Red light - Xbox 360, Yellow light - PS3, Blue light - PS4. Sony and Microsoft should have removable sockets for these APUs for easy repair.

If they did that then there would be no reason to repair them. A typical PGA, or LGA won't suffer from this type of damage. The biggest issue is they are cheaping out on the cooling and allowing the chip to get too hot, or they are using very cheap lead free solder for the balls that cause corrosion. No matter which way you slice it, it's sony and microsofts fault. You'd think that by now they would have learned their lesson. I was able to fix a PS3 with a heat gun a long time ago but it seems that doesn't work with the new consoles.

The way they make that money isn't to have you buy another system they get their money back from your PS subscription, and Sony made exclusives.

@@MarantzSt153 And it is still waaay less common to see an Xbox One with an issue. You'll have a failing harddrive every now and then (which you'll also have on PS4s), but that is about it. PS4s fail quite often and most are actually easy fixes. Blown fuse in the PSU (one of the main issues if the PS4 doesn't turn on at all or blinks blue and shuts itself off almost immediately), one, two or up to four blown fuses on the mainboard (or driveboard with the phats) leading to the drive not working at all and the update not going through, dead lasers, overheating due to crappy thermal paste... Most of these are fixes you can easily do yourself, the parts cost between one and 10 USD (ok, the dead laser is more expensive, costs 20 to 30 USD depending on your model). I kind of like the PS4 for that, you can get a broken one off ebay for 50 Euros easily, fix it up and sell it for 150 with an honest description.

These companies just aren't building things strong as they used to.

My PS4 can enter safe mode but when I initialize the PS4 it works until after the ps logo shows up is this still the blue light of death?

Hello, I have a question about my PS4 not turning on. It all started when it would turn off by itself while gaming, then it became worse to the point where when you press the power button, it sounds, and shows the blue light for a split second after it turns off.I heard that it could be a power supply problem. Especially because after trying to turn it on, if i would try to do it again, it would be straight dead until I unplugged and plugged the cable. Could it be power supply?

How come nobody discusses the "no light of death"?

I have a question about my situation! My ps4 does the BLOD everytime I turn it on, but only the first time. Once I restart it manually (because if I let it ON without restarting, also after a minute, nothing goes on and the screen on TV continues to stay blue with the "without signal" message), after a quick message of test that says "ps4 wasn't turned off correctly", it goes well and the system turns ON and I can log in, play games etc... What could it be? The other issue that I see is that when I play games after 5/10 minutes, according to the intensity of the game, PS4 crashes in a dark screen with white stripes and a strange whistle, after that the BLOD again. My system heats up really fast and a lot. Could it be the thermal paste or the power supply? Can I try the fix you show in the video? Is the FAT version and it's been used for long. Not by me unfortunately! Thanks!

I have question my console does that when you turn it on it stays with BLOD but turns itself off. However if you pull the HDD out the game console starts properly could it be the same fix or perhaps there is problem with SATA connector which causes the short circuit on console when HDD is seated in ?

Thanks for the video. Finally someone actually said it might be your apu or ram chips. All these articles saying it's your psu or hard drive, same old dumb articles regurgitating the same bs.

I got my PS4 used and when I first got it it would do the BLOD. It only did it a couple times when I first got it and it hasn't done it again in months. Also more recently my PS4 froze instantly cutting video and audio fto my TV. Pressing and holding the power button did nothing (I may not have held it long enough) so I had to unplug it. And finally a couple days ago I put it into rest mode and a couple hours later I was gonna turn it on and noticed the white light was blinking and I assume it had been blinking for hours. I held my finger on the power button for like 30 seconds and forced it off. None of these issues are persistent. Any idea what its deal is?

My ps4 is weird when I turn off my internet then get offline I get the blinking blue but doesn’t turn off it only happens because of that that’s weird

When i press the power button the blue light appears and last a second and it turns off.. And when I press the disc button it makes a sound too what could be?

I've recently gotten the blue light, but sometimes my system works and sometimes it doesn't. I was able to boot it in safe mode, rebuild the database, and play games with no issues. Other times it boots normally, but when I press the PS button on the controller to get out of a game the whole system freezes and shuts off. I think it could be a hard drive issue but it's kinda irregular so I'm not sure.

how long will it take them to finally use the pc approach, balling them on simply not reliable at all. look at the failure rate of both x360 and ps3, cant believe they still continue with the same way to this gen. I guess they save some money

Lol happened to mine as well. Came across this video and was dripping with sweat as I had only had this for just about 2 months. Also got the same question as you.

I seen a vid that you posted a couple years back. You did the nylon washer thing and said if you still get the blue light that turns off and doesn’t turn on again it’s a power supply

simply changing the power source worked for me.

what does that mean? change the ps4 wire plugs?

