for a few hours. The mother suddenly starts the PS4 by unplugging the power cord from the outlet and pulled it to the floor. Since then, when the plug is connected and the power button is started, a message appears on the screen that it does not detect an HDMI cable and remains blue. In my opinion, the processor must have suffered breaks in the spheres where it is soldered to the plate. With the multimeter in continuity some and many capacitors around the processor beep on both sides.
I need a new 8 pin connector next to TH6202 that the small ribbon cable fits into , what do I look up if I’m trying to find a replacement for that exact one
Your The best had one here laying guess what checked all fuses and it was exactly the same one. Finally I was able to update after I changed the fuse and blue ray is also working. Keep up the good work
hi! my ps4 model cuh-1216A FW 3.50 it feed cd and move out. when i try to update error appear CE-35888-2 i try to change 6 pin near F6202 but same error during try update. any help?
Andy, you might want to explain to people that they need to click the bell on your channel so they get notifications when you post a video etc. Great video as per usual.
Hello Andrew BD player error CE-3005-8 do you have any idea ??? Reflow CXD900xx and replacement BDM7764 but still makes the same error when launching the game. HDD ok! Thank you
Thanks very much for the video and continued content. I have followed each step and it was that exact fuse that needed replaced. Tested since replacing and all fuses now working, however still no drive feed. Don't know where to go from here
Hi, I know this is old video but I hope you can see this. I have sac-001 board with blown fuses f6201 and f6202. I have sab-001 and bdp-025 boards for parts. Can I use fuses from these boards to replace fuses on sac-001 and if yes, then which ones?
I have this exact board, NO issues with the drive pulling disk in, spinning or ejecting. The DVDs and Blu Rays do not "process" or play - I have tried several replacement dvd drives with no joy - any advice on what could be causing this?
Below the RENASAS chip is a smaller chip looks like 3535 on it. Can't make out the rest. Anyway; at the bottom left of 3535 are three parts; one is larger than the others....anyone know what that is and where to get one? It apparently came off my sac-001 mother board when I was cleaning the dust out of my ps4 1215A. So now I have no disc drive. Everything else seems to be working. Thanks for any help.
Oh my god, thank you so much. I doubt you’ll ever see this, but I had the exact. Same. Issue. And I had completely given up I found your vid and I almost had a heart attack when I checked that fuse IT WAS BLOWN. THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH
Hi again Andrew, I have a PS4 here that I bought faulty, it wasn't reading discs. It is model CUH-1216A, it had been apart before. The optical drive had the number KEM-490AAA. So I replaced it and still have the same issue, which got me wondering, is that the correct optical drive KEM number or does a different one belong in there?
hello Andrew Paul, can you tell me what reference fuse you used to replace the defective? type of amperage ... etc ...? and if possible a site or buy it
CE-35290-9 error code here. Updated to 6.20 without any issues. DVD discs console reads fine, but inserting any BluRay disc it spins up, calms down, repositions loudly, spins again, tries to read, but gives out "Unrecognised disc" and previously mentioned error code in error code window under the settings. The wides ribbon cable coming out of drive seems a bit punctured in 3 places, can it be the issue? Console version cuh-1216a.
Andrew you are the man! I have a question, we have a customers PS4 Slim and the same fuse that you have in this video is bad (F6202). The fuse has a small black vertical line in the middle of it and through searching it looks like a 1A fuse but I do not know the voltage? Would you happen to know where to find a replacement fuse? and or could we bridge the contact to test the disc feeding temporarily? Thanks in advance! David
+Computer Booter Repair & Video Games iPhone Repair Don't bridge it whatever you do otherwise you'll potentially kill the board and/or drive. If you've a donor PS4 board (doesn't need to be a slim) find an identical fuse on there (they're common across all board types).
Andrew, Thing is I cant find a fuse with the same marking on it. The one in the ps4 slim has the marking "I" on it. Ive looked on ps3/ps4 boards and dont see a matching fuse. Happen to know a location of a fuse I can pull? Like I said previously I believe its a 1amp fuse but no idea of voltage.
Andrew, you have constant problems with your fitting Air gun under the scope. Are there no available lens add-ons to allow magnification from further away?
Hi, The issue is mainly down to the relative bulk of the wand rather than the proximity of the scope / working distance. Kinked nozzles are available - I've just not got around to ordering one as yet.
Andrew, i've three Cuh-12XX BD-ROM Drive that has unrecognised disc problem. It doesn't recognise any disc i put in. It take disc in and eject disc fine. but it doesnt read. not sure if is motor sensor problem or laser unit or motherboard causing this problem. i dont have a known working good BD-ROM Drive test at the moment. any suggestion?
