PS4 Slim CUH-2xxx BD-ROM No Disc Feed - Fault Diagnosis and Board Repair (SAD-001) - SU-42118-6

[@otakufish]

I absolutely love these videos! I run a game console repair shop, and you are responsible for a good number of component-level repairs that we can do. Used to need to fail out any system that had issues with the drive control circuitry. I don't know how/where you get all this information, but you are seriously my hero for sharing it!

[@Tronicsfix]

Great video and explanation. I'm finding lots of these bad fuses as well.

[@AndrewPaul]

Cheers mate - it's weird as they've used a smaller form-factor fuse in here than the older boards. Are you finding they're like this one where they're more-or-less welded to the board as well? Not a very clever specification change by the looks of things. :(

[@Tronicsfix]

Yes, they are on there! Not very clever for repairers.

[@wasivis_]

TronicsFix Hi! Do you know the Amperage and Voltage of the F6202 fuse? I need to replace it but don’t know which one to get :(

[@michaelharmon9714]

Im also having trouble with ps4 slim f6202. I saw the comment to get a 1A very fast fuse, smd im guessing but there are so many different kinds online. Please help

[@rickstechrepairs]

Exact fault i have been looking for, suspected the mechanism on the drive were fine, thanks for your insight!

[@johncross436]

I don't know if you will see this but - thank you for this video - I have just used it to fix one here in the US. This is the smallest Surface mounted item I have replaced so far and I felt like such the pro afterward.

[@TheSoonerfanchuck]

So far this is the most informative video I've seen on ps4 drives not working...I'm gonna see if this is what's plaguing my system. Thanks for going in more depth than everyone else!

[@VladimirPlavac]

On the ps4 I fixed thanks to one of your videos (not slim but it had the exact same problem). The fuse wouldn't come off with hot air so I didn't even try to replace it and solder the one I picked from a PC motherboard on top of it. Worked perfectly and I didn't risk to damage the pins more that way.

[@fallenwolf3250]

U basically replaced the entire motherboard?

[@midnitejmpr9429]

Thank you so much! Without this extremely well made instructional video I would have never been able to figure out why my PS4 failed let alone how to fix it! Thank you!!!

[@AndrewPaul]

Glad I could help!

[@triplezero8549]

My sincere thank you, I had checked the fusibleis before, however your video made me measure them again and find an open one. A hug from Brazil!

Cara, seu PS4 tava dando SU-42118-6 antes de ver o fusível? Como você arrumou, colocou outro? O meu tá assim, se puder ajudar, agradeço muito!

Just did this repair In my shop, would of never known that was what was blown! Thanks a lot

[@martinmclaughlin4564]

Hello Andrew,first of all i should thank you,i've had a ps4 slim here putting up the error code su-42118-6 and tried everything from reinitializing console and swopping drive,i also replaced the renesas ic on board with the same error coming up and then i stumbled on your video here as the drive would not take in games so i thought id give it a try and found out that the fuse you highlighted here was the problem i had,i replaced it and viola ps4 reinitialized and i currently have fifa playing,if it wasnt for you then this ps4 would have been going to the scrap pile,keep upthe good work,you have just saved me a lot of time and confusion as to what was wrong.So this solved the SU-42118-6 error for me

[@martinmclaughlin4564]

Iván Montequín Hello Ivan,I just replaced mine from a donor board and it worked perfect and the customer is very happy,that was nearly a month now,try contacting Paul on here and he should respond to your question 😊

[@lotusflowerr]

I have the same exact error and I’ve tried everything I hope this works

[@vichiluu9675]

Many thanks Andrew. I just fixed my Slim by replacing the F6202 with a F5104 from a spare SAB-001 motherboard. At first the replacement didn't work. After that I suspected the fuse wasn't properly soldered onto the motherboard. so I touched each end of the fuse with the tip of the soldering iron to reflow the solder. That fixed the issue :)

[@electronicsoverhaul]

Same issue in the SAD-002 boards as well. Found some Panasonic and Vishay Beyschlag fuses rated at 32V.

[@28KKaann]

Does the fuse need to be 32v?

