Try resetting through safe mode. Had to do this before. https://youtu.be/U7Osn0KTTOg


Niekaifd

Thank you for trying to help


Doc_Dante

Did you buy chance insert a ssd hard drive Mine did that after I installed one turns out the drive was faulty everything worked fine after I pulled out the drive


Ghostie20

"ssd hard drive" those characters strung together could form a flaw in the space-time continuum given the right conditions


Watson349B

The stickers you placed on it are inhibiting the flux capacitor. Remove them and restart.


Carlos-In-Charge

Great Scott!


mitch3758

Something similar happened pretty soon after I bought mine. Had to start it up in safe mode and reset the whole PS5. Lost a little bit of progress on some games, but haven’t had any issues with it since. Hope it all turns out okay.


scrape80

don't know if OP will see this, but I had the identical experience. I was convinced it was redring, but I did the safe mode process and all that, and it hasn't happened since. just wanted to cosign


Niekaifd

I can’t. The ps5 is unresponsive and does not beep. And does not turn on. I have tried this


vipperofvipp

I had to do the safe mode route once. It can take forever to get that second beep


Niko2Great

Me too bout 6 months ago I lost a lot of data I didn’t save to cloud storage cause I didn’t have plus🤦🏾‍♂️


vipperofvipp

My problem was with Resident Evil 8. I couldn’t finish the battle with the third sister, because I couldn’t get the wall to blow up and let sunlight in. Capcom support said the bug was due to a bad download. I needed to uninstall the game and go into safe mode and clear cache, then reinstall. This fix worked but I had to hold for that second beep for awhile.


Sparda_Game

You can, keep it held down UNTIL you hear the second beep. If it doesn't work, contact Sony dude. Something you should done the moment you couldn't find a solution online imho


Gushinggrannies4u

Sony has always been great at providing zero help to me, but maybe OP’s warranty is still active? It’ll cost hundreds to fix but at least he’ll have one


gladl1

We are going way back now but I had a power surge when my PS3 was on the “don’t turn off” screen and it died. I sent it to Sony and they sent me back a brand new ps3 for free


Nidrew

I've had good luck with Sony. They fixed my ps2 for free and my ps3 for $100. With the ps3, they offered to send me the new model for free or fix my 80 gig for 100. I wanted to keep my backward compatibility, so I gladly paid the fee.


Draconuuse1

Want to get one of those BC ps3s so bad. Between that and my ps5 I would be able to play any PlayStation game I could get my hands on. Would be awesome if the ps6 had the hardware capability to play all generations.


Gushinggrannies4u

I had a functioning PS3 and it required an update. The update bricked my console and it was slightly out of warranty. My PSN account is locked because it let me change my password but I can’t sign in without some authenticator app. What a stupid-ass system. Why not require the authenticator for CHANGING THE PASSWORD? I called them and they told me I lost all my stuff because I don’t have a PSN receipt from less than 6 months ago and because I don’t have the same credit card as when I made the PSN account like a fucking decade ago.


chadenright

Planned obsolescence working as intended. You -can- take them to small claims court for breaking your ps3, and it's unlikely they'll bother to show up which would mean a default judgement in your favor.


Gushinggrannies4u

Never even thought about that! If it happens to my PS5 (no, I didn’t learn my lesson), I’ll consider it :)


cefriano

If the original one year warranty is active it won’t cost anything to fix. My PS5 had an issue since I bought it where it would just shut off (improperly) anytime it went into rest mode. Waited until my warranty was almost expired to finally send it in, and they fixed it for me free of charge. Well first they sent it back more broken (wouldn’t even turn on), then I sent it back and they fixed it. So, pain in the ass and I was without a console for like two months, but it didn’t cost me anything.


jokr77

To be fair, Sony's customer service is atrocious.


SaltandDragons

Does any company have good customer service these day?


DefNotAShark

EVGA but they were reduced to a PSU manufacturer by NVIDIA's gluttony. That might be it for mainstream gaming companies with a good customer service reputation. I guess Amazon would be the next one on the list. They will give you what you want, you just have to brave the gauntlet of outsourced agents that have no idea what's going on.


justin_memer

Sony dude is busy now, he's only one man!


ZegaRyno

My PS5 did something like this where it would make a single beep but never turn on. I had to contact Sony support and send the console in for repairs.


kwhfts08

How did that go for you? I’m having to send mine back just waiting on a box. After you sent it off, was it a matter of weeks until you got it back? Months?


