A possible FIX for a PS4 Pro WHITE LIGHT Fault

  • Опубликовано: 29 янв 2018
  • Hi, if your PS4 has seized up and is showing a pulsing white light like shown in the video then you may be able to fix it by simply holding down the power button until it fully shuts off. When it turns back on again it will think that you unplugged it from the power without shutting it down properly and will go through a safe start up procedure but then it should be back to normal.
    Many thanks Vince.

    This is my third Pro that goes through this, most recent i lucked iut and just had to hold the power button and the console turned off, left it off sor like 15 seconds and it booted up normal. I realized this happens more often if the console loses internet connection, like the console just doesn't know what to do if your connection drops suddenly.

      I got my PS4 slim last year. Now it has alot of problems booting up. I cant even fix it. It randomly shuts off even if I'm not playing a game or while I'm updating a game. It doesn't matter what I do.. ,.and the screen goes black but the white light stays on. It's been going like that for a week. I never had problems with it this bad before. It was working just fine 2 weeks ago. I'm probably gonna wait until I get an xbox and then wait until I get a PS5.

    I had the same issue but was able to resolve it. I turned on the PS4 and nothing would show on the TV. So I turned my controller on as well and noticed then when I moved the joystick I had audio as if I had options. If this is you this is what I did: first I swapped out my HDMI cord and inspected HDMI outlets to ensure the prongs we're not damaged. No results. My next attempt was to leave the PS4 and TV on and in white mode, then unplug your TV from the outlet. Wait a few seconds then plug it back in. Turn your TV back on and you should have video/audio. Then everything worked. I hope it works for you too!

    When it's turning on the light is blue, but when it's fully on, the light turns white and doesn't flicker, when the CD is inside it gives me a couple minutes until the screen goes dark and have to back to menu, if I try to shut it off it'll freeze and I have to force it off, it keeps persisting

    My PS4 Pro console was turning on with a blank screen, constant white light and changing the TV resolution to 576p. I tried changing the HDMI cable, switching to another HDMI port on the TV, PS4 hard reset and nothing worked.. I then disconnected all of the cables, unplugged the power cable from TV for 30 seconds and then reconnected everything before turning the PS4 back on and its now working, albeit with a constant white light still 🤷‍♂️

    Hey Vince, I wonder if you heard about Joy-Con wandering issue I have this for a while my left analog stick is going left for its own cleaning it with toothbrush or blowing through there helps for a while but it’s just a temporary solution. I couldn’t find anyone who has a proper solution for it. It reminds me the analog problem you fixed on your Wii U controller. If you can help I would be glad.

    • @Mymatevince
      @Mymatevince  6 лет назад

      Hey there, it hasn't happened to me so I have never looked into it. You can calibrate the analog sticks via the system settings but I don't think that will help with your issue. You can also get a cleaning spray that I think used to be used on the old tape cassettes that evaporates off so it is apparently safe to use on electronics which may help if for example dirt or a fizzy drink has gotten split on it. Do a google search for the spray but in the UK places like Maplins used to sell it. If going for the spray make sure to tap the sync button to turn the joycon off and do not move it otherwise it will turn on again and the spray may damage it if live.