I've done a bunch of these repairs on Slims and only one on a Pro so far.. this issue is still a problem.. more of a problem on the older standard model. The PS4 is the 360 of this generation. Great Video.. keep up the good work :)

[@TheRcCarFan]

Do you know if the F6202 fuse on the Pro is the SMD element right next to the F6201 fuse, which has N marking for a fuse but the other I am not certain if its a resistor or a fuse ( has no continuity for me )

Hi Andrew, big thanks for all the work you do! I have an SAE-001 (CUH-2116A) with this problem, but all the fuses I can find on this board that you mention check out fine in continuity, 6201, 6202, 5001 and 6001. Board layout is different though, and I can't find any schematics. Any chance you're familiar with this model?

No problem at all my friend and good to hear all is well :-)

[@godfatherdon3392]

@@AndrewPaul FS6202 had blown on mine. Awesome video and it's amazing to see someone (you) takes the time to post component level diagnosis videos for people even though each person that fixes their PS4 using these videos is a potential lost sale. Keep up the great work! I even see repair shops using these videos. The only thing I would add is a shot of the multimeter for people to see what the readings are (Not an issue on testing continuity). Thanks so much, my daughter is elated that it's working again

[@KansasCityHippie]

Great video, I've had quite a few come in with bad fuses. I'm still not sure why they keep blowing since after replacing them it works fine and doesn't blow again. I need more scrap PlayStations.

[@finalman321]

Got a PS4 Pro NVB-004 motherboard that keeps blowing fuse F6202 which is Blu-ray drive related. What draws off of it is the BD7764MUV and\or the Rensas\Mediatek chip

[@AndrewPaul]

It's usually a bad mechanism motor if it keeps blowing.

[@finalman321]

Unfortunately the laser and drive motors work on other PS4s fine. Tried two drives same result. Placing a disc in the drive slot turns on the PS4 but it does not and cannot pull it into the PS4. Making the PS4 think there is a disc in the PS4 I see and hear the laser lens (not the laser unit) move up/down ever so slightly then nothing cause the fuse goes, doesn't ever get to the point the spindle motor spins or the sled motor moves the whole laser.

[@AndrewPaul]

I'd change BDV7764 as a starter then bud.

[@finalman321]

Unfortunately I'm not skilled enough and don't have the tools for IC chip reworking. Can I ask though do you know if the BD7764MUV chip is responsible for movements of the micro stepper motor / sled mechanism inside of the laser unit? I ask this as the fuse blows when there is movement on that motor.

[@AndrewPaul]

It does.

[@scottrocks1993]

I had a PS4 I was fixing for someone had the exact same problem. It was the same fuse. I fixed it it works perfectly now

Having the same problem. After the 7.50 update this morning my drive stopped working completely. After the download my PlayStation slim turned off but didn't restart automatically and when I did It wouldn't accept or eject with no noise. When I went to safe mode it said I still needed the update despite it showing it installed.

[@Geo37man]

Same, have you found a fix?

[@packzy]

This is sadly what you'll have to do, I had the same exact issue

[@adingahinga]

so. if all 4 of these fuses pass a continuity check, but i have no disc feed, i either need to replace the motor board in the optical drive (KLD 004) or the whole optical drive right? for perspective, inserting a disc into the front of the drive to trip the switches on the motor board powers on the console if it's off, but does nothing else. no feed, no rolling, no noise.

[@flokeiler]

how often did you tried it until it finally worked?

[@cairnserelli72]

Nice one Andrew. Had one of these last week...used my only donor board for just one fuse. Do you know if any of the fat models have the same fuse values? I have a ton of them laying around but I don't know if, say, a BDP-025 would have the same fuse values. Water, Water everywhere and not a fuse to drink!

By any chance do you have videos for the ps3 disc drive repairing? I put in a CD and didn't read it so now it is stuck in there.

