Yup. The one at the top of this thread was the original one. Another person brought in a PS4 from another house fire and gave it to me. Took it home, hooked it up, and it works!!! This one I'm gonna custom build (for the right buyer) and sell it. Not sure what to customize it to, yet. But...

Okay, I know this thread is fairly old, and I doubt anyone will notice this post, but I have been given ANOTHER fire damaged PS4. And it still works, as well! YAAAAY

Any luck anyone?

Has anyone found anywhere to get a new shell? I have been looking, but can't seem to find one.

I will probably steampunk it in a way that allows me to revert back to the original body style, just in case I want to switch it back. But for right now, I'll just steampunk it.

Okay, so I've already said that I want to start steampunking the console. I'd like some input. I already know that I want to raise the top of the console a couple of inches to add a top side heat sink and upgraded cooling system. I also plan on running a bit of a mirror system so when the...

I'll start on it this weekend. I'll post progress photos every once in a while.

Yeah, he was. I gave him the hyperlink to the photo (posted on this site) and he was pretty surprised at how it looks, even though it still runs. I was playing Thief last night. Horrible game, by the way. It's considered a freeworld game, but it really isn't. Not like Fable or Fallout. I...

You know what? That's an awesome idea. But I honestly have NO IDEA where to start to get ahold of a steampunk. I really love the idea. A steampunk PS4. I may actually give it a try myself. I work in an IT shop, so I have access to all kinds of materials.

Unfortunately, no. Sony still won't sell parts to me, even though I'm a manager at a Tech store. I'll just have to wait. I've been looking all over the interwebs. Still nothing.

Try uninstalling (deleting) the game, and then re-install it. PSN won't charge you for a second install. It sounds like your download just had one spot where a 1 and a 0 were switched. That's why you can't use R2. If it happens again, get ahold of Sony. I'm sure they'll help you, but I know...

A wooden case would be way too risky. If I put my PS4 in a wood case, it would burn within the first hour of me using it. You don't realize how hot those things get. I'll just wait for a modder to come out with a modded body.

Well, there's a really good reason for all the wireless trouble: Sony didn't exactly build the WiFi and BT antennas up to par. I actually disassembled mine and gave it a huge boost, so now I have an extra 300 feet of controller and wifi range. Not kidding. Brick walls don't help, but they...

Yeah, I didn't really expect them to let me just buy a body. I'm not a Sony Tech, so I can't just order one. I'll just keep it nice and cool and play it occasionally. I haven't really found any games that I want to play yet. I am a die-hard Xbox fan. When Watch Dogs comes out, I'll have a...

Unfortunately, they consider this an "act of God." Even if I had the PlayStation Protection Plan, they wouldn't fix it. They said even if I did and sent it in,they wouldn't even touch it. They would just turn right around and send it back to me. They actually SUGGESTED that I wait for a...

I'm on the phone with Sony right now. . . Fingers crossed!

Well, I know that. I just find it humorous that the thing melted - all but the bottom of the console, the Serial sticker, and the Warranty sticker.

I'm talking about the PS4. But as an IT Tech, I can tell you this: TRY not to drop the PS4 while it's on. The hard drive (if still spinning and the arm hasn't retracted) can be destroyed. Hard drives are exactly like old vinyl record players - only much smaller. So if the needle (which is...

Mine survived a house fire. It literally looks like it went to hell and back, and even survived a few falls - about 4 feet - but it still runs strong! The console is completely melted, but it's still good! Funny thing is, the warranty sticker and the serial sticker is still intact, no...

I certainly will! Are you looking for a modded body? I personally don't care if it's a mod body or not, I just want to keep the aerodynamics good so it won't burn up. You can literally cook an egg on this thing without the body. I accidentally rested my hand on it after playing Blackout 2...
