PS4 blue light of death EASY FIX (NO TOOLS REQUIRED)

[@DJOldSoul]

For people who are wondering if they should do this or not. It is up to you. The reasoning behind it working is that, under where he is stepping is the APU. Sometimes the soldering inside the sockets can crack overtime and essentially by him stepping on that part of the PS4 (Not too hard...) is reconnecting some of the cracks in the solder.. This obviously isn't a guaranteed or permanent fix, but it is worth a shot if you're running out of options.

[@hama1609]

To those wondering why this actually works is because it basically reattaches the APU solder balls back into to the mother board, you can do the same by opening the ps4 and applying pressure on the apu unit , note: can only work on old gen ps. Dont press too hard as it could crack

[@bibu4566]

Where should i stand on a ps4 pro?

[@esg_zom3319]

Who thought, "hey my ps4 is broken, i should try stepping on it!"

[@esg_zom3319]

By the way i just pushed on it with my hand and it worked

[@joshuacofer7566]

I'm not even lying I laughed so danm hard just thinking this to myself

[@Felixbucket]

It’s because you’re applying pressure to the APU. The solder joints are probably bad.

[@dangeloclips1345]

When you get pissed of you try anything lmao

[@tadiwright8749]

I had to be more aggressive to mine but it worked 💀

[@plexy651]

I just want to say thank you a lot, I’ve bought countless hdmi cables and tried literally everything, My mouth literally dropped when it turned on. Thank you!

[@sethhoper7872]

You should buy an Xbox series s that’s what I switched to my ps4 is perfectly fine, I dropped mine once and it stoped working all I did after the repair shop said it was broke I pulled my side panel off and shimmied my hard drive then pushed it in place hooked it up right in front of the repair guy and it turned on instantly it was complexity reset, I signed in and everything just had to download that’s all game wise obviously

[@Subject049]

Ok look guys. The problem here is with the BGA array under the APU (CPU + GPU). What he is doing is simply bending the motherboard so the cracked solder joints temporarily make contact again. Please, pleeeeaaase be smart and DON'T DO THIS! Just get it repaired by someone who can resolder the APU. If you do this you only do more damage. PLUS you risk to crack the APUs DIE in the worst case, which would mean the APU will be destroyed permanently with absolutely no way to fix it. So you'd have an expensive paperweight.

[@TexasTex]

Subject 049 mine actually gives me graphics errors and says the CPU is failing all I do it leave it off for 24 hours and it works just fine. I've gotten the blue light of death a few times but just keeping it off for 24h and it works for me..

[@Subject049]

That's clearly a BGA problem depending on thermal conditions. You should get it reballed.

[@RitsyRoo]

[@ShaDoWxGFX]

Basically by stepping on the PS4, you are stepping on the area were the APU chip is located. The reason this works is because when you step or apply force to that area, it helps create the solder connection.

[@jon5100]

HAHAHAAHA I thought you were crazy I deadass stepped my size 12 foot on my ps4 and blessed my ps4 with the power of the Bigfoot and it worked you are an OG thanks for this ridiculously genius method.

[@riblit77]

There is actual science behind this. The BLOD is usually caused by a faulty APU and one of the small ball connections on the chip coming loose. By standing on the console and putting pressure on it, you're forcing the APU down onto the motherboard and reconnecting these loose points, hence why it's only a temp fix. To make it more permanent, what I usually do is put small nuts or washers in the clamp that goes on top of the APU and tighten them up to give more pressure downwards. This usually fixes the console for a decent amount of time.

[@soulfourger]

YOOOOOO! I can’t can’t believe this f***ing worked! My friend and I just spent 20 minutes changing cables and pressing buttons. I found a video explaining that the problem is a chip inside the PS4 that doesn’t have enough pressure for conduction. A possible fix is to add 2-3 washers to the screws on a piece inside to add pressure on top of the chip. So I added some biological pressure instead (because we don’t have any at home and it’s almost 10PM for shopping), gently applying pressure with my foot and this thing turned on! Of course, this trick comes with the risk of permanently damaging something inside, so testers beware! I’m now speechless and blow away🙌🏼

You could just tighten the cpu screws permanently fixedly

[@Kingwexton]

Where are the screws on a slim

[@slaaayx]

I have an explanation why this actually works, but can be extremely dangerous aswell. When you press on the PS4 plastic shroud on that side, you will also press down the cooler on to the processor which will lead to reconnection of the CPU with the board. This happens when the PS4 has overheated to much, sadly it might just be a temporary fix, if you get lucky it will hold on. But if you put pressure on to the CPU, it might break the silicon chip which will render the CPU completely useless and the PS4 won't work without replacing it with soldering expert skills.

its because there could be the odd solder point under the APU chip which has contact problems your pressing the chip down again but overtime especially after things have cooled down it can slowly create that contact problem again. Things expand under heat and contract when they get cold. So yea this seems to work. It's also why people bake their consoles to try and get the solder to get better contact on one of the points.
