Chosen Solution
I left the PS4 running with a game playing. A person in our household sees it and proceeds to unplug the power cord from the outlet (without exiting anything or turning off the PS4). Now I tried turning on the PS4 but it doesn’t respond, either through the controller or the power button. The power button literally doesn’t do anything; and if the PS4 is plugged in, the controller light blinks twice or thrice then stops as if it has turned on the PS4 already. (but when the PS4 is unplugged, it only keeps blinking) When I press the eject button, it only beeped once. I’ve tried various solutions around the internet such as holding the power button, replugging both power cord and HDMI, trying another outlet and power cord, and tilting it different ways. I was able to manually eject the disc inside, which causes the eject button to beep 3 times now. I’ve seen people say that it could be a power supply issue, so I went ahead and bought one online since the warranty is void already. After replacing the power supply, nothing changed. Still the same symptoms. Anyone here who can help me fix the PS4 or at least give me an indication as to what the problem could be?
Guys! I just had the same problem as you, the power button doesn’t do anything, the disc ejection beeps 3 times, and then I just took any game disc, shoved it in the tray and it started!
The 3 beeps usually have a specially indication of a problem in general, but Sony historically likes to just have 3 beeps be the generic “something is wrong” code, which really isn’t helpful. It sounds to me like the power supply being ripped out caused some unknown problem for it not turning on, but also caused a problem with the disc drive than can be replaced. If it can be turned on, replacing the disk drive isn’t a problem, but thats not helpful if it doesn’t turn on. My best advice would be to take a look at this page and toy around with it until someone more knowledgeable with the PS4 comes along Sony PlayStation 4 Repair P.S something might have gotten rattled or shorted with the motherboard, which becomes a whole other problem on it’s own, but I can’t think of any reason why that would happen. P.S.S If you ever have any problems with a PS3, come find me. there’s a lot of fun things to do with those
Ok, everybody I have this exact issue as well, so far im able to get the PlayStation on by inserting any disk into it. Mine comes on as normal but unfortunately im immediately met with the safe mode death loop. And im stuck here after trying almost every possible thing to get out. Let me know if this helps.
I simply put a game back into it and it turned on
Mine just did that I powercycled and it started working as for what could cause it if it doesn’t get moved around much and the top is dusty or dirty I recommend getting some compressed air and trying to blow all the dirt and dust away and out of it. If that doesn’t work take it to a repair place and see if they can clean the inside I have to take air to it at least once every 3 months so if you’ve never cleaned it I recommend getting it done. Could also help with slowness
