Chosen Solution
I bought a used PS4 and apparently it is a kiosk console and the guy refuses to give my money back. If I change out the mother board will the playstation work like normal?
I wouldn’t think you’d need to change out the mother board, I think a new Hard Drive would suffice. I don’t know how much you paid, but this could be an opportunity to upgrade to an SSD. Follow the below steps to setup the new drive to use for ps4, Using a PC or Mac, create a folder named “PS4” on a USB drive formatted as FAT32. Inside that folder, create another folder named “UPDATE”.Visit the PS4 system software update page and select the “Reinstall system software” section. Download the installation file and save it in the “UPDATE” folder. Save the file as “PS4UPDATE.PUP”.Plug the USB drive containing the installation file into the PS4 console.Start the PS4 console in Safe Mode: press and hold the power button, releasing after the second beep.Select Safe Mode option 7: Initialize PS4 (Reinstall System Software).Select Update from USB Storage Device > OK. If your PS4 console does not recognize the update file, check that the folder names and file name are correct. Enter the folder names and file name using uppercase letters.
Disconnect Internet Press L1 + L2 + R1 + R2 + UP + OPTION for 15 seconds to enter “Staff Mode”. Go to the menu of the PS4. Launch the exploit. Go to the Debug Setting. Turn Off IDU Mode.
You need to enter the debug setting, if you are on 7.02 or lower firmware you are lucky you can make it otherwise u have to wait
