What a life saver. Was my only night off this week and the wife and kid had just gone to bed. Thought I was screwed, all I had to do was unplug the TV and plug back in! Thanks man
Turning off my monitor and unplugging it and plugging it back in worked. Thank you for getting straight to the point. Took me over an hour for something so simple Edit: it's doing it again, nvm
Bro it happened to me again I can't believe it.. you helped me fix it last time and it worked for about a week. Now I can't even get in to safe mode, strangely on either of my consoles (ps4 & ps4 pro). Dang.
I pressed the ps bottom on my controller but it never switch to the next screen and my controller just flashes white and then yellow has if it's charging
Yeah same here tv was fully operational with other channels as well showed black screen I thought it was my hdmi cable because my ps4 gets a little warm so I switched the side and everything and all I had to do was unplug the tv 😐
I have tried everything i tried , initizeing the ps4 i tried to rebuild the data base i tried to restore to default settings i tried to do the resolution but it wont pop up it jus stays black and turns its self off ?
It just goes straight back to the same problem after restarting to change resolution. Someone please help. *edit* this might help someone else so i'll put it here. But if you another tv that does work, go into settings under system i believe. There's an option for HDCP or something like that, un check it. Toggle it OFF and redo the safe mode start up and change resolution.
Bro I was literally ready to get rid of my ps4 and you saved it. Thank you my friend, you got yourself a new sub for sure. I can not believe unplugging my tv fixed the problem. Thanks again 😎
Had this issue myself. Quit working on Older TV with HDMI but would work on newer monitor. While plugged into newer monitor I went to: Settings > Sound and Screen > RGB settings > Set it to "Limited" > Then plugged back into older 1080p TV HDMI port > (RGB setting reset itself back to Automatic) and it had no more problems. Before I would get a flickering screen, snow, or no signal at all. Hope this helps.
Thank you for this video. I fought for two days, switching HDMI cables and ports. All it took was to unplug my TV and plug it back. I wish I would've looked you up sooner.
The logo shows up disappears, then turns back off again and I’ve tried changing the resolution initialize ps4.. and etc still didn’t help Also I have a ps4 slim which doesn’t have HDCP mode
I need help, I turn my PS4 on, it loads the PlayStation symbol on my tv then after about 10/15 secs it will disappear and my PS4 will automatically turn off after about a minute, it does this every time I turn it on, I honestly don’t know what to do, I’m no good when it comes to stuff like this, any one know how to help? I’d appreciate it. I did have problems yesterday with my PS4, it told me to connect a usb and update a file for reinstallation which I had to do and lost most of my stuff, then today when I tried to rebuild data base coz modern warfare is unplayable for me it ended up doing this to me (🔝) any one help please, thanks
This is happening to me right now, the same exact process, have you found a fix? I'm currently installing the update from the safe mode menu hopefully it'll work.
All these damn google searches and all these repair sites… i tried everything and within 30 seconds of this video i unplug my actual tv and boom working again 🤯 you are Goated my guy!
Hi @commentraitor9352, if this video didn't help you, check out this video instead it should contain a solution to your problem: ruclips.net/video/ft187gnOpa0/видео.html
Yo man I just wanted to tell you thank you so so so so so so much I thought my PS4 was finished broken All the Above. I tried everything that all these websites suggested nothing works I watched your video and followed your instructions on unplugging my TV and plugging it back in and my PS4 works better than ever now! Who would have ever known that I would have never thought unplug my tv and plug it back in so thank you you are a godsend keep doing what you're doing
You just saved me from bringing my PS4 to repairs or buying a new PS4. Thank you so very much! Didn't know about safe mode at all. Now I know, thank you👍🏻 I guess my PS4 just hung itself up trying to change from a high resolution to normal resolution after exiting a game🤦🏻♂️
I did change resolution but it just turns black after that, do you have a solution or anyone knows? I know it is not any cables. What happened was i connwcted my vr to my ps4 when suddenly i was 5 mins into game and suddenly turned black and this happened, plus it takes so long to turn off which is like 10+ seconds.
Unplugging the tv worked for me. Thank you so much, I was freaking out that I was going to miss the launch of Dawntrail because ps4 decided to take a dump right before, but your video saved me. Thank you!! ❤
My PS4 goes straight into black screen of death mode the moment I tap “OK” for video output resolution. I have never seen that screen option for Automatic. HELP PLEASE!
Hey so look my ps4 I just turned it on and nothing showed on my screen so I disconnected it and then it shows a black screen and I did everything even when I hold the ps4 button to here the 2 beeps and it still did nothing do you have any advice
I literally just plugged out the power that the TV and the PS4 was connected to and then powered it back on again and I’m back up and running.appreciate the video
Thank you so much for taking some time and uploading a video, you don’t realise it but a lot of people were ready to bin there PS4s! Once again thanks you saved my night!
Ok it did not work but basically when I turn it on it’s shows the ps4 logo then a black screen and the blue light keeps blinking and then eventually turns off
Sir! When i turn the ps4 ,it takes 1 min and half showing no signal ., when i shut down and start it, the screen goes fast and shows, any idea ? Elsewhere going safe mode, does not help
Wow, this was the weirdest ever, I was about to give up and it was pure luck that I found this! What fixed my issue after trying all kinds of safe modes and not having luck (with just a blank screen and what looked like a signal issue from my hdmi) was to just turn my actual tv off and on again! THANK YOU! 🙏
Bro I love you ong. I was having issues and none of the stuff I found anywhere was actually working and I had a feeling I should read the comments and turning my tv off and back on ACTUALLY WORKED. THANK YOU!!!!
this did not work for me if anyone has a suggestion I will take it .Here is what is happening It comes on and the ps that is white is in the middle then it goes black and just sits there then after like 3 min it turns off.😢😢Please help me
I need help. Just bought a used PS4 and it's turns on but nothing comes on to the screen except for no signal been wanting to play for a while any advice?
Bro my AOC monitor appears black screen (blank screen) and after some seconds it comes back (becomes normal) do you know what's the reason behind it is there any issue in my PS4 console or monitor please help me
I pressed resolution and it didn’t even go that far. All I can see is safe mode or the logo and by that point it just goes back to being a black screen. Any help?
I had this it turned out to be my TV as I turned the HDMI on the TV to HDR, as I had the PC connected too. The PC was used a few times, the resolution was odd. The PS4 worked a few times then the PS4 went black screen, I tried the safe mode and everything else to try, then I turned the HDMI on the to back to standard from enhanced (HDR) it came back right away. This TV is going soon. I've had enough
I can't thank you enough man. Last time this happened my ps4 wouldn't work for 6 months and I got scared it'd happen again. If angels don't exist then how are you here😂🔥
Congrats bro!! You earned a sub as well as a like will try my best to share as well. Keep rocking!! Edit: Just like maximum people here, The plugging and unplugging the TV worked for me :-)
Hi, trying to assist a friend with his ps4 slim. The console was working perfectly until one it refused to turn on. The blue light goes on and the white. Tried to go into safe mode but every time I try to press the ps button on the remote I see a rainbow screen and turns off on its own. Keep doing so. Can you direct me to what could be the reason? Thanks
