That’s because you’ve given the rubber foot or other malfunctioning pieces time to cool off. Now, if this works, it’s probably only a temporary fix.

Sony has actually fixed this issue in a recent revision of the PlayStation 4 that drops the touch buttons in favor of power and eject buttons that are mechanical and require you to physically depress them.įor the old models, though, the sensitivity of the touch button meant that all it takes a little bit of rubber to activate the eject sequence. The central issue stems from just how sensitive that eject button is. Plus where they used to be attached there's now 5 tiny silver rectangles on the mobo (2 opposite 3), so I guess these 5 wires were some how adhered to those mobo rectangles by a conductive adhesive of some sort.Īny suggestion for the best repair method would be appreciated.Before we get into how to fix the problem, let’s explain some of the things that can cause this to happen. I'm thinking I've made a mistake is because now I cant see anywhere that I can 'plug' the 5 L shaped wires on the bottom of the plastic casing back onto the mobo. Although the pic looks like the plastic casing does come off the mobo as it's at an angle (maybe why I pulled the whole thing out or maybe I did it right).

I then noticed it looks like I've pulled the whole plastic white casing/plug holder (within the orange rectangle) off the mobo rather than just the plug from the casing. However when following the steps backwards I got to step 7 which says 'Remove the 5 wire plug attached from the power supply to the motherboard' & couldn't see how to reattach it. This was a great help after my 2 yr old put a coin in my PS4.
