Use good flux and solder. Once the old chip is off... remove the led free stuff and "Tin" the board with good solder. Then, as you hat and it flows... good flux will keep it flowing... and the new chip will more or less center itself.
Compliments on your work! I appreciate your time. I wanted to ask you a question of it's possible.. I have a ps4 first gen.The problem consists in artifacts while gaming ! Om every game i play.. but in the menu is fine . I dont have disturbed image or artifacts! What could it be ? Could it be the HDMI port ?
It could be the port... but it could be the encoder chip or the cable. I would change the cable, and see what happens. If you are getting red lines/static.... it's probably the chip.
Hello sir, what’s the name of these filters of the IC. Wanted to check some datasheets but couldn’t find any. Also is it possible that my ps4 which is playing on 480p and be laggy on 1080p to have the same issue as the one on this video ? Wish you all the best, nice video !!
Do you offer mail in service? I have a PS4 that I tried to install an ESP32 chip internally. Now I can only get it to work after unplugging and draining power by holding the power button. It works fine on the first boot, but as soon as I shut down or reboot, the screen will flicker on and off and I can only hear some sounds every few seconds. The console is working, since I can move through the menu and shut the console off through the options by pressing the right button combo. When I unplug and drain the power it will work again on the first boot.
Could there be another issue to the no signal problem other than hdmi port and hdmi encoder ic chip? (How likely it's another issue other than this two?)
I wish I could use hot air on my board straight on my mat. Always bubbles up from the heat so have to use a board holder. What temp do you use for reinstallation with the leaded solder? I mix in leaded and use around 450 but may drop it down a bit more myself.
Hello friend, great video. I have a ps4 pro which I have tested the cable and it is fine, I have tested the connector by putting a connector at one end of the cable and checking continuity and values, I have measured the filters (coils) with voltage drop and they are fine, I have also checked the readings on the chip and I think it is also fine, however after all this my ps4 remains in white light and without being able to enter safe mode or anything and no signal. What I can do? Is there a scheme to test more components or what should I test now? The board is the nav001 , could you tell me what other values I can measure or compare the readings of the chip?
@@PghGameFix the pin of the panasonic on the lower left side gives me a different reading than the following 3 with which I have detected the problem, however I do not know if the panasonic is faulty or the error comes from another site. How could I know before replacing the chip?
Sort of. It would start to boot, and then shut down. But it was more than a few seconds. But the reason I didn't originally think this was the issue was... this console had melted spots on the shell from running so hot. It was also packed with dust, dirt and dog hair. I figured there was other board damage. I have found that if it shuts down after just a few seconds is it's either overheating... and may just need a cleaning with new thermal paste... or the hard drive has gone bad. On the overheating side... I have had a bunch of PS4's show up where the owners have opened them to clean them, and disturbed the original thermal paste. But since that paste was old, and hard... it no longer made a good thermal connection to the heatsink.
Oh man the ps4 you tested is not the ps4 that you fix you know why? Because the motherboard that you are working for its belongs to the ps4 ultimate player edition it has a diffrent hard carrier and its power button is clicky not touch its model os cuh-12xx but the console that you are testing in the end has a capacitive touch power button this model had a encoder its code is mn86471a and its model number cuh-10xx or cuh-11xx .. thanks for reading
I hate to ask being how old this video is but what do you do if you can't get the HDMI chip off I've tried and followed the video and even asked all over the internet but no matter what I just can't remove the chip from the motherboard I feel like im just damaging the board the more I try. I know its not a easy thing but I wanted to try and fix it myself but the more I try to do things in my own the more I think i fail and I know if i fail at this my mother will use it against me also... so yeah idk what to do anymore honestly im so lost 😔
If you know the chip is bad... just keep the heat focused on the chip. (But the board will take a lot of heat) I normally have my hot air station at 480c, and it takes a minute or so to get it to move with the factory solder. Also, make sure to use good flux to help everything to move.
I know that this is unrelated to the video, but I have been trying to join the Seadoo forum and I still haven't got the confirmation code. I sent the resend request a couple of times and checked my spam. Its been over 12 hours and was hoping you could help.
Hi sorry to bother you you but I have the same model ps4 that you worked on the CUH-1215A and it has the white light of death. I took it to my local video game store to have it looked at and get the hdmi port replaced and to run further diagnostics on it and they said that the hdmi port wasn’t the issue but it was more the issue of the hdmi chip. They couldn’t replace it because it wasn’t worth the time nor money. If you could get back to me with your take on things that would be great thank you.
Well... that's a tough one. I've had a few that I refused to replace the chip because the PS4 was VERY obviously overheated, and the APU was probably bad. So, in my opinion, on those, it was a waste of time and money to change the HDMI chip. But, if everything looks good, and clean... then I normally will try to change that chip. At the stage where I question it... I will leave it up to the owner if they want me to try it, and I will generally tell them it's going to be $65 regardless if it works after. With that said, your local shop either felt it wasn't going to help... or they just aren't comfortable changing that chip.
@@PghGameFix Alright is there some way I would be able to get ahold of you through a more direct line to possibly set up a transaction in hopefully getting mine fixed?
Hi, nice video. I have a ps4 with the same problems.... How can i say that the problems comes from the panasonic chip and not from the graphics card? Thanks
one Zener diode and a capacitor just behind the HDMI port were missing, did you install new ones or just left them as it is. Because on my ps4 just the Zener diode was missing and it stopped powering up. If I remove the capacitor as well do you think it will resolve the issue?
Most of the time, for thick boards, and lead free solder... I will push it up to 480c. It's a high temp, but it takes less time to get the parts off the board, and in turn... there is less soak. After it's clean, and I have 60/40 on the board... I turn it down to around 400.
The Chips can be bought from eBay or Amazon. I normally do take "Shipped in" work... but I would prefer to not take it from outside the USA. Shipping is slow, expensive, and there is too much chance for loss. Sorry,
Amazing work! Quick question. During a thunderstorm, we had a power surge and my ps4 and everything connected to that power outlet did a full restart. Ps4 won't display after. Keeps giving the "No signal" screen but I can hear it come on and function perfectly from my headset. I've tried other HDMIs, still the same. Also, the HDMI port in my TV that it was connected to when power surged doesn't work anymore. Do you think it's the encoder chip?
@@TeeFree6 yeah I did. Sent it to my repairer and he fixed it for approximately $20. I'm from and reside in Nigeria, I rounded up that figure so you can get the idea of how much you might spend if you're in the US. From my search online though, I read that it can cost up to 50 bucks but those article were from about 4 years ago. You should get it fixed way cheaper now.
Ha man i live in south Africa and i believe that that chip is broken on my ps4 I went to 5 different places and onlie one of them told me its that chip of the hdmi but thy did not fix it vor me I do not have the experience or equipment to fix it wher kan i go

