Jesus this guy is ignorant to everything.
Turn on Do Not Disturb on your Skype, guy.

thread watching him watching the thread watching him watching the thread watching him

inception.

 

[FaintDeftone]

Dude needs to give it a rest man. It needs repaired. Just give up already!

 

[foxbeldin]

This thread delivers so much

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Trying to get the guy to chat so I can help him a little.

Oh shit. Bad press begins. At least wait until the launch, IGN.

 

[Codeblew]

and the barcode to his PS4

Everyone that has his address should bombard him with pizza delivery. No harm in that. Would be hilarious to watch his stream while getting pizza deliveries every 5 minutes.

Either that or download the update here and put it on a usb stick.

Already downloaded and copied to the right folder on USB. Just in case!

 

[BadAss2961]

His PS4's HDMI is most likely fucked, but he refuses to learn how to remove the HDD and reformat it. It's his only option at this point.

EDIT: Finally. lol

What did sony tech support tell him?

 

[smr00]

I like how dude in the skype calls Sony shitty because they are sending a box to get it fixed.

Do they expect sony support to magically fix it over a phone? It's probably bricked and it won't be fixed unless he sends it in.

What did sony tech support tell him?

Told him everything they could possibly do over a phone. Nothing worked so they are sending a box.

Sometimes problems can't be fixed with a restart.

 

[Kacho]

Hold down the power button for about 10-15 seconds, the system will shut off. I've had to do it a few times on PS3, several other people a few pages back confirmed it as well.

Never did it that way (holding the button for 10-15 seconds) on my PS3 when it froze. Always unplugged it. Weird that this thing would brick because of that.

 

[Ray Wonder]

Poor guy, none of his friends know what they're talking about either.

 

[owlbeak]

Can't believe he hasn't tried the USB thumbdrive trick. I know he doesn't have one, but come on. Surely someone has one he can use, or he could go get one?

Would it even matter if the display isn't working?

 

[Barzul]

I hope this is not on a RROD scale. Like that would be absolutely terrible. I thought this was isolated but it seems to have happened to a couple of people.

[MThanded]

His PS4's HDMI is most likely fucked, but he refuses to learn how to remove the HDD and reformat it. It's his only option at this point.

Read the OP. That doesn't seem to fix it.

Didn't work on the other brick.

 

[Ghazi]

Subscribers only, LAME

 

[Flunkie]

is he really taking it apart?

 

[Goodacre0081]

HAHA go to tacobell and get another one..

unless he wants a wheelbarrow full of tacos, i don't see how that will help

 

[Twio]

Chat was just cleared & restricted again.

 

[Riedinizzo]

Has he tried smothering it with Mountain Dew and Doritos?

 

[Arrogant Bastard]

Yes, he is taking the HDD out. Why? Cause.

 

[Masked_Ninja]

Oh gosh don't do it.

 

[fluffydelusions]

o man is he taking it apart. this gunna be good.gif

 

[Bizazedo]

is he really taking it apart?

Of course he is.

"Going to need a screwdriver....that sucks..."

 

[Revengineer]

Oh shit my PS4 just bricked too!

 

[Yawnier]

Looks like he is going to void his warranty by opening it?

 

[hwy_61]

Welp, there goes the warranty.

 

[CHusson91]

He's taking it apart... Smart.

 

[Ghazi]

Wait, if he takes his PS4 apart then RIP warranty, why is he doing this?

 

[Flunkie]

lol he thinks opening up his console won't void his warranty...

lol thx

 

[blankempathy]

Dude needs to give it a rest man. It needs repaired. Just give up already!

You cant just give up. Too many times have I fiddled with something in my attempt to fix it. It just becomes personal after a point.

 

[Yondy604]

he is going to void his warranty. Incoming

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

Watch Sony refuse to honor this because he's voiding the warranty.

 

[Riedinizzo]

"I don't think it will void the warranty..."

Oh god.

 

[scytherage]

Is the next-gen party over before it even started?

 

[smr00]

Watch Sony refuse to honor this because he's voiding the warranty.

How is removing the HDD voiding the warranty? They allow you to swap HDD's.

 

[nynt9]

The level of schadenfreude I've derived from this stream is immense. The guy is so bad at listening to instructions and troubleshooting.

 

[Vestal]

Oh shit. Bad press begins. At least wait until the launch, IGN.

well with IGNs unit the count is now up to 7.


Socialmedia is going to really play an interesting part in all of this.

 

[ffdgh]

Isn't he voiding his warranty?

 

[Kerned]

I hope this is not on a RROD scale. Like that would be absolutely terrible. I thought this was isolated but it seems to have happened to a couple of people.

Yeah, hopefully it's not widespread, but this is the main reason I never buy new tech at launch. There are so frequently issues that come to light during those first days and weeks, or in this case, maybe hours.

 

[Ray Wonder]

"Take it back to Taco Bell"

I caught that too, gave me quite the chuckle.

 

[Square Triangle]

So he bricked his console from unplugging it while it was updating?

 

[KoopaTheCasual]

Everyone that has his address should bombard him with pizza delivery. No harm in that. Would be hilarious to watch his stream while getting pizza deliveries every 5 minutes.

There is massive harm in that.

 

[Zombie James]

I thought upgrading the HDD didn't void the warranty?

 

[Kacho]

Dude is taking it apart? This will go well. Bye bye warranty.

 

[MThanded]

Oh shit my PS4 just bricked too!

Pictures please. Are you bullshitting us?

 

[Evil Beaver]

Wait, if he takes his PS4 apart then RIP warranty, why is he doing this?

Does this include replacing the HDD?