My friend Paul, there is another way to replace that LB fuse, if I don't have a donor board, which one could be replaced by, remove it from another console, it can only be bridged. That dude I do if I don't have a donor plate to replace the LB
Hello Andrew - your videos are brilliant, and have taught me so much about diagnosing electronic faults! I'm fixing a PS4 Slim for my son's friend. The Blu Ray Disc drive isn't pulling the disc in and F6202 on the main motherboard is blown - the owner said it stopped working after a disc got stuck in the drive after it had been knocked about while being transported in a backpack! I don't have a donor board but do you happen to know the rating, voltage and type of fuse (quick blow, time delay etc) that should be used to replace it? Keep up the good work! So good to see people like you helping us all reduce the amount of repairable electronics going to landfill!
Success! Replaced fuse F6202 and blu ray drive working again. Had to buy a new soldering iron first though, as my old cheap one wasn't up to the job. Thanks so much for your help, Andrew. It's annoying Sony make those fuses so difficult to replace (tiny size and awkward to get to). My son's friend was glad to get his PS4 back anyway. Cheers mate!
Hi Andrew, I have a ps4 CUH-1216 model, which has problems reading original bluray game discs (customer told it began end of september 2017). Disc feed is working. The laser has been replaced several times by a new one, but that did not solve the problem. Also the complete drive has been replaced by a working drive from another ps4 of the same type, but the problem persisted. What actually happens, is that the laser attempts to read the disc, but fails. You simply hear the disc spinning, with different sounds, as if the disc is too dirty, while it is totally clean. With original DVD movies, it shows exactly the same behaviour. Do you know what could have caused this issue ? Could it be OFW related ? According to the date, the ps4 would be on maximally 4.74. I know that on ps3's from 4.78 or higher, that the firmware update will change the power management and as a result of that, discs could not be read anymore, while being on OFW below 4.78 , the same disc could perfectly be read.
Hopefully it is not related to the OFW of the ps4... I have seen this in many situations since ps3 OFW 4.78 and higher. PS4 has been returned to another repair company, it has to be something with less or too much current for the laser I think..... But I am not 100% sure.
ProConsoles this is exactly what happens to mine, I'm exhausted trying to find a video to fix it. Definitely don't want to buy a new drive if its not going to work. Smh
I have a system with the same issue but it will still play DVD discs but no blu-ray discs. Games it recognizes it as a game and what game but then stops reading before install. Blu-ray movies it launches the movie app but gives error that it's not a compatible disk.
Hey, thanks for the video. I've a Playstation 4 3rd gen (CUH-1216a) and have the error code CE-35888-2. It is the original drive and so on, nothing has changed on the PS4 but do you think that the fuse could be faulty? Thanks for your answer !
It's probably a bad drive mechanism motor which is a separate part. When the drive mech motors go bad they pop the fuse. Change that, then the fuse and I'm sure you'll be good to go.
You said you've changed the KEM (laser) assembly - the drive motor which controls the feed / eject is a separate part altogether (KLD-00x, where x is a number).
Thank you for the video tutorial. But my all fuses are fine. I'm thinking to order BD7763efv IC from Aliexpress. What do you think will it work ?? I have SMD heat station, I am capable of replacing it but asking for your advice whether to get the entire BDP-010 daughterboard or just the IC. Looking forward for your reply...Thank you
If it's a 1200 you won't have a daughterboard - it's all on the motherboard. Does the drive work in a test chassis / another machine? In instances where the fuses are good it's a good idea to check as it prevents you from chasing a board issue which might not be present - the feed motors have a habit of going out which will appear to give the same symptoms.
Thank you for your reply. I have CUH-1001A System and I have the exact same model of BDrive like you showed in your other video. Actually its my fault that i'm commenting you on your other video sorry about that. But now you know my drive board is BDP-010. Any advice please ?
I have just found one with the same issue and it was a bad Band cable, one of the end traces was broken away and folded back, gave this exact fault but all fuses were ok. just changed the band cable. Even though it still turned the PS4 on when insert.
Great video, many thanks.I'm sure you have given many hope of a fix. Could you please advise as to a suitable size replacement fuse for the F6202, voltage and amps wise, as I don;t have a parts board from which to remove one. I see there is already a suggestion it might be 2.5 amps? Your advice would be appreciated.
