AWESOME video Andrew, and I think that by you taking the time and trouble to put this video together you've possibly solved the problem I'm having with the "persistant WLOD" PS4 board I spoke to you about a little while ago, so, many many thanks mate, and keep up the good work! (",)

EXCELLENT JOB! bud your not only a smart guy but also a patient one.

Great vid dude! Thanks for posting. Keep up the good work!

I now have the exact same issue with a SP4 here, bad resistor and I think the encoder IC is also dead. This is my first one with this issue. And as always, great video!

Thank you for being very detailed! This is a big help.

I appreciate how thorough you are in your videos. too bad you didn't live close to me in Texas and I could have you just fix mine lol😊

Colega que grande ojala pudiera hacer lo que tu con esos aparatos y tener lo.necesario tambien todo es aprender y viendo a gente como tu se aprende indiferentemente del idioma que hables un saludo un abrazo y sigue asi maquina!!!

Great Video Paul. keep them coming

Could a bad encoder IC cause that resistor to be OL in diode mode? I've got a PS4 here with these exact symptoms. Resistor reads OL, and I tried replacing it with a donor but still reading OL. I already replaced the encoder IC, but I suspect it may be a defective chip since the resistor is still OL. Either way I'm going to try replacing the IC again, but I just wanted to get an idea if I'm on the right track with that resistor. If a bad ic could pull it down (or up? You know what I mean), that would be useful to know for future diagnostics.

Just Awesome ..keep up good work

Nice repair mate big thumbs up

New subscriber ... many thanks for the information you provide. Quick question ... the diodes right behind the hdmi port of a PS4, any specs on them?? We do port repairs here, I've had a few come in with them missing. Would be nice to have the correct ones on hand. I know the resistors are 2kohm. But no idea what diodes are needed. Someone said VDZT2R5.6B is a good replacement. Can you confirm?

The resistor seen with the defect on my board has 26k of resistance, should be replaced?

Andrew My PS4 beeps when I press it on once then the second it beeps and light come on for 2 seconds what do I do? Can I send it you ,UK

Great video very helpful. I am reading OL on my pin 13 resistor as well. I really wished I knew the value of it though because I don't have a ps4 parts board. I have some old ps3 parts I hope I can find one on?

great work

Hello, I have a doubt, my ps4 when it lights presents the PlayStation logo does not return to give video and is left with the light in white. I want to know if it is HDMI Video Output IC MN86471A Chip for Playstation 4 that needs to replace or only the HDMI port.

Nice video Paul, just one question . What is the value of the resistance you replaced ? I'M going to look for it on my Xbox 360 spare parts

Hi Andrew I was wondering if u could please give me some advice? I have a ps4 with the white light. Just below the hdmi port on the left side there are two resistors. The closer one to the hdmi port has blown off and a previous repairer has bridge them. Firstly would that work? Secondly if not do you know the value of it many thanks lee.

Is there any chance that just the HDMI port is bad if I don't see any bent pins inside the connector, and all the pins soldered to the motherboard look good?

I can't seem to get the ground pin holes clear on the board in order to install the new HDMI port, I'm using amtech flux & MG chemicals super wick with my iron at 850 and the wick gets stuck to the board when trying to wick up the solder in the holes.

wow Andrew Paul this was a gr8 video like trying to fix thing but I have never try anything like a ps4 I have fix a few xbox ones and xbox 360 but not ps4 yet

Hey... love your vids. ..Im having an issue with that resistor @ 10:45 in your video. I get a reading of 1.033 even when i put the Positive probe on the left of the resistor and vise-versa. What could be the issue? Help Please

great work!!!

Hi. 650 ohm resistor is the one that would have to be? or what is the real value of sony. I have the same error on my PS4 and also ordered the HDMI driver. Greetings.

hi dear, I need your help, please I would like the reference of the diodes and resistor for the hdmi, to be able to buy, thank you

Hi Andrew, I am not sure if you remember me. I had a ps4 with no video output and I had changed the hdmi port and the encoder on it. But the problem the problem was not solved. Today after months I was able to fix it. Somehow three of the diodes were shorted and conducting in both directions. I changed all of them with a donor board and now it works :).

