Amazing knowledge and troubleshooting methodology!!! I think most of us would have gone straight away to replacing southbridge even of there were no shorts around... I learned something very useful today. You have my thanks!!!!
Awesome. I didn't know those were called Bypass caps and that they weren't as needed as I thought. When you showed that missing resistor I thought: "This board is probably unfixable that's why the last person took it off and probably was using this PS4 for parts only" Since that's really common specially in consoles that come from repair shops which I don't think is the case of this one. Luckily it was just knocked off by some fighter roach 😂. Keep it up my friend 👍
@@ToltecMerc thank you for your kind words,i hope to be making videos again soon just going through a few medical issues at the moment.. enjoy your work
I have enjoyed working with electronics for a long time but about 3 years ago I was looking for a way to have fun with electronic repair and maybe make some money. My son had Playstations growing up so I decided to start there. I bought a broken PS4, fixed it and sold it for a profit. After that, I was hooked! Thanks for watching!
@@ToltecMerc thank you so much for the quick reply, I’ve just started in PS4 repairs, will be attempting my first HDMI port replacement tomorrow, just seen you have lots of videos on PS5, Switch and more, take care and keep up the excellent work
Hi Toltec really enjoy watching your videos. I have this strange ps4 1215A in which none of the apu rails and ram get the output voltage. There is 12V and 4.8V that goes to the fets but nothing outputs and there are no shorts on the any of the rails . I replaced the IOR but still nothing changed when I turn it on the apu cold to touch and the console shuts off after 5 secs any idea why the fets and not turning on??? I cant seem to figure it out.
Hello, I have a PS4 (Fat) CUH1003A and I bought a power Supply ADP-240-AR 1006 but didn’t work just beeb not boot so if I bring new ADP-240-AR 1001 will work? Thank you
Hi friend, thank you very much for the super explanatory video! It helped me verify if my PS4 turns on and indeed works when tested with the power source (set at 4.8V and 0.350A). It stays at around 0.020A, and when I press the power button, the PS4 turns on. However, I notice that when I connect its original power source, it doesn't turn on. I'm testing to see if the power source outputs 12V and if I'm getting that. What do you recommend I check?
Hello man, very good video, thank you very much for sharing your knowledge, you have a very nice laboratory, I wanted to ask you for a little help, I need the value of the resistor that is right next to the one you changed, I have the same problem as you , but my lost resistor is the one next to the one you changed, and I don't have a donor motherboard to know the value of the resistor, I would really appreciate it if you can help me, and it already has a new subscriber.
