Dude, I was literally standing on this PS4 cause another video said to, not to mention that was 23 hours ago, I have watched every video for about 8 hours (not kidding) and if this one didn't work I would've thrown it away! Never thought I'd have to change resolution! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
😮
Hahaha you too saw that standing on it 😂😂😂
My PS4 started doing that, the way I fixed it was by beating it with a hammer
That tends to work
No way
Wait really or is it a joke because I want mine to be fixed and if that works I need to do that so was this a jokr
I'm about to
I might just do that
I was super scared because i always see blue light of death videos in my feed and i just got that light today. Thank god it was a minor problem. Thanks!
Me too!
My shi broke
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!
Thats so awesome
Thanks mate. Changed resolution and it works fine now. Saved me a lot of grief. Cheers ✌🏻
Dude thank you. Screen resolution fixed my issue. Haven't used my ps4 in years because i couldn't find a solution and got frustrated.
The first one worked for me your a freaking hero man 😎
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.
Mine just started nothing on screen weird white light I swapped the hdmi with my switch but my switch worked fine can someone help me
This is my fourth time getting it
this is my 8th time getting it🤦🏽♂️
@@socialzz1218 this is at least like my 40th time i get it like every 3-5 days
@@darrelldaniels1134 this my 1st time how do you keep fixing your shyt ??
OMG!!!! This was an absolute life saver!!! I thought all my PS was toast!!! So this was awesome video!!! Thanks so much!!!!
Which worked for you?
Safe mode FTW! Thanks bro, appreciate the help!
Thanks chief. It was the resolution. I’ve had this problem 3 times now and didn’t know why it kept happening. Now I know.
Make sure your RBG range setting on sound & screen is set to automatic. Having it on full with out the proper screen will give you the blue light of death. Trust
I did this.. now what can i do?
Thank you for the help, i fixed my ps4 by updating the software and changing resolution to automatic. 👍👍👍👍
Mine didn't even give me resolution settings
While none of your suggestions worked for me, you introduced me to Safe Mode, and after trying out other options on there, I discovered I could re-download the new software update from there. Something bugged out during the installation before, which was what had caused my blue light of death. Reinstalled the update and it was back to working again!! THANK YOU!!!
I just took mine completely apart carefully cleaned everything put it all back together gave it good love smack near the power cable input and works great being 4 years old... now my year old limited days of play one is doing this.....
What tools did u use
@@kailluminatiii2999 I bought a tool set for fixing phones it has everything. Small Phillips and I believe a t9..that's the special one with hole.in the center. It seems harder than it is. Literally finished fixing my second one yesterday. Had to reformat the hard drive
Good luck
thank you realTakedown, step-by-step as you said, issue as BLOD can be fixed atleast on my side, thanks
Dude you are the best! Thank you for posting this video. Thank God it was just the HDMI cable for us!! Phew!!
New drinking game idea!! Take a shot every time you hear blue light of death 😂 Great video. Helped out a lot. Thanks man.
Dude THANK YOU!!! IT WORKED!!! I thought this was bullshit but it worked!!!! Thanks!!!!!! 🤙🤙🤙
I fixed it super easy, idk if it was just for me but when it was in the black screen I hold the power button for a couple seconds and it went back
Fixed my issue. Thank God. Thank you.
I’m 14 and my ps4 started to do the blue light blinking thing Thank you this helped very much
mine will show the ps4 logo and then go blank, i tried everything and it didn’t work so i guess it’s goodbye to the good ole console
Same
Same here, happened last night, had it for 8 years lol
@@Ry91415 same here 🤦🏾♂️💔
It happened to me like a year ago and I was able to fix it, but it just happened to me again and I forgot what I did to fix it :(
@@Ry91415 frfr just happened to me today
Just bought one a week ago brand new and this is now my issue ... Will try each step to see if this can be fixed ... Thx for the video
Replaced HDMI cable and power cable even though they looked undamaged... Problem solved thx again
@@Lrcdriftmafia
Does your ps4 was turning off randomly?
Was but this fixed it
Ps4's are notorious for overheating due to dust so try to blow everything out if still unresolved this may be your issue
When you got the blue light of death. What happened to your screen? Mine is just black and the blue light is blinking. Do you think changing the HDMI and power cable works?
