I absolutely love these videos! I run a game console repair shop, and you are responsible for a good number of component-level repairs that we can do. Used to need to fail out any system that had issues with the drive control circuitry. I don't know how/where you get all this information, but you are seriously my hero for sharing it!

Exact fault i have been looking for, suspected the mechanism on the drive were fine, thanks for your insight!

So far this is the most informative video I've seen on ps4 drives not working...I'm gonna see if this is what's plaguing my system. Thanks for going in more depth than everyone else!

My sincere thank you, I had checked the fusibleis before, however your video made me measure them again and find an open one. A hug from Brazil!

Just did this repair In my shop, would of never known that was what was blown! Thanks a lot

Great work and instruction once again Andrew!

had one of these in for repair, same fuse, thank you very much

Many thanks Andrew. I just fixed my Slim by replacing the F6202 with a F5104 from a spare SAB-001 motherboard. At first the replacement didn't work. After that I suspected the fuse wasn't properly soldered onto the motherboard. so I touched each end of the fuse with the tip of the soldering iron to reflow the solder. That fixed the issue :)

Thanks Andrew!! one more time you save my day! !!

Loving videos still Andrew very intresting!!! Keep up hard work

Great job Bud, definitely best expert at the moment,now waiting for SAD -002.

Cheers mate - it's weird as they've used a smaller form-factor fuse in here than the older boards. Are you finding they're like this one where they're more-or-less welded to the board as well? Not a very clever specification change by the looks of things. :(

Hello Andrew,first of all i should thank you,i've had a ps4 slim here putting up the error code su-42118-6 and tried everything from reinitializing console and swopping drive,i also replaced the renesas ic on board with the same error coming up and then i stumbled on your video here as the drive would not take in games so i thought id give it a try and found out that the fuse you highlighted here was the problem i had,i replaced it and viola ps4 reinitialized and i currently have fifa playing,if it wasnt for you then this ps4 would have been going to the scrap pile,keep upthe good work,you have just saved me a lot of time and confusion as to what was wrong.So this solved the SU-42118-6 error for me

On the ps4 I fixed thanks to one of your videos (not slim but it had the exact same problem). The fuse wouldn't come off with hot air so I didn't even try to replace it and solder the one I picked from a PC motherboard on top of it. Worked perfectly and I didn't risk to damage the pins more that way.

Hi Andrew, big thanks for all the work you do! I have an SAE-001 (CUH-2116A) with this problem, but all the fuses I can find on this board that you mention check out fine in continuity, 6201, 6202, 5001 and 6001. Board layout is different though, and I can't find any schematics. Any chance you're familiar with this model?

Do you know the values of the fuse? Voltage and Amperage? I need to replace it but I don’t know which one to get! Can I use a fuse from a Nintendo DS motherboard?

Great video, I've had quite a few come in with bad fuses. I'm still not sure why they keep blowing since after replacing them it works fine and doesn't blow again. I need more scrap PlayStations.

Hey ya Andrew, long time no talk. I have a CUH-2116B in, it has a dead blu ray drive, but my board is completely different to yours? and all the fuses check out. is there anywhere else to check? Was actually thinking of sending this one to you so you could do another video of it.

Nice one Andrew. Had one of these last week...used my only donor board for just one fuse. Do you know if any of the fat models have the same fuse values? I have a ton of them laying around but I don't know if, say, a BDP-025 would have the same fuse values. Water, Water everywhere and not a fuse to drink!

i came across this problem last week, failing 6.20 update fault it was the same fuse.

Is it possible to apply soldering on F6202 directly instead of removing it ? Others have done it at it worked but is there any risk ?

By any chance do you have videos for the ps3 disc drive repairing? I put in a CD and didn't read it so now it is stuck in there.

Is the fuse location the same on the SAD-002 all 4 fuses check out good but drive is still dead and I changed the drive and it’s still dead? Any ideas? Thanks

This is Bad RENESAS IC chip. You can swap it from another console but it will not play games anymore and will give you an error

Where can I buy these fuses brand new? And how do I know the value? Can I harvest fuses from fat boards?

so. if all 4 of these fuses pass a continuity check, but i have no disc feed, i either need to replace the motor board in the optical drive (KLD 004) or the whole optical drive right? for perspective, inserting a disc into the front of the drive to trip the switches on the motor board powers on the console if it's off, but does nothing else. no feed, no rolling, no noise.

