I really dont like people who say "Nah he's faking, nobody is dumb like that." People are stupid. The moment you get an IT job or any information job, you learn really fast that people are stupid. Never doubt about how clueless people can be. You tell them to go on the first set of elevator, they will go to the second.
People will forget to plug the computer in the wall. People will put goddamn coffee in the CD Drive. People do click on "You won 1000000$". The Nigerian scam got millions of dollars scammed last year.

So yeah. People are dumb. I have no reason to doubt this guy.

900% this... The world is truly a sad place.
 
I think it's safe to say this is going nowhere. So I think I'm finally out.

5) Now Unplug the power from the system. JUST TO MAKE SURE IT'S OFF.

6) Plug the power into the system. DO NOT ACCIDENTALLY HIT THE FUCKING POWER BUTTON.

7) Now, Touch the power button lightly on the PS4 and hold it in for 7 seconds UNTIL IT BEEPS. Hopefully this will put it into safe mode. DO NOT SWITCH INPUTS WHILE IT'S DOING THIS. The system has to do handshaking with the TV.

Look. This is a comedy of errors. People are thinking that two beeps is the key. It's NOT!

Look at the first post of this thread:

There's instructions there on how to get into safe mode.

Note that it says the two beep thing is ONLY for IF the light is ORANGE.

So what he needs to do is this:

1) STOP FUCKING SWITCHING INPUTS

2) Plug the PS4's HDMI into HDMI Input 2

3) Set the TV to HDMI2. The reason why I say HDMI2 for the input is so we are using a completely different input for certain and to check the connection chain properly.

4) Make sure the PS4 does NOT have the hard drive plugged in and that the PS4 is completely turned off.

5) Now Unplug the power from the system. JUST TO MAKE SURE IT'S OFF.

6) Plug the power into the system. DO NOT ACCIDENTALLY HIT THE FUCKING POWER BUTTON.

7) Now, Touch the power button lightly on the PS4 and hold it in for 7 seconds UNTIL IT BEEPS. Hopefully this will put it into safe mode. DO NOT SWITCH INPUTS WHILE IT'S DOING THIS. The system has to do handshaking with the TV.

QUOTING

PLEASE DO THIS, AS WRITTEN.
 
ok ive watched this for 5 minutes, i dont know how you guys did any longer...going to have to turn it off, he clearly fucked his console by turning it off during an update or w/e, im guessing a launch console is very very unstable and easy to fuck up

By sheer blind luck he would have gotten it to work by now. He is intentionally borking it to keep the users viewing the channel.

Thats exactly when it died....for some reason he had 2 DCUO downloads going concurrently, and he left them and his PS4 just shut off by itself. Then, he tries to do the fix he did before but pulled the HD out without turning power off, now it won't go into safemode boot.

I...don't...even...

WHY. Why does this guy have a PS4 and not me? D:

This. Hope this gets to him.
 
In retrospect releasing consoles early like this seems like a bad idea. Instead of watching people play games everyone is flocking to this guys channel to watch a broken PS4 because there's nothing better to do while we wait for our own.

Guys did he really pull out the cord during the update?
Click to expand...

A sudden loss of power shouldn't brick it -unless he was flashing it. But he wasn't because he did have it working again briefly.

Anyhow, this guy spazzing out and switching drives and randomly trying inputs and safe-moding the thing a thousand times and being random isn't helping.

Being a "PC guy," I've learned that when you start getting frustrated, or exacerbated, or tired, like this guy clearly is -you can hear it in his voice, you have to STEP AWAY and CALM DOWN.

Spam chat and tell him to go to GAF if you can? Idk
 
I'm done with this clown, I have no idea how this guy has lived 27 years and still has a mindset like this. Just the inane shit he's coming out with, the pure ignorance..

It's stopped being funny for me.
