I Bought 3 PS4's In Parts from eBay - Why Do I Do This?! The seller says probably the consoles have WLOD (white light of death) but isn't sure. I can often fix WLOD consoles so this seemed like an interesting challenge for me.

Does the reballing works on the apu chips? Have you tried? I think is a good invest for reballing tools based on so many consoles that have apu issues.
@henrysaeng
@henrysaeng Год назад
Diodes are designed to flow in one direction and has a voltage drop of approx 0.7V. In order to test this properly, you must unplug the power cord and drain all the current (possibly holding down the power button). Otherwise, you're measuring the input voltage minus the voltage drop. When the probes are reversed, it should read overload. Meaning there isn't any current flow. If this doesn't occur then the diode is mostly likely bad.

@robertpage2023
@robertpage2023 Год назад
You might add in the "couldn't fix it" remarks is what it would take to actually make the device work. IF the drive on the "blue light of death" device had a faulty drive then is that all that would make it work? And is it a cost effective or practical fix? AND on the #2 unit that loaded the game but didn't play it, you said the APU needed replacing. They look cheap on line ($12 from Sony) but I also read that the originals were having a problem due to being not soldered on correctly by the factory. Wouldn't a removal of it, clean up and reballing be a good next step short of replacement?
@kosmosstormstrike3438

Generally speaking HDDs always spin up when a computer/console is powered up. If it doesn't it's either a bad drive or issues with the power lines. Some drives have fluid bearings to reduce vibration and those can seize up. But the HDD PCB can be bad as well.

@Sacren365
@Sacren365 Год назад
As @IdiotRace said, it’s likely an anti repair tactic by Sony. The things most likely to break on anything are the parts you interact with. The disk drive is interacted with constantly, and sometimes stuffed with things that really shouldn’t be put in there. Marrying the drive to the motherboard means that you can’t just replace the disk drive, you essentially need a brand new console. Apple does the same thing and it’s hated by everyone except the corporates making the extra money.
