#54 Repair of PS4 Pro Immediate Shutdown

[@mm0077]

I really enjoy your repairs, the details and explanations. It was a pleasure to watch. Thank you for sharing.

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank you very much!

[@highroyds]

Even non repaired consoles give experience which you can’t value enough 👍

[@ToltecMerc]

I still have much to learn. Thank You!!

[@andyfairman7812]

I recently found your channel, and as a fellow older tech, I'm really enjoying your content and your troubleshooting methodology (subscribed). Looking forward to your channel getting the attention it deserves with more views/subscribers. Keep up the great work!

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank you very much for the kind words and the sub!

[@AK2I47]

I kept on looking for a video showing what is the resistance or impedance from CPU to ground and Finally found it. Great Job!!

[@can1973ier]

So much to learn for me from this guy. Subscribed and i will consume what is there already! Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work!

[@ToltecMerc]

Welcome! I'm so glad you could join us. Thank You!

New subscriber here, love the videos and detail on the repair. Keep up the great work

[@ToltecMerc]

Why thank you! I’ll do my best to bring you more repairs.

[@isahizhenfahm6576]

Yay!! another video, 😊😊 Always a pleasure to watch.

[@ToltecMerc]

Yay, thank you!

[@tvpartsworld806]

Great content sir. I admire your work. Keep up great work!

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank you very much! I enjoy your content as well! Looking forward to more!

[@mikhailmalyar7977]

Thank you. I learned a lot from your channel. Fixed 5 consoles this week with your help. Will you try to replace the APU, you have the bottom heater?

[@ToltecMerc]

The APU cannot be replaced alone. It is married to several ICs on the board. I would have to change all of them.

[@ايمنعلام]

Hello Is it possible to make an explanatory video of installing the programs on the computer and the name of the programmer on which the flash was fixed? Passage from A to Z 

[@orion310591RS]

3:52 - One question, since you record with phone, did you consider buying tripod for phone? Or maybe mounting it to your chest? Just to get another hand free.

[@ToltecMerc]

I have a tripod but I don’t always use it. Sometimes it’s inside the house and I’m in the garage. I should have gotten it.

[@lynchdemartini]

Can you do a video specifically on voltage injection for ps4 units?

[@Steve_be]

Did you check the caps on the core output they have a habit of breaking down

[@ToltecMerc]

Those large black fat ones? I did not lift them to test, however, when I injected voltage none of them got warm. Only the CPU.

[@GainingDespair]

Top VRM is for the SOC Bottom is core VRM APU's are very finicky when it comes to SOC.

[@ToltecMerc]

Thanks for the information!

[@freistedts]

I have a CUH-7015B with a pulsing BLOD(when the pwr button works). I've checked the PSU (ADP-300CR) and it output a steady 11.895v when tested. Is this normal or low? If normal, what else can cause the intermittent pwr button? I've confirmed the button is good. The eject button works every time.

[@ToltecMerc]

I would say your voltage is fine. The only thing I can think of would be the SouthBridge or some of it's power supplies.

[@freistedts]

@@ToltecMerc I ordered a SB today. I was thinking the same thing. Thanks for the advice. FYI: I just received my first PS5 for repair today. Symptoms: Powers on after left disconnected from power for an extended period of time. Strangely, USB ports charge controllers but syncing them does not. It doesn't want to turn back on after power cycling. I was thinking of trying a full system install via safe mode next. Stay tuned. Let me know if I can email you.

[@hbertoalva7707]

one of the most detailed....its a pro video good work

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank you! I appreciate that!

[@phynx-victumterra652]

What reader do you have for checking the nand? also is it usable on the 8 pin ics from the fat ps4's ? good attempt sir

[@ToltecMerc]

XGecu Pro. It will read the flash memory of any PS4 with the right adapter to attach it.

[@m-elokkichawki9694]

hello thx for sharing what kind of thermal camera do u use ?

[@ToltecMerc]

It is a FLIR One Pro. It attaches to my iPhone. They also make an Android version.

[@DiggInTheCratez]

What is this for a nice clamping Tool for the bios chip? Can you Link me this please?

[@lprcarsgaming1719]

hi great vids, keep it up. could you give a decription of the products you use, very interested in the nand to pc kit you are using great work. unfortunate it didnt work out this time..

[@madhampster]

Did you pull the hard drive. I had one do that and it was a bad hard drive. Scan the drive for errors on your pc.

