Hi,
I purchased a ps4 over a year ago that was on 5.05 running cfw and due to health i never got round to playing on it.
I thought the other day i would have a go on it and noticed shortly after turning it on it would say the ps4 console is too hot and powers down.
I figured maybe its the fan, so i removed the case so i could see the fan and noticed when i power it up, the fan isnt spinning.
So i had someone who fixes ps4 consoles to take a look at it, he cleaned out the fans properly and cleaned the insides best he could without actually taking the console apart and still the fan would not work when powering it on.
So he decided to take out the fan and replace it with another one he knows is working.
He now messaged me saying he isnt sure if its the fan, after replacing it with one he knows is working, the console is still the same, powers on but the fan still isnt going.
He has checked all connections and says they seem fine, nothing broken or not inserted properly, but he isnt sure why the new fan isnt working.
I was wondering if anyone else has witnessed anything similar where their fan stops working and even after replacing it, it still doesn't work.
Im desperate to try find the cause of the problem and get this ps4 working again, the only reason i bought it was because it was on 5.05 and running cfw.
During the very brief time i did use it when i first got it, it worked fine, since then a year an half later not been touched all of a sudden the fan wont work even after replacing it.
Thanks.
