I’ve been looking all over for the fuse amperage so thank you so much for adding that to your video! I appreciate all that you do and share!

One of the best channels I've discovered recently. Keep up the good work!

The videos look a lot sharper and cleaner! Great job!

Thank you sooooo much this just saved my PS4 slim. You have no idea how happy I am right now.

Another great video. Excellent fix, well done Phil.

Good video and information Phil. Thanks for putting this out there for everyone, and those that didn't catch older videos. Good mix of repairs and content creator appearing on camera as well. Stream Deck for the win.

Thanks mate much appreciated 😄

Got another fixed with your help sir. Thank you!

It think I have the same problem with my ps4 slim. One day I disassembly my ps4, but sadly I broke some touch pin in disc drive motor. So I bought new one and put it back together. It worked but disc didn't spin. So I check that mechanism that covers the disc drive and than disc drive stop taking discs. One day I will repair it. This video is solving one of the reasons why disc drive won't take discs. Anyway, amazing video Phil!

Thank you for the tutorial. I repaired my PS4 the same way like you

Thank you Very much for the exact ref of the fuse !

Hi mate, received the solder and flux you recommend and they are both great. Thank you. Love the vids👍👍👍

Another great video mate 👊🏻👍🏻keep up the great work and help you provide mate

well done man thank u i enjoy seeing this videos

Great video Phil.

Nice fix. Really enjoyed watching 👍⭐

The setups looking great... 👍🏽

Just performed this exact same repair last week! My theory is that this is usually caused by a failing/damaged BD-ROM drive coupled with a localized event like a power spike or dirty power, for example. By failing/damaged I mean, a BD-ROM drive that is still functional but no longer operating in spec or at full efficiency. This could be an issue somewhere in the laser deck, gunked up gears in the feed/eject assembly, or a number of other things. These issues create additional load that has an adverse effect on the brushless motors, causing them to work harder and longer than normal vs if the drive were still functioning within spec. The additional load causes a brushless motor to draw more current, which generates more waste heat. Waste heat builds up in the windings, and begins demagnetizing the rotor magnet. When that occurs, the motor will begin trying to hit a higher RPM target, which requires more current. Over time, you get these conditions for a “perfect storm” as it were, which is where the localized event comes into play. This is why you can replace the fuse and the same drive will operate just fine in testing and normal use without immediately blowing the fuse again. So, if you end up needing to replace the F6202 fuse, when you’re done, give that BD-ROM drive a little attention and TLC.

Yeah that would make sense, I always theorised that the extra load put onto the circuit by a bad drive could blow the fuse. Typically I'll clean the drive and if it comes back under warranty I explain that the drive has to be replaced, then just bill them for a drive rather than the fuse. Generally I don't get them come back though :)

Keep up the great content man 👍🏼

I was having trouble updating ps4 ,it was displaying error SU-30746-0 and SU-42118-6 so I took the hard drive out and i formatted in pc than I stuck in updating process, so with your video i was able to fix my drive and continue updating process. Very very thank you for your videos keep going bro

Always fun to watch the repairs - that test disc was filthy by the way lol

Thanks for that fuse rating m8. I appreciate it.

Good fix. I am subbed.

Missed you wish your health is good 😉

In my experience with various PS4’s the eject motor is also fairly often detective, maybe causing the fuse to burn also.

Great video, recently found your channel and subscribed, Dave from Wolverhampton.

Fantastic 👍🏽

Stumbled onto this vid.Great video my skill set is not on ur level, but I took apart my ps4 bc i had the blinking bluelight of death. Replaced the power supply was able to get it to boot long enough to recover my games and save states. But pretty sure I need a new drive as well bc my ps4 kept crashing if I tried to connect to the Playstation network and if I did anything other than transfer data to a external drive.

Good Vedio phill , keep it up

Man big fan Slds form Cuba

Love the videos, just one thing that maybe can be changed... when you sometimes pop up text on the screen, can you leave it for a bit longer? at the moment it's blink and you miss it.

I believe this happens when you force a disc in rather than waiting for the mechanisms to do it's job.

