PS4 HDMI Video Output IC MN86471A

On the original PS4 (CUH-10XX and CUH-11XX), video reaches the HDMI port through Panasonic's MN86471A. It's an HDMI encoder that converts the console's internal video signal into HDMI, so if it fails, the PS4 may boot normally while the TV shows no signal.

This listing sells the Panasonic MN86471A HDMI video output IC in a 64-pin QFP package, described in the listing as genuine Panasonic stock.

Typical faults it fixes

• No signal or a black screen with a good cable and TV.

• Flickering or distorted video.

• HDMI audio loss.

• Damage after an HDMI surge or ESD.

Diagnosis and fitting

Check the HDMI port for bent pins and the nearby EMI filter coils for damage first, as the listing suggests. If those are fine, the encoder is the next suspect. It sits near the HDMI port. Remember that CUH-12XX boards use a different HDMI chip, so confirm the model number on the console label before ordering.

Remove the old chip with hot air, clean the pads, fit the new chip and check the pins under magnification. Then test video, audio and boot. A stable picture through a long gaming session confirms the fix.
