How to Replace or Upgrade Your Hard Drive on PS4
Materials:
- Phillips head screwdriver
- Computer with internet access
- USB Flash Drive (1 GB minimum)
- 2.5 inch (internal type) serial ATA hard disc drive (HDD) (parallel ATA is not supported)
1. Go to playstation.com, and find the most recent system software. The current page for this is here: http://www.playstation.com/en-us/support/system-updates/ps4/. Scroll down and look for this section:
Download the 700-800 MB system recovery/new install software. The most recent download is this one, if you're having trouble finding it on your own.
There is no danger in your PS4 using the wrong
installation file as long as you downloaded it from playstation.com --
your system will notifiy you if it's the wrong install file (eg, an
upgrade or outdated install file). Do not download system software files
from any other websites, however!
2. Test your USB drive with your PS4 first. Make sure it plugs snugly
into one of the USB ports on your PS4 -- some drives are too fat and
can't be inserted all the way. If your drive works, move on to the next
step.
3. Plug your USB drive into your computer. You can use a PC or a Mac, but you have to make sure the USB flash drive is formatted as FAT or FAT32 to avoid issues. Most flash drives come preformatted and should be ready to go, but if you want to be sure note that erasing and formatting your drive only takes a few seconds and the system may return an error with other formats. On a PC, right-click the drive and select Format from the menu. On Mac, use Disk Utility and erase and reformat using MS DOS (FAT) and Master Boot Record scheme.
4. Move the system software download into the UPDATE folder. The file name is PS4UPDATE.PUP. If the filename is different (perhaps because you have multiple instances of update files on your computer), make sure to change it back to that name before you move on. Safely eject the USB flash drive. On Mac, hit the eject button next to your drive in Finder.
5. It's time to back up your PlayStation 4 game save data. You can either back up your saves to another (or the same) USB storage device, or if you've got PlayStation Plus, to the cloud. Either way, go to the Settings, Application Saved Data Management, and then select System Storage and copy your saved data to the USB Storage Device or to the cloud.
You are about to take out your old hard drive.
If you want to resell it or give it to someone else, remember that it
still contains all your user and save data. If that's a concern, make
sure to delete all the data after you create back-ups. You can do this
from your PS4 or via a computer.
6. Turn off your PS4. If the amber light is on, the system is
still in standby mode. Hold the off button until it turns off
completely. Then unplug the power cable and remove any other wires that
may get in the way of working on the system.
The entire left portion of the casing can be removed. It's not on rollers -- you can just lift it up and off once you've slid it to the left.
Remove the hard drive from its case and replace it with your new hard drive. Make sure the screw holes line up on all sides and use the screw driver to put everything back to gether.
11. Re-insert the hard drive caddy with your new hard drive into the PlayStation 4. Slide it in all the way and screw the engraved PlayStation screw back in. Replace the cover.
12. Reconnect the PlayStation 4 to your TV and plug the power chord back in.
13. Your PS4 has two USB ports on the front. Plug the USB Flash Drive into either port and the Dualshock 4 controller into the other one using your controller charge cable (or any other USB cable).
14. Hold the power button (the top of the two hidden buttons located in the "crack" between the two PS4 halves) down for 7 seconds to initiate safe mode.
Once the install completes, sign back into your PSN account and complete the initial setup. This includes time and date settings, internet/wifi setup, and some basic options. From here, you can restore your game installs from discs and your game saves from a USB stick or from the cloud.
Restoring game saves is done via the Setttings function screen. Select Application Saved Data Management, then select the source (USB or cloud) to restore each title's data. To reinstall games you downloaded from the PlayStation Store, simply head into the store application and access the Library option. You can pick and choose what games to redownload. Note that you sometimes have to dive into the "My DLC" section of each game to download DLC content you've previously installed.

How to replace a capacitor on a computer motherboard
Replacing a capacitor on a motherboard is a very
detailed process and takes a steady hand to achieve. Each capacitor is
attached to a motherboard very precisely, using solder. When you replace one, the same precision must be used or you risk permanent damage to your machine.
Locate the defective capacitor
Remove the damaged capacitor
Tip: If you run into any issues
melting the existing solder on the motherboard, try adding a little bit
of new solder, then heating them together.
Replace the old capacitor
After removing the bad capacitor, you must clean the
holes before you can put a new one in place. This is achieved by heating
the leftover solder in the holes and using a "solder sucker" to remove
any excess. When the holes are clean, you can proceed with installing a
new capacitor. There is a positive and a negative leg on each capacitor,
so you need to make sure you insert the legs through their
corresponding holes in the motherboard. The motherboard should have
markings to indicate which hole is positive and negative.
Tip: The positive leg, or terminal, is typically a little longer than the negative one.
Caution: Make sure the new solder DOES NOT TOUCH any of the existing solder at another junction point as this could cause circuits to cross and short out the motherboard.
