[@kyixou]

What I do is take off the top cover, check if there is any dust. I still blow into my fan just in case. I don’t like taking off screws because I’m kinda scared ngl. At the bottom left of your PS4 there’s this place where you can slip a piece off. I also clean there, but be careful cleaning there. And with a little of hitting the back right of my PS4, it turns on. This is my 3rd time getting the blue light of death.

How does the hdmi change the blue light of death? Genuine question idk how it would work like that

[@Jayzoh666]

Exactly what I was thinking, if the ps5 can't even turn on properly theres nothing to connect to the tv I don't understand how that would be a factor

[@stefanwestall2096]

Simply because if there's a pin or a wire that's moved/frayed but still gets connection its signal won't be as strong. The PS4/5 will consider the connection to be weak and this causing it to turn on and off or just simply sit on a black screen.

[@2alien4earth2human4space]

Mine keeps saying it wasn't turned off properly. I do the double beep and it keeps saying to update 8.03 which I have installed at least 75 times and it keeps saying the same thing. I try to play fortnite and it keeps freezing lagging and the game keeps crashing. I try to move around the main menu and the system keeps freezing. Some days it turns on just fine others it works then crashes when I back out.

[@Cringey_Swine]

It's so ironic how I just got the PS5 for Christmas and when I tried to go back onto my PS4 to play with some friends I started experiencing the blue light of death issue yesterday with an added bootloop included. Earlier today when I tried to boot it up once again it just randomly wiped my entire hard drive and I didn't even press anything for that to happen and had to download all of my files from the cloud again onto my console. After the hard drive reset it still started doing it and I also checked the HDMI cord and power cord to make sure those were not bent but there appeared to be nothing wrong with them. I'm guessing that the motherboard got fried at this point but maybe the PS4 death clock is an actual thing after all.🤔

[@owenfletcher3733]

My PlayStation just makes 1 beep and the blue light comes on, and then it cuts off and there is no light, no beep, or anything. It’s as if it’s unplugged after that 1 beep. It also won’t go into the mode where you hold it down to put it whatever that mode is. There are no damaged cables and this was caused by my power going out in my apartment one day.

[@dailycontentcreatxor2898]

Same have u fixed it?

[@aznnp77]

@@dailycontentcreatxor2898 Yeah after watching several videos I found out that with the launch PS4 you can try the clamp fix where you take the top cover off, add some washers, and tighten the bolts. I was able to get one fixed like that. The second one already had been messed with. The thing you tighten has foam spacers and they were missing on the second unit. So that's a goner. I have that one up on ebay selling it for parts. It's not worth that much. But it's the cost of doing business. If it's for personal use, there's so many people selling them, just pick who you buy from carefully. With PS4s I have a much higher defect rate than with Xboxes. Between the dirty rollers on the disc drives, the HDMI ports, the dirty heatsink fans, I probably have a 15-20% defect rate on PS4s. The clamp fix doesn't work on PS4 slims or the Pros I don't think. You're out of luck if you have one of those. But most of the time the problem I have with the slims is the disc drive not taking.

What do u reckon because it literally just happened

[@aznnp77]

@@dailycontentcreatxor2898 I think you should just buy another one. The BLOD is extremely hard to fix if it's an APU chip. Check the apps. You can probably score one for around $150-200. Maybe less if you look hard and respond fast. Unless you live out in the boonies or something where it's not a big population center. Even on ebay the launch PS4 isn't selling for that much just set an alert for a buy it now between 120 and 200 I guess and pounce quickly if you get a good price.

Bro, I was troubleshooting this “broken” ps4 as a Christmas gift to a single mom and your screen resolution tip fixed the issue!

I tried installing the good HDD from other good condition PS4 and cables from the good too, and still no signal and blinking blue light.

My issue is... When I press the power button a blue light will light up for ONE second, beep, then power off. Screen on tv doesn't change. The blue light will appear again ONLY if I replug the outlet

Okay so I did resolution but I can’t even get mine to the blue screen it turns on with PlayStation sign then immediately goes to a black screen

I'm not home at the moment so I can't test anything, but just wanted to ask if the issue I'm having is the same sort of thing... The PlayStation hadn't been used in about 6 months before this. I plugged it in, all worked fine and was able to play a game on it, then I did all the updates it needed. Since then, whenever I plug everything in and turn on the PlayStation it comes up with a "checking storage space" message and the loading bar, finishes that, the PS logo comes on the screen and goes again, then I'm just stuck with a black screen. After a while either the PlayStation or the TV just turns off. I've tried just leaving it and I've tried holding the power button till it beeps and unplugging and plugging it back in. Nothing has worked so far and it does the exact same thing every time its starred now. While it's doing it there is a slowly pulsing on and off blue light. Help pleaseeee 😢

Mine won't go into safemode at all, that's when it does the blinking blue light, and black screen. If I just press the button, it comes up with a message 'cannot start ps4, hold power button for 1 second'

[@ghostpro6304]

It just shows PS4 logo and goes away and that's it

My PS4 recently started doing this😢. I have a PS5, but I can't go on the net really on PS5, plus my themes are on PS4.

If you clean it and never unplug it while the lights are flashing. Sometimes it will freeze so let the lights stop flashing after you reset it 2 x
