Power is very weak

I have a PS4 that, when you turn the power on, the lights turn on (White pulse) but the fans dont engage and the system never comes to life. Naturally this happened a week after my sony warranty expired. I'm going to test my hard drive by puting it in another machine, and my next thought would be to swap the power supply. At this point Id rather fix it myself since sending it off is so expensive. Any suggestions?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Are you sure the fan doesn't come on? Also, have you tried leaving it turned on like that for a like 10 minutes?

Usually you can hear them and I don't hear them. Yes I've tried unplugging it for a week

Just because you can't hear it doesn't mean it's not on. You can take the bottom cover off to physically see if the fan isn't spinning.

I wasn't asking if you've left it turned off. I was asking if you've left it turned ON for a long period of time.

I'll take the cover off tonight. No I haven't. I'll try that as well

I tried leaving it on for 30 min and it just sat and didnt do anything, The white light just slowly pulsed. I need to buy a special T9 to get the screws out.
