My brother was gonna throw away his sons ps4 slim and I checked it out first and it was also just a dying hard drive and I swapped it out and it’s alive again so sometimes parents will throw it out cause they’d rather buy a new one and not deal with the hassle of trouble shooting it

I recently bought a cheap Slim where the harddrive was also dying. The problem was that the previous owner had also mucked around with the disk drive and somehow it wouldn't take in disks (and of course he didn't tell me that). They had somehow managed to put some of the cables that go around the disk drive inside the disk drive, which prevented it from working. I fixed that and put a new harddrive in, turned out the console was still on firmware 8.xx, so I updated it to 9.00. Now all I need to do is to clean the rollers (that one's on me) and the console is fully working again and on 9.00.

absolutely fantastic phil..loving the fact that you have got your hands on a console that others may well have let it rot away but you have not only given it a new lease of life but more importantly it's another electrical device saved from landfill thank you for sharing 👏👏👏

Found you in my recommendations and I gotta say that you are the first person I have seen that has a proper working station. All messy just like my station and just the way I like it.

Great vid, I like to see things repaired and not thrown away, Note to self, if black display screen, try HDD before replacing chip :)

Well done lad. Enjoyed that.

Great video as always, you are a massive inspiration that us smaller creators 👍👍

That port soldering though, nice Job mate

Love your work!

Really interessting, please continue

Another great job Phil! Saving more e-waste and bringing a console back from the dead!

Cod3r delivers the videos 👍

Wow sweet nice work man 💯👍🏾

Nice repair work

I had the exact same issue, replaced the port en the retimer chip and the problem was the hdd hahah from now on i will be checking the hdd first😂, nice video bro!

Great job sir knew ya could do it

Another excellent video.

Good catch, one mans junk is another man's treasure. "Everyone's a winner, "except the person who threw it out" Love to see the person's face if they were one off your subscribers!

Nice job 👍

Nice fix Phil.

Good job !

Nice job 👍👍

I've done that before too, changed the port and encoder only to realize it was the HD!

Nice job!

Phil is the man!

1st time seeing this kind of work replacing hdmi port, its perfect and definitely better than factory.

Excellent!

Good Job!!!!!

Great job. Wish my soldering came out as perfect as yours! :D

If it had been dropped or thrown, which it looks like one or both happened, then with a mechanical drive, it would be very unlikely to survive. So yeah, you should've checked the drive before the decoder :P haha. Came across your channel randomly after watching something, really enjoyed it, will give you a follow on Twitch.

IL BE WATCHING THIS TOMORROW NOW.. off up wooden hill phil. hope u can fix it pal.

easy fix for you nice find

My brothers xbox had no sound and screen kept flickering black. I replaced the hdmi retimer following your videos ( thank you ) and the screen is perfect but still no sound , I've did hard reset and still no luck. I do get sound through a headset though 🤔 Any advice?

480C is a bit much Phil. Try preheating the board and maybe around 400C on the hot air to keep the board in shape

great episode and are you repairing ps3 because I haven't seen any movies on your channel

Thermal paste IS conductive generally; it has silver in it!

As a tech ... I feel your pain.

Just subbed :)

5:00 A little wiggle wiggle, but no jiggle.

Where I use to live in Santa clara ca once a month the city residents can throw out what ever in that time and you wouldn't believe all of the stuff I've found digging thru the garbage from x boxes ps3's, super nintendo countless controllers and all sorts of toys legos etc.

OMG i got same situation, i have been resoldering retimer about 7 times and still no image, i'll check other hard drive today

nice job old man

Try to use low melt solder so it can melt faster and not damage the board with heat by any means. Other than that great job

funny that i came up on your video. someone put out an xbox one and i think it has the same problem with the hard drive. i already replaced the dvd drive twice but it won't go past the logo screen. i would like to install an ssd for faster boots.

I think the beep-on/beep-off thing could have been a slightly dirty connector.

Hey man, I took my ps to a hardware store for them to resolder the PS4 pro power connector back on the motherboard, however, now my PS4 Pro gets power, but it doesn’t turn on. As in, the blue light at the front comes on flashing. None of the ports work & there is no signal in the hdmi. After about 45s it will turn off. Any idea what it could be?

HDD makes sense considering it looks like it was chucked against a wall.

Phil, my update from OSU1 fail at the start of the 3rd segment (75%) Any ideas??

My brand new switch was left in Dock for many mths and it now won't turn on. I see ur repair u did which was for a resistor blown. Nintendo want £126 for the repair as I wanted it official nintendo but is that well over priced?

Would you look at an AM3 motherboard at all? I know it's old hat, but it does a job for what I need it for.

You should of returned it to the house repaired would of been great video and reaction

is that portable AC behind you? If is yes is noisy and does heat in cold days

wish you would ship to the USA I would have bought some xclamps and that ps4 donor board.

I don't like that Microsoft has put the fan in reverse, but anyways very nice job

Did you see the video on yt with the ps5 dev kit a couple of days ago

Is it cold mukka! Tha’s got coat on lol

It was all along the hdd

putting an SSD in these machines helps because the reason the main HD was dead is because of it being knocked/dropped so yes an SSD removes the knocked damage risk

What is your eBay handle? Is it the same?

Well I mean you know they got their use out of it and some people just would not want to pay the cost of repair you know at my shop in the United States that would be minimum I would have to just because of my time charge 150 USD to fix and something like that I probably would actually refer to another company and I believe they charge around $119

How do I book a repair

interesting dude

Only real ones voted yes 😝 Nice work !

I bet it was actually working before you even replaced the port. The port did need to be replaced because it was broken, but I bet the hard drive was the only thing keeping it from working.

Believe it or not I found one in a dumpster in a tip a week ago, turns out it only had a faulty hdmi port.

I once found a PS4 slim on top of a garbage bin (must have been four years or so ago, so they were actually worth more than they are now), it had the top part of the case missing and the metal parts down to the upper part of the drive was heavily bent. The laser was still fine, as was the disk drive. Got a BLOD Slim with no disk drive for around 50 Euros and switched all the components I needed and used that PS4 Slim for quite some time (until I switched to a Pro, that I had also gotten as defective and fixed).

Can I send you my MacBook to repair please it would be massively appreciated?

(Spoiler alert: Do not read the comment if you don’t want any spoilers about a fault) When the screen was black, it was caused by the hard drive, but it was not a total no display issue. I wonder if that Xbox One S could have had a Black Screen of Death issue, because if that’s the case, the HDD could have possibly just been corrupted, and could have maybe been saved along with the console itself.

just discovered your channel, great content mate i used to do repairs on 360's during the rrod times. while others were bodging them with cheesehead bolts, removing x clamps and blasting them with heat guns, a few others and myself were reballing them with leaded solder and reiinstalling the x clamps, the only "upgrade" i did was fitting the heatpipe gpu cooler if it had the crap one on. i dont touch consoles anymore been there done that, good luck. aly, xsinclairuserx. p.s nothing wrong with heatguns in the right hands.
