[@bugg6597]

Tip 32 warning. While you can use the power cables on other PlayStation consoles and it will work for some time, you can brick your console by short circuiting the motherboard if you’re not careful. You can use the newer cables on any of the cables older consoles safely and indefinitely because of the power adapter at the power supply within the console. If you use an older power cable like a ps2 or ps3 cable on a ps4 however, it will work for a long time. But you and starving your system of power as the older cables don’t carry as much wattage as the console demands. After a year of two of using an older cable, you can brick your PS3 or PS4. So you have to keep in mind which cables go to what consoles and only use the original cable for the console or a newer console power cable. The older ones will work but eventually brick your console.

[@andreibalta5822]

hey - please doublecheck the type of the cable - this is a universal cable that used to came with old radios or CD Players from sony also - this cable isnt containing any kind of AC-to DC converter - is just regular wall power -if the cable is a lower quality one it can short or wear over time but u can still use a genuine one from a ps 1 or from other consoles

The latest PS4 Pro changed the power cord to the same one as the slim/PS1/PS2/PS3, currently only found in the RDR2 bundle. Apparently it's much quieter too. It has a different product code/model number, I forget what it was tho.

[@hollysamerhs7706]

I still didn't get the ps4 but i learned everything about it before i even get it! Tysm that was really usefully

[@CapHowdy]

I think it should be said though that you cannot use any lap top drive if you are swapping it out. If you want 2tb for instance (and why would you not considering the Pro comes with 1tb as standard), you have to make sure the drive is only 9.5mm thick, and many bigger capacity drives are actually thicker than that.

[@UltimatelyEverything]

I'm using a latptop HDD and it works perfectly fine

[@caphowdy666]

@@UltimatelyEverything Didn't say you can't use a latop HDD, I said you can't use "any" laptop HDD. Every 2.5 HDD is a laptop drive, so of course that is what you are going to use. But not every laptop drive fits.

I have never gotten Apple headphones to work with PS4 controllers

[@greffen]

Jesse Sess, then you're probably doing something wrong

[@NotGarrettG]

griffinpiff no, I remember my dad had a PS4 and I liked Apple headphones and I used the 35mm jack to put into my dads controller and use it for sound/microphone and I never got it to be a microphone. I believe sound may have came thru but I remember it not being able to be a mic.

[@mikerosoft219918]

Apples wiring within the headphone jack lines is configured a lil different

[@KevyB.]

Because Apple sucks!

[@drd7of14]

Hey Ryan, just a little CORRECTION here: The Trophy rewards through SONY Rewards are not one time. They start over again after you hit you get your rewards. So they can keep being earned over and over again!

[@MysticRyan]

Wow really! That's surprising actually. Could have sworn they were one time. Great tip!

[@drd7of14]

Mystic It's no problem! That's what I thought at first, as reported, but then I got points again from earning my gold trophies. I suppose it's possible that the same doesn't apply to the others, but I'd assume the same for them. I'm still 3 away from my platinum reward. Great video by the way! You definitely covered pretty much all the PS4 nuggets!
