[Zabant]

My reaction before and as he fixed it

 

[YouEnjoyMySelf]

Clueless guy messes up during firmware update and GAF freaks, ends up fixing it after 3,000 posts of non sense.

Sounds about right.

 

[Ray Wonder]

Hahaha, he's gonna help us.

 

[Jedi2016]

OMG, "I can help everybody with this problem, I'll start a forum post."

 

[Psychoward]

Does he not see the damn Share button.

Jesus, this is frustrating.

 

[djplaeskool]

So, reseating the HDD did the trick.
Alright then.

 

[Cody_D165]

SELF REPAIRING PS4

[Hidden One]

Sounds like a simple fix.

 

[Yondy604]

TITLE CHANGE IS NEEDED!

 

[Amir0x]

Anyone can fix a PS4.

Ultimate console.

"Are you an idiot? Than the PS4 is for you - it's completely failsafe!"

 

[mentallyinept]

OP should try this method.

 

[braves01]

Don't post that as a solution anywhere. Please.

 

[Violater]

Dammit I missed it, good for him.

 

[t hicks]

HE DID IT!

Spoiler

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

 

[Finalizer]

Okay, so whatever happened here better be archived. Sounds like whatever it was, was amazing.

 

[mrdark]

I can't tell if he's laughing or trying to make that dance/trance sound.

 

[Mr Moose]

" cassiep88: he unplugged the hard drive and plugged it back in"

That's the megafix? Sweet Jesus!

 

[Storm360]

Went to the bathroom, just came back..how the hell did he fix it?

He took out the HDD, booted it up, it gave a error about not finding the HDD, he then turned it off and put it back in and it booted.

 

[Zombie James]

Can someone give a rundown of what he did to fix it?

Removed the hard drive, booted, shut down, put the hard drive back in, booted.

 

[Keyouta]

PS4 too complicated, don't know how to stream.

 

[kurbaan]

This guy is gonna give away his Twitch account and pass on the stream I CAN FEEL IT

 

[vilmer_]

If this guy could get this many viewers every time he streams he could be raking in some serious cash lol.

 

[FuuRe]

what could it be?? maybe the HDD was loose or something?

 

[Cap'n Cook]

I feel like we just all shared a special moment in playstation history.

 

[Kacho]

Sounds like a simple fix.

LOL

 

[Goodacre0081]

I can't believe he wasted 5 hours with that. taking out the HDD would have been the first things I would have done

 

[Uiki]

Playstation 4 |OT| RESET THE CORDS

 

[SpudBud]

Ehh this guy.. Well I'm glad his PS4 is working again.

 

[Boke1879]

Well at least we have a template to try before people say the system is bricked

 

[Crackbone]

While im happy for the guy. Im slightly disturbed by him.

Still, its seems that the PS4 still has the same flakey issues regarding firmware and updates as the PS3.


And id advise against

:- Updating online

:- Background downloading of content

at least until the next few software updates.

This wasn't a firmware update.

He was downloading DCUO, the system appeared to hang, and then he unplugged it, which apparently corrupted data on the hard drive.

 

[Gary Whitta]

This guy is so fucking clueless if I worked for Sony or Taco Bell I'd send someone to his house right now to slap him in the face and take his PS4 back.

 

[Cow Goes Moo]

what a great thread this was lol

 

[Rebel Leader]

TITLE CHANGE AHOY!

 

[Ray Wonder]

I feel like we just all shared a special moment in playstation history.

*Hugs*

 

[NoTacos]

This is truly amazing. I will never forget seeing him on the brink of giving up then the reverse banderas gif on is pc screen

 

[joshcryer]

This is still a software problem that needs fixing, it required the system to get a hardware fault before it fixed itself, which is really bad. The hardware itself was fine but he couldn't get into safe mode without 'hurting' the hardware, effectively.
