I Reballed the PS4 APU… Nothing Changed Part 1
This PS4 Slim came in with a classic pulsating blue light — no Safe Mode, no display, nothing.
Most people would immediately call this BLOD… and jump straight to reballing the APU.
So that’s exactly what I did.
Full teardown, full reball, everything done properly… and the result?
Absolutely nothing changed.
Same blue light. Same behavior. Still completely dead.
At this point, we’re no longer dealing with a “typical” BLOD case — this console has a deeper problem, and reballing clearly wasn’t the answer.
In this video, I’ll walk you through:
• Initial diagnosis
• Power rail checks
• Board inspection
• The full APU reball process
This is Part 1 of a deeper repair series — in the next part, we go beyond the obvious and track down the real cause.
If you’re into real console repair (not just quick fixes), this one is going to get interesting.
