I'm sure that many first- timers have broken their right side of the top cover because of this video 😂😂 other than that, good video ✌🏽

[@therealjoyrdju3132]

I broke mine and it wont snap back in

[@motorhomownerdan]

To get that top cover off, turn the PlayStation away from you, pull up the top right corner by the power button (the only side that comes up easily) then without putting pressure anywhere else, pull the top left up (PS4 still facing away from you) by getting your fingers in the gap. He has the perfect technique on his very first attempt 7:40 but it's the wrong side. And yes, I figured this out after like 15 mins of getting frustrated with it lol, but it's easy once you get it right...good luck!!

Does that problem occur again ?

[@intotheblue1145]

What I just cannot stand about these companies Sony/Microsoft is their lack of robust console engineering. After many years and successive generations here we all are still having to look this up because of a well documented flaw, just like the rest. They have just refused to improve on what they know to be open to faults. I hardly played my PS4 it’s 4 years old and the power has now tripped meaning it goes off after 5 seconds. Built in redundancies are a very real aspect of these companies revenue streams and their path to getting max numbers over to next gen. I am so sick and tired of them charging exorbitant prices for low time yield consoles. They should be forced to reveal the actual life expectancy and extend their warranties. Greed is not good when you are manipulating your markets and taking advantage of all of us.

[@brandonharvey7939]

Ive got one refurbished from gamestop and apparently they just threw little foam pads underneath the heat sink bracket, which will increase pressure on the heat sink, which now serves no purpose because the heat can't dissipate into the metal housing. Im sure thats why it no longer works. Thanx gamestop.

[@Mr_Goody]

I don’t know exactly without looking at it but I would say it sounds like the power supply right off make sure you test your power supply with the volt meter and also look for anything that doesn’t look right on the motherboard itself.

Hello mate, I got given a PS4 yesterday for spares or repairs, it wouldn’t turn on, so I put another power pack in it and it turns on for like a second then turns off, I have tried 2 washers either side, how easy are the chips to repair?

[@bcrudiclhigh3077]

Every person who took off the stickers before he told u your warranty will be voided

[@Mr_Goody]

If you watch the video, I tell people that their warranty will be voided if they take the stickers off and I also explain that they usually get a year warranty from their console manufacturer such as Somy or Microsoft. I also tell them to do this if they feel confident in doing this themselves I’m only trying to help people save money and fix their own systems themselves. I don’t mean any ill will by making these videos to help people. I simply want them to be confident in themselves in fixing their systems and to save money. Thank You for your feedback. ✌️👍 and also one other final note this model of PlayStation is over 5 years old so these models are way out of warranty so the sticker doesn’t mean a thing.

[@Mr_Goody]

If you don’t believe me that I warn about not removing the sticker then just go to the video at 6:44 and make sure that if your deaf to turn up the volume so you can hear exactly that I’m telling you that if you remove the sticker it will void a warranty 😉. And also know that this console model is over five years old anyway and is way out of any warranty that Sony ever provided. So you’re just talking a lot of crap about my video and all I’m trying to do is help people fix their system. Next time watch the video before you make smart ass remarks.

Need thermal pads there

[@warzoneunofficial8470]

My ps4 turns on and after a min it turns off automatically and it won't turn on and the fan is running slow what to do

[@Mr_Goody]

If it turns on for a four minute then shuts off then it is possible that it is overheating and that you may need to do a cleaning that can be arranged from just blowing it out with compressed air and making sure it is in a well ventilated area or it could be as complex as you need to take apart your PlayStation and clean it with isopropyl alcohol and also put new thermal paste on the heat sink that covers the APU of your PlayStation.

[@CarlosLesliesbabe]

My ps4 does the same thing but onnce i press the power button once the light wont come on at all untill i unplug the ps4 and then plug it back on but then even like that it only turns on for like a second

[@Mr_Goody]

You should check the power supply. If that’s not the problem, I would say your motherboard could possibly need re-soldered or re-flowed

what is the size of washer i should use? thank you in advance sir.

[@Mr_Goody]

The washer I used was 5 mm but you can use any size that you want as long as it puts pressure up against the motherboard and you can get the case back on.

[@user-xc1bl1hs8d]

What if the blue light only come once and then it doesnt turn on whenever i touch the power button.. But when i off and on the ps4 switch the blue light still off and never pop out again unless i turn off and on the switch

You will probably need to reflow the APU and this method will not work unfortunately.

