PlayStation 4 Pro: 插电开机蓝光亮一下就熄灭

Sat, 10 Jan 2026 11:27:15 -0700

很久没用了，按一下蓝光会亮一下然后马上熄灭，之后再按就没反应，拔掉电源一段时间再插上按开机又会亮一下后熄灭。

PlayStation 4 Pro: 游戏机没办法打开了，主机能亮，但是插上显示器没有画面，不知道是什么原因导致的

Thu, 04 Dec 2025 07:40:53 -0700

如题，有段时间没玩了，放在家里的储藏间，可能是没保护好，被蟑螂安家了，拿出来擦了擦，接入电源之后，主机可以亮，但是显示器没有画面显示，不知道是哪里出现了问题，过了质保，官方送修价格比较贵，检测是一笔费用，维修是一笔费用，想要问问有没有懂的大佬，判断下是什么问题，准备自己拆机维修更换。

DualSense Controller v2: Stuck D-Pad even after cleaning

Wed, 17 Jun 2026 15:15:06 -0700

Hey y'all, my down button on the d-pad is 'stuck' so that when I turn my controller on, it's constantly scrolling down unless i actively press UP on the d-pad. The physical button itself is not stuck in a pressed down position. I already took my controller apart and cleaned the rubber + d-pad and the problem is persisting. Does this sound like a software issue then instead of a hardware one? Any advice would be helpful!

PlayStation 3 Slim: PS3 not start after reflow of bluetooth/wifi chip

Wed, 17 Jun 2026 06:33:38 -0700

Hi, my bluetooth was not working so i tryed this tutorial about reflow the bluetooth/wifi chip of a PS3 slim using flux liquid and a hair dryer for the warm air.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GppwrmXM...

After I did it, the ps3 is not starting. When i connect the ps3 to the energy, the red light is on, but it takes some time to get on. Then, when i press the start button, the light get’s green for a second and the cooler starts to rotate, but then, after a second it stops and the light puts off. Then, after some time it puts red again, and puts off again. The start button does not work at this moment. If i dissconnect the ps3 from the energy and connect again it’s the same, i can start the ps3 and the green light and the cooler are on for one second, after that they stops.

Maybe i broke the connector of the powe supply when warming the chip with the hair dryer? the chip is very near of the power supply connector.

Maybe the flux liquid has broken something? i putted too much liquid and it spreaded on the motherboard.

Exists a solution for this?

thank you.

PD: after giving a little more of warm air and mounting the full console now even the red light isn’t putting red when i connect it to the energy…

PlayStation 5: PS5 Error SU-101312-8 and 'Ghost Disc' - Drive won't take or eject discs

Wed, 17 Jun 2026 03:28:25 -0700

My PS5 disc drive is completely unresponsive and I am getting error code SU-101312-8. The console exhibits 'ghost disc' behavior: when I press the eject button, the console turns on as if there is a disc inside, but the drive is empty and will not accept any new discs.

I have already tried the following with no success:

1. Full power cycle (unplugged for 30+ minutes).

2. Restarting in Safe Mode.

3. Manually turning the manual eject screw (both clockwise and counter-clockwise) to try and reset the mechanical intake rollers.

4. Reseating the large ribbon cable connecting the disc drive to the motherboard.

The console still refuses to recognize the drive or take discs. I suspect it might be a blown fuse (F5401/F5402) or a stuck internal sensor. Any advice on how to test the sensors or which specific fuses to check for my model would be greatly appreciated.

PSP E1000: PSP E1004, backlight works but no image.

Wed, 17 Jun 2026 02:18:21 -0700

Hi guys, I'm having a problem with my PSP e1004 (Street).

I followed the guide for the Baryon Sweeper, tested it on a working PSP of the same model, and the service menu opens correctly.

However, I'm having a problem with this other PSP Street. Specifically, I have no signs of life other than the green LED. When I plug in the Baryon and use the key combination to launch the service menu, the backlight turns on, but there's no image on the screen.

I can rule out a display malfunction since I tested it on a working PSP. I've also attached the sweeper logs.