Hi Dean, I've never measured it mate to be honest - just use them all from scrap boards. I'm not near a board now for the next week or so but I can measure it when I get back.
Hi Andrew, I know this video was posted 5 years ago but hope you will see this message and could help please as I am at a loss? I have a PS4 1216B that the optical drive is not reading discs. I have swapped the drive and ribbon cables from my other working PS4 and it still comes up with Unrecognized. I know the 1216B optical drives don't have a daughter board so its not the optical drive, I have also updated the software, rebuilt the database, did nothing so I then installed a new HDD and installed new software (v10.1 from memory) still no joy. Tested all the fuses which are good but it still will not read discs. With the drive out I can see the laser working and moving and the disc spinning. Would you have any clue as to what else it could be? Thanks Andrew and keep up the good work, you're a legend 👍
the worst part is finding those fuses for sale. I paid 7 dollars each for two and damaged one. This is a pain in the ass job but its a thousand times worse when everytime you fuck up it costs you 7 bucks. Does anyone know where I can get these fuses for a fair price?ive looked everywhere.
hello sir Andrew i have a problem with my ps4 CUH-1004 the eject button doesn't work. i opened the ps4 to see what's wrong with the button. i notice the sensor doesn't work. i checked out the fuse works fine i don't know what the problem is it from the ps4 board ? hope for any help thanks in advance..
I've bought a ps4 with error code ce 35888-2 how much would you charge to replace the 3x components on the motherboard that you showed on your video I only paid 20.00 for it I gambled it failed
First off wanna say Im a big fan of your work! You are the best youtuber when it comes to gaming repairs. I do need your help though. I have watched your video ( PlayStation 4 CUH-12xx BD-ROM No Disc Feed - Fault Diagnosis and Board Repair (SAC-001) ) I have a system here with the exact same issue! I followed your video and have tested the same fuses which you repaired and the fuses in your video all test good on the system I am having issues with. any other idea on what to test around in that area of the board which could be causing my issue ?
Now i tested alll these fuses and they are all fine and yet it still gives the error and i really dont know whats wrong with it at this point nothing seems to be wrong tho clearly there is something wrong
+Andrew Paul Id say when recording just melt a little bit of low melting point solder on each side of the pad then when you blow it comes out instantly >
It normally does on its own with this station mate - trouble is at the minute I'm blowing across the component as I haven't enough room under the scope to get directly over it hence wanting the crooked tip. Found one I think - just a case of getting it ordered.
Exelent video, I have a CUH-1200 series PS4, only the laser get up and down all time, all the fuses are ok, is te fuse 6002 in the other side R330? Thank you !!!
You do a great job on these things and help me out a bunch, lol. My question is: Where can you get new fuses, diods and such so you do not have to use a donor board? I have used many donor boards but parts are running out. If you have any info please let me know! Thanks for the videos again man, you do an amazing job on figuring out that crazy problems of these consoles.
If you know the values then anywhere like Farnell, element14, mouser etc are good for stocking common components. They tend to charge fees for low-volume though and to be honest donors are cheap and plentiful these days.
I get about 15 to 20 boards a week, I own a UbreakiFix Franchise and am the only one in a 50 mile radius that seems to know what they are doing to do proper solder jobs on mobos, lol. So any help is wanted. I can buy dead boards but would be nice to buy a working new product ya know? Most places I have to source from china which is annoying. Anyways thanks for the info and keep doing what you do man! You make my life alot easier on diagnosing annoying problems, lol.
@Andrew Paul One more q̶u̶i̶c̶k̶ question according to this "www.fast-pc.co.uk/products/copy-of-dda001ag-sop15-playstation-4-ps4-oem-power-supply-ic-chip" the fuse needs to be a size {0603} not a (0402). While I don't think the size difference is a big deal, the problem is the interrupting Rating (at Rated Voltage) is different. The ERB-RD1R00X is a {0402} which according to the data sheet is 35A, While the {0603} ERB-RE1R00V is a 50A [everything else is the same]. Here is the data sheet "www.farnell.com/datasheets/1755861.pdf?_ga=2.257955337.223264423.1592519723-963387287.1592519723" So don't I need the {0603} ERB-RE1R00V instead, am I misunderstanding something, or is that site wrong? P.S. I probably should have said this first, I have a CUH-1215A Board: SAC-001 P.s.s. I was going to ignore it and just get what you said but it just kept gnawing at me. Also i have been looking for a solution for this problem for over 6 months so thank you for your video and your help.
Try changing those two 6-pin ICs (I believe they're voltage regulators) visible at 29:29. You'll likely need a donor board for these as I've no known part numbers.
