Hi i have a ps4 white light problem and need advice. So i traded a faulty xbox one original for a supposed faulty ps4 original from a person that fixes consoles that wanted the Xbox for spares. So on the day i got home with the ps4 i used my ps3 cables to power it on and it miraculously powered on which surprised me as the controller was connected properly using the usb cable. But i saw the screen flash black then back to the home screen which i didn't know what is was then it did it once more and was displaying perfectly. After about 5 mins of waiting for it too show some errors or switching off because i did not expect it to work i plugged in my usb speakers to the other usb port on the front while the controller was plugged in. That was when the screen went black instantly. I didn't know what happened and pressed the eject button and a copy of GTA 5 came out which means the console was still powered on. When i plug the controller and speakers in on my ps3 super slim at the same time is says too many devices drawing power something like that. So i think it drew too much power on the ps4 and caused a wlod on the ps4. Im trying to do a home repair with minimal tools and if you could give me some idea of what the usb ports could have shorted eg a transistor or fuses or something. It still powers on and everything but that was the defining factor i think that contributed to the white light of death. Any recommendations would help as ive watched a lot of RUclips videos and most are the ic chip or some transistor . Its a original ps4 with wlod
IF you have fuse situations like this, you should make a 3A circuit breaker like I have. Alligator clips on each side. Connect on the fuse and if it trips, you've got your answer with no loss.
It looks like the rectifier on this board is a single package jobbie. Marked as BD1 on the board, perpendicular to the common mode choke, directly opposite the mains in jack.
About the power supplies, I'll record a video on my business YT channel and will comment it again so that you can watch. They are quite simple, but you have to be REALLY careful and understand how they work.
I picked up a £20 PS4 Slim that didnt turn on from FB last week. Turned out the power button ribbon cable had come loose. I was also hoping for a lower FW version but it was fairly up to date :(
I wish exploitable ps4's was still a way to go here in the US. I had a extremely low firmware ps4, 2. something, on evilbay for months at $200, and it was in beautiful condition. I eventually just took it off, updates it, and sold it for $150.
Hi Phil, dunno if you can help me with this, or maybe this is a question for a live stream or something. I work abroad as a teacher but have repaired laptops, setup computers, fixed the odd simple console fault such as replacing HDs, power supplies etc. I believe my real interest is in e-waste and making money from it. You say that you have family members/friends involved in the scrap trade, what kind of scrap is it, is it the drive around in a van collecting any sort of scrap or is it e-waste? Do you have any contacts in that area as I would be really interested to get some advice. Thanks Graham

Hellooo can i ask how You manage to make such nice meter on the right bottom side ? what meter U use ? and what supply ? i try to make such nice reading and no success.... PS i see many of Your films nice job.
i have a question i have a switch that works perfect when joy-con are connected to the console. but disconnect only while playing smm2 only on this game. half way playing they will stop working so i have to take them off and re-connect then they work again. only on that game all other game are perfect? odd i know any ideas
Hey man, I wonder if you can help. I've got a fortnite switch edition and the sd slot stopped working. I gave it to a mate who said he knew what he was doing to try and fix and he just messed it up! Now I've got the tablet with the sd slot taken out😢. Would you be interested in taking a look? Might make for an interesting video.
@@TheCod3r yeah maybe in UK here where I live in Thailand they are dirt cheap saw 2 for sale today 1000 baht which is about 25 dollars and ps4 pro 60 dollars
There he is... he's calling himself an 'Electronic Technician', but he doesn't even know how a simple psu works or how he could easily fix it... but he can talk a lot and make his viewers think he is one of the best technicians in the UK, whilst his repair achievements are the result of guessing and being lucky only... 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Do you love me dude? You seem rather obsessed with me to be honest. I'm not about that life my friend. I'm happy in my long-term relationship with my girlfriend and kids. I do hope you find the right person for you though buddy
Might be first comment but soon will be the last comment to be seen
Not if I pin it 😂
@@TheCod3r Such a savage thing to do to keep me at the top lol.
@gururue5996 haha works though 👌
Plug it in Phil it might work lol

PSU fuses blowing is most likely a shorted diode in the rectifier. Look for the 4 diodes together and test them.
It looks like the rectifier on this board is a single package jobbie. Marked as BD1 on the board, perpendicular to the common mode choke, directly opposite the mains in jack.
What pleases me most about this is that what you describe as 'mint' is how my mate's PS4 is now working after I did a good clean and noisy fan fix !
Congrats on the win! Nice score at that price.
About the power supplies, I'll record a video on my business YT channel and will comment it again so that you can watch. They are quite simple, but you have to be REALLY careful and understand how they work.
Happy days what a win that is. Well done fixing it.
Bridge rectifier is short. Mains fuse blown on PSU = bridge or chopper fet
Great work Phil boy. ❤
Hello! Have you tried to upgrade the RAM on the PS 4? Replace the RAM chips? Is 8GB a standard amount? Thank you 🤓
Nice dude, very impressive
Phil, nice save big man🤟
Nice Job
Result!!! We like those! 😁

You need some sunlight pal 💯🤣🤣🤣
That ps4 has been through a lot
Hi the cod3r nice video
In any chance do you have bios bin for cfi-1016b I can't get my hand on it
Thx
I think the fuse marking on the board showed a 4A / slow trigger type of fuse .....

Stop blowing fuses!!!! Use a 100W bulb in serial with the main to reduce current. If the bulb lit you have a short.
Do not be con-fused.
You are a wizard Nice
what is the name of the song ?
I had a free ps4. The guy said if you fix it, you can have it guess what............. there was nothing wrong other than it needed a clean out 😂😂😂😂
can you sand the rust and repaint the shield?
Why aren't you live anymore on RUclips?

It's pristine because it's been washed away clean.
Washed in the rain. Still works after PSU swap lol.
these playstation boards are so spacious there is almost no components on it i really like them i hate laptops
it really is odd to see these low hours systems. if it hadn't been outside it probably would have been completely mint.
cant use link to discord ... error gateway....
"Testing components is boring..." It's the most interesting part! For skipping this you have 👎👎👎👎 from me. Sorry.
This is the price the go for fully working 😅
They go for £100+ dude

send to me PSU will repair for You this PSU
must of took it in the bath with them
Interesting that you're still getting daddy long legs. In my gaff in Glasgow there seemed to be a peak of them about a month ago, now absolutely none.
Are you using WhatsApp if so it’s more easy to communicate about consolefix order

"let's see if the disc drive works"? who cares it's exploitable lol don't need a disc drive.
Maybe it was fr Queen Elizabeth's Ps4 !
