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 “
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 🤦🏾♂️
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.❤️
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 😳
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
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!
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.
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. 👋🏻🍺
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)
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
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 🙏🙏
, 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. And I found out that, the hard drive disk was a little loose, and misaligned. I held on to the black strip and pulled it into place. And voila, restarted the PS4 and it works.
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.
Mine showed the error. I restarted it twice, updated the system software, and it worked fine. You don't have to buy anything when you see the error and panic buying the hardware set. It will work unless you have any physical damage during storage or water damage during storage. Also, thanks for giving information about the hardware that can be replaced. It is helpful.
i got this msg as well. all i did was take the hard drive out and clean the ports inside the ps4 as well as the hard drives with cleaning duster ... did the trick for me . didnt have to buy a new hard drive. thanks for the info i did not know where the hard drive was.
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??
ive found just removing the HD and blowing on it and the inside with a can of air works too! its not permanent but can hold me till an upgrade on my birthday in 2 monthw
Man I just took the hd out and blew some compressed air down in there and it started working again. Now I'm definitely backing everything up, had some sick ass video clips I thought I'd lost.
@@otsutsuki.7714 Yes. I just powered the ps4 down and removed the hd. I then blew air down in the hole and carefully wiped the hd contacts. Popped it back in and it worked.
@@guttagutta420 I tried it didn’t work but ima try it a again sometime but 1 more question after that it put you back on the blue PlayStation start screen?
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 ?
It’s not really the hardware that needs to be replace. Honestly I wish people would find some other alternatives but holding down the ps button until you hear a second beep will take you to safe mode once you’re there you want to press on number 5 rebuild database. This will insure you to have better performance speed and back to the traditional blue screen or any wallpaper you downloaded on your ps4. Hopes this helps
@@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.
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
@ do you process orders that are placed on weekends pretty fast on business days. I wanna order now before they go up. I just want it as fast as possible lol 😂
B4 y'all get a new hard drive jus pull yours out n stick it back in. Cleaned my system yesterday, plugged it in this morning n got that error code so I did that now its workin crisp
Jordan Shepard so what happend to my ps4 is it worked but the explanation that he gives isn’t the best for a good explanation go to this RUclips channel name altoelder
I punched my ps4 because it kept corrupting application and it was unplayable. Now I find out my rage was because the hard drive was causing all the damn problems
@@damien8949 Once i plugged it in it work and I was able to swapped over my storage to the external drive. It also allowed me to update the system. Get a USB Stick bro that works too
I literally did everything you said up til the put the new hard drive in .. I didn’t have another one so I put my old. One back In but it still work it didn’t restart or anything .. I got my all stuff back 💪🏿
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
I bought a new hardrive from the link & everything. Installed it just like you said & it has worked for maybe 2 or 3 days & now my PS4 is moving slow, games are freezing & i only have 3 games installed on a 1TB PS4. & I work all day just to come home & chill & play the game for an hour or 2. But I honestly feel as if i wasted my 40 dollars man. I definitely think im gonna become a xbox user after this. Its always something w/ sony. sheesh
Thank god I didn’t have to buy a new hard drive. I had this problem and just blew the dust away and it worked just fine and the bottom of my hard drive cage was a little burnt on the bottom so i probably do have to get one here soon. Thank for the video tho it definitely helped a lot. Wish you all the best.
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 literally just happened i turned the game off as it was restarting i held the ps button initially i was trying to turn it off but it didn’t and my game started right back up again ,hope this helps someone before buying a new hard drive👍🏾👍🏾
Bro same thing, my friend accidentally dropped it on its corner and the hard drive got a little jacked up, but I just needed to push it back in and it was fine. But my ps4s corner is little jacked up, could’ve been worse though
This is sooooooo bullshit. I bought a new HDD 4 months ago. And my brothers ps4 has this exact error at the same time as mine, this is for sure sony’s doing because of the ps5
nah i dont think so cus my ps4 pro fried its FIRST internal hd way before ps5 was announced. Im scared to buy a new hd because Im sure itll fry a 3rd time! just because ps4 freezes when i TRY to browse the store!
So shocked to see this error I bought a brand new seagate barracuda 2TB drive to upgrade, definitely wasn’t expecting the drive to fail so soon. Barely lasted 3 years.

Ive bought new hard drive and replaced it but still same problem. I bought a 500GB hard drive. Does anyone know how to fix that problem?
What if I’m getting the cannot start ps4 loop bc of update even after updating
Then buy the hard drive and it should work right after you switch the hard drive
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

Thanks for the video. Could this problem be only because of hard disk failure or is there a chance of motherboard or power supply failure
In very rare cases it could be because of a controller chip on the mainboard but never because of the power supply.
So if i buy a new hard drive will my storage, games data everything will be the same after or.....nah
no
No. This happened to me go to zadious tech on RUclips search up ur same question follow his instructions I promise you my game worked after

