I bought a broken PS4. I bought it broken with full intentions of fixing it. I believe it’s the original model PS4.
The symptoms are:
I press the power button. It beeps. Nothing happens.
I wait a few seconds, press the button, it beeps, I hear a click, and lights up. The fan spins and hard drive revs up.
2 seconds later, the PS4 turns off. I hear a click when it shuts off from the back right side.
I have tried all the usual fixes:
Putting it on its side, using a different cable, gently hitting with the knee, changed out power supply, changed out harddrive.
All fixed did not work. Same issue no other symptoms.
Does anyone have a fix for this before I delve deeper and disassemble the motherboard? Is there anything I’m missing? Thanks in advance.
