PS4 power button fix
Ойындар
Here is a quick fix for the common power button problem people have after taking their PS4 apart. A bunch of googling lead me to believe that a part had snapped off when I removed the cover but thats not the case. You just have to make a metal part on the cover touch a metal piece on the ps4 which activates the power. Alot of fixes require you to buy a new cover but you more then likely just arent putting it back together correctly so double check before you waste some money.

My PlayStation stopped turning on. Watched all the other “fixes” for my PS4 wont turn on and nothing worked. My power button hasn’t worked in 6 years. Used this video to fix my power button, and low and behold I have a working PS4 again! THANK YOU! In 2022!!!

And I need it to NOT work bcs it puts itself into sleep mode almost all the time. Got it open, put a nylon tape between the hinge and the gold connector and closed it. On/Off button doesn‘t work no more. I hope that connector was causing the auto-sleep/turning off issue🤞 @GamerJoe85 thx for showing how the on/off button works. Haven’t found it elsewhere.

I can say that the button now not working, my PS4 never puts itself into sleep mode again. So I would say it´s a success.

Ok
Actually overlooked this thinking the power brick connection was screwed. Turns out this was the issue. Thank you so much for taking the time to tell people about this.
I know this video is 3 years old but thanks for the help dude I thought I broke mine and I just got it fixed thanks to this video! Much appreciated!
quick, simple and right into the point. i fixed in in like 30 seconds literally. huge thanks good sir.
My power button on my PS4 has been broken for a very, VERY long time. Today I watched your video because I was having trouble turning my console back on after initialization and after putting it back together again I saw that little blue light I haven't seen in a long time. I could literally squeeze you! Thank you so much 🙌
Thanks this video fixed all my issues. My power button hadn’t been working for a couple of years and I would always use my controller to power on. My PS4 started having issues and I was unable to fix them without being able to access the safe mode menu. Within seconds of properly securing the metal piece, the power button worked again and I was able to access safe mode and now my PS4 is working great!
OH MY GOD THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I fixed my PS4 and didn't have to send it to PlayStation! Thank you so much!!!
Man you just really helped me out. Power button was broke for months, as I dropped my PS4 by accident. After watching your vid it’s now working perfectly. Thank you for this video 👍👍👍
Your an absolute god send bro, fixed my problem immediately and I’m no technician or anything you just gave an immediate fix thank you !!!! So much dude
DUDE YOU'RE THE BEST!! 6 years without the power button working on my ps4 and now is ALIVE! Just a tip: my ps4 has never been opened, so I just took off the cover a little but and it was enough to solve the problem with the little piece of metal.
Thank you soooo much for this. I was stuck in safe mode and couldn’t use my controller and this video literally saved my PS4. And I was able to use a hair clip instead of a screwdriver 😅
Thank you so much. This is exactly what happened to me, and since today I had a power outage I couldn't turn it back on. I just fixed it. Really man, thank you so much.
You are the man !! I recently bought one from a friend who kept it cleaned out and the power button didn’t work. I watched your video and boom as soon as I took the cover off I saw it. Exactly what you said. Thanks bud.
U gave me hope bro i bought a new controller for my ps4 when i tried to turn my ps4 on it wouldnt turn on anymore after searching a hour i found this and this methode worked.. I thank u my g.. U saved another mans life🙏🏿
Your video saved my PS4 in 2021 :)
Appreciate it dawg three years and still helping people 😭

I’ve Had My PS4 for 4 Years & I haven’t been able to get access to the power button after all these years , I come across this video and BOOM power button in FULL AFFECT 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 THANK YOU SO MUCH MAN I HIGHLY APPRECIATE IT
God bless you, brother, I was looking for the solution and I never thought about this that you have raised. I admire you, you are a great one.
Perfect fix. Literally had my problem solved in 2 minutes.
You just saved me I’m a reseller and I bought a perfectly working one I wanted to clean up the top from so much dust and I couldn’t turn it back on after that but you fixed my problem I was gonna sell it for parts. Thank you!!!
Once I realized that all you needed to do was press a piece of metal against that metal square on the ps4, I was actually able to bend up the plastic cover and press a paper clip against the metal piece of the PS4. My original tab was pretty bent so this allowed me to transfer my ps4 data to my ps5 without taking the cover off. Thanks for the demonstration, great video!
Thanks so much man, I thought I'd buggered it for sure! This is a life saver!
Thanks, bought unit from goodwill and it didn't work but this helped me fix! Good video!
men, after having my PS4 almost in the trash I saw your video and you are a crack .. I love you dude! 2022 and still working
My Controller didnt connect and turn on my Ps4. Putting in a disc didnt turn it on either. Thought about buying a new one right now. But you saved me, after months of not getting it to work!! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much man. I've been needing to rebuild my database but the power button didnt work until now. Thanks again bro.
Thank you so much I had recently just rebuild my PS4 after it overheated and everything was fine and it was my first PS4 repair ever and the only thing that was wrong was the power but after watching your video it all good now thank you
Good job on the video man. Been wondering why it wasn't turning on after I cleaned it. To be honest, your video has been the most helpful out of all the threads and posts I've seen online. Great job.