What happens to my storage on my other hard drive and how can I still play my games that I have and all my stuff on those games
The data is technically still there, you can clone it to a new HDD but only if the hard drive still boots using a PC
Thank you so much!!🙏🏻 You helped me fix my Ps4! Thanks so much
@@Andy-jn5fx you are welcome. Thanks for your comment 😊
Hey, this definitely help me fix my PS4. Thanks My Guy you definitely have yourself a new sub💯💪🏾
Did it restart your whole system? Like games , clips and messages?
@@itsyaboyl-b3871 no, eecerything was still on my system.
@@leek0double053 can you help me pls🥹🥹
@@leek0double053 do you have to add a usb stick? can i just buy a new hdd and hook it up and keep everything including data?
Guys i need help, does anyone know if ps4 and ps4 slim share same sata connector? (I mean the piece soldered to motherboard?)
wait if u do this then you sign back into your original account does it save it?
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.
Thanks for the video thought my game couldn’t be fixed
@@kobehall2091 you are welcome. I hope you liked and subscribed
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
Good low prices right now I’m gearing up to get 2
Indeed the prices are low for now, get them before they go back up
@ do you process orders that are placed on weekends pretty fast on business days. I wanna order now before they go up. I just want it as fast as possible lol 😂
@@8ballwitdastrap584 if you order on the weekend it leaves Monday
B4 y'all get a new hard drive jus pull yours out n stick it back in. Cleaned my system yesterday, plugged it in this morning n got that error code so I did that now its workin crisp
The procedure is tomorrow I got everything ready I hope this works
Did it work
What happened?
Chris Martinez watch this youtuber names altoeder for better explanation
Jordan Shepard so what happend to my ps4 is it worked but the explanation that he gives isn’t the best for a good explanation go to this RUclips channel name altoelder
Jordan Shepard it worked but for some reason for me it lags a lot and has weird delays and sometimes my screen turn black
I punched my ps4 because it kept corrupting application and it was unplayable. Now I find out my rage was because the hard drive was causing all the damn problems
My ps4 pro kept corrupting with the original hard drive and when i changed to a new better drive. Its just sony's crappy hardware and system software.
So there’s literally nothing I can do except buy a new hard drive edit: I threw my ps4 at the wall 😂
A Harddrive is 90$, new ps4 is like 400$. Its worth trying ‼️
@@currychapo but you gotta pay 90 plus turn into a mechanic to fix the dam issue it's so Dam stupid
@@687donny I bought the external one from gamestop and it worked, or you could get a USB Stick and use that as well.
@@currychapo how did you use a external hard drive for the system software?
@@damien8949 Once i plugged it in it work and I was able to swapped over my storage to the external drive. It also allowed me to update the system. Get a USB Stick bro that works too
I literally did everything you said up til the put the new hard drive in .. I didn’t have another one so I put my old. One back In but it still work it didn’t restart or anything .. I got my all stuff back 💪🏿

I bought a new hardrive from the link & everything. Installed it just like you said & it has worked for maybe 2 or 3 days & now my PS4 is moving slow, games are freezing & i only have 3 games installed on a 1TB PS4. & I work all day just to come home & chill & play the game for an hour or 2. But I honestly feel as if i wasted my 40 dollars man.
I definitely think im gonna become a xbox user after this. Its always something w/ sony. sheesh
@@dreforswah call the business line tomorrow with your order number and we will send you another one since it comes with a lifetime warranty

Thank god I didn’t have to buy a new hard drive. I had this problem and just blew the dust away and it worked just fine and the bottom of my hard drive cage was a little burnt on the bottom so i probably do have to get one here soon. Thank for the video tho it definitely helped a lot. Wish you all the best.

That's the problem
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
i Put the Harddrive out and cleaned it a bit, put the Harddrive in again, started my PS4 and it works again, Thank you for your help. #LEGIT #LIKED
you dont always have to buy a new Harddrive I guess
If I press no will it keep all my original data
Man thank you from the deepest part of my heart I finally make my PS4 back
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!
FastTech How do i leave safe mode if my ps4 power button is jammed or broken
Xyanni Fix it yet?
You need a computer do you have one?
This literally just happened i turned the game off as it was restarting i held the ps button initially i was trying to turn it off but it didn’t and my game started right back up again ,hope this helps someone before buying a new hard drive👍🏾👍🏾
can I do just the software without placing a new hard drive
If you are getting this error most likely you need to replace the hard drive.
It a new PS4 wtf is this dog shit pc here I come
Lol I looked at my hard drive and it was half unplug so I pushed it bk in and now its fixed so thanks man
You're welcome
I did that it didn't work in my pro :(
What do you mean it was half unplugged
Bro same thing, my friend accidentally dropped it on its corner and the hard drive got a little jacked up, but I just needed to push it back in and it was fine. But my ps4s corner is little jacked up, could’ve been worse though
But what if I forgot my password to my account :( (which I did)
Contact Sony customer support or try the ‘forgot my password’ option
Hey, which one do i use for my hard drive (i have the ps4 slim with the 3 game bundle) but which one the 1tb or the 2tb or 500 GB
You can use any one of these
@@fasttechvideo which one do you recommend for me to buy
@@skepticsnakey 1tb or 2tb
Can i just try removing my current and put it back in cause I can't afford a new
Yes try it, in some cases the hdd just need to be cleaned and reinserted.
This is sooooooo bullshit. I bought a new HDD 4 months ago. And my brothers ps4 has this exact error at the same time as mine, this is for sure sony’s doing because of the ps5
You should have bought the one in the link because the one you already had must have been an older version.
nah i dont think so cus my ps4 pro fried its FIRST internal hd way before ps5 was announced. Im scared to buy a new hd because Im sure itll fry a 3rd time! just because ps4 freezes when i TRY to browse the store!
This is happening to me like the 7th I have repaired for 20$ 7 times and this happened again idk what should I do
VARIOUS PLAYZ I fixed it by buying an Xbox lol
No worries repaired it again
That is because you have a failing hard drive and you don't want to replace it. Please backup your data before its too late!
Will the hard drive in the link work for a slim ps4 ?
Yes
Fasttech what about for a ps4 pro?
So shocked to see this error I bought a brand new seagate barracuda 2TB drive to upgrade, definitely wasn’t expecting the drive to fail so soon. Barely lasted 3 years.
Finally someone who doesn't waste time
Dude my ps4 is done for nth at all works im so pissed🤦🏽♂️
Same
Im gonna get a ps4 pro bro
Its so slow
