WOW me and both my brothers ps4’s have gotten this message. There is no way that this is broken i’ve got a new HDD about 3 months ago. I swear this is because of the new ps5.
Dude shoulda said that it’s for getting a new hard drive. I legit deconstructed my whole hard drive just for the dude to be like “ okay now we’re gonna put the new hard drive in “
you don’t understand how grate full i am. I was on the floor almost in tears when it said that then i watched your video and it works great. thank you so much and god bless you.❤️
I dropped my slim while it was in the original packaging as I came home from a late night at a friends house, and I didn’t set it back up until I woke up. When I did it wouldn’t load and I saw this vid and was WORRIED. I took the hard drive out like you showed and it was pretty dirty so I cleaned everything up really gently and connected the hard drive again and thank the lord everything was cool after that! I appreciate the video still cause i wouldn’t have know off top of how to access the hard drive or if I needed info to get a new one. Hope this helps a fellow worried gamer. 👋🏻🍺
Funny how most people got this error when the ps5 got released, r.i.p my ps4. Im switching to nintendo Edit: to all the people asking me if i was able to fix it- MY PS4 BROKE!!! it literally says I cant start it
Mine’s happened today. I came from work happy asl thinking im finna grind and unfortunately my console ain’t displaying nothing but a dark screen saying some bs 🤦🏾♂️
Hi men, thanks for the video, I just want to know if I can transfer my data of my ancient hard drive to the new one and if I can, shall I do it after the installation of the new hard drive or before ?
My Little Cousin Thought His PS4 was Actually Broken, He Almost Reselled His PS4 again, He called Me And I Saw This Video, I Had 4 Hard Drive’s So I Helped Him, Thanks For The Help Dude Respect You 🙏🙏
My ps4 that I got back in july had this issue. I only played it like 9 times. I tried this way, but it didnt work. Nothing worked. I had to send it into sony for a repair and instead of sending me my ps4 fixed, they sent me a pre owned ps4 in worse condition than mine. I got it yeaterday, not even 2 hours into using it, it got this issue already. I didnt want to try this again, but i gave it 1 more shot thanks to my friend encouraging me and it fixed it. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.
Thanks, did this and gave my PS4 a heart transplant I’m pretty much convinced $ony released a firmware up that bricked lots of older systems, in a effort to force upgrades 😳
All I did was take the left side of the PS4 off and push the screw by the hard drive in a little and it worked, I was so scared, I really hope u guys can fix y’all a PS4!
yay just waste more money on a 3rd internal hard drive that my ps4 pro will most likely also fry to death during a ps4 hard freeze when i try to just browse the store. Sony is pathetic for having such an unstable os, and store that is literally dangerous af to even try to open
Thank u soooo much my ps4 has been like this for 4 months all my friends have been playing and i havent and it got me upset and i thought my ps4 was broke forever but i saw this vid thank u so much u legend u are a great human being keep up ur great vids and keep chasing ur dreams
Or if your talking abt how to get out safe mode then hold the button on the front of your ps4 until you hear two clicks and when The PS4 turns on it should take you to an options menu try restartig it first option 1 and then go your way down
@@fasttechvideo so what you're saying is if I switch the hard rive there should be no hassle but what about if me and my friend switch around hard drives does that mean he now has the error access system storage??
, when I was plugging in my controller for charging. I accidentally pulled on the console and it fell on the hard-drive side. So when I start to restart my console. That message showed up, and I got worried. I watched your video to help me fix the console. So, I opened the L-shaped bar at the hard.

I just got a new ps4 2 hours before now and this is the first message that popped up. I had never had a ps4 before and I thought it got dropped in shipping. Thank you so much. All I had to do was blow on it and reinsert.
i just cleaned all the dust off of the sides of the ps4 and took the hard drive out and cleaned the dust from there and put the same hard drive in and it worked! when i opened the ps4 the colors were brighter and performance was better. so no need for a new hard drive. (unless its broken)

