Chosen Solution
I bought a known “Broken” PS4 with the White Light (Damaged HDMI Port), It powered up fine with no signal. I replaced the HDMI Port and re-routed a pin when a pad was lifted during removal of the old port. When trying to test to see if the HDMI replacement was successful I get Nothing, No beeps or Lights. I’ve tested the PSU with a multi meter and i get 11.8v, I tore the console down and re-assembled several times just in case i missed anything. I even removed my replacement port in case there was a short with the soldering and tried without the port installed. Would the PS4 still light/beep without one? I’ve now ordered a replacement PSU just in case it is that. Is there anything else i can try? I’ll also add that when dissembling the console the first time that thermal paste did get on the transistors around the APU. I cleaned it with a toothbrush and alcohol. Could this be the issue? Appreciate any answers, Thanks.
check around the board to see if it looks like any components are missing and double check that the cable that comes from the psu is connected properly on both the psu and the motherboard
If there are any shorts, check for those. If there are, fix them!