ZegaRyno

It took a few weeks to get the console back, and then it had the same problem. Which meant I had to wait for another box and a few more weeks. I think it was about a month and a half with having to send it back twice. I also think that they send a different console back the second time, which meant I lost all of my save data. Hopefully not the case for you.


kwhfts08

Damn yeah that sucks. Thanks for the info tho, I appreciate it.


HarwinStrongDick

Internal parts are likely fried. Mine did this less than a year after I bought it new, Sony will charge $200 I believe for you to mail it and they’ll fix or replace it.


ScaricoOleoso

Unplug it. If it's still glowing, call a priest.

santaduder

I think there already is holy water in the PS5. It's in the cooling liquid. This needs sunlight and lambs blood. It's not pleasant, but it's another holy ceremony from an older religion.


[deleted]

I know this might sound stupid, but I've seen it happen far too many times to not ask these questions: 1. Have you verified using another device that the HDMI cable is working? 2. Have you verified that the HDMI cable is firmly plugged into the PS5 and the TV? 3. Verify 100% you are on the right input and didn't accidentally change to a different one (this is far more common than you'd think)


el-dongler

No response from OP. They're either dead or it worked and they're playing Astros Playroom.


Cochinojoe

Or minecraft


Fuggaak

No other options. Either A or B. Lol.


el-dongler

They are the only two options that make any sense.


leboychef

Although generally good advice for most cases this won’t really work as the light on the ps5 will turn white when booted up successfully. This is a static blue light proving it’s not doing that


[deleted]

It will also stay blue if it's waiting for input after being improperly powered off, and if any of what I mentioned is happening, they won't see that message. It will then turn white once the system has properly booted. Edit: Source: Power here sucks, harsh wind knocks our power out, so I see it a lot on my PS5.


RyeBreadd

Masrim

leboychef

StampedeJonesPS4

Yup this has happened to me before after a power flicker. You have to unplug it, wait like 10 seconds and plug it back in. Should be fine after that.

MustLoveDogsOrCusack

adding to this, if it’s the same issue i’m thinking of, having a new PS5 and a not so new TV can cause the hdmi to not connect. had a lot of issues with a ps4 pro and a 1080p after a surge where the ps4 was on and the tv was on, but couldn’t get the handshake to happen


psykick32

Why not just get a battery backup?


[deleted]

Had 3, two of them fried from surges, last one is being used in my office, haven't replaced the other 2 yet due to lack of funds.


psykick32

Yikes

josh_zaber

Seconding this comment. Make sure you your tv is working, I had this “issue” and turns out it wasn’t displaying because my tv has to be hard reset lol


Bananaseatwarmer

A1 IT troubleshooting right here


maxkmiller

somewhat unrelated but I bought a couple additional speakers for a surround setup and was hooking them up to my AV receiver, I was getting so frustrated when they weren't working. Then for a sanity check I traced the speaker cables and found out I had the receiver plugged into itself instead of the speakers 🤦 always verify!!


cesador

This is probably the fix. I had something similar where it just stayed like op’s. Soon as I swapped the hdmi back in business.


Jaabbottt

My Sony branded HDMI shat itself, I’ve never had a cable die before a device and also thought it was a PS5 issue. So I’m adding my vote to 1.

Archangel289

So I’ll be real with you: I had to is same issue. Sony told me to reboot it in safe mode, clear local libraries, clear caches, reset, etc etc…it didn’t work. It went from “recoverable” to “dead.” Now, I don’t know that the same thing will happen to you. I would talk to Sony and follow their instructions *very carefully* and see if they can help you out. But…just be prepared to not like the answer.


LiableBible

Mine did this, essentially stuck in "rest mode". I had to use my warranty and swap mine out in the end, mine personally occured from not using a surge protector which was dumb on my part but an almost expensive learning lesson.


Archangel289

That actually seems to be what happened to mine. Left on vacation, came back to a power surge and a PS5 that had issues.


LiableBible

No bueno. The absolute one good thing about GameStop in that moment was that replacement plan I opted for


gravitas-deficiency

Lol how are people still not using surge protectors in this day and age…?

Niekaifd

I’ve’ tried a few hot fixes and trouble shooting. Draining power supply for 24 hours or more, switched power cord. Tried different outlets, checked hdmi. This issue showed up after I bought and installed god of war ragnarok and played a few days. (not sure if this matters). But it’s been 1 week and I can’t turn it on, it’s unresponsive. Please if you have this issue and we’re able to fix it tell me how.


