For those with Blue Light Of Death: If it doesn't power on or goes on for a moment (but doesn't turn on the fan) and then dies you most likely have a power supply issue. If your light pulses you can try the added washer fix on the diamond shape clamp (youtube it) and maybe apply new thermal paste. If it turns on and off by itself but doesn't respond when you hit power, then it could be bad power supply or faulty solder joint on the chip. These worked for me most of the time but when they don't then chances are the chip needs to reballed properly. Good luck everyone! Oh and make sure to clean your console from dust with a soft bristle toothbrush (dollar store or wherever) or compressed air can. Not truly necessary but definitely helps prolong the console's life.

[@JustAnotherVibe]

Guys, if you cleaned your PS4 and have a problem getting the PS4 to turn on or it turns on then off, you may have put the power supply back in wrong. Make sure the two long metal pieces are straight and not bent to where it reaches the power brick. Not placing it back in correctly also may make it hard to put the other plastic back on and difficult to put the screws back in the PS4. Went through this myself. Hopes that's the case and you too can save your money.

[@Khayyyem]

Guys i know im a bit late but if this happens to you, then just remove the power cable for like 20 min then plug it back in. This always works for me

[@Nikeishon]

wow men, you was so scare to be on camera back then... love your work

[@Tronicsfix]

Ernest Franz - This is most likely a problem with faulty connections between the APU and the motherboard. This is common with consoles that have been dropped or fall. It's not likely a power supply problem. If it's still under warranty they may fix it for you but I'm not sure.

[@kosmossee4596]

TronicsFix me thing with the ps3 and tey still has problem on the ps4 now..guess when ps4 slim come out that fix the problem..sony should have some sort of warranty fix for their customers...u spend hundres in a console and it gets ad due to hardware not the customer problem but the company sony...sometimes u feel like buying a xbxo one tronics fix dudde i was so happy when geogot the tech genuis hacker hack ps3 back in the day...playstion 3 failed so much it doesn't matter if u the have warranty they kept on failing..yea i know xbxo 360 fail too but still ps3 failed more....and now ps4 failing too the same power supply gpu problem.... i assume xbox one has problems bet there are some videos on youtube but it seem microsoft does ore to fix the problem or improve since xbox 360

[@Tronicsfix]

kosmo seedo It's hard to compare the problem with the PS4 vs Xbox One. Sony has sold 19 million PS4's and Microsoft has sold $11 million Xbox One's (these are the latest numbers I've found) so there are lots more PS4's out there which means that there will naturally be more PS4's with problems. That being said I've seen a lot of PS4's with pattern faults (turning on then back off, HDMI ports, etc) whereas the Xbox One doesn't have as many of those.

[@kosmossee4596]

TronicsFix in a sense u right but am sayin withthe ps3 and xbox 360 they had their red light of death blue light of death etc...they problem with redlod of death it ti was not the power supply it was the bad solder joiny s on the processor...they were to use lead solder it had a higher melting poi nt..not to mention pos3 and xbox had the laser went on on the disk drive they would not play games.........sony should have done better to address those problems withthe ps4 better cooling use lead solder joints on the processor...like u siad ps4 has more problems compare to xbox one..guess microsft improve on its design flaws....it dont matter how many ps4 out there...they had the same problem since ps3 n ow to ps4...ppl invest too much money to go bad like that....

[@ezekielarmstrong9905]

TronicsFix my ps4 clicks turns on for 2 seconds then there is a low beep inside the system then clicks again and turns off. What is this?

[@Tronicsfix]

Ezekiel Armstrong It's most likely not the power supply. You probably have a problem with a bad connection on the APU or a bad APU.

[@TimesCondensedCum]

I was so worried about it being an APU issue. But, when you showed the bad power supply, it acted EXACTLY the way mine is. I've had mine since launch so, I'm definitely relieved that it's probably the power supply

[@dandogdds7974]

Usually after it happens I turn it off and back on, and it starts right up like nothing happened, but as the months go by it seems to be happening more and more often.🙃

[@OuijaBoard5423]

I have another sort of solution. Remove the top panels of the PS4. Then, remove the little metal piece on the right side of the console. Instead of placing washers, push down on one of the little plastic pieces that hold the metal piece in place. While doing this, turn the console on. I've tries this today and it worked so If you can, give it a try :)

[@nandsookhan6743]

My ps4 worked fine for a full 4 years with zero issues so to me, the problems described seem unlikely to me, but I'm no technician. Also, the test run with a bad power supply was helpful, that is not the manner in which my light turns on and off. Thank you.

[@visualswaggy7062]

Same bro I was just playing fortnite and boom my stuff turns off

[@Angrypcgamenerd]

It's great to see that you gave out a neat video of the PS4 console that turns on and right back off again. I never experienced that problem before..... but my friend's PS4 was having the problem the other day that he must have dropped his console from a 5 ft height. Normally the PS4 would have a 50/50 chance of either checking on safe mode or that the unit would fail to boot. It turns out that his console turned on and that the beam of blue light went through the PS4 (and then it suddenly disappears). I would probably guess that the PS4 would have something to deal with a faulty power supply.

