Top 5 PS4 Problems With Solutions

- Top 5 PS4 Problems:
1) HDMI port problems. The first few models of PS4 had a huge problem with bad HDMI ports. The PS4 Slim and PS4 PRO don't have as much of a problem with it but it still does happen.
2) Turns On Then Back Off/Blue Light of Death. This is a common problem with all PS4's...even the newer models have this problem.
3) Overheating. Most consoles that have this problem either have a faulty fan or they need to be cleaned. Many times cleaning and replacing the thermal paste will fix this issue.
4) Disc Drive Problems. Many consoles have had problems with the rollers popping out of place when the disc is pulled out quickly. They also have had a lot of problems with the laser lens not reading discs.
5) Cockroaches. This is a common problem, especially with consoles from the southern US. PS4's are perfect cockroach houses. Bug infested consoles are not covered under warranty so Sony will not fix them. The best thing to do is to keep them from getting in in the first place.

Just wanna say thank you so much man with your help I fully repaired two ps 4 consoles this morning from disk drive to board , your tutorial covered literally everything I need to know and needed to do , thank you so much for all the input .
Got an ebay PS4 for £70 including postage with a broken disk drive opened it up and found a coin jammed in the mechanism and that was all that was wrong with it :)

Same here, I bought one for $90 with broken disc drive as well. I found a nickel in it and the rollers just needed a quick wipe down with IPA, and works just fine now.

Hey, this is a very informative video! I appreciate having this compilation of common problems with these consoles so that in case anything does happen I can be sure to be prepared, or in the very least informed. I’m familiar with most of these problems, but the fixes are very useful to keep in mind! However, I do have a question that may or may not be completely unrelated to any of the issues mentioned here:
I have a FAT model PS4 (it’s a limited edition though so I believe it does have some slight improvements like power use in comparison to the launch models). Sometimes when I’m playing it, I may hear this quiet little “beep” coming from within the system. It’s not nearly as loud as the powering off or overheating beep, but it can be heard if you’re paying attention. I am not sure if it occurs in random increments or not, but it is somewhat concerning to me whenever I do hear it. I can’t recall if this was always something that happened, as the first couple of years I’ve had it have been a little blurry, but I do in fact believe this has been occurring for the past 2 years or so. Is this a sign of some unknown issue or is it the machinery within the console just doing it’s normal stuff whilst running? Thanks.

I’m incredibly surprised to hear one of the most common problems isn’t with the touch sensitive buttons on the original PS4 that cause it to turn itself on/off and eject the disc sporadically, considering how many people experience this
Had a PC that would reboot itself randomly, spent months trying to isolate the problem, unplugged the touch reset button, problem solved.
Probably because you can’t really fix those issues. You just have to be careful with them…
Hi i have a ps4 white light problem and need advice.
So i traded a faulty xbox one original for a supposed faulty ps4 original from a person that fixes consoles that wanted the Xbox for spares.
So on the day i got home with the ps4 i used my ps3 cables to power it on and it miraculously powered on which surprised me as the controller was connected properly using the usb cable.
But i saw the screen flash black then back to the home screen which i didn't know what is was then it did it once more and was displaying perfectly.
After about 5 mins of waiting for it too show some errors or switching off because i did not expect it to work i plugged in my usb speakers to the other usb port on the front while the controller was plugged in.
That was when the screen went black instantly. I didn't know what happened and pressed the eject button and a copy of GTA 5 came out which means the console was still powered on.
When i plug the controller and speakers in on my ps3 super slim at the same time is says too many devices drawing power something like that.
So i think it drew too much power on the ps4 and caused a wlod on the ps4.
Im trying to do a home repair with minimal tools and if you could give me some idea of what the usb ports could have shorted eg a transistor or fuses or something.
It still powers on and everything but that was the defining factor i think that contributed to the white light of death.
Any recommendations would help as ive watched a lot of CZcams videos and most are the ic chip or some transistor .
Its a original ps4 with wlod
Wow! Thanks so much for taking time to share this information with us! Much appreciated! ✌🏾
You're welcome!