@@maxitgcyou have a few options for a fault that could be the issue.. I'd say yeah change either your power wire and audio video hookup whether it be HDMI or the other and see if that solves an issue if not as I said before dust is one of the main contributors so try blowing it out before you go replacing the hard drive worst case scenario if you do deem that hard drive to be the fault. Then you replace update ect ect
As putting my ps4 in safe mode worked, but you failed to state that it can take over 20 attempts to put it in safe mode
You saved my PS4 Pro bro.. thank you to the maximum. I just had to change the resolution & boom, on like donkey kong.
How dix you get urs to turn on
Thanks bro it worked. I was literally like crying but it worked. I took all the cable plug out front the ps4 then plugged it back in and it turned on
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.🤔
thank you soo much bro. after rebuilding the database it worked. you saved my life lol
Funny thing as you’re explaining what the blue light of death is my PS4 just randomly Started working
Let me guess it stopped working again
Thanks for this one didn't know about this.
Glad to help
I love the way you talk. Makes me feel like I can get it done. I fixed my ps4 thanks lol
Its been a year but I just kept messing with the hdmi cable into each hdmi spot in my tv and just kept doing it until it eventually turned itself back on
Thank you good sir, if it wasn't for you I would have thought my ps 4 was a goner. It the first console I bought with my own money so it's very precious to me
When I turn on my PS4 it doesn’t sound like how it normally sounds when you turn it on; there’s a couple of click noises from the fan. 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
Where I live there are power glitches, which is what I suspect happened. The controller had flashing blue lights when I hit the power button. To fix it I held down the power button on the console until the screen came on and I hit the buttons to get where I wanted to.
I just had the blue light of death but I fixed it by taking off the cover of the pS4 and blowing all of the dust off, then I went into safe mode and did the steps in the safe mode part of the video. Hope it helps
Bro it will jus show the ps4 symbol and go black and nothing is working
Same thing happening to me, we’re you able to fix yours
@@pieizlyfe5384 how will I fix it this been going on for a month now
Me 4
@@khoppaboy same I still can’t get mine to work
@@pieizlyfe5384 did you get it to work
Thanks bro you got me feeling like like a mechanic
I did what he said which was "turn off everything and unplug everything and check for damage" and it worked DDD!!!!!!! Thanks for the advice;) the issue was cuz it didn't have internet and i went to put internet and it freezed and i kept pressing the button's and it just freezed so i restarted the whole thing and that happened. Thanks to this dude my whole day is solved 🙏😁
Hey man thanks for you video! I was able to resolve my issue with the resolution i sure thought i was in a sea of death and despair when i woke up this morning at 830am ready to twitch my day away.
Thanks I Subscribed to you channel this video was very helpful!!!!!
Thanks for this, I didn't even click about Safe Mode and sure enough it was a resolution issue.
I was ready to get super angery but now it seems to be working because I had the red ring of death on my Xbox 360 and it was unfixable no matter what we did and I was terrified but thanks so much
Omg thank you so much I put mine in safe mode and it actually worked!
Glad it helped
So my ps4 has a flashing blue light and the psn logo stays for about 1 minute then it works but then it turns off after 1 minute of working, also want to note that rest mode fully works and also I can't log into another guest account within the 1 minutes of the ps4 working just days an error, anyone know what the specific issue is?
Thank you so much for this! it really saved me and i couldn’t be any more grateful!!!
What did you use to fix your PlayStation?
need help I had the blue light it come on and went off and no it's not coming bk on any help please
I tried installing the good HDD from other good condition PS4 and cables from the good too, and still no signal and blinking blue light.
For anyone with this issue I changed the resolution nothing happened. I did a rebuild nothing happened. I tried to change resolution again. 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.
Bro you’re a fucking legend, it worked for me. Let’s go dog, send me ur cash app you deserve some money
@@westinhopkins9090 Good shit. I'm glad it worked bro. Just drink one for me, we even.
@@jamesmontana29 Bet, appreciate it brotha👍🏻 got my henny next to me
@@westinhopkins9090 bet. That ish pissed me off when it happened, I was heated.
