PS4 Disc Drive No Power - Trying to Fix It!

I received a PS4 from a viewer (Thanks Andy!) who had taken it to a repair shop who tried to fix the disc drive but were not able to do so. The repair shop said it was a problem with the APU on the motherboard. I try to diagnose and repair the disc drive.

About This Video: Viewer Andy sent his PS4 in because the disc drive is not reading discs. He already had another shop try to fix it but it still isn't working. Now Steve at TronicsFix is going to see if he can fix it. Potential fixes include replacing a chip, replacing a fuse, and cleaning up some flux on a ribbon cable.
