How to fix this PS4

So, I used to have a PS4 with the following problem... I would turn it on and it would emit an infinite blue light (it never changed to white), but it would never turn off by itself unless I turned it off by pressing the power button for a few seconds... So, I decided to open it and noticed that the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth module was short-circuited. I removed the module and reassembled the console to see if that was the problem (I saw that at least the PS4 Fat worked without the module, although it wasn't possible to connect to Wi-Fi). Now, when I turn on the console, it still shows the blue light, but it beeps 3 times and turns off.

I've also tried turning it on without the hard drive, tested with different cables and different TVs, and the problem persists.

The PS4 never enters safe mode...

Can anyone help me?

So, all the capacitors on this Game Gear were recently replaced and it was working normally, including the screen.

Now, when I turned it back on, out of nowhere, the screen started malfunctioning completely again. It remains dark even after adjusting the contrast. However, the sound works normally (since the caps were replaced as I said) and the console no longer shuts down like it did before the recap...

Should I replace the screen? Something wrong with the recap? Thanks
