PS4 On And Off DIY Fix
Ойындар
TronicsFix shows you how you may be able to fix your PS4 that turns on then right back off with this DIY video.
Order the kit here: www.tronicsparts.com/store/p66...
We take a PS4 that turns on then right back off and repair it. This repair includes removing the hard drive cover on the console and the other top cover to access the APU and heat sink clamp. We then put spacers under the APU to create more pressure on it which helps it get a better connection to the motherboard.
This fix generally works for quite a while but there's no way to know for sure how long it will last. Some consoles have lasted more than 1 and a half years.

Worked like a charm!!! Thank you so much bro...you saved me from buying a new PS4. Mine was acting up so much, not starting up, shutting down in middle of game...I was about to buy a new one, but with the announcement of Google Stadia, I didn't want to invest so much. For the people asking about the washer size, I took out the screw and took it to the hardware shop. Bought 6 washers that fit the size. The shop didn't even charge me for those (that's India for you, I guess) I know it worked because my ps4 would beep and shut down Everytime after a cold boot and would come up only after the second cold boot. But ever since the washer fix, it boots up EVERYTIME. I am so happy, i can write a book about it, almost wrote a chapter here 😋
This is crazy, I’ve had my day one ps4 with this exact issue. It broke 4.5 years ago and for some reason I’ve kept it. I tried this method and now it’s working lol. Thanks man, you rock!🤘🏼

this worked! i watched endless videos with different techniques and have tried so many ways to try to get it to come on but none of them worked until i tried this, thank you!
Bro you are the best!!! Two washers worked and the BLOD on my older PS4 is gone and is now fully operational. Thank you so much!! You saved me sanity and money!!
It worked for me, before I would have to apply pressure to the bottom of the ps4 to get it to work, but this video shows why it needed that pressure, took 2 washers and placed them on both screws and it now works great now, thanks.
GUYS IF THE WASHERS ARENT WORKING FOR YOU LIKE ME HERES A FIX! i ended up taking apart my ps4 to clean it and when I put it together it wasn't working n I searched it up n had this washers method show up or even buying a new battery. i was struggling until I did this : MAKE SURE all the screws are in the correct places, at the bottom of the ps4 there are ~4 screws with an arrow imprinted in the ps4 MAKE SURE to put the screws in the correct places. IF THIS DOES NOT WORK try this : when you remove the battery from your ps4 there should be 2 metal rods sticking up inside the ps4 where the battery was, they are very hard to miss. MAKE SURE that those 2 bars are SEPERATED, there are 2 slots in the battery for the 2 forks, sometimes they end up being too close together and end up going into the same input instead, put your finger in between them to make sure they separate and gently put in the battery. I HOPE THIS WORKS FOR YOU LIKE IT DID FOR ME!!

One washer per screw worked for me thanks broski! I also gave the old original PS4 a good thorough cleaning. Over time I Might need two washers then three washers but I just needed to buy some time since Christmas cleaned Out.
Worked for me like a charm :) My cat pushed a couple of metal candle holders off a shelf above my PS4 the other day and after these nice heavy hits on top of the box it wouldn't start up at all with the BLOD blinking. Took the top off bought a couple of thick washers from a store nearby and voila after putting the washers under and tightening the screws the whole thing works again like new. :) Thumbs up and keep up the good work TronicsFix!

Mine doesn't turn I already tried
I have the newest PS4 pro and had it where the blue light came on then went off and had to plug it in again for it to do the same thing. I had put 2 washers in between the clamp and heatsink and works like a charm, how is that possible? Because mine was practically brand new and I had it sitting on my shelf unplugged for a year and made sure it didn't get dusty at all. So it may not always be a power supply issue?
Man, you give me hope, after you mentioned about the power suply and explained how it behaves, my console does that same thing you said, I will try with the power suply of my cousin's ps4 that doesn't work, thanks.

maybe could be the two prons from the motherboard, I just helped my friend on videocall because he removed the power supply to clean it and once he placed it back he bent one of the two connectors from the motherboard, so look after those two if are bent they don't match the holes of the power supply