Hi Andrew i have changed the hdmi ic and the resistor butt still no 1.070 v what you are measuring is there anything else that i have to check can you give some advice the port is new all the pins are good still having wlod

good night andrew, a question, the resistor of pin 13 of a ps4 fat what value does it have? Regards!

Thank you I found it.

Would it be acceptable to bypass a bad resistor with solder blob between the 2 pads?

Looks like this is same as what's happened to mine, I'm getting zero reading both ways on that resistor, the one just above it I get readings as though it was good so I shall try a donor board to fix it.

Hello thanks for all your great videos I have an issue after replacing the hdmi port and encoder i get OL on my multimeter with probes in both directions even after removing the encoder again I tried replacing the resistor I pulled from a donor board that had a 1v reading and when I replaced it behind the diode I got OL reading with the replacement resistor and suggestions why I still get that reading any advice would be greatly appreciated

hello my friend good job 👍can you help me and answer a question? I lost an SMD component when replacing the HDMI socket. It sits directly near the HDMI jack ... there are two components .... a 2,6uf capacitor and a diode, can you tell me what that is for a diode?

You are awesome ! I have some questions : we can kill the encoder IC with the hot air ? Where you purchased the component ? Pin 13 resistor ? Thanks for your good job :)

i have a ps4 slim the caps all around apu are shorted and some other resistors on the board are gone all i get is a beep 1sec blue light and off.

Thanks ....Andrew Paul

Hello My Gold friend , I have ps4 pro, nva-001 . I bought it used, it had WLOD, there was hdmi port replaced. I replaced that IC chip from panasonic (hdmi chip) but still got no video on my tv. can you help me what to do? I swapped it from ps4 slim that ic chip, no help. than I replaced that one with new IC chip, still no help. can you tell me how to act?

You seem like something that might be able to understand my issue. I recently bought a secondhand PS4, it was said to be working perfectly so I assume it was working that way until I received it. My first boot of the console I was greeted with a constant pulsing blue light, I assumed it was a HDMI cable fault or even my monitor I was using, I swapped with others. After a few reboots I did get the console to work on my monitor so I ruled out that as the issue. So while it was working, I played with a few things and opened a game. Then back came the pulsing blue light. After a few more tries again, I finally got the console to boot normally. I changed a few settings, accounts and so on, then tried to enter the Playstation Store, then back came the Blue Pulsing. After that, it wouldn't start up at all. I have tried many different methods none seem to work or offer any solution. So if you have an answer it would be great appreciated

great paul thanks for uploading this video paul if u dont mind can u tell me which microscop u r using and if u tell me the name.model no.plz i wanna buy the same.one

so if my console turns on white and new hdmi put infor me for £60 local and sent it back to me not working! what do you suggest to me please Andrew?

Hi, what's the value of the resistor?

so im repairing a friends hdmi port , found it had a 1 of the 4 filter by the controller IC bad . and put that on order (this part number DLW21SN900HQ2L). but i also found that the same resistor that you mention here as bad. while trying to find the value of the resistor i found your video. i was wondering if you knew the value of the resistor so i can order it . i do not have a donor board. thanks

great work again! where are you finding the appropriate values for resistance? I've searched for a schematic

hey andrew. thx for the video. i have a ps4 saa-001 here with static snow/no picture and sound at all. i changed the port 3 times now with a new hdmi ports. but still have the same problem. i have done over 20 hdmi replacments and its now a "10 minute job" for me. everything is soldered perfectly. do i have just bad luck and all of the 3 new hdmi ports where fulty in a row, or could something else be faulty. normaly when an hdmiport is faulty i get flickering and static slow, but no permanent static snow.

Hi Andrew what brand and type of microscope do you recommend? any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hey your vids are very helpful thanks. Just wondering if you know what diodes the 3 little ones to left of of the larger pin13 one on the hdmi socket side. Looks like the furtherest away 2 from hdmi socket are open and first one leaky? Reads as diode both ways???

hi Bro my ps4 no beep no power i replace power supple still no power i think my board need repair do u have any idea whats problem ...?

