The huge deal with this error code SU-42118-6 is related to a failed hardware check as mentioned before, but there's nothing wrong with the hardware itself. What happened is in my particular case, I was buying and mix matching electronics. ***Sony has a system installed where the Motherboard and the Blu Ray drive are married together and are checked to see if they match internally.*** So despite all of the hardware being OEM and perfectly fine, the DRM in the patch software checks for this, and stops you from succeeding.

So the only real solution is to buy used from someone who has a working PS4, if your PS4 is dead this is the end of the road short of turning in to Sony to have it fixed if they still do that now.