I really enjoy watching your repair and educational videos! Your delicate work doesn't go unnoticed.. If I ever need work on mine I would love for you to help me out with the repair.
honestly give it a go yourself, follow a tutorial, be delicate and organise the parts you won't go wrong. done a ps3, ps4 and ps4 pro myself upgrading and replacing parts and installing new thermal paste.
My Ps4 has always been plugged into a power strip and I've been having the blue light problem as well. Glad there is still a possibility for me to fix my ps4 without getting a hardware fix/ps4 replacement.
Nice video. My PS4 has been the most reliable Playstation I’ve ever owned since my OG Playstation, not PSOne, but just plain old Playstation ala 1996. PS2 had disc read problems, so I bought a slim, and PS3 I had repaired four times, and bought another.
PS4 has been rock solid so far. I use it everyday, between 2-10 hours a day as its our entertainment center basically. Plays blurays, youtube, Hulu, HBOgo, Netflix, Amazon, etc.
I love your video because you explained everything so well and easy too understand
Thanks
Glad you liked it!
Jinxzork Say screw it and buy a Wii U or Switch!
Yes, I bought a few ps4s that were broken and every one had a bad hdmi port, even had one that look like it had been repaired but the soldering was really bad. I never had a problem with my own personal day1 ps4 though and the hdmi has been plugged in/out 1000s of times
Thx for the overheating concept. I actually thought that my ps4 slim has fault and now I'm relieved. Thank you sir🙏

It's amazing this is 5years ago. My slim shuts of after 1-2 seconds. Took it apart 2-3 years ago due to the disk drive dust cover fell off into the drive. Used your videos to help me take it apart etc. Worked for about 6-9 months and then the blue light of death.

Great video. Very informative, however, I was hoping they would talk about freezing
The solder balls cracking problem is common to all flip chips / BGA mountings (i.e. Xbox/PS2 onwards, strikingly prominent in the seventh generation with Xbox 360 and PS3) due to the redistribution of metals in the solder alloy and even on the copper pads themselves, that get sort of "eaten away" by solder to an extent. This thing is well known since the 90s in scientific articles, before even the PS2 came to be. Flip chips are basically time bombs likely to fail sooner or later IF serious heat sinking countermeasures are not taken. Redistribution of metal is faster at high temperatures. Board warping and solder ball cracking kick in earlier if the console isn't cooled down properly; this sort of design flaws contribute to the overall behaviour of the solder.
Reballing isn't guaranteed to fix the problem; flip chips have tiny solder balls between the chip itself (that shiny rectangle on the smaller organic board) and the organic board, which is soldered directly on the motherboard. If those tiny solder balls fail, there ain't any "reballing" that can fix it, only a complete CPU/GPU/APU replacement with a brand new one.
The real problem is crappy lead-free solder.
Replacing the crappy fake lead-free solder with real leaded solder balls makes for proper reballing repairs as long as the chip itself as well as the actual pads on the board and the chip are not damaged.
Some of the chips on the older consoles had RAM chips BGA-mounted on the processor chip base itself, and more often than not those would get bad as well; the fix was to de-lid the chip and attempt to reball those, but at that point the effort and time spent was only barely worth it to save the one chip - and all because of inferior solder, and the environmentalist crazies who made it happen.
Nice T-Shirt 👍😁
Very informative video as always, no idea how I haven't watched it until now. I must say your videos have come a long way since 👍
Great video! I've already had the 1) Hdmi and 4) Dvd drive problems, now I should clean my 2015 ps4 to avoid the 3) Overheat problem
And now i'm really paranoid that my ps4 will break any moment ! Thanks i guess
Ha, ha...you're welcome! Lots and lots of PS4's never have problems. These are just the most common repairs I see at my repair shop.
TronicsFix I have 4 ps4's. One for me and one for each kid. Mine is the one with physical buttons, the other three have capacitive buttons and one has the eject whenever the hell it feels like problem. I have removed the rubber foot and constantly clean it are there any other ways to fix that?
+adonian Open your ps4 and place a piece of sticky tape over the eject sensor, I also had this issue with the first ps4 I bought. Then to eject a disk you have to use your controller through the menu.
Should have bought a Wii U like any sane gamer! Good luck legally playing all of Nintendo's greats, suckers! Power is always trumped by FEATURES! Suck it, Sony!