Hi Craig, Indeed - these motors peak at relatively high amps when they start - after a few years with dirt / dust on the rollers and a lack of lubrication on the mechanism it takes more effort for the feed motor to advance the mechanics, thus drawing more peak power and eventually blowing the fuse over time. It can also be caused by helping 'push' the disc in as it auto feeds - this is a bigger issue on the slim PS4 as they use a lower rated fuse which exacerbates the issue. Typically, if you're finding your fuse is popping often, clean the drive, lubricate the mechanisms and replace the feed motor - they get weaker over time and again can cause premature fuse failure.
Thanks for this great video, I have the same problem. the same fuse is defective. For me it is important to know whether these are actually fuses or resistors. do I have to replace this 1: 1 or can I use something else? I also need a microscope for this. Can you tell us which equipment you use? the microscope is especially important. Thx much. greetings from Germany.
What happens when your ps4 turns on for like 30 second then turns off the fan only turns on for like 4 second no picture on the screen just on blue light then turns off
So I tested all the ones you did and there good. But that big silver x200f was white, rusty and looked toasted.. it has continuity tho.. I'm lost now lol
Hello there Andrew Paul ! Very good video thanks for your work here on YT, liked and subscribed. Ive got the same problem because when i put back my bd rom i put the big connection wrong and because of that blow that fuse you fix in video. Also, ive got another problem. Blue light doesent light but ny console is fully working. Do you have any sugestion from what that problem can be?( maybe when i clean i brake that led?)
@@AndrewPaul is on the same board as you worked on this video. Because everything is working on the console except blue light it was very strange. I have found that somehow i have removed the small led from the board.
Thanks for the great video! I have a 1215a that won’t load discs. I bought it online, all other functions appear to work. The console was infested with bugs, very nasty. I cleaned it out and reapplied thermal paste to the cpu. There are several dark spots on the board that alcohol won’t remove. I checked all fuses on the motherboard and none are bad. As mentioned in the video, when the PS4 is off - if I try to load a disc then the power goes on. But the disc does not load. I am not sure what to try next, any suggestions?
I have exactly the same issue, on my board one fuse was blown, before I didn't even have eject button response, changed the fuse now the eject button beeps but doesn't eject, the disc drive also does not take disc
I had repaired several with the fuse method@@dlacicagaming4799 , now I have oonw ps4 fat matte that has that exact problem, i think it might be the bluray drive ?

Geez mate. I had exactly the same problem. For 1 week I was trying to figure out what was it and then I found your video. Thank you very much.
Loved how you explained the whole process. I have a system that I will be working on and its very helpful to see this whole process in its entirety.
Thank you - glad it was helpful!
Oh men !!!! Thank you !! It's just a little fuse.... .... Thanks for this Diagnosis !!! I test tomorrow this way! Thank you Andrew !
Either the fuses or the same 6-pin FETs as per the old SAA / SAB boards used to blow :-)
Andrew - Great video as always! I've now ran into one of these with the same issue, but this time, the new fuse blows as well. Figured I would hopefully through some info back to you that could help you on the chance that you run into that someday.

You just saved me HOURS of work! Brilliant video, wealth of knowledge. Thank you!
THAT was an absolute Triumph !!!.................Thank You !!!
Thank you so much Andrew, I really enjoy the way you think and track the problems. thanks to you I saved my PS4 with a fuse I had on an old motherboard :)
I followed your repair guide and now my ps4 accepts discs again. Thanks for charging.
Hi Im trying to fix my ps4 which may have the same issue. How do I order the fuse? Thank you
short video and directly to the point, great
good work bro... you saved my ps4 thanks💯👍👍👍👍
Great news, cheers :)
If you came here looking for the placement of the fuses like I did, the first two can be found a 17:23 while the final one can be found at 19:10
Pregunta, cual es el fusible adecuado que utilizaste para hacer el remplazo?
Thank You very much Andrew. I solved the same problem in my ps4 with your recommandation. thank you à lot from France.
Just got a PS4 12xx with this issue and unable to update. This saved it! Thanks a lot. But still the drive refuses to take in disc but ejects it. Maybe the mechanism inside needs tinkering.
Edit: I fixed it. The mechanism inside was jammed. Its all good now!

how did you go about repairing it? hot air rework station? where did you source your fuses from?
Hi, i have to change my F6202 fuse on a slim, can i search for the component on a SAB-001 BOARD of a fat PS4?
hi! my ps4 model cuh-1216A FW 3.50 it feed cd and move out. when i try to update error appear CE-35888-2 i try to change 6 pin near F6202 but same error during try update. any help?
