Excellent video Phil! Stuck on a PS4 with this exact same issue. Have already replaced the HDMI, Encoder, and a blown filter but it still doesn't display

[@TheCod3r]

Thanks very much. Generally if you've run out of options it could be the southbridge which would need replacing. I'd say before going after the southbridge though just double check the port, filters, diodes and fuse and if all else fails I'd change the southbridge :)

got a question, just recently done my first hdmi port repair and i can say it went flawless, however, i still have no image, hdmi now gets detected but for a second then goes, the old port was severely destroyed with all the pins inside the port touching each other, and was powered on like that beforehand, now, ive tried removing that shield and ripped the ground pad, ive looked closely and nothing looks damaged, no shorts and the system still powers on fine with the same hdmi issue, whats the chances its the hdmi chip itself thats gone faulty? everything reads fine and i have checked my port solder joints and all look nice under the microscope. thanks mate :)

dude why the heck did you put so much pressure to test a diode? you damn nearly severed 8 traces and tore the solder off the right side of the diode.... lol

[@TheCod3r]

I didn't put a tonne of pressure, I put a little pressure and slipped, it happens. If I was to damage something I'd repair or replace it out of pocket. Accidents happen and nobody is perfect all of the time

[@antagonizerr]

This is interesting. I have two PS4s, one is gen 1 with the other being much much newer, and they have this issue that I need to have the TV on FIRST before I turn on the machine or the TV won't detect the PS4. I have to hard boot the PS4 and make sure I get the sequence of having the TV on first to get it to connect. This happens on multiple TVs as well. One is in my shop and one is in my home, each on their own TV.

Hi mate. Love your vids. Can I ask you is there a fix for PS4 pro not reading disc when inserted? It works with tapping the top as I put the disc in or if I turn the ps4 on its side when I put the disc in but is there an actual fix?!!

[@TheCod3r]

Yeah you'd need to replace either the laser inside the drive or just replace the entire disc drive unit. They're pretty straight forward to replace really

Hi Phil my ps4 model chu-1115A boots up to white light but the tv does not see any hdmi signal at all. . When I plug my other ps4 in I do have the option to select the hdmi port that the ps4 is on. Same cable same tv. It is like there is no communication via hdmi from the ps4 to the tv. Thanks for the video

Hi mate how much do you charge to do this repair ive just been given a ps4 and its doing exactly the same as this one

[@hphp7587]

Cod3r i need your help. The 2 voltage regulators in hdmi area have been damaged. They are sot23-5 i believe. However i am unable to find a replacement with the same pin configuration. I believe they are ldo, one outputs 2.2v and other 5v. There is a photo on ifixit with voltages measured. I cant buy from Ali or china because of import ban.

[@MrAmstel123]

Excellent video. Can I use the hdmi encoder from a different ps4 on this model, or are there different ones on each model?

[@TheCod3r]

Unfortunately not. The PS4 1000 and 1100 series uses the MN86471A encoder where as the PS4 1200, PS4 Slim and PS4 Pro all use the MN864729

Great video again Phil, do you know if a faulty encoder chip can also cause a BLOD? I've got the same model here and my tv picks up a signal but no display and it's stuck on BLOD (slow pulsing) also no USB Power, hdd has been replaced but console won't go to safe mode. Holding the power button makes it beeps twich but it turns off then instead of safemode. Keep up the great contant m8 i really enjoy every video.

[@TheCod3r]

Cheers mate. It can if you have a short on the chip where pin 13, 15 or 16 go, but it's very rare. Generally it's going go be something unrelated like the APU or RAM

I have an original ps4 that output a picture for a little while and the next thing I noticed was that it started to output picture for a little while like on and off and now it does nothing. The ps4 has a solid white light though, so could you give me any tips about what to check on the board? The hdmi does not look damaged, but I did notice that two of the pins between the board and the hdmi connector were loose and I did reflow them, though not sure if all are fine now as I do not have a magnifying glass to check.

Hiya Phil - Quick question - If all the traces from the HDMI need to be exactly the same length then how are able to run new cables when a port gets ripped out and the traces are damaged?

[@TheCod3r]

Good question. A lot of specification does state that for optimal performance they need the individual pairs to be matching length (I.E TMDS D0+ and TMDS D0- should match), I believe the tolerance is +3mm which seems like nothing but in terms of micro soldering and running jumpers that's pretty huge. I believe that's sometimes the reason for glitching on some trace repair jobs but it could also cause other issues like audio being out of sync or things we don't generally notice like occasional frame drops by the TV. I'm not an engineer but I believe that's how it works anyway 😀

Hello dear, I have a ps4 pro, with artifacs, I changed all the memories, SIE, video output chip, and it's still the same, I noticed that I don't have pulses in 2 coils, I see that the fault could be 80% PWM: XDPE10281B -SY01, do you know where I can get it?

Sadly I don't know where to get that chip. I would say though that if you have artifacts it likely has a failing APU

@@TheCod3r The strange thing is that with the reballing that I did to the GPU, it should have failed more, right? The artifacts are not constant, and sometimes the system exits and I have to enter from the user menu again, what I don't know is that if those 2 faces that fail are activated when they are necessary or simrep are activated.