[@ToltecMerc]

I pulled it. Would not display anything. It should give an error about no hard drive.

[@DarthSimous]

Very educational, as others already said .. First time i am seeing error retrieval, similar to SYSCON method on the PS3s .. I hope the community comes up with methods for the APU & those ICs U mentioned on a comment to be remarried succesfully .. Lots & lots of PS3s and PS4s would have been saved, if it weren't for Sony's idiotic obsession for "pseudo" security on their consoles ... Cheers

[@ToltecMerc]

Being able to monitor the UART data opened up the possibility of fixing many BLOD consoles. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@gexrge_karp]

How can I fix a similar issue, but different short?

[@gexrge_karp]

It’s just a small capacitor that went out and I’m looking for it’s place

[@ToltecMerc]

If you know you have a short on a supply, you can inject voltage and see what gets hot with a small amount of alcohol. You need to know what voltage would normally be there so you don't inject too much. You should probably start with 1V from your power supply. Be very careful how much voltage you inject.

[@gexrge_karp]

@@ToltecMerc thanks, also love your content keep up the good work🙏🏾, I wish you the best

[@natek5051]

the hard drive may have been good at the time the console failed, but during the downtime it could have taken on a case of weak or bad sectors -- which can indeed cause BLoD and it's also a potential explanation to a one time then no more

[@ToltecMerc]

I removed the drive and it would do nothing but show BLOD. It would not give the message about no storage device. Also the UART output was dead. No info scrolling by.

[@natek5051]

@@ToltecMerc honestly can't remember if it was one of your videos i seen it from but a BLoD troll can also originate from flux getting under a crystal -- especially the one that lives right next to the southbridge off the top of my head, unsure of proximity to the area that was worked on, or presence of other crystals to the area worked on, but they are sensitive to "underfill" of any kind

[@ToltecMerc]

Yes I have at least one video where I did get flux beneath the 32KHz crystal but that gives an obvious error when looking at the UART output. The data will stop scrolling and hang when it gets to the Real Time Clock.

[@natek5051]

@@ToltecMerc working on a 300ER now, had bad ZEW DAP046 and the string of diodes of course all cascaded, they have all been replaced now, zeners all check out, opto's check out, dap049 tested good but replaced anyways for good measure.... i get the 5v and caps do hit 380v when triggered, but 12v only has a 0.045v hiccup followed by full shutdown... i believe I've also tested every resistor on entire board, what should i be focusing on 😭

[@ToltecMerc]

@@natek5051 I have a 300ER open at the moment. You can email me at [e-mail]

[@sdadaasd5582]

My ps4 pro has the exact problem do you know how i could solve without all that gear?

[@Winneyyy77100]

impossible

Thank you so much for your content.

[@ToltecMerc]

You are very welcome. Thanks for watching!

[@screen-protector]

You gave it a good try! :) Thank you, it was educational :).

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank so much! More coming soon!

[@edinjonakamoto8013]

I have a problem, Ps4 pro cd eject beeps 3 time but power button don't respond. What could it be ? I tryed a lot of things nothing works out. Power supply is okay it gives 12V but didn't do anything on motherboards yet. If you have some idea, tips what could it be I would be greatful :)

[@ToltecMerc]

The South Bridge may have failed or one of the power supplies that go into it. 3.3V, 1.8V...

[@rfr653]

Good job mate 👍

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank you!

[@agowa338]

you normally do not have to remove the nand chip in order to read it. Often using a in-circuit clip is enough

[@wishingW3L]

These Sony consoles always have a lot of issues don't they? I have consoles from all generations from Nes and Sega Master to Dreamcast, Wii, Gamecube and the Sony consoles are the only ones that are always breaking. Every single Playstation I've ever owned is dead. Last one I got was a PS4 Pro, haven't used it in months and when I tried turning it on the other day it does the same thing as this one in the video. The thing just stopped working. Even without being used it still breaks.

[@AliAhmed-tp8hn]

I believe one of ram chip try to change them I was a video with same problem they change one of the ram after worked

[@manuelrodriguezlatorre8978]

Hello, I have the same problem, it turns off immediately. I've seen a resistor that gives 3.6K and I think it's the fault but I don't have another board to check it. The board is NVB 004. Could you help me if I tell you what resistance it is?

[@ob1skywalker82]

Oh well.... better luck next time enjoyed the video

[@ToltecMerc]

They can't all be dead APUs. Can they?
