Question PS4 disk drive fix

[ToxicMoofin]

So, a couple months ago I took my ps4 appart to do some cleaning and maintnence, but while doing so i tore one of the disk drive ribbin cables (the one with the nubs on both ends) the nub that tore off is in the slot for the cable and I dont know how i can remove said nub. I guess the nub is messing with how the ribbin cable sits and the PS4 sees it as malfunctioning, preventing me updating and playing online.


How would one remove the nub? Or if you have a way to update the system without replacing the drive or cables, ive tried to update via usb and the nets but no dice.

Sounds like you need a capable shop to solder a new connector onto the motherboard and get a new cable.

So theres no way to remoce the nub from out of the socket? Its just toast now lol?

I assumed you tried something small like sewing needle to get them out already without luck.
At this point you have nothing to lose so give it a go. Just do your best to not damage contacts/pins.