Crucial thing that I had to do: The file name must be only update without any numbers the download file (from today) adds a number 2 in the title that should be erased or it won't work
Fasttech I’m not very tech savvy. Is there a certain software I should use? Also, the hard drive has a kinda bubble look on the little disc for the hard drive, is that normal? Once I do clone it and install a new hard drive, do I just place my data on a file in the usb then just plug the usb into the ps4 slim and it transfers?
I searched this because I lost my cover for my hard drive and my ps4 slim fell and the hard drive poped out a little but I fixed it Thanks for the advice anyway nice video
@@fasttechvideo If you replace a motherboard then you need to replace the optic drive also, so technically is a new game console. PS 4 mainboard is paired with the optic drive, you cannot change one without the other.
All right... Quick question: If I log in with the account I had before, will I have to reinstall all the games? (I know it makes sense to be that way but I want to be sure), or even buy again the games that I got on ps store...?
Not really, as long as you clean out your PlayStation and let the items cool off, it should cut back on good as new like mine did.. and yes if you replace the hard drive you lose all physical data, only think you will have left us any online data.
Hi I get the same error but not that only happened when I hop on a game it crashes middle of it need help is it the hard drive because I just changed my power supply on amazon
I got a 1tb refurbished ps4 slim from gamestop. I thought they did maintenance on it but I have this problem. Should I try taking out the hard drive and put it back in?

Pls what if i dont have another hard drive
People saying “oMg tHaNk yOu UuUuUughhh 😫” like y’all do know you need to pay 50 or more dollars for a new hardrive right? 😆 it’s a lose either way
@@KidBlessings better than buying another ps4

@@taniksambo1969 swap out the hard drive, you will still be able to reinstall software and reinitialize the system

Fasttech I’m not very tech savvy. Is there a certain software I should use? Also, the hard drive has a kinda bubble look on the little disc for the hard drive, is that normal? Once I do clone it and install a new hard drive, do I just place my data on a file in the usb then just plug the usb into the ps4 slim and it transfers?
1 question when u replace the hard drive do u keep all the save data and games
Thanks for the video thought my game couldn’t be fixed

What if my harddrive doesnt have the 4 screws on the side and is just shaking around
That's the problem
@@franke.niegas9114 someone replaced it in the past and didn’t put the screws back in
I searched this because I lost my cover for my hard drive and my ps4 slim fell and the hard drive poped out a little but I fixed it
Thanks for the advice anyway nice video
NateReacts when your ps4 restarted did u have to sign in to your PS4 account or was it still saved on there
Youre welcome
Were yall getting backup hardrives
thank you so much, but how do you retrieve data form the old hard drive
can u do a CUH-1215A blue light repair pls😁🖒
You will need a motherboard replacement.
@@fasttechvideo If you replace a motherboard then you need to replace the optic drive also, so technically is a new game console.
PS 4 mainboard is paired with the optic drive, you cannot change one without the other.
are we supposed to replce the hard drive
packiy m I hope not ima just blow on it cuz the hard drive is $54.99
LOL
Bro I cant go to service menu I want to Initializing and lose all my data but I cant go to service menu
Watch my PS4 Safe Mode video. Good luck!
All right... Quick question: If I log in with the account I had before, will I have to reinstall all the games? (I know it makes sense to be that way but I want to be sure), or even buy again the games that I got on ps store...?
3 questions, 1 do I NEED a replacement 2 do I NEED a computer to fix it and 3 what about my games I don't wanna lose that data
I dont think you will lose your games data unless your account was hacked or banned if that’s not it then it probably was corrupted
Not really, as long as you clean out your PlayStation and let the items cool off, it should cut back on good as new like mine did.. and yes if you replace the hard drive you lose all physical data, only think you will have left us any online data.
Man thank you from the deepest part of my heart I finally make my PS4 back
Hi I get the same error but not that only happened when I hop on a game it crashes middle of it need help is it the hard drive because I just changed my power supply on amazon
This error is not caused by a bad power supply

@@fasttechvideobro the part where my hard goes into is rusty to think that’s the problem why it keeps on saying cannot access system storage
Thanks I figured out you dont need to replace it sometimes it knocks it self out of place I just took mine out and placed it back and it was good
Another channel showed to take it out and pop it back in before replacing it! Save a bunch of people money!
Where did y'all get a philip screw driver?,because I've been trying to get the hard drive out for days

I got a 1tb refurbished ps4 slim from gamestop. I thought they did maintenance on it but I have this problem. Should I try taking out the hard drive and put it back in?
