PS4 CUH-1216A 5v Connector Ripped Off Board Repair

[@melannieworld]

Where can you buy the 4 pin piece that goes on the board? My broke completely. Please help! Also, 3 of the pads rip off too, any idea how to fix them?

[@Gladlion]

Did you fix it?

[@Tadkosss]

@@Gladlion did any of you fix it?

[@DAVIDGREGORYKERR]

A piece of copper foil with little holes that line up with the solder blobs should allow you to fuse the foil back to where it is needed and the cap can be replaced, would the overheat problem go away if a Corsair AIO was used instead of the HSF.

Nice job as always buddy, glad to see you back ;-)

[@Nobuyuki0314]

I'm learning everyday. Thank you for this !

[@d_fizzle4531]

What would I do if the pad ripped off of that bottom right connector. I think you said it's a data line. That whole little square came off on the bottom right one

[@dyoxxzr66z59]

Did you solder the piece back on with just regular solder, is that all there is to re attaching it? What’s the clear liquid?

[@AllenScantland]

What a great video, and perfect for me too, I was cleaning mine up and sadly popped the 4 pin 5v off. I'll have to see what I have to do this kind of repair.

How to fix the right data light strip that has been totally ripped off?

[@jrmariano02]

where can i rewire that 5v (top right) i ripped a large portion, nowhere to scratch off

[@MegaKiwi53]

How do I know where I need to rewire the other 3 connectors that were not ripped up in the video? Cause my other 3 ripped off pieces of the mother board and I don’t know where I need to route them too.

[@aliffadzly9676]

Hi Andrew, I ripped off the bottom right pin, the "data pin", off the motherboard. Can I scrape the area to the bottom of the pin between the two dots and solder the pin back on?

Hi, have you the pin out underside psu connector of ps4 pro? a photo? because sometime is more easy try to connect to the underside...with no connector but with cables.

excellent andrew. good job. that paste seemed as much a problem. Now it will live.

[@trickydickyyo6533]

I did the same thing however my ground is the only one that ripped away from the motherboard. What parts of the motherboard need cleaned to the copper..and I'm using silver conductive wire glue to do this job

[@AndrewPaul]

If ground is the only one missing, scrape the conformal coat next to the missing pin then bridge the solder across. I wouldn't use the glue - it likely isn't going to be strong enough to hold the connector and you'll have issues getting that ground pin back in place as you'll need to do the above to get across the gap which is now present.

[@Jjjj-my6yz]

Andrew Paul so bridge the solder from ground to itself?

[@Jjjj-my6yz]

Andrew Paul bridge the solder across to where?

[@mlaragaming9619]

Alright so the connectors have the motherboard still on them am I a able just to solder them still and they should be able to work? I would like to know if I could get a reply so I know if I’m able to fix it!?

[@AndrewPaul]

Hi, If the pads from the board are stuck to the connector pins then no, it'll require link wires running for those missing pins. If the board still has the pads intact (they'll be solder silver in colour as opposed to black / brown if they were missing or ripped up) then yes you'll be good to solder the pins from the connector back down and all should work fine again.

[@MarcoAntonio-nn8cj]

You're a master, I'm a fan of your work.

[@brendanhurley7050]

Hello Andrew, I just recently was replacing my left analog joystick and one of the solder pads ripped off from where one of the pins go through the motherboard. How do I fix that?

[@gordenfraxby84]

Hi, I was wondering if you could help with a ps4 I bought to fix? I didn't test it as I could see the hdmi port was in bits, soldered on a new one no problem but it just has the continuously pulsing blue light. I've checked the board and there are shorts to ground on almost every component around the apu and ram chips... they're everywhere! I was thinking of pulling the APU to see if this will help or should I put it in the bin now?

[@kolleermann3298]

Hi Andrew, I have a question.. Are the 2 pads from the bottom hace continuity? I don't know if I have a SC or it's supposed to be like that

[@monkeyswings7434]

when you said "thheres a tiny cap below the right pin, ill change my tip" thats tbe cap ive broken off and lost :( whats yhe rating

[@jenniferf7671]

How would I fix the bottom two if they were ripped. Please help

[@AndrewPaul]

If you have a look at 02:45, you can see some thin light green lines coming from the left hand ends of the pads. Follow these to their next component or via along that line then run a link wire to that location. The bottom pad goes to the top side of the capacitor as seen in the image (it's a very short wire run from the leg of the connector when it's in-situ) - the second from bottom goes along that trace to a via (if memory serves me correctly). Prep the via and solder a link wire there. That should have you back up and running. Once tested and working, pot the base of the connector in with some epoxy to get some strength back into the connector to prevent it lifting again in the event you ever need to remove the power supply in future.

[@jenniferf7671]

Andrew Paul thank you, you are a life saver :))) appreciate it

[@tokhifardin]

hello sir i have a question about my PlayStation 4 PS4 SAC-001 Motherboard. my problem is i missed two diodes near to HDMI port and two resistors from back site of board but i do not know the number of the component. but you mentioned it at your text mssg that we can find out the same diode and resistors in ps3 motherboard that it works for ps4. can you please write from which one model of ps3 we can use the diodes and resistors for ps4 thanks. and sorry about my English.

