Understanding the PS4 Blue Light of Death (BLOD)
July 25, 2024Technical Team
The BLOD was infamous in the early PS4 days. Heat-cycling causes the microscopic solder balls beneath the main APU processor to crack, breaking the connection to the motherboard.
While re-flowing (applying heat) offers a temporary fix, genuine repair requires BGA Reballing—lifting the chip, applying new leaded solder balls, and reattaching it. Contact us for motherboard-level diagnostics.
