The Most Common Problems Of The Most Loved Console In The World

 

So, you’ve just bought a PS4. You’re excited about it, especially after playing Xbox One games on your PC for so long, but then you run into a problem. Perhaps your controller isn’t working properly and you can’t get it repaired. Or maybe something more serious has happened such as the hard drive failing. Whatever the issue, you need help fixing your PS4 problems.

If you are experiencing problems with your Playstation 4 console, then this article is for you. Not only will we show you the most common problems with your PS4, but also how to fix them, should you need to. We are going to tell you about everything from the blue light of death and HDMI Ports to overheating and freezing issues. Let’s take a look together!

What are the Common PS4 Repairs?

Some of the most commonly occurring PS4 faults include blinking lights, overheating, damaged or worn-out HDMI and USB ports, as well as malfunctioning hard drives. The so-called “Blue Line of Death” is one of the most serious problems reported by Mobile Store customers.

The Blue Light of Death:

The crippling blue light of death is seen when the video output consequently fails. The machine subsequently switches off. The cause can be from the power supply cable, hard drive, corroded solder joints or related to the PS4 logic board. It looks like a blinking blue light in the centre of the PS4 console. Instead of a solid colour, the blue LED strip flashes on and off.

How Do You Fix the Blue Light of Death?

This PS4 problem can indicate a host of hardware and also software problems, some of which are more worrying than others. Mobile Store certainly has great experience in resolving this PS4 issue and will diagnose the cause and can repair it in no time.

HDMI Port | USB Port Repair

Mobile Store can also repair ports, such as the HDMI or USB, which are no longer working. Furthermore, if the power supply isn’t operating as it should, we can certainly help restore it. A broken PS4 HDMI port is quite easily done due to the nature of the pins, which can easily get stuck and snap. Fixing the PS4 HDMI port repair is possible though by a professional with the correct tools and soldering skills. The cost to fix a PS4 HDMI port starts from £45 including installation. However other parts may be needed such as the HDMI encoder IC chip, which will increase costs.

The Red Line of Death

The PS4 sometimes shows what’s been called the “Red Line of Death.” This common PS4 problem sees the LED indicator light repeatedly flashing before the console closes down. In this state, the PS4 console is overheating and needs to be shut down and rested to cool. What’s more, make sure that the console is used on a hard, flat surface in a well-ventilated area. If this is a constant issue then the PS4 console could have a fan or thermal paste problem. A professional PS4 repair technician with the correct diagnostic equipment and tools can certainly remedy the red line of death error.

In addition, if the hard drive, logic board or fan need replacing, we can repair those as well. Our skilled technicians can resolve problems like damaged DualShock 4 controllers, PS Network connectivity issues, auto-ejecting discs, failure to eject discs, bricked consoles, and crashing and freezing.

Mobile Store also offers diagnostic tests prior to PS4 repairs to get to the root of the problem.