Thanks for sharing the knowledge!! This method worked!
Thank you for this vid it resolved the issue regarding not starting up/staying on, however now it runs louder than ever. Anyone else have this issue? Solutions?
This worked for me (for about a month). Now its dead again. Regardless, thanks for the tips.
Ok so I had some washers, used them, and now the power will stay on but the blue light never turns white. It just pulses blue. I've tried many different things to fix this and nothing works. It won't go into safe mode, nothing. Do I need to have it reballed? Any help here would be greatly appreciated. This started because my ps4 got smashed (don't ask) and the hdmi port needed to be replaced, as well as the power supply. I got a used power supply and had he hdmi port replaced and carefully reassembled everything (I had to get a new shell for the console as well). I go to plug it in, power it on and after 1-2 seconds it clicked off. So like I said I used the washers and it worked. But now the "blod". Again thanks in advance for any help
Thanks man you save my life with this hack. Keep it on. 👍
Thanks so much! I had to replace my buddy's HDMI port, but freaked out when I reassembled it and it wouldn't power on anymore. Turns out I just tightened that clamp a little too much!
I just cleaned my ps4 and then when I turned it on if turned off in a few second. Then I fixed the problem by seperating the two silver prongs under the power supply. Mine were bend and touching and they should be straight. Hope this helps someone out who has the same problem

This Actually worked. 2 washers I had in my kitchen drawer this whole time. FIXED IMMEDIATELY
I left the PS4 running with a game playing. A person in our household sees it and proceeds to unplug the power cord from the outlet (without exiting anything or turning off the PS4). Now I tried turning on the PS4 but it doesn't respond, either through the controller or the power button. The power button literally doesn't do anything; and if the PS4 is plugged in, the controller light blinks twice or thrice then stops as if it has turned on the PS4 already. (but when the PS4 is unplugged, it only keeps blinking) When I press the eject button, it only beeped once. I've tried various solutions around the internet such as holding the power button, replugging both power cord and HDMI, trying another outlet and power cord, and tilting it different ways. I was able to manually eject the disc inside, which causes the eject button to beep 3 times now. I've seen people say that it could be a power supply issue, so I went ahead and bought one online since the warranty is void already. After replacing the power supply, nothing changed. Still the same symptoms. Anyone here who can help me fix the PS4 or at least give me an indication as to what the problem could be?

Guys, if you cleaned your PS4 and have a problem getting the PS4 to turn on or it turns on then off, you may have put the power supply back in wrong. Make sure the two long metal pieces are straight and not bent to where it reaches the power brick. Not placing it back in correctly also may make it hard to put the other plastic back on and difficult to put the screws back in the PS4. Went through this myself. Hopes that's the case and you too can save your money.

(Tip: remove the coin battery, and the detachable connectors before putting it in and set it to cool for 10-15 min).

You're welcome! Thanks for watching.
Ty so much i, i got really lonely and sad because my ps4 didnt work but now it works because of you!!! :))
@TronicsFix can they be metal washers? Im trying to get by with what i have. My other option is to make washers out of some tough plastic.
Your vid is the best!!
Reballing is the better way to try and get it running again compared to just heating it up but at the same time lot's of the APUs on PS4s are faulty so it's not just the solder joints that are the problem
Bought a PS4 like this for $40. Did this and fixed it. Fan gets some what loud. Would you recommend I replace thermal paste or just leave it alone?
It worked i cant believe it thank u bro!
You sir are a legend
just tried this a wow, it worked. thanks
Having this same problem with PS4 pro. Any suggestions for that?
Same issue to my PS4 slim. It's been a 7 hours to fix my problem on my PS4 still can't fixed. I already watched all the tutorial on KZread. But when I started deep cleaning and rethermal paste my PS4. It's all good. It's working!!!! I hope it's help to you all 🙏☺️
thanks a bunch!! totally worked. (used some old washers, didn't really matter what size ring. Don't tighten too much)

+Mario Colindres Glad you got it working!
Already try it with the washers and it does not work, do you think it is Power supply? My ps4 does exactly the same thing as in your video .. Help me friend please
The case for my console is that i first encountered this type of issue then went to youtube to find some remedy to this kind of situation and actually did the 2-washer method and it did work actually and everything was fine after that but after i did not use my console for about a week plus straight. The issue went back again. And at first it turned on normally and i did played for about 10-15 minutes and it went off. I turned it back on and the on and off issue went back again. Is this still the same issue?
