Chosen Solution
Hello everyone. I apologize for my English in advance. Here’s the deal: I bought a used PS4 with an HDMI port torn off from PCB and some tracks and pads being destroyed underneath it. When turning on the console I can hear it beeps, it’s starting to blink blue, the fan and hard drive start spinning. Also, here’s some more symptoms that I noticed: -usb’s don’t have power (i’m not sure if it should be there when the console goes on). -metal shield above the APU is hot to touch after a couple of minutes of work -power supply cable is quite warm at the end closest to the unit. So, the questions are:
- How bad is the console condition by given symptoms?
- Is it worth trying to repair that thing? Thank you!
It sounds doable, I would suggest just replacing the whole MB as the soldering is fairly difficult