It would be interesting to see you try to fix the TV! Although, if it's just cracked I guess you can't really fix it lol. Good job on the PS4 bro.

17:10 I see what you did there 😂😂

are all these fuses same ratings? Thanks for the great video!

Job well done mate 😁 I'm having trouble with a pro at the minute, keeps running slow then crashing and won't boot up unless I reinstall OS again. I've tried putting a hard drive in it from another working pro but it asked for latest update even though it's already been updated 😑 I've also tried removing and replacing the CMOS battery which hasn't worked either. I'm at a loss, makes no sense that it wouldn't boot from a good hard drive. Please any suggestions you could give me to test would be great, love your videos pal

cool video

Hi mate do you do repairs for anyone apart from CRL? I’ve got 2 PS4 consoles here on low firmware but they need HDMI repair. Let me know thanks

Same issue with mine. How muxh too fix fuse. My f6202 has blown. Bridged too test it and works. Brought 2nd hand so didnt know if any think else was wrong. Emailed you waiting on reply.

After watching this vid, I’m still trouble shooting. My fuses are good but still no power to drive. Took apart drive and tested motor. Seems to be okay and working. See what else I can find. Any vid for further assistance?

Good video! I've got a other problem than the fuse... The diskdrive makes a ticking noise and won't accept disks. I tried a new diskdrive but exact the same problem. Do u have a idea? It is a ps4 pro model 7016B with a NVA-001 1-981-472-21 motherboard. I really hope u can help me out. I can't use the ps4 anymore, because I can't do the software update..

The desk drive will burn out the fuse when it’s attempting to read a scratched disc. The motor‘s experienced heightened activities which overloads the fuse. Even fingerprint cause this to happen. It overheats under load and dies.

If I sent you my ps4 slim could you repair the disc drive as the drive is creaking and its either the fuse or needs replacing completely

My ps4 slim (same board) was having disk issues, they would go in, it would make a few shuffle sounds and not work. Occasionally the disk could be put in and work no problems. Then one day I went to turn it on, it beeped once and shut off. It will no longer start up. I even replaced the PSU, still nothing. Is it possible that a ps4 slim wont turn on at all if the disk drive has failed?

love ya

Do you diagnose and fix video cards?

Do you have to replace the solder?

Are you taking ps4 with blue ray disk drive issues to fix? If so how much and where do I send it to?

What is that white wire he removed that he didn’t want to go with explaining what that part is he snakes from under the tape?

Where did you get the f6202 fuse??

Where i find the fuse f6201? I dont know what is the volts

Great job! I have this same issue can you help me? How I can contact you?

Good job just one thing that your microscope camera is bit blurry its not clear

You have helped me and saved my day. Mil gracias. Saludos desde México ❤️

Will this fuse cause the ps4 not to restart after update and instead of restart just shut down?

Hi nice job on the ps4.plz can you fix something different,like cellphones,pc motherboards and xbox 360 controllers,there is almost no clips to fix a dead xbox 360 controllers.keep up the good work i watch your channel everyday.I'am from south africa.I also do electronics as a hobby'

I having the same problem with my PS4 it’s not the slim it’s the original one it’s doing the same thing with the DVD drive not taking the discs in aswell

Hi, can anyone help please, I changed the fuse (the old one had no continuity) but the disc drive still doesn't work? Thanks

I have the same issue in ps4 (normal one touch buttons) i change the mechanism (not help) even with different blu ray motherboard (same) you think can be the same problem like in your video? Thanks sub going :)

I just installed the most recent software update 8.52 for my ps4 slim and everything was fine before i did the update after i did the update it showed me an error code SU-42118-6 so i restarted my ps4 and noticed that my gta 5 disc is for some reason not showing up as in my disc drive so i try to eject it and it doesnt work I got my gta 5 disc out manually and did some research and found out for some reason lots of people started to get disc drive failures after the most recent software update and I believe that this software update somehow damaged my fuse because after opening it up i noticed nothing bad about my disc drive and I have no idea how to fix the fuse :(