So what should I exactly do? I tried the resolution thing and it restarted then went black? I don't know what to do from here
I'm having the original ps4 model and see that if i shut down normally then reboot everything comes up fine but after a few minutes everything dealing with a Bluetooth connection that is turned on turns off and won't reconnect until i either power back down or cut power the wrong way when it comes back up everything is in working order
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.
Ive rebuilt database, completely re initialized the whole damn thing. Started from scratch as if brand new ps4. Reinstalled cod and still dealing with this damn bs!!!
How does the hdmi change the blue light of death? Genuine question idk how it would work like that
Exactly what I was thinking, if the ps5 can't even turn on properly theres nothing to connect to the tv I don't understand how that would be a factor
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.
The why I fixed it is checking the hdmi, thank you man
Thank you my leval of anxiety this morning was something else 🙃, was ready to take p.s apart ain't even think to realign hard drive ,
Mine keeps saying it wasn't turned off properly. I do the double beep and it keeps saying to update 8.03 which I have installed at least 75 times and it keeps saying the same thing. I try to play fortnite and it keeps freezing lagging and the game keeps crashing. I try to move around the main menu and the system keeps freezing. Some days it turns on just fine others it works then crashes when I back out.
Wow wtf
I have the same shit you have men, i still have a black screen and a blue light
I'm having similar issues
Update: Uninstalled fortnite the system was working fine still a bit laggy. Reinstalled it got into the connecting for a match and it kicked me out saying the file was corrupted. Uninstalled reinstalled same thing. Reinstalled again game froze the entire system NOW I can't get past the log in screen now. It loads up freezes goes black and starts all over again without me touching anything. 😂 I have given up and plugged in the xbox. Its either another ps4 or fighting over the internet for a ps5 I refuse to reset the whole system I have my red dead 2 on there my sims 4 my goddamn Far Cry, Last of Us 2, Watch Dogs Legion yikes this is a nightmare!
@@2alien4earth2human4space PS4 PRO I just spoke with a local repair shop that I trust. Can't speak directly to your issues, but for my symptoms they were adamant that this was indicative of of Hard Drive failure and the HD needed to be replaced. I took mine in.
All I did was switch the hdmi cord plug ins and that worked out for me!
Thanks for the help dude was excited to play god of war so booted up then it wouldn’t work thought my ps4 was gone 😬
Bro, I was troubleshooting this “broken” ps4 as a Christmas gift to a single mom and your screen resolution tip fixed the issue!
Glad to hear!
Bruh my won’t turn on it blinking blue light but everything I tried won’t work like I tryed rebuilt the database everything it won’t turn on pls help 😞
I tried all the steps in safe mode and it just goes back to flashing on black screen
I THOUGHT MY PS4 WAS A GONER.

thanks bro
Thank you. This was helpful.
Glad it was helpful!

Hey can someone help me when I did the resolution and was waiting on the blue screen to press automatic settings the blue screen never popped up my ps4 just stayed on a black screen and just turned right off
i follow all the steps but safe mode doesn't show
There is suppose to be gold pins across each slot for the hdmi correct
Thanks so much. I had this happen to me before and had to buy a new ps4 and it happened just now and I got it working again because of this so thanks.
my ps4 would turn on and blink blue with a black screen but when i pull out the plug it starts up good as new but i have to re do this process every time it shuts off
What happens if u hold it it makes the second beep and the blue light turns off
My PlayStation is blinking and it shows the logo when I restart it. I can go into safe mode and restart it, but my TV gets no signal and the logo shows for a second and it goes back to no signal. What should I do?
This exact same thing is happening to me right now
Hey, I just spoke with a local shop that I trust. They were adamant that the logo flash is due to a hard drive failure and the HD must be replaced. Just took mine in.
@@williammontague84 did it work when u replaced ?