To my knowledge if you don’t have that the only thing you can do is to re-flow which means to re-solder the motherboard which is a lengthy process and requires soldering skills.

What screwdriver do use to take the heat sink bracket out

[@vincebeenhere]

I know that your answer can not be a definitive one because I think that proper diagnostics have to be perform. But, at the beginning you said that the ps4 turning the light and the fan indicates that it is an APU problem. What happens if a ps4 used to that, sometimes stay on for a while and turn off and now simply wont turn on? Im just asking now because I’m curious and would like to know what are your thoughts, I’ll get a multimeter later to properly check the power supply and finally know if I have to replace it or fix the APU. Thanks in advance!

[@Mr_Goody]

It depends on what you mean about coming on if you mean that it Powers up or if it Powers up and get to signal on your TV or monitor. If you actually get a video signal on your monitor and it goes off, then it is most likely the power supply. If the consul itself powers on and there is no video and then it powers off it’s still could be multiple things such as an icy chip you know the APU could need to be reflowed it’s really hard to say, but yes, bringing out the multi meter and trying a power supply. If you have access to one would be some of the first places I would start sounds like you’re on the right track my friend.

[@vincebeenhere]

@@Mr_Goody It ended up being a faulty power supply issue. Gotta buy one. Thank you very much for your reply!

[@Mr_Goody]

@@vincebeenhere You’re welcome my friend. What did

[@Ali-ri5js]

Does this problem cause all your data to be lost. I have a slim version and incur the exact same issue so how do I fix that model. And can you tell me the reasons as to why this issue happens in the first place. It would be a miracle if you reply to all these questions.

[@Mr_Goody]

All of your data is still intact but you should get into the practice of backing it up on the PlayStation cloud or on a back up hard drive. The reason why this happens is because of weak solder joints that comes loose over time.

[@IIIII45IVEIIIII]

My ps4 does have the bracket

[@trip_of2886]

to get it on just put a disk in and it will turn on

[@deezusnubes]

if all i hear is one beep and a single blue flash what does that mean ? system does not turn on at all.

[@Mr_Goody]

That usually means that there is a loose connection with the Sauter on the motherboard in your PlayStation and this video sometimes fixes the problem by pushing the solder joints together by getting a better connection but if it is too bad then it will not work and you will technically need to re-Sauter or it’s called reflow your motherboard.

[@deezusnubes]

@@Mr_Goody so i should give the washer trick a go and if that doesn’t work what should i do ?

[@Mr_Goody]

If the washer trick doesn’t work you will have to re-solder the motherboard which takes some technical skills with soldering and if you don’t have that you would have to take it to a repair shop.

[@deezusnubes]

@@Mr_Goody how much does that cost ? is it 100% an issue with the motherboard or could it be my power supply ? i really don’t know

[@Mr_Goody]

Without looking at it personally I can’t guarantee what it is but I would say 80% probably the hard drive and 20% something else.

[@Mr_Goody]

It won’t work for everybody it’s a 50-50 chance if it doesn’t work for you then you will have to reflow the Solder on your motherboard.

[@akagrim0]

@@Mr_Goody I tried the washer in the middle of the thing and it came on for a couple of days. I think because of the new update. When I updated it came back off again

[@Mr_Goody]

It shouldn’t have anything to do with your software update and it should have Everything to do with the solder connections to the CPU and GPU when they weaken and don’t get a good contact that’s why it is shutting off. You can try readjusting the washers which I think you said you already tried that to give it a better connection but if that doesn’t work then usually you will have to re-flow the Solder on the motherboard which if you don’t have any soldering skills it’s not too easy.

[@obidinmadavid2004]

[@kratoles]

I just cleaned my ps4 & now i cant turn it on it just beeps 3 times then shuts off?

[@Mr_Goody]

This usually means it’s overheating and when you say clean do you mean you erased files or did you physically clean it, One good thing to check is to see if you put fresh thermal paste underneath the heat sink to absorb the heat. Also make sure that the PlayStation is not blocked by any walls or anything and that the vents are away objects that could block it.

[@nickkrogulski7761]

If there's any dents in thermal pads replace them it will overheat

[@Mr_Goody]

You are correct when you cleaning the PS4 if the thermal pads are ripped or have dents than they need to be replaced but if you are careful and they are in good condition you can reuse them. And also as I explained in the video replacing dried up thermal paste is a must too.