Hello Brother, can you do ps4 pro white light of death. I changed the encoder ic and hdmi, it displays nothing.

Cheers! Great video done well.. I recently picked up a PS4 with "no signal" I've tried all the typical problem solving different TV different cable etc. all to no avail. Right away would it be best to test for continuity on the HDMI port? I'm an engineering student so I've got some skills with trouble shooting, soldering and multi-meter use. I'd like to see it I can do the repair myself. Any guidance would be appreciated Greetings from the USA Jimmy

Hola. Buenas , me sabrías decir que componentes son los de la foto de los puntos alternativos arriba a la izquierda del conector hdmi de color verde uno tiene el 16 mi placa los tiene quitados y los diodos negros los tengo localizado pero esos dos no sé qué son. Y si me pudieses decir también cuál es el resistor que cambias sería ideal. Las especificaciones del resistor me refiero. Un saludo y mil gracias de antemano. Excelente trabajo!!!

Buenas tardes, ¿que valores tiene la resistencia que cambias? ¿Es una 2k 650R? Gracias. Un saludooo

do u have a video on how to fix a console where the blue light just pulses and it wont go into safe mode it just turns off if u hold the power button down. everything i see for it says hdmi and hd but both of those r fine ive changed or checked both and they are fine. even changed power supply to no avail any ideas?

Hi My nephews PS4 HDMI port was ‘fixed’ by a cowboy from Nottingham. When it was returned it would only turn on via the controller, still no picture and no power beep. Having inspected myself the HDMI looks ok but the piezo speaker is melted and the power switch has been soldered?? There is still no picture and still a solid white light. Can you look at it please?

good job +Andrew Paul, do known what's was the resistor value ? I have kind of same issue, resistor open and Blue LOD, I will change the encoder IC (ordered already)

What's the resistor value? I think I have the same problem.

I have same problem as you had, no picture, changed hdmi port, IC, and that rezistor have 27k when I pull it out , but so far In Diode test and attacted in the board it would not give me 1.5 Volts, its just infinite. Can you advise ?

I have recently ran into the same white light and I've got mine taking apart right now but the HDMI port/pins look perfectly fine. now it appears that I'm running into a completely different monster than I was expecting. 😢

I hate to ask this, but would you happen to know the value of the Zener diode on pin 15 on the HDMI port? I've done some googling and it seems that you can either use one diode from the PS3 or a different one that is also mentioned in the same post. My issue is that they have widely different Zener Voltage values. So any help would be appreciated and I apologize for asking this on your video that covers pin 13. (And very nicely I might add. ;) ) Thank you.

Hi, I also have a bed resistor on Pin 13. My multimeter show value 0, what kind of resistor is it or what value I have to buy?

Hi what cost would repair be. Ive just turned mine on today , had fuzzy screen . Then it went blank with white light. The hd port looks fine but you never know. I was goin to replace the port myself so opened it and port looked fine. So put back together. Hope you can help Thank you

I have a similar issue When using the multi meter what do you test for and what are the results to be expected ?

Any chance I could still send you mine to be fixed for this issue? I live in UK

How much does this cost? I have the exact same problem

Hello, at 3:15 , what product are you using to remove the green protection on copper please?

Sos muy bueno te hago una consulta la.mia tiene la luz blanca y no da imagen que podrá ser es una Slim gracias desde argentina

I did it!!! I replaced an encoder IC!!!!!!!!!

how can i test the diode and the resistor under the hdmi port if its good?

hello I have WLOD and I replaced my HDMI port but still nothing. So I pulled it back down to check everything out and a video filter fell off. What should I do? Do you work on them for people?

I have a working PS4, except that the power and eject buttons are broken.

I have a ps4 that dis color when play a game in disk drive does any one know what is wrong with it

I messed up the other one next to hdmi don't know how to get another one

could you have replaced the resistor with one of a different physical size but of equivalent value ? if you didn't have a donor board for example.. and would you just do a resistance test on similar resistors on the board to get the resistance value required?

where can i find those replacements?

