    Got a PS4 from a coworker that was blue lighting. He thought it was a bad HDMI port. He told me I could have it if I could get it working again. Well tried a new HDMI cable, put it into safe mode and then fixed the resolution. Works perfectly now! Thank you! I now have a free working PS4!

    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.

    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.🤔

    • @stefanwestall2096
      @stefanwestall2096 6 месяцев назад

      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.

Ps4 restarted went to ps4 symbol on my screen then it went black then after a few minutes it popped up. Took exactly 9 mins to go to the resolution settings.So yeah My experience. Let it sit awhile while on if nothing happens after you choose resolution. So glad I did not restore to factory settings. Thank you for this video.

    You're not going to believe this. Took it all apart, fan was packed pull of dust and blew it everything out with compressed air. Reassembled and still got blue light. Could not get to Safe Mode screen, no video at all. Unplugged it and waited 5 minutes, plugged back in about 10 times. Nope, one beep and then blue light. As a last resort I tried a different power cable and this time I heard the hard drive spin up and it worked! I can't believe that worked. Old cable looked perfect, so I am thinking the connector on the PS4 power supply is bad and this new cord just happened to make contact a little better. But thanks, it is on for now!

    I was deleting games data for games I finished and wanted to clear space for new games. After I did, my system started running slow until it from. I saw that and unplugged it. Now its not turning on, the light is blinking and the console is beeping. I have it unplugged and I figured I'd try it again in the morning.
    After fixing: I wanna thank you for the info. I was terrified I might of have bricked my system.

    I've had two PS4s with the flashing blue light of death and they both don't do anything. You can't put it into safe mode. If you keep holding the power button, the second beep just turns the thing off.

      @@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.

      @@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.

    It worked for me, all I did was put it in safe mode. had to do it couple times to see which option was best, but initialization is the best option coz it worked as normal as soon as I used that option (only do this if you don’t care about losing all your data) 👊🏾💯 took me about 20 mins

The PS4 logo shows on the screen but then goes black for a while. About a few minutes later I hear the main menu music (still black screen) and then error code pops up that says “the display is corrupted. The PS4 will restart” error code CE-41813-7

    Mine won't even go into safe mode! I feel like going outside and murdering a bunch of insects. I think the resolution is the problem, but I can't change the resolution if my screen stays blank. I'm revisiting. For some reason swapping my hdmi cables solved things. What I mean is I simply unplugged my hdmi cables and changed the hdmi slots they were plugged in. If it was hdmi 1 I plugged it in hdmi 2 and the one that was in hdmi 2 I put in hdmi 1 and everything was straight. But I am going to take all of my digital games off the system hard drive and place them on external just in case. I ordered another system as a back up just in case things still aren't straight. Can't be too careful. I managed to make this work without changing the resolution. I would still do it but I am too afraid that it might mess things up. Thank God for this because I have a lot of digital copies on my system and I don't have the internet in my home only on my phone, 50 gb of mobile Hotspot a month so to lose soo much would kill me not to mention 7 games waiting to be downloaded. I'm trying to go forward not backwards lol. At&t has got to do better because that's all they will let you get.
