    Hi. I’ve been having the problem of my ps4 not turning on after updating. It crashed when I tried to go into netflix and since then I can’t get it to turn on at all, the light will flash and then it just turns back off. I tried unplugging it like you said but it didn’t work…

  2. Kain says

    I have a launch ps4 with a hybrid 1TB hard drive. Update will not install by download direct to console or in safe mode. I downloaded the update to a freshly formatted flash drive in both fat32 and exFat. Still no go. I then tried the update for a fresh install in both formats. You guessed it no go. I went out and bought a new hard drive that wasn’t hybrid but still no joy. WTF am I to do Sony?

      Did u get a fix mine does the same thing

  3. Carter says

    my beats worked fine in parties before the software update, but don’t work in a party when i unplug it or mute, and usually as soon as i join a party it’s not working, and unplugging and replugging it fast 5-10 times didn’t fix it.

  4. Ookami says

    I have been playing elder scrolls online on my ps4 and love it. After the update I got back on. Suddenly my game was laggy and about 45 minutes later it threw me off the game server and chat in my party. I got chat to work again but it was bad quality. I can not access the PlayStation store or play anything online. It is not my internet though at times it says can not connect even though it says I am connected to the Internet. I downloaded the update o to my jump drive and initialized the ps4 (option 7 when in safe mode) and redownloaded the update. It still won’t work. HELP!!!

  5. Mike says

    When I use remote play on my Vita over internet, then disconnect or get disconnected, when i try to reconnect I get errors. I checked and my PS4 thinks I’m still doing remote play or its into rest mode but gets hung up in the process and never goes to rest. Sometimes, 30 min later ill be able to connect, other times I have to unplugg my PS$ to get it out of the rest mode loop.

    Media videos, Netflix , games are locking up and won’t play! My ps4 is a paper weight currently! Help Sony!

    1. Lee says

      Mine doing the same! Any fixes?

      1. Jon Conklin says

        Nothing yet!

  7. Jii-na says

    Mines screwed up after the update too!

  8. ashley says

    Okay everyone. I had the same problem mine would turn off for no reason while gaming and wouldn’t turn back on. I sat there got it into safe mood and restored to factory settings. It seems to be okay so far. Super sucks have to rehome download all games n such!!

    1. Jon Conklin says

      When I restored to factory settings, it redownloaded all the content again once I signed in and then the same problem persisted. I did not want to uninstall FaLLOUT 4 but I’m hoping the issue is related to that gamer. It is surprising that an error in one game could make the whole PS4 operating platform unstable?

      1. Hyspeedlodrag says

        Update: Was told by Sony to send in for repair….waiting to get it back. I’m afraid that when I down all the saved data the system will crash again! Any suggestions? Maybe it was just a coincidence that the system went out near3.5 update… Also just outside the 1 year warranty!
