The internal Power Supply Units or PSU has various components that can become faulty and too sensitive so they cut off during normal use. We have had PS4 consoles sent in after a power surge that has caused damage to the PSU too causing the PS4 to have power issues.
You may also see the PS4 power up and cut off just like the BLOD but with a difference - you cannot turn the console back on unless you unplug it and plug it back in. That is a sign the PSU has failed as opposed to the normal BLOD when you can turn it back on after 2 button presses.
How do we repair the PS4?
As with all repairs we first test the PS4 to confirm the fault. Once we establish that it is the PSU at fault we will dismantle the PS4 and swap the PSU. We then test the console before reassembling it. The PS4 is then taken to our saturation test bench where all consoles are tested for a minimum of 4 hours prior to dispatch.