Thanks man. Very useful, and no nonsense.
After watching so many videos and experience that you have, I am writing to you With all due respect and love from India🙏.
My PS4 just broke down 2 days back..it all started with a freeze in the screen while playing battlefield 4 campaign mode. Then wen I switched on the PS4, it said " checking system storage" and then it switched off again. After that they asked to reinstall the 7.55 update in USB and reboot.i also did that...since then I have been keeping on doing the same.
Sometimes after initialization, system does turn on and wen I try loading games from cd or downloading apps, I have noticed that it takes alot of time to load a game from the CD which is very unusual.
In a while it lags, system freezes or turns black automatically.
Finally system asks for the 7.55 update in a USB again.
With all hope I am writing to you and praying you to provide a solution for my above issue..Thanks bhaiya( Back in India it means elder brother)🙏
Thanks good i don't get cockroaches were i live I just got PS4 used first version yesterday my mine seems be working fine most times sometimes I get a err with net
Thanks you just helped me realize my ps4 is toast and has to be sent in . Blue light of death. 😫
thanks for the advice amzing work keep it up👌
I guess that shows ps4's should be taken care of carefully,my mom would be thinking the ps4 is overheating because it feels hot,and I just sold a ps4 that didnt display on screen,very informative video👍
Old video but still gonna comment.
The powerstrip issue could be due to a voltage drop.
The longer the power line to the device is, the less voltage remains due to the resistance in the extended line.
Now if it is a really cheap powerstrip, it could have really thin lines, which have a higher resistance.
Or if you are far from the house / power net connection you also might have a voltage drop which adds to the power strip voltage drop.
One could try to run the console on a regulated power supply and drop the voltage a bit.
The US usually has 110V right? Maybe check how much you can lower it till you get that error.
"there's bugs in the system" lol, and I thought bugs in software were bad.
So that means we have both buggy games due to unfinished games being released and bugs in the ps4 itself cause they make a great bug hotel >
@Irfan Spirtovic they get up to all sorts of antics they do :D
@@amyhoard1222 they do not make a great bug hotel they make an expensive nightmare after cocky's take out the power supply and the power supply's pcb is rarely fit for repair when they are done
Actually that's where that term originated. Computers used to be mechanical. A bug in your program would literally be a bug in your program. When computers became electrical and more complex the term stuck with it.
🤣😂
Love your vids by the way
thank for Your Videos Man, Thank your time.
I have this „unknown disk“ error, i just have to tap three times on the top while PS4 starts reading disc.
Could be crap stopping the laser move to read the disc, tapping it probably helps the laser dislodge itself so it can move to read the disc. so try cleaning inside the drive mate.
As most support specialists know, doing a complete format and repartition of a drive will most likely fix any kind of curroption on a disk drive. But the problem is how do you recover the lost data during this procedure when the PS4 drive is not recognizable to windows. How do you salvage the drive from a GPT protected partition that does not allow you to use any disk checking tools or any sort of diagnostics. That is the big 1 million dollar question that needs to be answered and I been searching and searching for hrs trying to find a damn resolution to this problem. Recovering the data > Reformated the hardrive > reinstalling the drive with the new firmware update > and finally, restoring all your data to the new formatted drive. Anyone have any solutations at all with how to perform these tasks.
Agreed, but it's probably going to take some serious reverse engineering workarounds to figure that out.
If people could do it easily, Sony would lose out on all the money they make because people tragically lost a year worth of save data, leading them to buy PS+ for the save data cloud backups for the future. Make it easy enough for the average person to just pop it into their computer and recover the data, they lose out on all but the laziest of offline gamers' money.
I had the first problem and luckily it wasn't anything too complicated, i just had to switch my ps4 HDMI cable with my Xbox 360 HDMI cable, both still work
I've watched your ps4 videos, absolute terrific stuff. I've got a strange problem that I was hoping you could advise me on regarding disc drives. It seems that an individual game can't be read by my ps4 slim. I've tried several different copies of the same game (returned and replaced by the store)
The PS4 recognises the disc and it allowed me to do the initial install. When I put the disc in it starts to run but always cuts out saying the disc is damaged, but theyve all been brand new clean discs. Sometimes the game loads up and let's me get to the in-game menu, but always cuts out before I load the actual game in. This has happened on 2 of the 3 copies over tried.
I reckon after watching your videos it's probably a dusty laser in the disc drive and it's just barely clinging on. No problem playing any other games or DVDs, I guess its probably just in need of a good clean. Any thoughts?
TronicsFix my Ps4 Pro runs extremely loud, especially after a few hours of gameplay and sometimes even after just a few minutes after starting a bigger or more complicated game like Skyrim or No Mans Sky. It will even kick me from the game with an error code and then the entire system gets really laggy even just when scrolling through games in my library or navigating through the settings menus. I do not own any digital games and my 850-something gb hardive is near full of digital games. Could this performance issue be caused by storage overload or something? I mean to say, does the storage capacity effect the systems performance?
I did notice a slowdown especially in the menus when my system storage was very full. It's like a computer, it will take longer to index all the stuff you have. After I cleaned up (I didn't even have enough to create a save lol), the system became more stable and fluid.
I have over 10,000 hours on my ps4 I got it within a month of release, never had a single issue.
Most Ps4's don't have any issues.
I've heard that if you have the ps4 running in stand mode, the solder will slip. unless you have a stand with a base fan cooling the system.
Bryan Smith I've had my ps4 like that for 3 weeks now and no problem.
i got mine a week after release and i forget to turn it off all the time, leaving it on for days sometimes even, and i have yet to have any problems with my PS4 at all. i probably got well past 10,000 hours myself. lol
I have a ps4 slim. I hope its more reliable than ps3 fat
Thank you for this video.
Good morning
TronicsFix. Thank you very much for uploading this educational videos. That is very appreciated.
I have a ps4 that will not recognize my controller in either of the front usb ports. I used a USB tester, and and I an getting 5V, but th wired controller that I use does not go into charging mode like it usually does on a normal ps4. I tried swapping the BT module but that did not fix the issue instead the ps4 would not turn on. Maybe I applied to much heat to the donor chip and I end up runing it.
Could it be that maybe the USB CHIP that control the USB ports went bad and it needs to be replace? If that is the case what is the name of that chip?
Thank you!
Hi,
I have a problem with my PS4. I searched my issue but never found anything similar.
I bought my PS4 2 months after it launched.
It was running smoothly until very recently. It started it kick me out of my games, not any game, games with high computing powers (that's what I noticed) such as MGSV, Mass Effect, The last of us, and Bllodborne.
some other games, I play them for hours and it never kicked me out once.
I cleaned it many times, and opened it and cleaned the heat sink without any improvements.
any advice on this?
Up voted just for the shirt... I want one.
Hi Steve. Thank you for your great videos. I'm a subscriber. Please help with this question...
I noticed that GameStop has a computer and maybe some software that they hook up the game consoles to I guess maybe to run a quick check to make sure all the things are working correctly ?
What's the best way or the best ways and fastest ways to hook up consoles and make sure that they're working properly and don't have any underlying issues so that we can sell them confidently without having people wanting to return them ?
Are we able to get that same software that GameStop has and connect the consoles and it just does a quick run-through and let us know right away or are we forced to bring them home and play them for hours and hours for a week straight to verify everything is ok before we could even resell it ?
I had sold a PS4 a while back and I had used it for about a month straight but I only play it about 45 minutes to no more than one hour straight each time. After I sold it the guy wanted to return it because he told me after playing it for an hour straight that it shuts off but that it still works but it shuts off after 1 hour.
I didn't know it had that problem otherwise I would have mentioned it in the listing.
Thank you. Anybody knowledgeable please reply soon.
You do a very good job keep it up and I hope you get very very good