[@Tronicsfix]

+MrPcGameNerd It's highly unlikely that it's a power supply issue. Too many people are out buying power supplies for these when that's not the problem. Your's is most likely a bad connection between the APU and motherboard or a bad APU itself. www.tronicsfix.com/store/p25/PS4_Turns_On_Then_Back_Off_Fix.html

[@Angrypcgamenerd]

+TronicsFix I don't believe that I have a bad connection between the APU and motherboard or a bad APU itself. I live in Canada.... so it wouldn't be possible to have my PS4 sent in. Plus I already bought the accidental warranty for 2 years (from the Playstation Store) so I should be able to rest easy. Plus it depends on how people treat their consoles properly, how they store it in room temperature, etc. Some people would take their consoles on the go and that it would have a possible chance that it will fall at a possible 5 ft from the ground (which would have a 50/50 chance of turning on). If it was at 15 ft, it would not survive (unlike an X-box One where it could survive).

[@0ef.x56]

Guys I have a ez fix. So I just cleaned my PS4 and dust just went flying everywhere. When you remove the power supply there are two metal things standing straight Check the spot on the power supply there may be dust inside it and you just have to clean it with a blow dryer or compressed air and that’s it my PS4 turned on right after

[@raifthemad]

One more possibility, if the console has been opened, is that one of the power block connectors is bent, just came across this version, symptom was almost the same. Light came on for a second or two then turned off, when pressed again it just beeped once and if pressed again light came on for 1-2 sec, repeating the pattern.

[@crxckertwexken6472]

My PS4 turns on for 5 seconds with the light and some kind of scream coming from the fan but shuts off shortly after like in the first demonstration. This clearly isn't a power supply issue as it does not have the pulsing light and is alive for a bit longer but I'm confused because there is no straight forward answer. I'm aware I might have to replace the fan itself but don't know what else I'm supposed to get.

Hey i have a question. Basically my ps4 used to have trouble running big games and so i cleaned it and was perfectly fine for a week. But then my ps4 would just randomly turn off without a message(ps4 too hot). So the question is it because of the power supply or something else?

Mine doesn't turn off this quickly. This is what happens for me: I turn the PS4 on and it works normally for hours, I finish and power it down entirely. Then after a few hours it will power itself back on, start to go through the normal boot process and turn off, then this loops where it turns on normally (white light), shows the loading bar on screen for the "improper shutdown" thing and then shuts down. I had to unplug the PS4 to get it to stop, so I did. After a few more hours, I plugged it back in and made sure to really have the power cable stuck in the slot on the PS4, booted it up, and it ended up working fine. Might this be some sort of power connection issue?

[@Dtx.coyote]

Same problem have u fixed it yet?

[@Tronicsfix]

+worldjem I'm not sure about this...It's probably a connection problem between the APU and motherboard but I can't say for sure.

So you know how unplugging the system during use will force it to check system storage on the next reboot. Well, I found by starting my PS4 then unplugging it to trigger this screen will fix the system and let it boot.

[@mmacola1]

This actually worked for me, thanks dude

[@denisclc]

Hi Steve, thank you for this video. My PS4 is acting just like the one you showed with the bad power supply. What I am finding strange is that, I could still fully power on and use my PS4 if I removed the HDMI cable. This worked a few times and now it just act like you showed in the video, regardless of the HDMI cable being plugged in or not. From your experience, is the PS4 power supply easily repairable (for someone with experience in electronics, of course)?

[@Tronicsfix]

+denisclc No, the power supply is not easily repairable.

[@408DJGUERO]

When mine actually turns on it works fine and it usually stays that way but every now and then if I put it on sleep mode or just turn it off when I try to turn it back on it'll turn on and then off. Ill disconnecy it to reset the CPU and most of the time it'll restart again just fine but sometimes it won't work so I will try again until it does. What do you think could be the problem?

[@mikey043]

Thanks so much. My ps4 power supply went bad and thanks to this video I was able to repair it successfully. no reballing or washers needed.

[@kalidasmg]

Hi. Did you have the 1bip blue light light for 1 sec and dies off issue?

[@Plycityrecords]

After turning on n off I plug 🔌 the power out the electric socket then plug it back in and it does the samething but it eventually turn on and works fine after several plug in and out. Thoughts?

[@kianmac3775]

Hi I was wondering if you could help when I turn my PS4 on it comes on and when I log into my account the screen turns black for about a second then the PS4 turns off but when I log into my brothers account the playstation works fine I just wanted if you know how to fix this as I have PlayStation plus on my account and all my progress in the games.

[@kianmac3775]

I have also tried changing cables and changing the location of the ps4

[@DDRaHolic]

Thanks to your video, I was able to diagnose a PSU problem and now my PS4 is working again! Thanks so much for the video!

[@bagfumblers]

so if my ps4 only turns on for a split second i just need to replace my power supply?