Sorry Bro, what if i bypass the fuse with a wire, do u think it will work or it's too risky? Thank you for the great video, my only fuse blown is 6202

how often did you tried it until it finally worked?

What a great video sir. All have learned thru ur videos, I didn't learn here in Nigeria. Am greatful. I will appreciate if you could do a tutorial on how to read JBL speaker board. Expecially, if it doesn't power on. Thanks

Question: Will this problem not repeat itself since we don't know what caused the blown fuse? Or do these types of fuses inevitably blow due to peaks in the network/old age.

Where could I get a fuse if I don't have a donor board ?

Do u advise doin this myself.as no where round me dose.this.i have a new ps4 now but wanna fix my old.one as ive only.had it a few yrs

How about a PS4 that takes disc but not how it should, really slow and sometimes have to help it finish it's job. Also when it does finally take the disk it gets read problems

2016 console first time takes in the disc but when you eject and try to insert in one more time it refuses. onece it is restarted some times it also refuses, some times it feeds. what is the problem?

I have taken my mates PS4 apaprt and I seem to have the same problem. - symptoms were not taking a disc and wouldn’t take the 7.50 update. I have tested the continuity of all the fuses in this video and F6202 is blown. Do you take these in for repair and if so how much please? Cheers, Tom

i wouldve tested for short to ground BEFORE adding the fuse tho everything else is great!

Would any Fast Acting 1A Micro fuse work?

do you know what that fuse is or is called? im trying to find it somewhere online i can buy multiples of it but i need the name or maybe number. any help would be greatly appreciated if someone out there sees this and knows what it is.

i have problem with auto disc feed change out disc drive then it does the same i have now tested all the fuses and they all fine any advice for me please Warm Regard Martin

Why does this problem even happen ? It works fine then suddenly does not ? Is it because it gets hot or something and then the continuity stops ?

Keep up the good work buddy. Can you please provide me with a price for two of those fuses, a disc drive sensor (kdl-003) and a fan 1003a. UK shipping

Do you happen to know where the fuse are for the SAF-001? Or how many there are? I don't think you have a video for that model yet

Blue ribbon

Exactly the same issue here, and same open fuse. The loading mechanism is working apparently fine, because I’ve disconnected the FFC ribbon that gets to the motor and applied about 4V to loading motor and it loads/ejects OK. Any idea of which is the Amper rating of these fuses? I don’t have any donor to get the fuse and I never bridge any fuse. Otherwise I’ll have to solder the thinnest wire I can find (from some coaxial braid, etc.).

I’ve soldered a 1A 125V axial minifuse in place of F6202. I’ve found a post in a forum stating that this fuse could be a LittelFuse 435 series, 0402 size, 1A 32V very fast. Luckily there’s enough room for my "large" replacement close to a coil. The metal cover has extra space there and doesn’t touch it. I’ve put some kapton tape to prevent any accidental contact. It works again, thanks!

@AndrewPaul

5 жыл бұрын

These motors peak at relatively high amps when they start - after a few years with dirt / dust on the rollers and a lack of lubrication on the mechanism it takes more effort for the feed motor to advance the mechanics, thus drawing more peak power and eventually blowing the fuse over time. It can also be caused by helping 'push' the disc in as it auto feeds - this is a bigger issue on the slim PS4 as they use a lower rated fuse which exacerbates the issue. Typically, if you're finding your fuse is popping often, clean the drive, lubricate the mechanisms and replace the feed motor - they get weaker over time and again can cause premature fuse failure.

Unfortunately the laser and drive motors work on other PS4s fine. Tried two drives same result. Placing a disc in the drive slot turns on the PS4 but it does not and cannot pull it into the PS4. Making the PS4 think there is a disc in the PS4 I see and hear the laser lens (not the laser unit) move up/down ever so slightly then nothing cause the fuse goes, doesn't ever get to the point the spindle motor spins or the sled motor moves the whole laser.
