Chosen Solution
So I just picked up a PS4 for dirt cheap, the guy said the drive grinds and has a hard time ejecting discs. So I brought it home, opened the unit up was dusty as can be inside so I cleaned it out and cleaned the disc drive rollers - drive makes no noise and takes a random cd in and ejects it no issues. Now when I power the unit on I get the BLOD, No Video Signal on the screen. I tried a few things around the web about safe mode (no luck), unplugging and plugging the cable back in (no luck). Now what’s odd I was able to get the output to show 2-3 on the TV and it stays on as long as the unit is not powered off. I did try different HDMI cables. My fan spins up I can feel the air blowing up the rear, hard drive clicks on and works. However my issue appears to be the no video/signal. I checked the HDMI connection and from what I can tell it looks clear in there however the cable does not go all the way in as it should. Hoping to get some ideas on what could be the culprit and what course of actions should I take to fix this thing. Some also said to use some sort of washer fix below the power supply? Here is some images of the HDMI slot itself and how far the cable goes in.
Awesome you got picture. The next thing I’d try you are going to need the controller for and a USB drive. You’re gonna wanna go here https://www.playstation.com/en-us/suppor… and all the way at the bottom you’ll find info for reinstalling your software not just updating.
You’ll want to click the download now text follow it step by step. Then after you’re done plug in your usb drive and put the ps4 into safe mode to start reinstalling or reinitializing software. Let me know if this helps.
Hey! I know its an old post, but having the same same problem right now with a second hand PS4. Did you fix it? Would like to know so i can follow the same steps. Thanks.