I never had a problem with my second hand ps3. Had it for 4 years and it was allready old then .
Had my ps4 for a year and allready it has hdmi port problems and controller problems.
I have just refurbished my first PS4 slim this evening. Bought it super cheap off eBay and fixed it for my own use and I never transferred the circuit board off the blueray drive to the new drive and its working fine. No errors or issues. Replaced the HDD with an SSD, replaced the blueray drive and the fan and put new thermal paste on the cpu. The amount of dust inside it was unreal, it wasn't dust bunnies so much as dust walls. And it stank of cigarette smoke. Had a thorough cleansing with isopropyl alcohol .
Great information. Thank you 👍
Quick question..............
My PS4 seems to be asking for a disc. This is NOT for games I have also downloaded ( I've heard that can cause a problem ). It's really worrying. Any thoughts, has this been a known fault?
Cheers guys.
When I turn my ps4 on everything goes fine for just like 8-10 minutes and suddenly some glitched dots come on the screen (on any monitor) and it suddenly turns off.
I went to a repairing shop and i got to know that the ps4 processor needs to be fixed others said that the motherboard has a problem.
Now I dont know whats true and dont know wat to do
Buy a new ps4
Heeduz mine turns on put first it says checking storage status then it loads up the ps4 dashboard and then it has the white light and ive done factory reset my ps4 and it didnt help so im trying to download my game and it wont download and then when i try to delete it it goes black screen then turns back on like its just turning back on
Thats overheating my guy clean the APU heatsink reapply thermal paste