You are a legend ma brother May God blesd u 🙏 this helped me allot
Nice find. I was about to investigate the problem but decided to check you tube and found your video. Saved me trouble. Hopefully the metal piece is there. I actually had this problem since the date you posted the video...coincidence? Thanks man. PS: I just literally fixed this in 30 seconds... thanks again.
I was racking my brain trying to figure out why my ps4 wouldn't turn on by the power button. This was exactly what I needed! Thanks so much!

You DO know that the clear plastic with two torx screws holding it down is supposed to stay attached to your silver top cover right? If you had removed those torx screws too then the power button would not be an issue. If you keep flexing/bending metal, especially that thin, it will suffer metal fatigue and break, then you're really screwed.

Broool I wish there was such a thing as a superlike. You just saved me hella headache I’m trying to set up my ps4 pro and was tripping when the power button wasn’t working. Thank you so much
Thanks so much man! Was about to sent it for repair, turns out this is EXACTLY what was wrong with my ps4. Took only 2 min to fix!
Worked for me, after I had thought id borked something when replacing the thermal paste! Thanks for this video, effective and to the point!
This video is 4 years old but helpful. I have the same PS4 and the cover to the plastic that the guy is pointing out is attached together with double sided tape instead of it being two separate pieces.
Yo my guy, you’re a lifesaver! I thought my piece broke off too, But somehow mine was shoved under that clear plating and it just looked like it got snapped off, so I really had to work and practically bend my case to get it in the right position, (honestly don’t know how I could have done it to begin with) and now I have a working power button again! Unfortunately it was not also a fix for my disc tray button 😕 threw you a sub for the help tho my g 🤙🏻
Thank you very much, I thought I had broken my start button while trying to dust off my ps4. As soon as I watched your video and put your advice into practice by making sure that the metal part touched the connector it worked immediately, thank you very much. BIG THANKS💚
Thanks alot bro thought my PS4 button was broken until I watched this video, fixed with ease thanks.
Hay man, thank you so much for this video, I didn’t use my PC since 5 months because of this problem 😭♥️
This helped me so much because my ps4 button was broken and I couldn't turn on my ps4 so lots of love man
good looks bro, really saved my life from a beating.. went to take it apart to clean it for my dad and he thought i broke it till i found this video
This saved a new ps4. Thank you man.. I'm liking and subing
Thanks you very much, I spend lot of hours to understand what happen to my PS4 and lot of hours restarting her with my finger on the gold plate ! 3 years later it's work with your video thank you !
Many thanks for this - my power button mysteriously didn't work after just taking my PS4 apart to change the thermal paste. Pushed the metal prong under following your instructions and hey presto my power button works again!
Thank you, been looking around to find out why, my pwr button was not working properly, I went from videos on removing the housing components and "cleaning" till i seen your video and again Thank You, probably saved my system lol
Found it easier to just take the top off, rip away the plastic, put it back properly and put it altogether again :) thank you very much, great troubleshooting skills!
When you *finally* clean your PS4 out but think you broke it BUT THEN this guy saves the day, lol. Thanks bro!
Thank you for this! I was able to get my PS4 working again because of this video!
This helped!! Btw your fridge has a defrost issue. That noise is the evaporator fan hitting frost that hadnt defrosted during the defrost cycle. If you unplug it and leave the doors open for 12 hours “not running” doors OPEN!. To defrost all the ice inside the evaporator, it will work great and if the noise returns you have either a bad defrost timer, bi metal/heater.... i kmow you prolly have a new fridge by now but you helped me so im helping whoever too lol. - appliance refrigeration instructor
You absolute legend! I fully stripped me ps4 down to clean/dust it and couldn't get it to power on, pulled it apart 2 more times ehh and still wouldn't power in and then I found your video! Cheers
Thx you just saved My life just after looking at that title

I Love You Bro, You saved me, This botton of my PS4 was broken, but i could turn It on with the Control. Yesterday, i put my controls conected in another PS4, and This makes me Impossible to play on my PS4, but i fixed my botton because of you! Thanks bro
Thank you baby Jesus for letting me find this video and thank you soo much!!! This saved my life! 😂 I thought I broke my ps4 after cleaning it today 😒 but after watching this all is good! 🙌

Thx u soo much I didn't finish the video but when u said the last step it help me ☺
Thank you sir, just bought a PS4 off of OfferUp and got ripped off was bricked and power button was jacked up. Big thumbs up bud thanks again.
Woooo thanks! Came looking for a solution & your video saved the day! Thank you so much!!
OMFG thank you so much!!! I’ve been trying to transfer my data from ps4 to ps5 for so long now and this fixed it!
Thanks man! Quick and easy fix after disassembling my PS4.
Thank you guy, very usefull this video. I wonder since 10 days why my ps4 does not start again. And I cleaned up before not starting. Here, 430 dollars to buy another ps4, thanks to covid. I pay 70 dollars more, I can buy ps5. So that makes 10 days unless playing ps4. This video can give me a solid explanation! Thank you, I will try to put this part better on my ps4.
thanks a lot man! your video saved my ps4 from service centre.
I came across this video because i reset my ps4 and got up to this point. My power button actually wasn't working but this showed my how to fix that issue, my only problem now is that my power button is acting as the reset button as well so now i basically have 2 resets. still going to look for other options but this video helped so much!!!!
Probably the best how to video out there lol, thanks.
Thank you so much for this ez fix video for the power button. I thought this wouldn't work for a second but I was definitely in the wrong. 👍 👍
This saved me money and time bro. I appreciate it.
