PS4 power button fix

[@GenSneaky81]

My PlayStation stopped turning on. Watched all the other “fixes” for my PS4 wont turn on and nothing worked. My power button hasn’t worked in 6 years. Used this video to fix my power button, and low and behold I have a working PS4 again! THANK YOU! In 2022!!!

[@mikem2k6]

And I need it to NOT work bcs it puts itself into sleep mode almost all the time. Got it open, put a nylon tape between the hinge and the gold connector and closed it. On/Off button doesn‘t work no more. I hope that connector was causing the auto-sleep/turning off issue🤞 @GamerJoe85 thx for showing how the on/off button works. Haven’t found it elsewhere.

[@pyropadmore]

Remember that top part slides on not clicks on...thts probably y it didnt work...but idk about the goin into sleep mode bit....maybe u need to slide it on too not click it on

[@mikem2k6]

I can say that the button now not working, my PS4 never puts itself into sleep mode again. So I would say it´s a success.

[@olasehindeafeez1277]

Mine isn’t working

[@kylko2000]

Mine only turns on with my controller after cleaning it lol

[@sixfoot0]

Great help bro!!! fixed one that was sold for 45 bucks. 10 minute under the hood and I now own a perfectly working ps4 for $45 bucks.

Thanks this video fixed all my issues. My power button hadn’t been working for a couple of years and I would always use my controller to power on. My PS4 started having issues and I was unable to fix them without being able to access the safe mode menu. Within seconds of properly securing the metal piece, the power button worked again and I was able to access safe mode and now my PS4 is working great!

[@minhdao3428]

Openned my PS4 for the first time to clean it today and had power button stopped working after reassembling it. This video talked exactly about what the problem was and it helped me fix my power button. You're a hero sir!

Your video saved my PS4 in 2021 :)

quick, simple and right into the point. i fixed in in like 30 seconds literally. huge thanks good sir.

I’ve checked all over KZbin. But only this video worked. It helped us a lot. Thanks!

OH MY GOD THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I fixed my PS4 and didn't have to send it to PlayStation! Thank you so much!!!

[@LadySkehan93]

My power button on my PS4 has been broken for a very, VERY long time. Today I watched your video because I was having trouble turning my console back on after initialization and after putting it back together again I saw that little blue light I haven't seen in a long time. I could literally squeeze you! Thank you so much 🙌

Perfect fix. Literally had my problem solved in 2 minutes.

Brilliant video. I purchased a no power PS4 a week ago. Found this video right away. PS4 turned up today and lo and behold this was the issue! Now to fully strip and thermal paste this bad boy 🤣

God bless you, brother, I was looking for the solution and I never thought about this that you have raised. I admire you, you are a great one.

Your an absolute god send bro, fixed my problem immediately and I’m no technician or anything you just gave an immediate fix thank you !!!! So much dude

[@shannonlauren7204]

Thank you soooo much for this. I was stuck in safe mode and couldn’t use my controller and this video literally saved my PS4. And I was able to use a hair clip instead of a screwdriver 😅

I thought my PS4 was dead until I found your video. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

Man you just really helped me out. Power button was broke for months, as I dropped my PS4 by accident. After watching your vid it’s now working perfectly. Thank you for this video 👍👍👍

Thank you so much. This is exactly what happened to me, and since today I had a power outage I couldn't turn it back on. I just fixed it. Really man, thank you so much.

[@natasc]

DUDE YOU'RE THE BEST!! 6 years without the power button working on my ps4 and now is ALIVE! Just a tip: my ps4 has never been opened, so I just took off the cover a little but and it was enough to solve the problem with the little piece of metal.

[@ohhmana-]

Absolute legend my power button hasn't worked in 2 years now I can transfer my data to a ps4 pro

I installed a ssd and ran into this issue ... Your video is the best thing i saw ... Instant fix and my ps4 is back .. thanks a ton !

Good job on the video man. Been wondering why it wasn't turning on after I cleaned it. To be honest, your video has been the most helpful out of all the threads and posts I've seen online. Great job.

[@Chrononightmare]

UPDATE: i used your same method for my disk drive button since that had the same issue. turns out the metal part that touches the pad to activate it wasnt even touching it. good job all around.

Once I realized that all you needed to do was press a piece of metal against that metal square on the ps4, I was actually able to bend up the plastic cover and press a paper clip against the metal piece of the PS4. My original tab was pretty bent so this allowed me to transfer my ps4 data to my ps5 without taking the cover off. Thanks for the demonstration, great video!

[@giancola123]

You DO know that the clear plastic with two torx screws holding it down is supposed to stay attached to your silver top cover right? If you had removed those torx screws too then the power button would not be an issue. If you keep flexing/bending metal, especially that thin, it will suffer metal fatigue and break, then you're really screwed.

I was racking my brain trying to figure out why my ps4 wouldn't turn on by the power button. This was exactly what I needed! Thanks so much!

This helped!! Btw your fridge has a defrost issue. That noise is the evaporator fan hitting frost that hadnt defrosted during the defrost cycle. If you unplug it and leave the doors open for 12 hours “not running” doors OPEN!. To defrost all the ice inside the evaporator, it will work great and if the noise returns you have either a bad defrost timer, bi metal/heater.... i kmow you prolly have a new fridge by now but you helped me so im helping whoever too lol. - appliance refrigeration instructor