Bro if i got a fuse from n older modle just alike but one Has "H" N then theres "LB" would that still be the problem?
Hola buenas mi lente no gira podría indicarme donde puedo encontrar el fusible en la placa? Gracias
Andy, you might want to explain to people that they need to click the bell on your channel so they get notifications when you post a video etc. Great video as per usual.
Yeah noticed that feature a bit back - will give it a mention going forwards :-)
love watching and learning keep up the good work thanks alot for sharing
Hi where can I buy the correct fuse f6202?
Lo conseguiste?
Hello Andrew
BD player error CE-3005-8 do you have any idea ???
Reflow CXD900xx and replacement BDM7764 but still makes the same error when launching the game.

Thank you
Hi wjere can I buy the F6202 how do I know I have the right one

Yes you can. They're all the same rating IIRC so should be good to swap any across you need without issue.

Andrew, Thing is I cant find a fuse with the same marking on it. The one in the ps4 slim has the marking "I" on it. Ive looked on ps3/ps4 boards and dont see a matching fuse. Happen to know a location of a fuse I can pull? Like I said previously I believe its a 1amp fuse but no idea of voltage.
I'm not near any boards currently so going from memory however IIRC F5102 from an SAA/SAB board is the one I use for these
ok, yeah the F5102 on the SAB board has a "Y" on it which is I think 2.5amp... what do you think?
Will be fine bud.
Andrew, you have constant problems with your fitting Air gun under the scope. Are there no available lens add-ons to allow magnification from further away?
Hi,
The issue is mainly down to the relative bulk of the wand rather than the proximity of the scope / working distance. Kinked nozzles are available - I've just not got around to ordering one as yet.
Ahh yes I remember you mentioning the kinked nozzle. You'd better buckle down and get one sorted then lol ;)
Andrew, i've three Cuh-12XX BD-ROM Drive that has unrecognised disc problem. It doesn't recognise any disc i put in. It take disc in and eject disc fine. but it doesnt read. not sure if is motor sensor problem or laser unit or motherboard causing this problem. i dont have a known working good BD-ROM Drive test at the moment. any suggestion?
hello I would like to know who has the link to buy these fuse please
nice job i have ps4 slim power supply is good i get a beep blue light and 2sec off and it will do this all the time do you think its the apu.
I have the same oroblem on SAD001, checked the fuses F6001 and F6201, they are good. Any ideas?
My friend Paul, there is another way to replace that LB fuse, if I don't have a donor board, which one could be replaced by, remove it from another console, it can only be bridged. That dude I do if I don't have a donor plate to replace the LB
Hello Andrew - your videos are brilliant, and have taught me so much about diagnosing electronic faults! I'm fixing a PS4 Slim for my son's friend. The Blu Ray Disc drive isn't pulling the disc in and F6202 on the main motherboard is blown - the owner said it stopped working after a disc got stuck in the drive after it had been knocked about while being transported in a backpack!
I don't have a donor board but do you happen to know the rating, voltage and type of fuse (quick blow, time delay etc) that should be used to replace it? Keep up the good work! So good to see people like you helping us all reduce the amount of repairable electronics going to landfill!
I've used Panasonic ERBRD1R00X with great success. Many thanks for your comment. :)
@@AndrewPaul Thanks for that. I'll get that fuse or a similar spec. Hopefully this will fix the problem!
Success! Replaced fuse F6202 and blu ray drive working again. Had to buy a new soldering iron first though, as my old cheap one wasn't up to the job. Thanks so much for your help, Andrew. It's annoying Sony make those fuses so difficult to replace (tiny size and awkward to get to). My son's friend was glad to get his PS4 back anyway. Cheers mate!
What is the fluid that you use to clean the board in the last?
It is 99% proof Isopropyl Alcohol.
Hi Andrew, I have a ps4 CUH-1216 model, which has problems reading original bluray game discs (customer told it began end of september 2017). Disc feed is working. The laser has been replaced several times by a new one, but that did not solve the problem. Also the complete drive has been replaced by a working drive from another ps4 of the same type, but the problem persisted. What actually happens, is that the laser attempts to read the disc, but fails. You simply hear the disc spinning, with different sounds, as if the disc is too dirty, while it is totally clean. With original DVD movies, it shows exactly the same behaviour.
