r/PS4Pro

Fb owner says the controller broke but it’s a ps4 pro for $50 should i cop?

I have a PS4 Pro CUH-7115b, and it won't even try to take a disk. If I do put one in manually, it won't read it either.

Things I have checked:

• Fuses F6201, F6202 good
• Switches on NLD-005 good
• All ribbon cables have full continuity

Anything else I should check before I replace the drive fully?

Edit: Problem is fixed now, charged the controller to see if that was the problem which in hindsight sounds super obvious, and it worked

Guys can you help me fix my ps4 pro the fan is slow asf even when playing demanding games like tlou and horizon the fan has been replaced and deep cleaned and also the thermal paste has been changed.

In short, my PlayStation 4 pro will often force itself into safe mode when I turn it on, giving me an error for the extended storage device I have connected, wanting it to be converted into exFAT. There's also an error telling me to reinstall the latest PS4 update via external stuff: (USB I believe) which I've done, and the error keeps coming back. It's always a toss up between extended storage or the update, what do I do?

It still can read sometimes when I insert and eject it about 4-5 times but restarting is a guaranteed detection. Anyone ran into similar problems? I'm thinking if I should comepletely replace the disc reader.

I want to buy ps4, I currently have enough money to buy the slim edition.

Will it be enough to run the following games or should I wait and save more to buy the pro.

List of games i want to play( i dont know if all the games are available on ps4 or not)

Red Dead Redemption 2

Elden Ring shadow of the erdtree

Sekiro shadow die twice

Dark Souls 3

Bloodborne

Armoured core 6

FC 26

Mortal Kombat 11

Marvel's Spider-Man

Shadow of the Colossus

The witcher 3

Horizon Zero Dawn

Ghost of Tsushima

Death Stranding

Ive been debating about this for quite some time now for a few reasons. First, I can't afford a PS5 due to it being over my budget, on top of that with the recent news and changes from Sony, I don't feel comfortable saving up and buying a PS5 in the future. Second, if I'm not going to buy a PS5 for those reasons then I want to upgrade the base PS4 that I own to a PS4 Pro, since it's cheaper nowadays and it looks like it's a boost from my PS4.

But, the base PS4 that I own is relatively new, and I was given it from my friend for free back in January. It's dusty on the inside and I haven't clean it yet, but overall it's in good condition and if I decide to buy a PS4 Pro, Ill give this one back to my friend. I have upgraded it by adding an external 1TB hard drive from a docking station that I bought awhile ago, connecting it to the PS4 so it can have more storage, and a bit more faster loading time.

I'm asking whether its worth moving in to the PS4 Pro for the improvements that it has, or I should still keep my base PS4 since it works as fine as it is, what should I do?

so i'm tryna clean my ps4 pro as well as change the thermal paste but can't for the life of me pull the power supply cable of, as though it's glued in there. it's so difficult to reach my fingertips in there and they simply don't have enough force to pull it out, i tried heaving it out slowly but no result I'm so frustrated rn and i need help.

Hey all,

My ps4 pro is about 5 years old now. Such a good device. Recently I have noticed that it is only reading Cds when it is stood vertically.

Any fixes for this? Should I open it myself and do something about it. I want it fixed so I can get it jailbroken soon (12.50)

Thanks in advance.