You try the steps in the video, if that doesn't work then you will more than likely will have to reflow the entire motherboard with solder. Its not an easy process but works. It may be more cost effective to buy a used Playstation 4 these days.

[@jennifergould8015]

Hi good day I did not and it worked for d day and it's out again wat can I do now

[@Mr_Goody]

This fix doesn’t always fix every PlayStation if it worked for a day and it’s not working again then you will most likely need to do what they call a re-ball or a reflow of the APU on the motherboard it is a very involved process if you do not know how to Solder.

[@VictorHernandez-nj2lo]

Wat size washers do i need?

[@Mr_Goody]

5 mm washers but you can actually use any washer that you want as long as it makes a tight fit with the clamp and the processor. The washers purpose is to tighten the clamp down farther because the reason it is not coming on is because the processor Solder is not holding up and having a loose connection so when you tighten the connection with the washers it gives a better connection. This method works sometimes but when it doesn’t then you will need to get your motherboard reflowed or Reballed.

Without looking at it I would not know but you could try something as simple as using compressed air and blowing it out and make sure it is not a temperature thing of it getting hot. If that does not help I would say it is the solder joints and it might need to be re-balled or re flowed.

@@Mr_Goody Thank you for the quick response. I had a feeling too its the solder joints. I just also had this cleaned and the fan is also new. Keep up the good work! I gladly appreciated your help

[@Mr_Goody]

You’re welcome my friend 👍✌️

[@_Mojitoo]

@@Mr_Goody Sorry I may ask again. Is re-balling or reflowing the solder joints hard? How much is it?

[@Mr_Goody]

Reflowing the board is not for beginners I don’t think it’s hard it’s just like painting it’s something you have to kind of practice at before you get the hang of it. It’s usually a little expensive to have someone do it that is why you would want to check around at different shops to see if they do it and to see how much and compare prices.

The washers should be what size?

[@Mr_Goody]

They are about the size and thickness of an American nickel.

[@dafzz6694]

plz what is the name of the screw

[@Mr_Goody]

It is the regular screw that holds the PlayStation together and I just used a 5 mm washer that you can buy at just about any hardware store.

Can we do a call session to fix this

[@Mr_Goody]

Just message me on Instagram 👍

@@Mr_Goody I don’t have Ig what about like a zoom call or something

[@BIGGZZ_Gaming]

What do i do if the light just came on and cut off no beep

[@Mr_Goody]

Then my guess would be may be the power supply but then again without looking at it in person that’s just a guess.

[@Ruggedclips]

Do we need the foam under the bracket to do it

[@Mr_Goody]

What do you mean foam under the bracket anything that was originally there you put back usually there is nothing there you don’t need any foam. This method doesn’t work all the time as I stayed in the video but it works quite a bit more than you would expect if you try this method and it doesn’t work then you will need to re-flow and re-solder your APU or CPU and GPU.

[@samanthalotkin8499]

Great video thanks,quick question,what does it mean if I turn the ps4 on and then it beeps three times and shuts off?

[@southmetro4239]

Try going into safe mode first by holding the power button

[@Mr_Goody]

See if it will boot into safe mode if it will not boot at all usually the three beeps means that there is a hardware failure but if you are getting video signal than it could be the hard drive.

@@Mr_Goody i’m going through this problem right now & i can’t fix it. it don’t even let me get into safe mode

[@dxcive]

did you ever find a fix to it ? i’m struggling hard rn

[@Mr_Goody]

Does the system stay powered on with output video on the screen such as the PlayStation logo or does it just completely shut off if it stays on then that means it is more than likely the hard drive and you can just replace the hard drive if it completely goes off then you can try this washer trick and if that doesn’t work then it will need some complicated re-balling and re-soldering techniques.

[@isaakmeza8611]

I tried this and it didn’t work at all

[@Mr_Goody]

I’m sorry it won’t work for you. It won’t work every time.

[@Mistajoe-pm1ce]

This worked good but when I was about to play a game I waited a few seconds and then it started to get louder and louder, it was never that loud just playing rumbleverse

[@Mr_Goody]

Do you mean the fan was loud or the disk drive??

[@Mistajoe-pm1ce]

@@Mr_Goody The fan was loud but i got it fixed

[@Mr_Goody]

Ok, I’m glad you got it fixed 👍