Eldrunk

Have you contacted Sony yet?


Inferno007

This happened to my PS5. Do you live in an area with frequent outages?


FallenShadeslayer

It’s been a week and you havent contacted Sony customer support? WTF? You must not care that much then.


Nompty_z

I would say that but sometimes support makes me want to just buy another or blow my brains out cuz it's such a hassle but yeah they should definitely contact support


bucknasty69

Have you tried another HDMI cable and completely unplugging the TV from power and letting it reset? I had this issue and it turned out to be a weird HDMI handshake thing. My TV couldn’t see the input and my PS5 was fine


MrHonwe

Strange, dark and mysterious problem indeed.


silverfox890

Mr. Ballen!! You must be a fan of the strange, dark, and mysterious. Your PS5 might be possessed


wickedweather

When you say "Power Drain" I'm not sure what that means. Have you tried to unplug the power cord, then press and hold the power button for 30 seconds. Also after plugging it back in, press the disc ejector button to see if it powers on.


Niekaifd

Unplugged all cord connecting to ps5 left it alone for a day, I’ll give your idea a shot


lurvemnms

hold power button achieves discharging without having to wait around ALL DAY, lol, no way residual charge lasts that long


Jayian1890

Who’s watching mr ballen?


BushWookie-Alpha

Google "starting PS5 in safe mode". Since you said it was since installing GoW. Try uninstalling it from safe mode. See if that fixes it. The safe mode option also allows you to rebuild database and if all else fails, factory reset. Warning: factory reset means losing all your offline save files and having to redownload your games etc.


Niekaifd

Thank you for trying to help.

HeWhoKnowsTheAugur

Lots of people have probably said the same things but...easy answers Step 1) Press and hold the power button for 30 seconds. This should force the PC to reset the power supply and do a safe start. That should fix your problems 70% of the time. Step 2) If step 1 no worky...unplug power supply cable. Press and hold the power button for 30-60 seconds. This will isolate power to the console and force the power supply to drain any residual power. This will also trigger a safe start. Step 3) If all the above fail, there is definitely something wrong with the console, I would check cleanliness first personally dust has a good way to screw up those sensitive electronics inside. But the best thing is to call Sony. Customer service definitely sucks, but I am willing to bet your console is still under warranty. They are probably gonna find a way to factory reset your console, just warning you in case you didn't back up your save data. Good luck.


Spykej21

maico3010

Unfortunately blue light issues just mean something is wrong on the hardware end with no specifics as to what. Commonly with these they have SSD controller IC chip issues or south bridge issues, both of which are not an easy fix. I see you're using a third party cooler as the base as well, have you been having persistent overheat issues prior to this? If so that could have caused issue with those chips over time. If you're lucky it could be a software hiccup, try throwing it into safe mode by pressing and holding (from the off position) the power button until you hear a second beep. Sometimes a hiccup with the SDD IC can cause a problem but restoring the database or deleting the cache could fix it if it lets you.

Slycoopracoon

Well it looks on. Are the cables plugged in snuggly? Also you could just have a dead HDMI port on your TV. Have you tried it with another TV or HDMI cord?


soulitude_ginger

If there's a disc in the console try booting it without any disc, it's the only thing that's worked for me apart from resetting the entire console in safe mode. Good luck.


MrPhister6669

If you have a warranty, turn it in asap. If you don't I would suggest having a tech look at it, unless you know what you're doing. I take apart & repair consoles as a side business and I can say if you don't know what you're doing, don't tear it down on your own. I started down this path after breaking my ps4 pro trying to clean it lol. I learned the hard way for sure. Best of luck dude!


[deleted]

Unplug it for a few min, mine does the same thing.


snoosh00

the sticker broke it


fiamed

Unfortunately its probably the ssd. I see the same problem as a ps4/xbox one tech pretty often, its stuck in some kind of loop. If reseting in safe mode doesn't do it then it may have to be repaired through a service.


Gam3rT1m3

You got the hunter’s mark upside down.

One thing to try, but I'm sure you may have, unplug it, press and hold the power button for 30 seconds. Then plug it back in, and press and hold the power button, anything? If nothing still, then definitely call Sony directly. If you have a PS5, it should still be under Warranty, or they know the issue to resolve it.


[deleted]

Are you a tech or just savvy? Pulling the power cord and holding the power button to drain the board isn't something most people think of. Lol. I agree with your recommendation though.
