Replace the power supply. The roaches caused something to burn out. This is a very common problem with infested PS4's.

Can someone please tell me what Screwdriver you need to take off those bolts off on the ps4 and also I have the same problem all I want to do is open it to clean it and then send it to some one who can repair it. I’m curious , how much would a disk Repair and power supply cost for a fix just so I don’t get scammed for lots of money from the repair guy.

Replacing the disk in a PS4 is quite easy and can be cheap. Just the price of the drive actually. Maybe a screwdriver.

As for the screwdriver size etc. Check out the guides. Sony PlayStation 4

All guides explain which tools to use and what to look out for.

Also, if you find out your console is infested, USE GLOVES AND DISINFECT EVERYTHING.

I was watching YouTube on my PlayStation and I started to hear a sizzling noise in my ps4 and it had a burning smell. I unplugged it then plugged it back in. I turned it on and it made a loud pop noise.