What could be the problem? The PSP appears to be alive, but there's no image, just the backlight.

PS: The backlight only turns on if I connect the PSP to the sweeper and open the service menu.

PlayStation 5: Playstation 5 powers on, repairs console storage, and shuts off

Tue, 16 Jun 2026 19:23:50 -0700

Greetings, I purchased a used Playstation 5 knowing it has issues and figured I'd make an attempt to fix it. I figured for 100$ what could I lose.

Here is whats happening:
The console powers on, does the "Repairing console storage" (every time upon boot), finishes, restarts, and when the Playstation logo comes up, the Playstation logo stays on the screen for about approximately 38 seconds before a glitchy horizontal bar flashes, and the logo on the screen goes away, with the console turning itself off.

What I've done so far:
I have completely cleaned the system from dust, checked the liquid metal and made sure it was fine with no oxidation spots or ran off to the sides. I have updated the console with the required updates via USB directly from Sony. I have rebuilt the system, cleared the cache, and reinstalled the system software.

Any educated guesses as to why the system might be turning itself off at the Playstation logo?

PlayStation 4: PS4 Won't Turn On, Unresponsive power button and eject button only bee

Tue, 16 Jun 2026 17:06:18 -0700

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?

I checked the soldered fuse with a multimeter, and it was soldered correctly.

PSP 1000: PSP-1000 won’t bootgreen power LED flashes once then turns off

Sun, 14 Jun 2026 07:37:31 -0700

Hi everyone, I need help troubleshooting my PSP-1000.

I was originally on official 6.61 stock firmware with no custom firmware installed. I then installed ARK-5 using this guide:

https://www.pspunk.com/psp-cfw/

After installing ARK-5, I made it permanent using the cIPL Flasher option.

On 11/06/2026, I copied GTA: Liberty City Stories to the PSP’s Memory Stick and started playing. It seemed to work fine at first.

Today, 12/06/2026, I played Liberty City Stories again and completed around two missions. Suddenly, the game froze, the screen showed graphical artifacts/glitches, and then the PSP shut itself off.

Now when I try to power it on, the green power LED only flashes once for a few milliseconds and then immediately turns off. The screen stays black and it does not boot.

Current symptoms:

Model: PSP-1000
Firmware before CFW: 6.61 official firmware
CFW installed: ARK-5
Permanent install method: cIPL Flasher
Game being played when it failed: GTA: Liberty City Stories
Screen froze with graphical artifacts before shutdown
Now the green power LED flashes once briefly, then turns off
No Sony logo
No XMB
No sound
No recovery menu that I can access
Plugging it into a computer does not register
Screen stays black

Troubleshooting I have already tried:

Tried powering on normally with the battery installed
Tried powering on while connected to the official Sony charger
Charger gives an orange light with the battery installed, so the PSP is receiving power/charging
Tried removing the battery and powering it with only the official Sony charger
Same result with charger only: single green flicker, black screen, then off
Tried removing the battery and pressing/holding buttons before putting the battery back in
Tried connecting it to a computer, but it does not register
Tried removing the Memory Stick before powering on
Tried booting while holding R for recovery menu, but nothing appears

Because it will not boot into XMB, recovery menu, or USB mode, I do not know how I would “wipe” it. From what I understand, I can only format the Memory Stick externally on a PC, but I cannot wipe or reinstall the PSP’s internal flash unless it can boot into recovery or be recovered using something like a Pandora Battery / Magic Memory Stick.

Does this sound more like:

a cIPL/flash brick from the permanent ARK-5 install,
a corrupted Memory Stick issue,
a bad power switch/power board,
a motherboard/GPU failure,
or another hardware fault?

The graphical artifacts before it shut off make me wonder if this is hardware-related, but the timing after installing permanent CFW also makes me worried it could be a brick.

What should I test next? Would a Pandora Battery and Magic Memory Stick be the correct recovery method for a PSP-1000 in this state, or should I be looking at power board/motherboard faults first?

Any help would be appreciated.