[@Tronicsfix]

+SilverLapraz That could be the problem. There's no way for us to know without being able to see it "split-second" is different for everyone.

[@arielh2695]

TronicsFix mine is like a full second... at first I Hurd the ps4 zap and I knew it was that... for a the day it didn’t want to turn on at all and the next morning it those that.... turns on for a second and turns off

It's happening to me been 2 days did all internal cleaning too still has same problem. While playing even at low fan speed ps will turn off and won't turn on again for a while. Any solution?

[@leionpearce8724]

The problem I am having is that my PS4 is turning on and the PS logo is showing up but after that the screen stays black for a minute then turns off. If I hold the power button down for seven seconds, a couple of helpful options show up that I can click on but then the screen goes black and turns of after a minute. Before it started doing this it would take a long time to get into anything that I click into on the home screen and I’m not sure what to do so if you can please help me

[@PuckADV]

I need help, I can play my ps4 for about an hour before it just suddenly turns off, and when I get back on it says that I powered it off wrong, what should I do?

I have the exact same issue i dont know what to do

[@MyMarcus007]

Same anyone found solution?

[@NoRestEffect]

Why am I looking at the motherboard..

[@mikewiththebluecar]

What gets me is I had this problem about a year ago then it went away and I just moved and the problem is back again. I tried connecting the power to a surge protector and also tried just plugging directly into the wall and it still keeps shutting off. My system isn’t getting hot. I’ve installed fans in my entertainment center one blowing in and the other blowing out to keep cool air circulating inside the enclosure and that has dramatically reduced the heat building up. So it seems unlikely that it would be a hardware issue if the problem went away for a year despite using it every single day with no problems. I’m trying a database rebuild and I’ll see what that does.

[@gabegamer3663]

My PS4 turns off immediately after power up - the fan starts spinning and becomes very loud before the console beeps twice and turns off. I am assuming this means the console "thinks" it is over heating and thus spins the fan at rapid rate before shutting itself off. Is the sensor replaceable?

[@menuseboltaction6125]

My ps4 was showing the blue light and beeping then turning off, I tried the fix but the washers I used were plastic and when I tried to turn it back on something flashed and made a pop sound, now there's no light or beep.

Have you had any luck with reflowing the APU chip with liquid flux and a lot of heat?

I don't do reflows. They aren't reliable enough. Even reballs on these aren't always reliable.

[@justchillmypeople5106]

NEED HELP! I accidentally hit my PS4 and it turned off. I tried to turn it back on but then it goes to a black screen for a minute then it pops up with the log in users. After I Try to open an application it turns back off. Is there anyway to fix this?

Im pretty sure u killed your ps4 😩

[@cfriedalek]

Thanks for making this video. It is the key for this problem since it shows clearly how to tell if the power supply is faulty or not. In my case the power supply was good. (I was jut about to buy one). So I followed the instructions on your video "PS4 On And Off DIY Fix" and presto, I now have a functioning PS4. :)

[@Tronicsfix]

+cfriedalek Great! So glad you got yours working!

I have this problem of blue light comming on for a couple of seconds with my brand new ps4 pro and it also cannot be exchanged due to i am not in the country of purchase because covid - 19 please if anyone could help me fix this ?

[@charliebyrne1246]

Hi, I just experienced this issue and was overnight. All working good yesterday, I spent around 30 mins fixing this morning. I kept taking the power in and out, while pressing the power button I would also press the disc tray button. I played around for a while hoping this would wake up the PlayStation. Luckily it worked but unsure if this is temporary or a one off - hope this works for you.

[@noormuhammadmalik2482]

I just love that t-shirt! It's so simple and amazing! :D

[@sapidzombie]

Thanks, Your tip about having to unplug it and plug it back in before blue light would turn on at all lead me to diagnose it as the power supply. Needles to say easy fix once I knew I was in the 10% with bad power supplies.

[@PsnPrez18]

Hey i was wondering. What could be the issue with a PS4 that turns on then off then on then off? The only way to stop it from the on and off cycle is to unplug it. Do you think its the power supply struggling to power on the PS4?

[@happy442]

Best way to fix problem blow it out in every air vent holes you can see with air compressor blower nozzle should do that trick

[@danieljohn4506]

For some reason I’m having trouble unscrewing the power supply. Also I noticed that there’s a beeping noise when I put my ear on the PS4. It’s the back of the PS4 I believe it’s the power supply. What do you think? It was working fine but it maybe old since I had this PS4 5 and a half years.

I have opened it up (warranty stickers were intact when I bought it) the fan doesnt spin at all (although a couple of times its tried to spin). anyone any ideas?

spinksy173 mine does the same turns on blue light goes off after 3 or 2 seconds but then if i press the power button, its like i turned it off.

[@valentynlyevyentsov]

How to tell the difference, counting from when the lights turn on: Bad Power Supply: *beep* > count two second (no fans spinning) > off Bad PSU/Contacts: *beep* > count three seconds (fans may spin a bit) > off I have established that mine has a bad power supply with this method.

[@louisgreenleaf235]

Not always the case
