ps4 turns on for a second, beeps 3 times then shuts off

My console was overheating so I tore it down and replaced the thermal paste (4ish year old console). The fan was running before, but clearly not well because the console shut off on me when I was playing a game. The inside is clean and free of dust, new thermal paste and pads have been applied. Put it back together and now I'm getting a single beep, fan kicks on, then it immediately beeps 3 times and shuts off.

I had the same issue after a clean out. I’d used regular heat sink compound (white colour)and after striping down again used a high-density silver heat sink compound (grey colour) and didn’t apply as much. Worked for me, don’t know if it was a fluke. Good luck

If the PS4 was left off for an extensively long time, the fan may be dusty. Try cleaning off the fan for the console and restarting it. Thank you!

i think i broke the lil part on the left side of the motherboard and i’m have the same problem, when i turn it on it’ll beep three times then turn off but it gives me a message that the console is too hot, way to fix it?

"First step: USE THERMAL PASTE

Mine just worked today after 1month of desperation of fixing . The Thermal toothpaste really surprised me in one application. While there are the blue/white light of death but mine is turn on and turn dead after 3 beeps. I cleaned it first time and the problem started happening. It was a bit trouble to find remedy for it like idk what really was the problem but it was just a simple thermal paste problem. So, I bought the thermal paste and i can hear the jet once again. Oh yeah, it fixed overheating as well."

"Deep clean, motherboard & battery out.

Plugged it in to play and BEEP, BEEP, BEEP. Fan kicks in, goes mad then shuts down (red light)…

Now what?! Noticed the thermal paste is old and flaky and hardly anything in it"