Thank you so much 😀
Great job sir, helping others to solve issues, I too have a ps4 slim with wlod , will give a try. Thank you sir
Thanks for watching, and glad it helped.
How did it go?
Sorry for the late reply. I managed to fix it sir...... iC was the culprit in my case
I really struggle with these surface mounted chips. I'd rather do trace repairs then these. Still trying to learn a good technique for them.
Use good flux and solder. Once the old chip is off... remove the led free stuff and "Tin" the board with good solder. Then, as you hat and it flows... good flux will keep it flowing... and the new chip will more or less center itself.
@@PghGameFix I use amteck flux along with kestrel solder. I tried some hot air along with my iron today and it did the trick.
Is it needs tô be the same number sequence below?
Found the same chip based on the top number sequence, but the numbers below always is different.
Did not see you applying new solder to the pads on the board and then also did not see you tin the new ic with solder am I missing something?

@@project0332 If it's actual issues with the game graphics.... it could be the APU, if it's been badly over heated. Is your fan running full speed?

It’s the same one stop hating
What type of solder wire and flux do you use sir?
Kestler 44 (60/40) and Amtech 559
If I have red dots flickering on my screen it’s cause by the hdmi chip or the hdmi port and can i fix it
Red dots or lines are a sign that the chip is going bad. BUT... try a new cable. I've see a few cables cause issues like that.
My ps4 slim powers up and my monitor detects a 1080p signal, but it's nothing but a black screen! Bout time I try to change this chip out (:
If you know the HDMI cable is good... and the HDMI port is good... then there is a good chance that the encoder chip needs replaced.
@@PghGameFix thank you!
Kester 959t & 186 flux is a good one for this?
Should be fine. Just clean up after with alcohol.
How much it cost to replace that chip cause I have the same issue going on and hopefully I’ll get a happy ending lol

It's not easy to say where the issue is sometimes. But I Have come across very few bad video GPU's in the PS4.

They were replaced. They are needed to get the handshake on the HDMI cable. Unfortunately, I lost some video when I was recoding this one.
What settings do you have on your heat station?
I personally run 410 airflow 3.5
Can MN86471A be replaced with MN864729.?
TO be honest, I'm not sure. You would have to pull the spec sheet on both and check the data.
@@PghGameFix its just MN86471A is super expensive brand new
What temperature settings u use?
Mines only 450 max