TronicsFix , I have had my ps4 system since release. All of the sudden neither of my USB ports are working AND my storage is disappearing. (Max storage dropped to 360gb after deleting some data) I tested the USB with a brand new controller and got nothing. I tried resetting to default and now I'm stuck because it wants the controller plugged in and the PS button pushed to move forward. Is this a motherboard fix? Or is there a way to bypass this? I have a keyboard that for some reason did work before I reset to default.
Great content thanks
Even today saving lives..the prongs on the hdmi port were folded up to the back many thx🙏🙏
I laughed when he said "Your console is full of bugs"
He has videos with ps4 full of bugs :))
With the "Tip" of the P#2 , plug it to the wall, You saved my Day!(ass)
Excellent video! Thanks!!🤘🍻🎮👏😊
Ps: you won a "Sub"👍
Welcome to the channel! Glad this helped you.
My issue was solved by replacing my Hardrive. But I also upgraded it to a Solid State HD. No problems so far and much faster loading times. The issue i had was that screen freeze game lock up with error code 36329-3. Resident Evil 2 was the only game I had problems with but after attempting countless frustrating software solutions i finally decided to replace the harddrive which doing so fixed all my problems.
Thank you so much🖤💜
I've had my PS4 for over 6 years I clean it once a month. Never had any problems.
Only thing I hate with this old model its very loud whatever game I choose to play.
Where are you from?
My ps4 act up every time I try to turn it on thank you
you help me so much I had the last problem I just took the ps4 apart in clean it.
Bro Very good info
can you do one of these videos for the psvr
Maybe...thanks for the idea.
11:10 I misheard it as "there are some real kamikazes of overheating"...
shoulda been top 4 issues XD good video one repair tech to another,
Great video thank you will try that.
What about your controller randomly cutting out and requiring a restart to get it to connect again?
Usual scenario: I pause and have to go do something. Controller cuts out, I come back and press ps4 button but controller doesn't cut back on. The only way I can get it to reconnect is by powering off the console all the way. Controller reset doesn't work, connecting with usb wire doesn't work and using two other working controllers (one just purchased two weeks ago) doesn't work. The only info I can find online is it may be the Bluetooth antenna. Could you help a brotha out?
charge it and keep it plug in
Same problem, thought i was the only one. Tried with multiple controllers but doesen’t work
can you please do a video about the bluetooth chip I think mine died because my controllers will not connect anymore.
Maybe
Steve is the best person to go to when it comes to electrical devices i'd trust him 100% if i left any of mine with him for a repair or maybe a good clean and i'd pay him whatever he wants for the job.
Great info!!
lol I cant believe becoming infested with actual bugs is a legit problem xD Hats off to whom ever edited the video footage tho
Question, I took apart my ps4 control to replace the x-axis switch on one of the thumb sticks, now instead of flashing blue when it (the controller) turns on it flashes red and half the time the light doesn't stay on even tho the controller is in fact on... what did I do -.- and is it fixable
I got the 1st gen destiny white ps4 and only problem i had was it spitting the game out while playing it in result you have to remove the bottom rubber bumper
Or you start digitally downloading games so there are no discs to spit out in the 1st place...
Great video! TYSM!
Great video .
Have you ever experianced the battery on the motherboard going dead ? I think I have this problem as I get code - CE 35239-2 and somtimes NP-31739-3. Whilst trying to backup online, I got CE-30392-7.
All happend after downloading a large update for GT Sport. It is an early thick PS4 CUH-1106A.
With your very useful video , I'll change the battery ( I think its a CR 2032 ? ) and report back .