[@johncoops6897]

You need to replace the diodes and resistors that you previously removed. You already have these, so simply put them back. There is no reason to remove these parts. Next time, do not open the console and do not touch what is inside. Do not remove any components.

[@graficonet]

Hello, I have a slim ps4 that enters due to damage to the hard disk, in which a new disk is installed and the failure continues in the following way ... almost at the end of the installation it is fried, I turn it on again, it repairs the start and everything works fine for hours, on the next power left if I give video, but with white light, I turn it off, the start repairs and works fine again, I also notice that if it is working and I change HDMI device on the TV I mean I happened to see the console to watch TV, when I return to the console, stop sending video again, I never pass this type of behavior to detect if the fault is HDMI or APU. Any advice?

can you tell me the value of the capacitor that you removed and put back in. i have the exact model and the 5volt is shorted out. i tested the capacitor with a dmm and its shorted

[@AndrewPaul]

Hi, Does the short disappear from the board with that cap removed? Is the short still present across the cap with it removed from the board? It's rare for these to go - and rarer still for them to short (they'll usually go open).

hello thats happened with me while cleaning the fan . i sent it to tecnichan shop to avoid damage it . he said he fix but after fixing it the ps4 just beep and no power? he asked me if there was a problem before. i told him it was ok ? once after he fixing it ps4 beep and shut down so what is the reason ? i never tuch the motherboard!! what is the fix?

Hows things Andrew having a weird issue with my ps4 lately. Sometimes it powers on and plays fine for hours. Sometimes i get an hour and it goes off. other times it turns onto blue light and nothing happens i have to pull to plug to turn it off and leave it for a min or 2 then it'll turn on. Sometimes the beep doesn't work on start up either.? Any ideas. Thanks..👍

Probably a donor board would be best to take one from - without the schematics it's hard to determine the actual specs. I may be able to supply one if you're struggling .

Hi mate, I accidentally ripped the wires out the connector, what do I do?

On the PSU side? If so, you can replace the cable between the PSU and motherboard - it just unclips from the connector on the PSU.

@@AndrewPaul This happened to me too the right data pin came off and I don't know where I'm supposed to connect the wires to.

[@AndrewPaul]

Follow the line coming from the end of the pad - it goes to a small ring (known as a via). scratch very lightly away at the via to remove the green coating to reveal the copper below. Mount the connector and solder the other pins, then run a link wire between the leg of the pin with the missing pad and the via you've scratched off. You'll need some decent flux to get it all on smoothly but shouldn't be too difficult if you've ever done soldering before. Good luck.

[@rubenlopez7168]

Andrew Paul is a link wire just and overall name for one type of wire or are there certain ones and if so which one do you recommend for this

[@AndrewPaul]

The term link wire refers to the repair - it's a wire which connects (or links) two components together where the original circuit trace was damaged. Best type of wire for these repairs on PS4 is enameled wire (aka. transformer wire) - IIRC the stuff I use is 38AWG (0.1mm diameter).

[@Jonathan-Hack]

Do you have to use the liquid when soldering it back on?

[@AndrewPaul]

The flux? It definitely helps.

[@Jonathan-Hack]

Andrew Paul does some solder have it already or is that something u have to get?

The connectors are re-soldered to the motherboard.

[@markruva7061]

What is flux for? Can it be done without it?

[@AndrewPaul]

It aids tinning and wetting of solder joints - basically it helps the solder to flow easier and helps create a better quality solder joint. It's essential for an easier repair experience and a better quality job.

[@talalkelani1834]

the metal bit thats part of the motherboard itself is still on the pin can i jus soldier it back to its original place? @andrewpaul

[@AndrewPaul]

If the pad has lifted out and is stuck to the connector then it's best to remove it and run a wire. If the pad isn't in the board any more, its connection to the circuit is broken - merely putting it back in place won't restore the connection sadly. If it's a clean break at the end of the pad and the trace is both visible and intact on the board, you might be able to use some PCB epoxy to bond the pad back in place, scrape the conformal coat from the trace leading to the pad and reconnect the two with a coating of solder - it all depends on the condition of the pad, board and ultimately how much time, effort and ££ you want to spend on getting it reinstated.

What should I do about mine? Top left and bottom right pads have ripped off. I can email you pictures of the damage!

[@AndrewPaul]

If it's in the same orientation as per the video thumbnail, top left pad is ground so can be easily linked to the surrounding area by scratching in a new pad next to the pin on the connector and bridging across with solder. This will also help add strength to the repaired connector when it's back in-situ. Bottom right just follow the trace back along to the via at the end and link it there via a jump wire.

How is it possible that these pads could possibly get ripped off? What kind of idiot would open their console and remove the 4-pin connector and tear it out rather than desoldering? Who would deliberately damage their PS4 in this way? I ask because there are lots of comments on KZbin about this exact problem ,and I cannot understand how it could happen.

[@Egon1982]

Usually it gets ripped off when you try to unplug power supply plug from the connector.