Same damn thing
Same thing
How can I turn my ps4 off when I can’t see the screen to turn it off? It’s just a black screen
None of these worked for me but I tried restarting my system while in safe mode then it asked me to update my system software and now it works thank you for pointing me in the right direction hope this helps others
Thank you, you saved my life
If you clean it and never unplug it while the lights are flashing. Sometimes it will freeze so let the lights stop flashing after you reset it 2 x
My PS4 beeps when I press the button but doesnt show a light to indicate it’s on so I press it again and it’s blinking blue and when ever I try to put it in safe mode it beeps twice then a clicking sound can be heard and my ps4 gets turned off. I’ve tried switching hdmi cords, I’ve checked the hard drive, I’ve tried many different hdmi inputs and nothing, it gets a black screen and turns off
We all hit our PlayStation because of rage. That’s y we here 😂😂
Mine just simply the power button will shine blue then turn off nothing will show on screen and it wont power on
my ps4 goes from black to blue screen, then repeats after a while it takes me to a report your problem but when I click back or report it goes back to a black screen.
My ps4 turning on, hearing the beep but the blue light is fading/blinking and nothing showing on TV!
I tried to hold the button for 7 secs and waited till it beeped twice but nothing happened it would turn off
Tried to take off TV table, PS cable etc..nothing worked
Unplugging it worked thx mate
I tried all options but the thing is the power button doesn't work out the blue I used the controller to actually turn on then it sends me to option screen but none of the options work for me
My PlayStation just makes 1 beep and the blue light comes on, and then it cuts off and there is no light, no beep, or anything. It’s as if it’s unplugged after that 1 beep. It also won’t go into the mode where you hold it down to put it whatever that mode is. There are no damaged cables and this was caused by my power going out in my apartment one day.
Me too
Did u fix it?
Clean ALL the dust then turn it on if it doesn’t work then replace the thermal paste and BOOM I had the same issue bro
@@fizzyracks6052 whats the thermal paste because that happend to mine due to rage i hit it
Yea i took mine apart, cleaned every thing replaced the thermal paste. And it still had the same promblems. I have another ps4 for parts, but im not sure what i need to replace, or check to see what caused it to go bad. Please help
When I go for the resolution the blue screen saying “change resolution “ does not pop up it just keeps blinking until it turns off
My ps controller is flashing light blue after a few hrs of gameplay then it completely stops working I have to rebuild database everything anyway to fix it
Damm bro 3 years ago and still helps me thanks bro❤❤
Glad to help
Mine just has an error has occurred screen after a software update and now it just blinks blue with a error message and I can’t do anything
Mine won't go into safemode at all, that's when it does the blinking blue light, and black screen. If I just press the button, it comes up with a message 'cannot start ps4, hold power button for 1 second'
My PS4 pro will flash blue and then the screen will still be black and the ps4 still remains to be on but won’t go to safe mode or turn off unless I unplug power cord , I already swapped cable
This happened to me can you give me an update on what you did??
Hi, did you guys ever found out how to fix this, cos I am experiencing same issue with my ps4
When i hold the button down and on the second beep it doesn’t go to safe mode it just completely turns off again
Thanks 😊, it really helped me
Mine wont go into safe mode it turns on beeps but blank screen and blue flasging light and when go to hold the power button to turn off it does nothing dont turn off or beep
just happen to me, i tried restarting, checking the wires, tried putting it on safe mode and it wouldnt show it
Thank you thought my ps4 was done for used your video to fix it thank you so much
I have a question plz any respond now I have my ps4 for about 4 years but recently when I turn it off it starts blinking and it doesn't go on when I take of the power cable and get it in again it works is there any fix?
Tried to restore the factory settings, it turns blue for a second then turns white and says checking the system storage status. Afterwards it restarts with the blue light flashing gets to the ps logo (sometiimes) and stays blank while still flashing the blue light. Wtf?
what if it wont go into safe mode? i have one here that has no display and keeps flashing blue, ive tried the cables and hdd from another one and it still will not give a second beep. if it does a second beep it is the turning off beep and it stays off afterwards
My Ps4 controllers steadily flashing white an my screen freezes , why is this happening. I've had the best luck at just unplugging it an restarting the system but few hrs later the problem happens again
I've done everything u said and got the hard drive replaced and took it to someone to fix it he didn't know what was wrong with it
In my case a lightning struck dowb here where i live, and now my PS4 is only beeping with a blue light and not turning on, is flashing and nothing happens...
After a while, i hear 2 beeps and the led goes white.I've got this all of a sudden, can you hep me figuring it out? ._.
The annoyng part is that i'm ubemployed for so long like 10 months looking a job and nothing. Also, only have money for bus passage, that i'm sparing to go to interviews
