Best PS4 repair shops in Karachi

Best PS4 repair shops in Karachi?

Hi. This is my first thread outside of the marketplace.
Recently, my ps4 started to have the issue where, when turning it on, the ps4 would beep once and the blue light would come on. However, after a couple of seconds, (1-2 on average), the console would shut itself down. Removing all the attached cords and leaving it to sit for 5-10 mins and trying again would temporary fix the problem; for about 5 to 6 times of turning the ps4 on, until it would happen again. Now, the ps4 refuses to turn on, even after letting it sit for a while. It beeps, the blue light comes on and it shuts down, no matter what I do. I looked it up on the internet and did a check to see if the power supply was busted, but that wasn't the case.
My question is, if somebody can be so kind to tell me some shops or people who do ps4 repairs with some guarantee/warranty, have preferably cheaper prices and are trusted? The model is CUH-1115A, region All, purchased in Feb 2015. I opened it after the problem started to fix the eject button sensor and do some minor cleaning.
This ps4 has a bad history, with a slew of problems. It would sometimes auto eject games (fixed), ever since the latest update, any and all discs came up as "unrecognized disc" and the ps4 would rebuild database every time it was turned on.
Also, I apologize if a similar thread already exists and if somebody can guide me to it, that would be great. I tried finding one, but to no avail.

Sorry I can't help because thankfully my PS4 is still okay.

But I also have a CUH-1115A and I bought it the same time as you, I'm kinda scared.

In Sha Allah your ps4 wouldn't have any problems. I tried to take very good care of my ps4 but it constantly suffered from some problem or the other. Safe mood boot loop, auto ejecting discs, unrecognized discs, and now this, to name a few

Mine rarely says unrecognized discs, but on my cousins 1115A, the random disc ejecting happens a lot.
I was trying to go to sleep once at 4 AM, my eyes had just closed and I woke up to the sound of an ejecting disc and the PS4 just turned on itself. Scared the shit out of me.
So he unplugs the power cord every night to prevent any weird shit from happening.

But it does say unrecognized disc? How do you fix the problem if it does?
I managed to fix the random disc ejecting by 1) changing the area the ps4 was placed. First it was placed near the heavy duty stabilizer I used. So I moved it a farther away from that and put it on a glass table, and 2) I removed the rubber at the bottom and I noticed it was pressing into the base of the eject button. So I took it out and reinserted it, but also opened the ps4 and kinda messed with the eject button strip. The problem was fixed but I'm not sure what exactly fixed it, I guess both

Has it been exposed to frequent shutdowns like light went out,it happened to me because of shutdowns and then i initiallized my ps4 from safe mode menu and it didn't happened again

No, I have a very powerful ups, and a heavy duty stabilizer attached so it never turned off unexpectedly. I wish it would turn on just once so I could try that

I am having the exact same issue as you. I got my ps4 in feb 2014 though and the model is CUH 1001A.

First it stopped recognizing discs. I thought it was a bad disc drive, then I tried it in a few days again and this time PS4 started to download all the game updates and turned off itself. When I turn the power switch on it automatically tries to boot up with blue light for like 2 seconds and turns off again. Doesn't respond to the power button/eject button or dualshock 4.

Like you I thought its the PSU so I made a mistake and took it to Saddar and the guy told me its not the PSU but "something else". It seemed like he had no clue. In Karachi, there is Faizy from PG. He told me it would be a waste of time to try and have it repaired now that I have been to Saddar. So now.. I dont know what to do.

If I have to buy a new one, I would rather wait a few months and get Neo. But then again.. we dont even know if Neo is coming this year at all. No gaming for me for atleast a few months.

@Nightmare12
If you do get your PS4 fixed then kindly do share the details of the shop here.

It's terrible that so many people have the same problem
I took it to the guy who is at Game World; his name is Siraj. Siraj bhai said that he'll open it up, try to see what the problem is. But he called me soon as he opened it, or so he claims. He said that he can't pinpoint what's wrong but didn't want to mess with it that he might make things worse. He said it might be the APU (that a reball might fix), a busted power IC or maybe even a single capacitor. He said as a last ditch effort, I can give it to a guy in saddar who does fixes to basically, bring the console back to life. But then he said if you're going to give it him, know that either it'll be fixed, or youll get it back ruined. So I'm confused now
I'll be taking it to Jshaks employee, Arsalan on Friday to see if he can fix it. Might as well also show it to Faizy.
Also, yeah. The whole neo dilemma. If I can get it fixed for cheap, I might just get it done. Rumors are saying that the Neo releases in September so waiting till we get a definitive date would be the smartest move.
P.S why would it be a bad move to get it repaired after giving it to saddar?

Can you give my Faizys number? I'll be taking it to Jshaks employee, Arsalan on Friday to see if he can fix it. Might as well also show it to Faizy.

Probably because he thought the Saddar guy might have made things worse. He hasn't checked the console yet though. I will also contact Jshak soon. I'm also on the same boat.. if it can be repaired for cheap then I will do it, otherwise its a waste of money as it might reoccur over and over again. Might as well save that money for Neo (IDK whats taking Sony so long to even announce it).

IDK if I can share the number here. I will PM you the details of Faizy and his facebook page. Check your PM.

Exactly. While reballing is supposed to be a permanent solution, I don't know if people even do reballing here. The services on eBay and other websites offer a whole year warranty for any problem repaired

 

[Nightmare12]

I took it to Jshaks repair person today, he said it'll be useless getting it repaired but there is too much corrosion and rust, all over the ps4. He said you're looking at approximately 15k worth of repairs and even then, it might stop working again. So I decided not to get it done and wait for the Neo.

 

[mubashar4]

Yes jshak and his person are fair on what they claim.
