Thanks for the comment, glad the video was able to help.

Its a torx screwdriver but I cant remember the exact size.

It's not something you have done which will have caused it. It happens for 2 reasons, sometimes the glue just seems to wear out and needs to be replaced or sometimes more worryingly it happens because the battery has started to swell and pushes the screen off. If the battery has started to swell you would need to stop using the phone as charging it would be dangerous.

Some people have used super glue and said it worked fine but I wouldn't personally as it's not really the right glue foe the job.

Sorry I'm not sure what you mean, how would you vacuum it without dismantling it.

@@EasyConsoleFixes I was wondering if it was easier to vacuum it so the dust doesn’t go everywhere, I realise I might have to dismantle it a bit would like to keep things as simple as possible.

@@markomarten I don't think there would be an issue with vacuuming the dust but it's very fine and kind of stains what it gets on, which depending what vacuum you have may ruin the look of it.

@@EasyConsoleFixes ok thanks for that and your input. Most helpful advice.

Have you any way you could check the laser in another console, at least then you can rule out whether the fault is with the laser or the console.

@@EasyConsoleFixes sadly I do not. This was the second laser I ordered, but the first one didn't work at all.

@@lilklevenhagen You would be unlucky to have 2 lasers not work, Did they both arrive with the solder blob you have remove. The way the console plays blue games not silver is a bit strange, normally when a laser is dying the blue discs are the first to stop working. Was the ribbon cable and the connecter for the cable definitely ok.

So the second on that came did not have a solder blob on it and I just looked at the seller. A few of the ones they sold did not work. I ordered a new laser from another seller. The ribbon cable was all beat up but I replaced that as well. Let's hope this new laser works!

@@lilklevenhagen Please let me know if you get it sorted when the new laser arrives, you've been unlucky to get 2 that didn't work.

@@protocol3419 took mine like 4 days to a week

I have no idea, I only noticed the screen was starting to lift because I took it out of it's cover. I wouldn't like to let it fully lift as I would be afraid the ribbon cable would get damaged.

I did put some grease on the laser assembly, I do on nearly ever console if I'm doing a repair. I just didn't show it in the video.

You probably should have tried to try it out before restarting it, the best thing to do now is try dry it out as best you can before trying to restarting it again.

The bottom screen is a much easier repair than the top screen. You don't have the same issues of parts being glued together like you do when doing the top.

Did you use the gorilla glue after, it should just work but it's not really the right glue for this.

@@EasyConsoleFixes I ended up not using it bc I wasn't sure if it would work or not, and because I fell asleep

heyy did you tho and what happened

@@shweetaa didn't put it on yet, I'll try later today tho

@@bucket_animates0 okk pleaseeeeee update it i really need a solution to my phone n i really cant get another one

i don't think my parents are gonna help me with this (buying that glue) because i just told them about it just a bit ago and they said to just put some tape so..

@@IEatAtomicBombs2763 Tape will work as a temporary fix but you need to be careful as if the screen falls out it might damage the ribbon cable that goes to the screen.

I wouldn't put glue on any sensor, you just want a thin bead around the very edge, I made sure to stay away from the camera at the top as well.

You can bridge the connection and it will work, it does mean next time something goes wrong you wont have the protection of the fuse. What was the cause of your graphical glitches, it's not something I see very much on these consoles.

@@EasyConsoleFixes thanks for the reply. :) There's a series of chips between the GPU and the CPU (4 in a line on side A) one of them had no continuity so I soldered it over with some 30awg wire. Seemed to have fixed the problem. Tested it extensively before deciding to reassemble. As I did I felt a screw wasn't screwing in as it should and damaged/pinched one of the fan wires. I think that's how the fuse died. Still works without the fan. I hope my explanation makes sense. :/

That metal tab sometimes needs to be bent a little if its causing problems.

@@EasyConsoleFixes I'll keep that in mind. It seems like it works fine but it moves off the worm

Just cause you mention the case not fitting, make sure the battery hasn't started to swell pushing the back of the phone away. The battery would then be dangerous to charge. I absolutely agree with you about the transition to a new phone, it's such a pain. I once left a new phone sit in the box for 2 weeks cause I just didn't want to sort everything onto it.

@@EasyConsoleFixes I think that's what happened, yeah. Never had this with any other phone, but honestly, haven't had that many smartphones, and this one lasted a good long while. I hang onto them until something goes fatally wrong, and this qualifies. I'll go get a new one today. Dammit. Thanks for the advice.

I never installed one so I'm not sure but my understanding was they are soldered to the main board in the bottom half of the console. Changing the top screen would be the same as the video but you would have some extra connecters in the bottom half to undo.

@@EasyConsoleFixes I see. I definitely will feel I need to have an expert do it, at this point, cause last time I tried repairing something, I needed a new DualShock4. Thank you for telling me, though.

@@ThisIsCSDX This is a tricky repair and I know the consoles with the capture cards aren't cheap. It might be best to pay someone to do it if you're not confident.

@@EasyConsoleFixes Noted. Here's hoping I can find one. Mind you, the capture card feed shows up fine on my PC, but at the same time there are some games that'll require looking at both screens quickly and it's very disorienting trying to look at the screen on my PC and then the touch screen that's further from it than the top screen is. Thank you again, regardless of all that.

Yeah unfortunately if it's glitching it sounds like the ribbon cable to the screen is either damaged or has become loose.

I'm not sure what antenna you mean, can you give me the time in the video of what you are looking at.

Kids can't seem to help themselves, they are just drawn to put stuff inside PS4's

Glad the video was able to help, it's great to keep these old consoles running.

@@EasyConsoleFixes onimusha 1-4 never felt so good.

Usually the first sign of a laser dying is it will have trouble reading or completely stop playing the blue backed discs.

That is a shame, I wonder what is causing it not to work. I have had to do this twice more to the same Toner Box as it got full again and it has worked each time. Some people in the comments have said they needed to turn the printer off after resetting the box to get the message to go away.

Very kind of you to reply. I have been a witching on and off between each try with crossed fingers! I am going to look up how to reset printer. Hopefully find another TH-camr to show me. 😊

That cant really happen as the braid is inside the plastic post the screw goes into and has no entry way into the rest of the console. I do have another video showing how to use a thin cable tie instead of the braid if the braid coming into contact with components is a concern.
