People always ask where to buy the thermal camera used in this video, so here it is: s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DE9oktR I get a kickback if you use my referral link which all helps the channel :)

[@ronlevin2339]

did you had a problem with the app (android ) ?

[@TheCod3r]

@ronlevin2339 no I just use it on the PC because I need to be able to show it on videos but mine works perfect on the android app

[@andrewbennett4102]

My son and I have just watched this video and realised it was ours. He was excited to see it fixed. Thank you. It had been to a local console repair, who said it was an unfixable apu fault. The probable reason for it not being put back together properly is he was expecting us not to want it back 🤔. We are now looking forward to getting it back in a working condition 😀. It sat in front of the TV for a year before I plucked up the courage to send it in for a second opinion. So glad I did 😅

[@hsp1316]

How long did the ps4 work after this repair?

[@joseph_donovan]

Wow! That was a sweet repair! Made my ear lobes tingle with delight. Bravo! Loved it!

[@ajaks7636]

That was just weird. Great Video and Repair, none the less! Thanks.

[@pmyhill]

Lights look great behind the TV 👍

[@LKBRICKS1993]

I enjoyed watching this. Very interesting to watch.

[@dantenage9687]

Dude, you're something else

[@Syntappi]

My Mate Vince hand same kinda thing on some Xbox. He injected voltage from the bench psu and suddenly the console started working :D

[@LKBRICKS1993]

Looking forward to this one.

[@MrReeceyburger123]

Slims are weird, I had one ages ago pulsing blod. Left it on over night, came back next day rebooted and been fine ever since. Sold it to a mate :D

[@garrettsmith-h8q]

i might do this💀

[@Rockout52]

Touch of genius to colour code your hands Phil so as not to get them mixed up, lol, it could possibly end up being the most popular tip in the video!

[@MultiKnez]

Hi, i have ps4 slim with shorted caps around RAMs, at 1.8V rail on voltage regulator. Any ideas?

[@game_master_rukia]

what causes the 6 second blue light? i have an og ps4 with that fault and no idea what to look for

[@TheCod3r]

Normally the southbridge mate

[@game_master_rukia]

@@TheCod3r as in bad solder connection or failed altogether

[@TheCod3r]

@@game_master_rukia a lot of the time bad solder connection. Sometimes a reflow will fix it

[@DankeShowt]

What is the normal cause for a 2 second blue light of death? I'm all the way in Ghana and finding help to fix it seems impossible.

[@TheCod3r]

There is no normal cause. It can be hundreds of different reasons. You will need to fault find it and go through the steps to get to the bottom of it

[@Nimmbin]

Maybe you just intimidated the Console into working... From now on you are TheCod3r Norris 😛

[@3absisoRA]

Most likely it will come back... Had few of these.. the apu about to die

[@retroentertainmenttv9805]

so, what happened to that ps4 from tronicsfix? will we see another fixing attempt?

[@jvdebsjv1373]

Why does the southbridge fail on these consoles??

[@Dark0ull.]

So im currently experiencing the blue light of death, but in my case the ps4 actually turns on, it just doesn't display anything and the blue light keeps blinking. A lot of people have recommended me to boot it up on safe mode, but i cant do that since it doesnt give me a second beep. All it does when i hold down the button is eventually turn off again. I have changed power cables and HDMI but nothing seems to work.

[@jonathanpearce3773]

Could those ceramic capacitors be multilayer? They tend to go complete short - common on Xbox controllers. May be worth checking the capacitance of each one.

[@K-RFURY.ELETRONICA]

Hi friend My ps4 won't install the system, what do I do?

[@eticetic7262]

thit is hapend to my ps but now its again blod and fan is spining did this console come again to fix?

[@Fordgpw1942ocalafl]

How fun would that be if you used pcb way to design a ps4 mobo

[@DJ_Bola]

If it turns of in 2 seconds what could that be?

[@Dean2162]

Hi sorry to bother you I have my grandsons ps4 . It comes on and you can play for as long as you want but when you switch it off. It come on blue light for a second then turns off. If I unplug it for a minute then plug back in it works fine? This is with using the controller to switch on or button. Could this be power pack thanks for your time a greatfull grandad Dean

[@manutdandy2k182]

Hi there buddy I seem to have almost the same problem as what this console had but mine will power up , the fan the disc drive both work but there isn’t a display on the screen & it just pulses on & off in the blue light fashion ok the only way I can get it to fully power down is to , simply un plug it from the power source I have had it apart not all the way down to the full motherboard, but I have cleaned it all out ok then I mean I did leave it on for 45 mins the last time & there was still no change at all it has been through a tough time but other than that , it lasted ages until it decided to cough & splutter then come on once but that was probs January or February last year but since then I haven’t had much luck trying to get it to work again , I don’t know how to solder or anything like that ok. Do you have an email address at all & where are they selling ps4 slim models for like £125-130 brand new other than eBay or maybe some other places?

[@andrewbennett4102]

It is still working.

[@syedsam7551]

I have a PS4 Slim which is not working, it will not turn on: When I click on the Power button, it beeps, the Blue light flashes for few seconds and then it goes away. No white light. Any idea what is the issue? How do you fix it?

[@Fit_rivals]

The power needs to be changed

[@yorkaturr]

The only difference I noticed is that you didn't have the fan plugged in first and only plugged it in mid boot sequence and the second time round you had it plugged it in from the start. Could that be it?

[@Adam75Smith-yg3es]

my white ps4 turns on fan goes really fast like its going to take off then turns off strate away by its self again think it mite be do do with power port

[@TheCod3r]

No mate it's overheating by the sound of it

[@t4nk3d402]

I see you created an SSID for the workshop!!

[@randomoroski9870]

guys try change the power cable , worked for me..

[@gilbertlo1989]

[@seanjay9626]