Do you know what could have caused this issue ? Could it be OFW related ? According to the date, the ps4 would be on maximally 4.74. I know that on ps3's from 4.78 or higher, that the firmware update will change the power management and as a result of that, discs could not be read anymore, while being on OFW below 4.78 , the same disc could perfectly be read.
I have one of these right now if I figure it out will post back for you.
Hopefully it is not related to the OFW of the ps4... I have seen this in many situations since ps3 OFW 4.78 and higher. PS4 has been returned to another repair company, it has to be something with less or too much current for the laser I think..... But I am not 100% sure.
ProConsoles this is exactly what happens to mine, I'm exhausted trying to find a video to fix it.
Definitely don't want to buy a new drive if its not going to work. Smh
I have a system with the same issue but it will still play DVD discs but no blu-ray discs. Games it recognizes it as a game and what game but then stops reading before install. Blu-ray movies it launches the movie app but gives error that it's not a compatible disk.
great job.
is there an alternative fuse to be used instead of that one you replaced ? where it can be found?
thanks.
Alfinal que fusible usaste?
Hey, thanks for the video. I've a Playstation 4 3rd gen (CUH-1216a) and have the error code CE-35888-2. It is the original drive and so on, nothing has changed on the PS4 but do you think that the fuse could be faulty? Thanks for your answer !
Hi
I change the fuse F203 but it burns again. I changed also all group kem 490. Why?
It's probably a bad drive mechanism motor which is a separate part. When the drive mech motors go bad they pop the fuse. Change that, then the fuse and I'm sure you'll be good to go.
@@AndrewPaul thanks but i have already said that I’ve changed the motor
@@AndrewPaul I have used ceramic fuse of 1 A
You said you've changed the KEM (laser) assembly - the drive motor which controls the feed / eject is a separate part altogether (KLD-00x, where x is a number).
@@AndrewPaul ok you are right! Sorry! I try to change this. Thanks
Thank you for the video tutorial. But my all fuses are fine. I'm thinking to order BD7763efv IC from Aliexpress. What do you think will it work ?? I have SMD heat station, I am capable of replacing it but asking for your advice whether to get the entire BDP-010 daughterboard or just the IC. Looking forward for your reply...Thank you
If it's a 1200 you won't have a daughterboard - it's all on the motherboard.
Does the drive work in a test chassis / another machine? In instances where the fuses are good it's a good idea to check as it prevents you from chasing a board issue which might not be present - the feed motors have a habit of going out which will appear to give the same symptoms.
Thank you for your reply. I have CUH-1001A System and I have the exact same model of BDrive like you showed in your other video. Actually its my fault that i'm commenting you on your other video sorry about that. But now you know my drive board is BDP-010. Any advice please ?
I have just found one with the same issue and it was a bad Band cable, one of the end traces was broken away and folded back, gave this exact fault but all fuses were ok. just changed the band cable. Even though it still turned the PS4 on when insert.
Just to let you guys know, Im ableto fix my Ps4 by getting new board BDP-010 and I have successfully replaced Rensas IC :D It works great now
Great video, many thanks.I'm sure you have given many hope of a fix.
Could you please advise as to a suitable size replacement fuse for the F6202, voltage and amps wise, as I don;t have a parts board from which to remove one. I see there is already a suggestion it might be 2.5 amps?
Your advice would be appreciated.
Hi Dean,
I've never measured it mate to be honest - just use them all from scrap boards. I'm not near a board now for the next week or so but I can measure it when I get back.
That would be great Andrew. I don't want to damage it further. any idea of a safe size just to test it?
it is 2 ampers
Good find Andrew
Cheers mate.
I miss you!!! Saludos master
Hi Andrew, I know this video was posted 5 years ago but hope you will see this message and could help please as I am at a loss? I have a PS4 1216B that the optical drive is not reading discs. I have swapped the drive and ribbon cables from my other working PS4 and it still comes up with Unrecognized. I know the 1216B optical drives don't have a daughter board so its not the optical drive, I have also updated the software, rebuilt the database, did nothing so I then installed a new HDD and installed new software (v10.1 from memory) still no joy. Tested all the fuses which are good but it still will not read discs. With the drive out I can see the laser working and moving and the disc spinning. Would you have any clue as to what else it could be? Thanks Andrew and keep up the good work, you're a legend 👍
the worst part is finding those fuses for sale. I paid 7 dollars each for two and damaged one. This is a pain in the ass job but its a thousand times worse when everytime you fuck up it costs you 7 bucks. Does anyone know where I can get these fuses for a fair price?ive looked everywhere.
hello sir Andrew
i have a problem with my ps4 CUH-1004 the eject button doesn't work. i opened the ps4 to see what's wrong with the button. i notice the sensor doesn't work. i checked out the fuse works fine i don't know what the problem is it from the ps4 board
?
hope for any help thanks in advance..
i'm a man with a plan did you fix ur PS ?
