PS4 Pro ACIN_DET Pad Missing – Need Alternate Point

Hi everyone,

I recently bought a PS4 Pro from a second-hand market at a cheap price. The seller mentioned that the 4-pin power connector was ripped off the motherboard during cleaning. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of not asking for a picture of the damaged area before buying.

When I received the console, I saw that the previous owner had already attempted a repair — and made things much worse. All the copper pads on both sides of the board where the 4-pin connector goes are completely gone. The surrounding area is also in rough shape from previous soldering attempts.

Thankfully, I’ve managed to find alternate solder points for 5VSB, GND, and ACDC_STBY nearby. However, ACIN_DET is the problem — the via it originally passed through is destroyed, and there’s absolutely nothing left to solder to on either side. It seems like the trace continues through an internal layer, and the via is too small and damaged to use.

Does anyone know of another point on the board where ACIN_DET can be accessed or jumped to? A test pad, resistor, or component pin — anything that carries the ACIN_DET signal would be a huge help. Photos or boardview guidance would be amazing.

Thanks in advance!
