It is my hobby to make war against the "throw away" policy and i am proud about every PS, XBOX or Tb I can rescue. Besides, caused by your excellent explanations (as i can say from GER) you owned one subsciber more.

[@F14foreverF14]

Congrats on the fix, maybe this will finally motivate me to try fix my 7.55 CUH-1200. In 2020 it shutdown with an overheating error message. I left it off for a few hours to cool. Then I removed HDD cover, switched it on and no fan spin at all, but it booted OK to the dash. Bought a genuine replacement fan from eBay seller selling torn-down Ps4s. Cleaned heatsink, replaced fan, removed old thermal paste for some new Ceramique 2. Ps4 kinda works now but randomly shuts down with a clicking sound (kinda like a relay switch click or maybe hdd?) No error message whatsoever. It can sometimes play for over 10hours straight no problems or it may shutdown after 1 or 2 or 3 hours playtime. Once shutdown happens it will just keep on shutting down immediately after powering on. Cure is to leave it the F alone for a couple of days unplugged and it may power on again. Oh yeah if the Ps4 is on and stable and I make the mistake of switching off to take a break, it will have the repeated shutting down problem when I try to switch on again. Had never been jailbroken before 2020 coz i used to update to play the latest & greatest. I only got the 7.55 jb by accident coz the Ps4 is mostly unusable in its current condition so I don't use it or update. Made the 7.55 jb to check temp and try if the fan exploit mod will solve the problem but no joy, Temps are OK btw.

[@TheCod3r]

If it's making a clicking sound from the hard drive bay it sounds like the hard drive is dying. If not, it's likely failing caps in the power supply but you're much better off just replacing the psu if that's the case since they're dangerous to work on and cheap to buy

[@F14foreverF14]

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I could never really pin-point if the click is from the hdd or from elsewhere. I've been debating whether to also buy a 12xx Psu from torn-down eBay Ps4's or instead buy 2.5 Sata Ssd to eliminate a faulty Hdd as source of click, coz I was thinking maybe the Psu has relays clicking (ala my also dead Ps3 which had audible psu relays) & pointing to maybe psu fault. On the confidence of your recommendation I'll get both & hopefully resurect my trusty 1200, wish me luck. Cheers

[@TheCod3r]

@@F14foreverF14 yeah I think the psu is cheap enough to be viable to at least give it a try, along with a hard drive which are super cheap these days 😀

I've seen a few vengeful partners in my time. At one time I worked next door to a storage company and it was not unusual for stuff to be put into storage for the sole purpose of hiding it. They would pay for a month or two but then let the account go into the red knowing full well that the contents would eventually be seized to offset the arrears.

Hi Phil. I have a PS4 1216B that the optical drive is not reading discs. I have swapped the drive and ribbon cables from my own working PS4 and it still comes up with Unrecognized. I know the 1216 optical drives don't have a daughter board so its not that, I have also updated the software, rebuilt the database, did nothing so I then installed a new HDD and installed new software (v10.1 from memory). Tested all the fuses apart from F6001 as I cant find it on that motherboard for some reason but it still will not read discs. Would you have any clue as to what else it could be?

Have you ever worked on an ACM for a ford radio? They have an issue with their radios that is usually referred to as the blinking clock of death. My radio in my truck is having this problem and I can’t find anything about how to fix it besides placing acm mother board into the oven to reset the solder. From what I’ve found it’s a temporary fix for this problem and doesn’t seem like it’s worth the trouble of disassembling just to have it work for about a week.

I've had a few 1215A's here that were dead and reflowing the southbridge fixed them. I think it's possible it was the southbridge and you fixed it indirectly on your station. I don't trust these run cool enough so I also put a thermal pad on the southbridge when I put the board back in.

[@sebastianlarrivee4400]

This is interesting I will say. Purchased a ps4 slim that went down the stairs, and other than the completely destroyed shell, it also has a blod. Though it isn't a 2 second one. It just stays on a pulsing blue light. I have a feeling it may be the apu, but I need to dig around the board first to narrow down possible issues. I did have to replace the inductor on the AC input in that console's power supply too since it literally broke.

If it has to be a guess, it at least is educated guess, it comes with experience when you got things figured out.

[@Artimidorus]

It isn't quite that good to be honest. It's good enough to locate a general area but if it's densely populated it struggles a bit

[@5L4P5T1CK]

From my pov - as long as you dont really make use of it daily - its not worth investing so much to buy a better thermal cam - as soon as u found the general area of the culprit, just go on with alcohol/freeze spray or logic analysis/desoldering.

[@StormsparkPegasus]

Everyone has disagreements with their spouse from time to time. It's normal to get angry, everyone does. Mature people will discuss the cause of the issue with the person, and come to a resolution (usually involving a compromise unless the other person is 100% wrong). Immature people have temper tantrums.

[@TheCod3r]

To be honest even if your significant other is completely wrong, sometimes the right thing to do is just say "yeah OK you're right" and walk away. Small arguments can lead to something way bigger, it's just not worth arguing. It's healthy to disagree and get things off your chest but it should never get to a point where one half can't control emotions

[@StormsparkPegasus]

@@TheCod3r Yeah very true. Although, if the spouse is raging at games and throwing things...that's an issue. If I had been her, I wouldn't have thrown the PS4 out. But I would have said something like "What are you, 12?" And I would've said if he wanted the relationship to continue, he would have to do something about the temper tantrums.

[@StormsparkPegasus]

@@therapture2427 That's ridiculous...what would she even get for it? $5?

[@michaeljamesafier9892]

I think you'd actually be better - at the end of the video - summarising:- 1- how long said repair took you 2- total charge including parts/postage back to the customer Full transparency is key and after having a look on your website there are actually no prices at all, so an "idea" of different prices) charges for different results, would actually attract more potential customers,...if that is one of your goals here.

[@TheCod3r]

To be honest time is something I can't really guage. Things always take longer on video. This video was 1hr 20 minutes long unedited, but if I wasn't filming I'd have got this done in less than 40. Prices are generally on a case by case basis because most repairs are different. I generally add £40 to £60 on to parts costs for most last gen repairs and some current gen repairs. Some of the more complex repairs like bga rework I normally have a flat rate of £80 for last gen and £120 for current gen

[@mistermatix8241]

I just don't get rage quitting. Maybe I appreciate my gear too much, the work that went into making them, designing them, and the fact the kit is EXPENSIVE. To arbitrarily destroy controllers or consoles is unthinkable to me. If I'm losing repeatedly in a section of game, I just approach it differently each time, try different tactics, not smash my controller because I suck at a particular game, a PS5 controller is expensive as hell. A neighbour got a PS5 last year after a LONG wait (I already had mine, pre order) and because he's a shit gamer, he threw it against a wall in rage (he's a knob tbh)......his gf, knowing I had one, ASKED ME sheepishly if he could "borrow" mine because he wanted to play FIFA (a game I despise, I loathe football) as his was "broken" and he needed "calming down".......wtaf, needless to say "you've got to be joking, no chance" was my reply. I found he threw it against a wall from a mate of his. His gf is.....alright, but he is a complete bellend with little man syndrome, and anger issues tbh. I don't think he knocks his gf around though, he just trashes stuff, I've seen smashed tvs, etc in their garden.

Good outlook , If you bare going to get into rage temper tantrum if you get beaten maybe you should not be playing . Thing is we do not know how far his tantrum went

Some people to be honest just have so much of a child's mindset that they can't help put smash things up because they think it'll get them some attention.