[@Txp91]

Hello what causes this to happen. My gf had a ps4 slim with a faulty power supply and we took it to a repairshop. After getting it back the console worked fine but the disc drive would not take discs. I think they must have mishandled the motherboard upon replacing the power supply. Because the cd drive worked just fine before the repair. Any thoughts? Thank you. 😊😊

[@bsbhogal]

Awesome 👏 thank you 🙏🏽

[@amaradiarra168]

that was my solution thank you very much

[@pte_n0vember]

Question: Will this problem not repeat itself since we don't know what caused the blown fuse? Or do these types of fuses inevitably blow due to peaks in the network/old age.

How about a PS4 that takes disc but not how it should, really slow and sometimes have to help it finish it's job. Also when it does finally take the disk it gets read problems

[@aaronajbird07]

Would any Fast Acting 1A Micro fuse work?

[@Chungalin]

Exactly the same issue here, and same open fuse. The loading mechanism is working apparently fine, because I’ve disconnected the FFC ribbon that gets to the motor and applied about 4V to loading motor and it loads/ejects OK. Any idea of which is the Amper rating of these fuses? I don’t have any donor to get the fuse and I never bridge any fuse. Otherwise I’ll have to solder the thinnest wire I can find (from some coaxial braid, etc.).

[@Chungalin]

I’ve soldered a 1A 125V axial minifuse in place of F6202. I’ve found a post in a forum stating that this fuse could be a LittelFuse 435 series, 0402 size, 1A 32V very fast. Luckily there’s enough room for my "large" replacement close to a coil. The metal cover has extra space there and doesn’t touch it. I’ve put some kapton tape to prevent any accidental contact. It works again, thanks!

[@sauroonek6395]

Thanks for help!!! :)

[@CPxOctav65Live]

Hi, please tell me what is the value of resistance ?.

[@OldSkoolF]

Excellent.... Weren't you worried why the fuse popped and if it would do the same thing?? ALSO.. What type of flux and swabs do you use???

[@AndrewPaul]

These motors peak at relatively high amps when they start - after a few years with dirt / dust on the rollers and a lack of lubrication on the mechanism it takes more effort for the feed motor to advance the mechanics, thus drawing more peak power and eventually blowing the fuse over time. It can also be caused by helping 'push' the disc in as it auto feeds - this is a bigger issue on the slim PS4 as they use a lower rated fuse which exacerbates the issue. Typically, if you're finding your fuse is popping often, clean the drive, lubricate the mechanisms and replace the feed motor - they get weaker over time and again can cause premature fuse failure.

[@OldSkoolF]

@@AndrewPaul thanks for the reply..... I also figured it might have a "batch" flaw like Caps did in the early 2k's.... Great vids keep em coming...

@AndrewPaul Do you know the size of this smd chip? I had 1 donor board kicken around and like an idiot I wasnt paying attention and the fuse got blown away by the heat gun air....I know F6202 was marked "L" which is 1.75A but dunno the size and if its sb or fb? From reading (what limited respurces there are) it is a 1.75A SB fuse? just dunno smd size...the other fuses on tge donor board seems to be of a different Amp rating...

[@AndrewPaul]

Hi, They are 0402 size.

[@finalman321]

Unless you know for certain the fuse manufacturer Sony used you cannot go by the fuse marking as they are different amongst fuse manufacturers and fuse amp ratings. I'm seeing people in the replies replace commonly with a 1 amp and haven't seen any return to say that it blew during their testing. So it's safe to assume the original fuse was 1 amp or less.

[@anes4375]

Why does this problem even happen ? It works fine then suddenly does not ? Is it because it gets hot or something and then the continuity stops ?

[@xx_ars_enic_xx2831]

i have problem with auto disc feed change out disc drive then it does the same i have now tested all the fuses and they all fine any advice for me please Warm Regard Martin

[@royaleliteguardian]

Not sure if you still look at your old video comments, But i have looked at all 3 fuses and all tone out but i still get error SU-42118-6 and the drive will not accept any disc. Any ideas where else i can check?

[@AndrewPaul]

If the fuses are good, check to see if the motor spins with 12v applied. If it does, then it could be a failed motor controller IC, but more likely it's a failed Renesas IC which is not a repairable issue unfortunately as it's unique to each and every PS4.
