I already pointed out it has to be hardware issue because here is what I tried:

1. Completely reinstalled system software with USB stick on NEW HDD I had (so I also replaced the disk in the process)

2. Tried digital/cd version of games (both crashing randomly often few minutes after start but not at the same time just random, always within 10 minutes)

3. Tried with and without network connection

4. Tried logged in and signed off, in both states crashing

5. tried with tottaly clean and fresh system after installing software through USB on new HDD, NO GAME DATA ARE SAVED ON CONSOLE

All the internet tips are tottaly off me as most of them are regarding software issue or the ones I have already tried. Anyone was in my situation and managed to solve it?

I figured console might be overheating as this would make a lot of sense, however fan is working properly, so I am not sure how to eliminate this one.

I have the console dissasembled cleaned everything going for new thermal paste and we will see.

The motherboard model is an NVG-004.

It was suggested I try taking components from a PS4 slim, but the slim model’s components are larger than these, and I have yet to get access to a junk PS4 pro board.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 Video example of what's happening and it's noticeable about 5 seconds into it. It's much much worse in Siege and the rainbow glitch effect cover 99 percent of the screen. I've tried a factory reset, switching hdmi ports, different tv's, turning off and on hdr and even on rainbow six using the digital download version and none of that fixed the issue. Is it a gpu issue or? What's weird is the issue has persisted for a long time but only effects certain games (so far just this one and siege unless I forgot about one)

 And if you think that is playable, well, here is siege - ++https://streamable.com/bp078++

I was trying to clean my PS4 Pro and change the thermal paste while following some guides on the website.

When it came to the part of disconnecting my power supply, i use some plyers because the cable was stuck and i couldnt even wiggle it off.

Well, the full connector came of the board. Im attaching some pictures. Is there a way to fix this?

Thank you

After I did the thermal paste it did turn back on but got to the login screen and froze up completely. Since then it has only done the mentioned on then off.

I don't want to purchase a power supply if it will not fix this so is anyone confident in saying if this is a PSU issue or caused by my APU?

Thanks!

The USB port had either shrunk or the cable expanded. When I removed the USB cable, the port came with it. As in the plastic piece that covers the ports pins. When I tried to reconnect it not knowing what happened the pins got bent. I tried to fix them after I was told I wasn't covered.

Now year later I have two ports. But one is the external HDD the there is my TAC for mix and headphones. I miss the 3rd USB. If I connect the HDD to one USB and use the other for say a USB hub. Will this be better than fix it by the rear USB. Also does the PS4 have enough power for the port. Or do I need a powered hub?

Steering wheel, Camera, controllers and other devices. I have USB hubs with there own socket. But some devices need to be connected to the PS4.

I have a PS4 Pro NVB-003 motherboard whose Southbridge I replaced.

Long story short, some SMD components flew off during the reflow process, both from side A and from side B. I can clearly tell some areas that have missing smds but some pads were bare from the start. I recovered some caps but don't know where to resolder 'em(If they were are all the same cap value, then I know they go on the data bus lines entering the Southbridge).

Would anybody be so kind as to i) Confirm the missing components, and ii) bust out their multimeter on their own PS4 NVB 003 motherboard and show me the values of these components? I have them highlighted(and numbered in the attached photos.(Orange means missing for certain, while yellow means not sure if anything was there to begin with)

I hope this question helps more people who are searching for these values!

[EDIT: the spots are clearer on the photos now, I removed the yellow highlights, as they were indeed bare to begin with. The circled spots are capacitors, the squares resistors]

Here they are:

Side A

Side B

the behaviour is as follows,

when I switch on power from wall socket and try turn it on form the 1st time it gave me 3 beeps and turned off, when i tried to tun it on it gave a beep and went into safe mode. which ever option i try in safe mode it boots back to safe mode(loop). Tried update with pendrive and also full reinstall as well.
i read somewhere that power input issues, so I tried unplugging and put the adaptor in different socket. the things went further bad.
now i cant turn on my ps4 pro at all, power button stopped responding, i can’t turn on using my controller (tried both wired and wireless).
I was using a ssd, so I tried replacing with original HDD as well. same behaviour.

I thought my ps is dead, then suddenly i clicked on eject button and it gave 2 beeps saying no disk in bay. so i tried inserting a disk, and my ps4 pro started to boot and again it went into safe mode loop, like earlier.
So I am not sure what is the problem is, is it anything i can fix or hardware issue.
Any helps on how to proceed further is highly appreciated .
