    PS4 - Weird BLOD Problem - Still Turns On Sometimes

    Hi folks!

    I'm new here. And I'm new to the world of electronics and repair. My PS4 suffers from the blue light of death. I have tried the washer method, cleaning it and replacing thermal paste and also replacing the hard drive.

    What's weird about this blue light of death is that it will boot up, but when it restarts or is turned off it won't turn back on again unless it's left for a significant amount of time. Usually a few hours to a day or two.

    Would this still be an APU problem or is there anything else I could look into checking?

    Your help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks folks!

      blod can be many things I would suggest to reflow all the ram chips as a starting point. the chips are a lot smaller so temp setting should be around 200 degrees and flow each chip for around 90 seconds each one, also use flux, best is kingbo rma flux and mask off any other small components that might be near the ram. let us know how that goes.

          Exactly which PS4 model is this? As newbie_unlocker mentioned, there are a ton of causes for BLOD and it would help to know which version of the console you're running. Launch consoles were most affected by the APU solder connection issue which is very commonly remedied with the washer trick. The newer models like the pro however, don't generally have the same issues.

              MacBook Pro 14" M1 Pro Turns on functions then turns off when I plug in USB C cable
              by Stephen
              MacBook Pro 14" M1 Pro Turns on functions then turns off when I plug in USB C cable to reset the computer. I disconnect the battery fully and then reconnect it and it won't turn back on. After letting it sit for a day I plug the battery back up, and the MagSafe 3 cable and it powers on and stays ons, once I plug in a USB C cable into the port closes to the MagSafe port it turns off and the Amber light turns off and won't turn on. No water damage, nothing, I want to do a DFU restore to wipe the computer since the customer stated they did an update and ever since it just decided to not work...

              Ps5 edm-020 3sec BLOD
              by Wompatti-
              I have a ps5 with blue light flashing about three seconds when I press the power button and then it turns of. Second press, only beeb but nothing else. Third press, 3sec blod etc...
              BUT the weird part is if I unplug the power cord and put it back, the console will start without pressing the power button and give that 3sec blod.
              UART shows error code 80800024 and nothing else. There are no cracks on the apu. No shorts on the board that I can find. All standby rails are present and all power on rail will show up for that 3second period. I've tested with two different psu and reflashed...

              LG L192WS-BN backlight turns off after 1 second
              by www
              I am testing an old LG L192WS-BN monitor I have that gives an image, but has a backlight issue. When you turn it on the backlight turns on 1 second and it turns off, turns on again, 1 second and it turns off and stays off. Using a flashlight I can see there's still an image.

              I replaced a bulged cap on the main board, but made no difference. I also got another exact same model monitor that has a broken ccfl (the connector got ripped from the panel and the main screen connector is also broken so I can't use this panel to test), tried using the main board from this one, same issue....

              Anker SoundCore 2 Bluetooth Speaker Turns Off After a Few Seconds (Possibly Firmware Issue?)
              by zklgfs
              Hi,

              I have an Anker SoundCore 2 (A3105) that I saved from the trash (well, I guess there's a reason why it was supposed to go into the trash...). The problem is that it always turns off after a few seconds (sometimes it stays on a bit longer, between 30 and 60 seconds, but it still turns off). The power light turns on and the bluetooth light starts blinking, but both abruptly turn off again. The "turn off sound" is still played after the lights turn off. Sometimes, it also loops the on-off cycle several times without me pressing any buttons. If I connect an AUX cable, music...

              The board turns on, there is no image.
              Read more. When the power supply is connected, the front panel indicators light up briefly.
              When you press the power button, the button indicator lights up. The board works
              there is no image, there is no matrix initialization, there is no image on HDMI.
              When turned on, the fans do not spin, but when they warm up they start spinning.
              When you turn off the button, the fans spin up to full speed for a short...