When u need help replay I fixed this problem
I've bought a ps4 with error code ce 35888-2 how much would you charge to replace the 3x components on the motherboard that you showed on your video I only paid 20.00 for it I gambled it failed
What sort of PS4 is it bud?
First off wanna say Im a big fan of your work! You are the best youtuber
when it comes to gaming repairs. I do need your help though. I have
watched your video ( PlayStation 4 CUH-12xx BD-ROM No Disc Feed - Fault
Diagnosis and Board Repair (SAC-001) ) I have a system here with the
exact same issue! I followed your video and have tested the same fuses
which you repaired and the fuses in your video all test good on the
system I am having issues with.
any other idea on what to test around in that area of the board which
could be causing my issue ?
Best tutorial ever
Now i tested alll these fuses and they are all fine and yet it still gives the error and i really dont know whats wrong with it at this point nothing seems to be wrong tho clearly there is something wrong
What’s the stuff called that you put on before heating it up and remove the chip
That's flux - Amtech NC559 V2 TF in this instance.
What size fuse is it 0603???
They're an 0402
+Andrew Paul Id say when recording just melt a little bit of low melting point solder on each side of the pad then when you blow it comes out instantly >
It normally does on its own with this station mate - trouble is at the minute I'm blowing across the component as I haven't enough room under the scope to get directly over it hence wanting the crooked tip. Found one I think - just a case of getting it ordered.
Adrew where is the voltage regulator of the bluetooth module of this board ?, I need this help
What issues are you having with your console?
Andrew Paul do not care! I took the bluetooth module he called
I put another module is burned the module
Whatsapp 55 12 981821260
Andrew Paul any tips
Grosso you are the best very good video friend, I served solve my error, thank you very much.
pablo rojas did you have a su 42 error ?
Exelent video, I have a CUH-1200 series PS4, only the laser get up and down all time, all the fuses are ok, is te fuse 6002 in the other side R330? Thank you !!!
Hi, I have the same issue, all the fuses are ok too, and the laser get up and down, can you fixed you PS4? How?
excelente dica amigo, muito bom profissional, parabéns. Thanks
Thank you :)
You do a great job on these things and help me out a bunch, lol. My question is: Where can you get new fuses, diods and such so you do not have to use a donor board? I have used many donor boards but parts are running out. If you have any info please let me know! Thanks for the videos again man, you do an amazing job on figuring out that crazy problems of these consoles.
If you know the values then anywhere like Farnell, element14, mouser etc are good for stocking common components.
They tend to charge fees for low-volume though and to be honest donors are cheap and plentiful these days.
I get about 15 to 20 boards a week, I own a UbreakiFix Franchise and am the only one in a 50 mile radius that seems to know what they are doing to do proper solder jobs on mobos, lol. So any help is wanted. I can buy dead boards but would be nice to buy a working new product ya know? Most places I have to source from china which is annoying. Anyways thanks for the info and keep doing what you do man! You make my life alot easier on diagnosing annoying problems, lol.
No problem my friend and good luck with the business.
@Andrew Paul One more q̶u̶i̶c̶k̶ question according to this "www.fast-pc.co.uk/products/copy-of-dda001ag-sop15-playstation-4-ps4-oem-power-supply-ic-chip" the fuse needs to be a size {0603} not a (0402). While I don't think the size difference is a big deal, the problem is the
interrupting Rating (at Rated Voltage) is different. The ERB-RD1R00X is a {0402} which according to the data sheet is 35A, While the {0603} ERB-RE1R00V is a 50A [everything else is the same]. Here is the data sheet "www.farnell.com/datasheets/1755861.pdf?_ga=2.257955337.223264423.1592519723-963387287.1592519723" So don't I need the {0603} ERB-RE1R00V instead, am I misunderstanding something, or is that site wrong?
P.S. I probably should have said this first, I have a CUH-1215A
Board: SAC-001
P.s.s. I was going to ignore it and just get what you said but it just kept gnawing at me. Also i have been looking for a solution for this problem for over 6 months so thank you for your video and your help.
OLA WANTED TO KNOW WHERE I CAN FIND THIS
FUSIVEL H WHAT VONTAGE OF THIS FUSIVEL VC WOULD HAVE SELLS TO ME
thank you, it worked for me!