Happen to me yesterday tried everything and only thing that worked was putting in a new harddrive so if you try option 7 on safe mode and it gets stuck on 99% swap hard drives and do the USB firmware update

TronicsFix LLC thanks I'll check it out just repaired the overheating problem yesterday

When you get the blue ring of death can you still go into safe mode and things like that cause once I turn my console on it takes me straight to safe but once I restart it starts up shows the PlayStation logo and then the screen goes black is that also the blue light of death ???

Hey Steve lets team up and figure out a way to fix the BLOD on PS4 slim, Pro and 12XX consoles with the washer method.

Perhaps there needs to be a backplate enforcement that goes along with the washers to make it work like it does on 1000 and 1100 units.

Did you guys try adding a shim under the clamp? Would probably add a little more pressure. Would try without the nylon washers first, and then would try with. See if anything helps. Don't have a ps4 with the BLOD here, but may pick one up if I can find one cheap enough. Not really worth my time to mess with the clamp/shims though. Would just reball the thing.

I bought a second hand ps4 from someone and im so pissed that the blue light happened to me.

Hi, I have a Ps4 with a broken processor in the head, can I buy the same model? Is it then obviously to Reballing this board where the processor is broken? Would work? Thank you!

So how effective reballing is its down to who does it and how good they are

My ps4 stays flashing until I unplug it. It went into safe mode and after I had updated it started doing that. But every time I start it, it says something about the storage and then goes to a black screen

We need to understand why these solderballs crack in the first place? obviously Sony still uses crappy thermal paste which dries fast, meaning overheating issues and causing cracks in the solder balls due to temprature differences between board & chip. I opened mine Ps4+Pro and put quality thermal paste within the warranty of the console and never have had hoverheating issiues

@Tronicsfix

It's generally not a matter of the solder balls cracking. As I say in the video...many times it's caused by corroded solder pads. No way to know what's causing that but I doubt it's heat related.

@danielpindell1267

Playstation V Could be just cheap solder. Sony used lead free solder with the PS3 and that was the biggest problem for overheating.

@SpiGAndromeda

Even a small amount of bad and old thermal paste is conducting the heat pretty well. Oxidation of solder materials is a common problem. The oxidation rate depends on the solder composition, room temperature but more important moisture and corrosive substances in the air. Adittionally there is a quality range within the soldering process at the manufacturing facility. That's why two people can buy two PS4 with the same production date at the same time and one brokes, the other not. Unfortunatly solder materials with low corrosion rates uses rare and super rare earth metals. Another method would be to apply an anticorrosive coating. The point is ... there is barely a benifit for sony in doing so: they just have to calculate that everything works for 2 years. After that: they don't care and you propably have to buy a new one.

This is just going to be reality for electronics as parts shrink and speeds go up. Through hole parts with tons of solder and signals in the low MHz don't show issues like 0.25mm balls of solder forming connections that run at GHz. The RoHS lead-free regulations didn't help that any.

PS3 HAD D SIMMILAR PROBLEM ON THE FHAT VERSIONS IT WAS BETTER THEN THE SLIM AND THE SUPER SLIM I SEE THATS NOT THE CASE ON THE PS4

I have the old one and put the watchers and nothing, what else I can do?

Hi.. I'm from Mumbai and I'm facing the same issue.. A guy from my city with great onine reviews for repairing a PS has suggested getting a new motherboard.. Is that something which should be done in this case or should I just skip it? Need your valuable opinion. Thanks

i can hear the fan... full mode ...

I think these problems started when manufacturers stopped using lead solder(for health reasons) and switched to non lead solder which is prone to becoming dry and cracked when cold

I literally just got my PS4 repaired not too along ago and it shut off randomly again. Do I get a new PS4, get an electrician to check the outlet or maybe use a surge protector?

My ps4 was in a power surge during a storm. No blinking lights just a solid blue light. Wont boot into safe mode,but when power button is held down it powers off. Whats it spund like to you ?

My ps4 slim was working like a charm and then one day it just wouldn't respond the way it should, and the ps4 would crash and won't turn off properly and it won't render game's like it used to, any advice and actions i should do???? Please help

What about the black ops 3 edition ps4? Will the washer method work on it? Since it’s a 1215 model

Hi, My ps 4 fat have BLOD. The light flashes blue. The problem is that even after replacing the internal hard drive, you can't hear the start, and both USB ports don't work - if I connect a USB drive, the light doesn't blink. Is there a problem with the power supply or a problem with the Motherboard? Thank you for your response

I can't enter Safe Mode. I turn it on and it turns off in less than two seconds. PS4 Pro.

Isn't replacing the motherboard and the disk drive won't fix it?

I haven’t taken the PS4 apart or anything but the buttons and the disc drive are not working. Do you know what the problem could be caused by?