HDMI port and Encoder IC how much did that cost him?

Do you know what ohms that resistor is?

There are 3 diodes missing next to my ic chip does anyone know where to get them and what voltage they are?

Can you suggest a good soldering iron for a beginner? I'd like to start tinkering with some old XB1 boards and stuff I've got.

hey man, i am struggling with one ps4 WLOD changed the broken port and the HDMI IC chip but still no display. there is some short on 2 big caps and this short on 2 big caps is there no matter ic chip is there or not. i can't really figure out the issue, so i need your email id to send you photos to get some help.

Hi, Andrew. Nice videos! Very didatic and helpful. Just one doubt: do you know what is the size and/or encapsulation code of this resistor at Pin13? I've heard it's a 26k ohms resistor, but I don't know what is the right encap code (0603, 0805?). Thank you anyway and keep going!

hola la verdad no lo se pregunte a andrew pero no respodio para mi es ese el problema si es un diodo zenner deveria tener un resistor mas bajo creo pero no se el valor exacto y no tengo otra ps4 para comparar si alguno sabe desde ya gracias

Why didn't you measure the value of the replacement resistor? Not everyone has a junked PS4 motherboard that they can pinch components from.

OKI I've recently replaced my PS4's HDMI port. All the pins are lined up and connected to the pads on the motherboard. I've tested all the resistors and ECT. for continuity and they all check out. The problem is that while I was cleaning it the, I've heard you call them in other videos, video output filters broke off. Two of those four little capitors under the Encoder IC chip are junk and the other two probably are far behind them. So what do I type into the internet search engine to order more? PS4 video output filters? PS4 HDMI Encoder video output filters? Both of these searches have failed. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Strange problem for me . I replaced an hdmi port totally broken . The ps4 now it's working but the video output is not working at 1080p , but working on 480p 720p and 1080i . Could this strange problem be due to the encoder? I tried on 2 tv that are accepting 1080p

Ok Im getting frustrated. I am using a brand new IC. My resistor reads OL. I tried 2 other boards both with working video, yet pun 13 resistor reads OL. Sooooo what am I missing???

hello andrew i would like some help on my xbox one had a soda spilt on top ive disassembled from your videos just need help figuring out what to do to get it turned back on will not turn on

hi, i have a ps4, and in the pin 13 I have short to ground, already remove diode and still continue on the socket side, any suggestions?

i have a ps4 slim and that resistor near the diode pin 13 gives no value, is it like the ps4 FAT ? i replace the encoder ic but no display ... any help andrew ?

Hi you could say what is the value of the diode resistor to my mark 25kohm is good or damaged

wich is the resistor value?

merci

@Andrew Paul please can you tell me what is the value of the resistor?

Any chance I will find same diode on PS3 super slim motherboard?

do you have resistor value?

do u have any solution for ps4 1 tb pulsing blod ?

great vid but atess show them where to use heat resistance tape you know there many people who look at youtube for advice and many are first timer not to look down on them no heat resister they might dmg other components

what does ol really mean, open line, over limit, open loop i dont know

Sir im having wlod on my ps4 for over a month and i have deassembled and checked its hdmi port and pins and everything looks fine but can't figure out what can be the problem causing persistent wlod on my ps4?? Can you reply sir?? Even i have replaced my TV and hdmi cables but still....

You are truly awesome!!, I´ve got a WLOD issue pretty odd, I turn on my PS4 and at the beginning everything is ok, the ps4 LOGO appears on screen, I can play a game for a while, but suddenly (about 5min) the video signal disappear and I can´t see anything on screen anymore, it´s like something is overheating inside my console, I really don´t know what is going on. Can you help me to find a solution for this issue. Thanks in advance.

just replaced hdmi ic and hdmi port and the resistor ... still white light... i can hear the menu sound . and the resolution always blinking on my tv 480p.. any idea whats the problem?
