1 PS4 Will Not Power On After Taking Console Apart
About A year ago, I took my PS4 apart to change the thermal paste. While doing so, I knicked my wifi antenna.
When I put it back together, the system will not power on. I'm not sure if the wifi antenna being damaged, would prevent the console from powering on? Doesn't sound likely, but I'm not sure.
The only other thing I think, is the power supply possibly. The thing is though, the power supply was never an issue before I took it apart.
The console doesn't beep or light up when I attempt to power it on.
I've looked through the troubleshooting guides etc, and I can't seem to find where I went wrong.
Any help or suggesting would be appreciated!
Is this a good question?

Not going to provide this as an answer because I can't confirm, having only worked on the original PS4 and it's been a while, but on the big one, there's a daughter board for one of the buttons (can't recall which) that needed to be seated correctly for that button to work, and I had to take mine halfway apart to get it working right. Is it possible there's something like that in the slim, too?

@handycat your thinking of the eject button the power button on the ps4 original is on the main board, @xFatal. check that all ribbons are connected, there is a smaller 1 for the power button but before that have you tried inserting a disk which would also turn it on
