But if you have a lot of microsoldering experience and high quality tools and feel comfortable trying to fix your PS4 yourself we have a video on YouTube showing how to an HDMI repair on an PS4. A new system needs a new PS4 controller, and Sony obliges here –the controller that ships with the new PS4 Pro is the same one that will also ship with all PlayStation 4 Slim systems going forward.

We wouldn't say the PS4 Pro's design is a complete copy of the original PS4's, there are a lot of similarities – the first being the decision to keep the console a flat parallelogram.

This is the IC chip in the motherboard that processes the HDMI signal. When this chip burns out it will often cause the white light of death. Unfortunately, there is no good way to know if it's the chip that is bad. If the port looks good but you still get no signal and the white light of death then it could be the chip that is causing the problem. The only ways to know for sure is to have it professionally tested or to buy a working IC chip and replace the one on your PS4 to see if that fixes the problem. Another design difference is the silver PlayStation logo that sits in the center of the top surface, adding a nice touch of elegance. The PS4 Pro also uses a bulkier female connector on its power cable to draw more power, instead of the generic two-prong cable Sony has traditionally supplied with every PS4.

Can anyone confirm if the GPU in this Pro is actually a Radeon RX 480 put together with the Jaguar cores? If the indicator light only blinks white, or if the blue light does not transition to solid white, the console is frozen and needs troubleshooting.

While you can freely clean the fan, removing it—and other components—requires lots of (warranty-voiding) disassembly. Yes, but games will need to receive a PS4 Pro patch to enable these more detailed resolutions. We only point that last part out because it's up to game developers themselves to issue those patches and ultimately utilize the more powerful hardware. No PS4 Pro mode, no PS4 Pro performance.The non-proprietary hard drive is simple to access and upgrade/replace—and doing so will not void your warranty.