Nice job!
Many thanks.
hey mate i have had checked all fuses which are shown in the video. all have continuity but still no disc feeding. any suggestions? thanks
It may be the feed motor which has failed. They're cheap enough to buy and fairly easy to change out.
Andrew Paul : have changed it as well but no difference.
Try changing those two 6-pin ICs (I believe they're voltage regulators) visible at 29:29. You'll likely need a donor board for these as I've no known part numbers.
Thanks mate I will try to replace them then let you know.
I understand that a blown fuse caused the issue, but doesn't that usually indicate another issue as fuses generally don't just blow?
Hi Craig,
Indeed - these motors peak at relatively high amps when they start - after a few years with dirt / dust on the rollers and a lack of lubrication on the mechanism it takes more effort for the feed motor to advance the mechanics, thus drawing more peak power and eventually blowing the fuse over time. It can also be caused by helping 'push' the disc in as it auto feeds - this is a bigger issue on the slim PS4 as they use a lower rated fuse which exacerbates the issue. Typically, if you're finding your fuse is popping often, clean the drive, lubricate the mechanisms and replace the feed motor - they get weaker over time and again can cause premature fuse failure.
@@AndrewPaulAh, makes a lot of sense. Thanks very much for the reply, and the fantastic videos!
Thanks for this great video, I have the same problem. the same fuse is defective. For me it is important to know whether these are actually fuses or resistors. do I have to replace this 1: 1 or can I use something else? I also need a microscope for this. Can you tell us which equipment you use? the microscope is especially important. Thx much. greetings from Germany.
Obrigado irmão Deus abençoe vc e família sempre show consegui consertar meu ps 4 Tmj
Thanks for sharing mate =)
What happens when your ps4 turns on for like 30 second then turns off the fan only turns on for like 4 second no picture on the screen just on blue light then turns off
Has the console had any liquid / spill damage at all?
No
So I tested all the ones you did and there good. But that big silver x200f was white, rusty and looked toasted.. it has continuity tho.. I'm lost now lol
Hey andrew im having a similar Issue on my ps4 pro cuh 7015b. Did you encounter this with any or can you do a video for the ps4 pro
Hi,
I can confirm this is in the works for upload - just the editing to finish :)
@@AndrewPaul cant wait for this video but the issue is similar? What cause these fuse to go bad.
can u say me where buy this part? i need too, but i dont know how search it
Probably it's too late, but I found out this is a 1A 32V 0402 SMD fuse.
Hello there Andrew Paul !
Very good video thanks for your work here on YT, liked and subscribed.
Ive got the same problem because when i put back my bd rom i put the big connection wrong and because of that blow that fuse you fix in video.
Also, ive got another problem. Blue light doesent light but ny console is fully working.
Do you have any sugestion from what that problem can be?( maybe when i clean i brake that led?)
Is this on an SAC board mate?
@@AndrewPaul is on the same board as you worked on this video.
Because everything is working on the console except blue light it was very strange. I have found that somehow i have removed the small led from the board.
What should the voltage of that fuse be?
1A VFA should do the job.
do you have a video or an idea about a console not showing any sign of life even with a good power supply?
Check all the fuses (labelled up F or TH).
Andrew Paul so I'm looking at the board and there are a lot of f#### and Th####. is this what I am.looking for? and if so how to I test them?
Yes - you'll need a multimeter in continuity mode to test and check them out.
Andrew Paul on the video we are commenting on go to 8:08. are the 2 tanish-brown boxes to the right of the power supply prongs fuses?
Those are capacitors rather than fuses. They're there to smooth voltage into the 5v rail IIRC. I'd be doubtful they're your problem.
Thanks for the great video! I have a 1215a that won’t load discs. I bought it online, all other functions appear to work. The console was infested with bugs, very nasty. I cleaned it out and reapplied thermal paste to the cpu. There are several dark spots on the board that alcohol won’t remove. I checked all fuses on the motherboard and none are bad. As mentioned in the video, when the PS4 is off - if I try to load a disc then the power goes on. But the disc does not load. I am not sure what to try next, any suggestions?
I have exactly the same issue, on my board one fuse was blown, before I didn't even have eject button response, changed the fuse now the eject button beeps but doesn't eject, the disc drive also does not take disc
I had repaired several with the fuse method@@dlacicagaming4799 , now I have oonw ps4 fat matte that has that exact problem, i think it might be the bluray drive ?
@Andrew Paul,you are a legend!!
