thank you very much, the movie has saved my client's console, greetings from the Polish console service

You Sr, are a True gentlemen, Thanks for share, we need More persons Like You.

I have to say Andrew, that this tutorial is the bomb (that means it's good.) Helped me out a lot, as well as the other fuse replacement for the previous generation on the Blu Ray drive board. Thanks again good sir!! Both repairs were successful

When I thought I couldn't see anything else on the internet that was useful, you come with this video and do a very smart and clean repair. I congratulate you. Gracias

You just saved me HOURS of work! Brilliant video, wealth of knowledge. Thank you!

Thank you so much Andrew, I really enjoy the way you think and track the problems. thanks to you I saved my PS4 with a fuse I had on an old motherboard :)

Geez mate. I had exactly the same problem. For 1 week I was trying to figure out what was it and then I found your video. Thank you very much.

I definitively learn so much from you. Keep going with your wonderfull videos because it helps so much. You are really very good. I'm a certified technician but the difficulty i have that you don't have is DEDUCTION WHEN YOU TROUBLESHOOT. That's my big problem, deduction. I'm not good at deduction and it is so important. I did listen to all of the possibilities you did think before to make a move, to repair. That's the key, DEDUCTION AND DEEP THINKING. Thank's again. It will help me a lot.

Andrew - Great video as always! I've now ran into one of these with the same issue, but this time, the new fuse blows as well. Figured I would hopefully through some info back to you that could help you on the chance that you run into that someday. The F6202 fuse goes to the laser ribbon and in my case, there ended up being a good deal of corrosion on the actual plug at the laser end. I shot 3 fuses before I figured it out. That's most likely why this fuse blows to begin with in most cases. Thanks for all the good info. Hope that helps you someday!

Andrew you have helped me again 🤩 This method worked great for a customer of mine. Thanks

Oh men !!!! Thank you !! It's just a little fuse.... .... Thanks for this Diagnosis !!! I test tomorrow this way! Thank you Andrew !

Hello Andrew - your videos are brilliant, and have taught me so much about diagnosing electronic faults! I'm fixing a PS4 Slim for my son's friend. The Blu Ray Disc drive isn't pulling the disc in and F6202 on the main motherboard is blown - the owner said it stopped working after a disc got stuck in the drive after it had been knocked about while being transported in a backpack! I don't have a donor board but do you happen to know the rating, voltage and type of fuse (quick blow, time delay etc) that should be used to replace it? Keep up the good work! So good to see people like you helping us all reduce the amount of repairable electronics going to landfill!

Awesome work! Glad the video could help :)

I have a serious problem with PS4 SAC-001 so the client says the son was playing for a few hours. The mother suddenly starts the PS4 by unplugging the power cord from the outlet and pulled it to the floor. Since then, when the plug is connected and the power button is started, a message appears on the screen that it does not detect an HDMI cable and remains blue. In my opinion, the processor must have suffered breaks in the spheres where it is soldered to the plate. With the multimeter in continuity some and many capacitors around the processor beep on both sides.

First off wanna say Im a big fan of your work! You are the best youtuber when it comes to gaming repairs. I do need your help though. I have watched your video ( PlayStation 4 CUH-12xx BD-ROM No Disc Feed - Fault Diagnosis and Board Repair (SAC-001) ) I have a system here with the exact same issue! I followed your video and have tested the same fuses which you repaired and the fuses in your video all test good on the system I am having issues with. any other idea on what to test around in that area of the board which could be causing my issue ?

Checked all the fuses for continuity & they're all fine. Replaced the two 6 pin icu chips & it's STILL not working! 😞

Hi Im trying to fix my ps4 which may have the same issue. How do I order the fuse? Thank you

Merci bcp sa va vraiment aidé

Hi again Andrew, I have a PS4 here that I bought faulty, it wasn't reading discs. It is model CUH-1216A, it had been apart before. The optical drive had the number KEM-490AAA. So I replaced it and still have the same issue, which got me wondering, is that the correct optical drive KEM number or does a different one belong in there?

Thanks youre the beast

You do a great job on these things and help me out a bunch, lol. My question is: Where can you get new fuses, diods and such so you do not have to use a donor board?

It normally does on its own with this station mate - trouble is at the minute I'm blowing across the component as I haven't enough room under the scope to get directly over it hence wanting the crooked tip. Found one I think - just a case of getting it ordered.

My friend Paul, there is another way to replace that LB fuse, if I don't have a donor board, which one could be replaced by, remove it from another console, it can only be bridged. That dude I do if I don't have a donor plate to replace the LB

The fuse has a small black vertical line in the middle of it and through searching it looks like a 1A fuse but I do not know the voltage? Would you happen to know where to find a replacement fuse? and or could we bridge the contact to test the disc feeding temporarily? Thanks in advance! David

Hi Andrew, I have a ps4 CUH-1216 model, which has problems reading original bluray game discs (customer told it began end of september 2017). Disc feed is working. The laser has been replaced several times by a new one, but that did not solve the problem. Also the complete drive has been replaced by a working drive from another ps4 of the same type, but the problem persisted. What actually happens, is that the laser attempts to read the disc, but fails. You simply hear the disc spinning, with different sounds, as if the disc is too dirty, while it is totally clean. With original DVD movies, it shows exactly the same behaviour. Do you know what could have caused this issue ? Could it be OFW related ? According to the date, the ps4 would be on maximally 4.74. I know that on ps3's from 4.78 or higher, that the firmware update will change the power management and as a result of that, discs could not be read anymore, while being on OFW below 4.78 , the same disc could perfectly be read.

If it's a 1200 you won't have a daughterboard - it's all on the motherboard. Does the drive work in a test chassis / another machine? In instances where the fuses are good it's a good idea to check as it prevents you from chasing a board issue which might not be present - the feed motors have a habit of going out which will appear to give the same symptoms.
