Hi, so my dads ps4 is having a weird issue. You turn it on, play a game, after some time you hear a beeeeep coming from the TV. The PS4 signal is lost, you can hear the game for a brief few seconds before no signal is displayed on the PS4 and it is stuck on white light. At first it was hard to turn the PS4 on. It stayed BLOD. I was able to get it to boot up after unplugging from the wall a few times and discharging the PSU aswell as boot it into safe mode, rebuild database, reset to factory settings etc. I thought maybe a heating issue so I took it apart and changed the thermal paste as the one it had was very bad and hard etc. upon opening it the fan had some dust which I didn’t bother to remove just because I wants to check if it worked but the dust was minimal. I am not sure what causes this issue. Please help, I’m afraid it’s fault solder Joints with the APU or Ram chips. I might try to BLOD washer trick just In case although it powers and plays just fine for like 10-20 minutes and then has the beep to no signal to white light issue. (Doubtful it’s an hs I issue. Thanks)
Sounds like BLOD fault from overheating. Is it doing the long triple beep noise when it turns off? Or is it turning off without warning? The dust build up is actually mostly on the heatsink fins which stops the air from going through cooling down the heat dissipating from the heatsink. When cleaning any PS4 always clean to the heatsink block because that is what most likely causes most of the overheating on PS4’s where the dust builds up.
