Hi everyone, I was replacing my thermal paste in my PS4 and I was able to do that just fine. HOWEVER, during the part where you need to disconnect the power supply connector from the power supply (and I was told to be careful with it as to not rip it off the motherboard) it was kind of stuck. I wiggled it back and forth for quite some time before finally pulling it out. When I try to insert it back in, it’s SUPER lose. Like it seems to fit in just fine but it can be pulled out very easily (especially compared to how tight it was before). When I plug the console in, it no longer powers up. Any ideas on what I should do? New power supply? Update (03/05/2022) Pictures of the problem
You’ve pulled the plastic jack of the socket from the pins of the connector. If you can’t solder a new connecter on, get a new power supply.
