  • In this video, I take on a PS4 fat with no video output, AKA WLOD, AKA White Light of Death. The seller admitted he had worked on the console but was unable to repair it.

    What I like about you is that you don't edit out the soldering difficulties that come into play. Many do just to make themselves look better than they really are. For that reason I just subscribed. Keep up the good work.

    Genius!!! I just bought a ps4 for $88 that needs a "HDMI port replacement" according to the seller. i hope my fix goes smoothly. Wish me luck!

    Nice job! I replaced this damn qfn chip on the same model some days ago, tested on my bench LCD (an old Samsung 20" tv...) and worked fine. Now I got this PS4 back since works only on some monitors, tried different cables, tried different TV, tried switching off HDCP (on one LG TV this brought to audio only but no video). I guess I had to rework the qfn chip, or maybe was a faulty one (got from another board...)

    The sanding you thought was done with a fiberglass pen is actually due to running the soldering iron back and forth while trying to tin the sides of the qfn. I struggle with this all the time, and I've changed so many of them. I'd have thought I would have had it down by now 🤦🏾‍♂️

    • @ToltecMerc
      @ToltecMerc  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      For me what works is to place the chip with hot air and immediately start touching up the side contacts with my micro pencil while the board is still hot. The micro pencil is worthless after the board cools.

      If you have oxidized leads on chips, try clean them (and wet them with solder again) before soldering them onto the pcb.
      It's a bit extra work, but is it really in the long run?

    QFN chips are still something i struggle with, and ive been doing this for 5 years now... hard to make the solder run up the side of the chip without bridging 2 pins together

    • @ToltecMerc

      Even i struggle i think proper top quality tip, flux and solder will make it a breeze, though it's expensive investment for hobbyists like myself.

    That soldering Looks like a TH-cam Streamers earlier days of console repairing can't pin point if it's "TronixFix",
    or "Joey Does Tech" meh not important other than he did say he sold it with full transparency on it's servicing.
    Long story short after he replaced that chip there was no change in behaviour, and as I said he sold it providing
    the buyer with all the details as to what was done so far on the unit.

    Damn... I have 2 PS4 fat WLOD, no matter how hard I'm trying, I can't make some very nice solder bubble like you do on the motherboard and the encoder IC... Using flux and leaded solder too. And I keep having no video, so I don't know if the encoder is good or fake, because my soldering skill if completely off ^^'
    Anyway, I like your videos, so keep it up!

    • @ToltecMerc
      @ToltecMerc  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Pre-tin and use lots of flux. Gently press the chip down when the solder is liquid. The QFN is one of the hardest packages to install.

    10:30 is that 22ohms or 22K?
    Because i have a slim board with a faulty hmdi ic. The zener diode is faulty and has 'DJ' on it (24v sod-323) the resistor beside it measures 22ohms.
