is my ps4 able to fix or not

[omarq8]

hello guys yesterday i bought a used dirty ps4 1216b with 500gb hard drive but when i turn it on the light turn to blue and blinking without signal and hot cpu why is that happen and how to fix it

could be blod, but I don't really know what that entails (if it's a blinking blue light or a solid one). I think it's indicative of hardware failure. I don't know how much they've figured out about this, but you could diagnose it with uart, maybe.

What happens when you turn it on with the controller plugged into the USB port?

i'm going to record a video to see what happen to my ps4

nothing happen i turn it by screwdriver

 

[omarq8]

i took a video for that problem hope i find an answer from you guys
the video is here here

thanks in advance

I would try hard drives.

i took out the hard drive is that the reason of that problem

Your guess is as good as mine. Put in a new hard drive, install new firmware and see if you progress.

i did that but is still the same is that meaning the tearmal paste on the cpu is dry

most likely there's a bigger problem happening. though, I don't know what the ps4 does when it overheats. think the ps3 would have a warning on the xmb, then shutdown.

what kind of problem did i damage my ps4

 

[godreborn]

afaik, it just damaged the hdd to where it wasn't recognized. I have no idea if a kp or many kp's caused it or not or if it was just a coincidence.

 

[godreborn]

nm, thought this was a different post. no idea what could be wrong your ps4. that's why I suggested uart, but I don't know if enough is known to use uart to diagnose a problem. it requires soldering.

I have a hammer you could borrow. Just incase.

the cpu getting hot is normal. it should feel very hot if you turn on the system while it's open and you touch it, same with the headsink. it's probably in the area of 160 degrees F if not hotter within just a few moments. maybe clean out the fan, dust on the motherboard with compressed air, and replace thermal paste. however, the issue you described sounds like the damage is done. the motherboard may have gotten warped due to heat or the cpu has cracked solder joints possibly required a reball. a reball requires a bga station, which costs hundreds of dollars, so you'd have to send it to someone who does this for a living.

I would remove the old thermal paste, a paper towel and a tooth pick will do the trick. Then apply new like arctic silver 5

someone told your ps4 just need to be clean and why now the fan runs so fast and turn off with 3 beeps

you think that what is need because when i turn it on the fan goes loud and then the ps4 turn off with 3 beeps

 

[godreborn]

it could overheating, but if it goes off in seconds, something is definitely wrong. I've unplugged my 360's fan before to see how quickly it would overheat. it was less than two minutes, then two rings of death, which means overheating. not sure how long it would take with a ps4 though.

when i turn it on the fan runs loud and fast the the ps4 turnoff by its self with 3 beeps with no blinking light is that overheat
