LOL, THIS IS SO HILARIOUS.

OK so it seems like the HDD got corrupted because the idiot unplugged it while it was updating.

Formating it will solve his problem. He just doesn't have another computer.

Someone needs to tell him to get an SATA cable because he can use it to plug into his laptop and boot Linux from USB to format the drive.

 

[Flunkie]

various news outlets and people streaming reporting bricked ps4s.... this has got me really worried for mine on Friday

 

[Yondy604]

Thread of the year

 

[BadHand]

lol what?

 

[DTSAirmaN]

Omg...is it working?!

 

[Ran Ran]

Rocky just beat Apollo Creed!

 

[Mistah]

Wtf is going on

Magic happend.

 

[Gintoki313]

He finally got it working. Guess taking out the HDD helped.

 

[kurbaan]

So we can now confirm he corrupted his hard drive by pulling his cord during install / update

 

[RaikuHebi]

I fucking knew these bricks were an exaggeration.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

Wait, so how did he fix it?

 

[diggler41]

LOL @ at the chat after the removed the HDD:

"Now replace it with a taco."

Holy shit. Lol. I about pissed myself.

 

[Papercuts]

I'm waiting to just hear an explosion and the stream to end.

 

[blankempathy]

What did he do? I missed about a few minutes.

 

[NoTacos]

Oh shit he got picture back. I guess HDD actually was fucked.

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

Oh shit, it came on, wtf.

 

[Zombie James]

If I were him I would format the drive then flash from USB.

 

[Twio]

"So what do I do know?I don't want to break anything."

This guy is gold.

 

[Fedelias]

Anyone got the link?

 

[BlackBuzzard]

So he bricked his HDD?

 

[TheFalc55]

SOMEBODY tell this poor kid about the PUP update

 

[Atilac]

The only thing blown out of proportion is the opportunity for trolls on this stream.

Or are you referring to the people who are seriously worried that a few pre-launch PS4s with differing issues indicates a massive problem to come?

This one, 7 possible dead units is pretty good out of the thousands in the wild. People don't scream to high heavens when shit works, only when it goes bad, so it's pointless to extrapolate far reaching production issues out of this.

 

[Dr.Acula]

Man, I kinda wish I had been watching this for a hour, and not two minutes.

 

[BadAss2961]

This guy... He needs to reformat that HDD. lol

 

[Kyon]

Neogaf is full of FUD.

Replacing the HDD does not void the warranty. The thing was built to allow that. Some of y'all will parrot anything.

The bandwagon stupidity I canNOT

 

[SenjutsuSage]

Poor guy, I actually feel sorry for him.

He was clearly nervous and his hands were shaking, he probably didn't even "got it" that he gave personal information to a lot of people. Getting a PS4 Day one and having such issues like that is sad, hoping for the best for everyone else no matter if they are in NA or Europe. I hope I can get mine on November 29th but I don't want NA to beta test it, I want NA to have great fun and post their impressions, pick-ups and so on. Despite all this, great times are coming indeed and I can only wish the very best to us all. Can't wait!

Oh god, why don't you sit under a rainbow and write a poem?

lol jk, good post. South park humor

 

[SpudBud]

I'm glad I was here to witness this mess of a stream.

 

[GreyWind]

So the white light signifies what exactly?

 

[MThanded]

LOL, THIS IS SO HILARIOUS.

I said this earlier in the thread.

Where do I claim my reward?

 

[Linkhero1]

This stream has been the highlight of my day. How sad.

 

[owlbeak]

So yeah, system itself is totally fine. He corrupted his HDD by unplugging the system during a game download/install.

That's good to know.

 

[cdkee]

OK so basically this guy is an idiot. All he needs to do is remove the corrupt partition...

 

[KaOTiK]

I always heard people were this dumb, but I never witnessed it first hand. I'm in awe.

 

[Yondy604]

So now he just needs to format his HDD and boom

 

[RK9039]

Yeah the HDD got messed up.

 

[Mistah]

Anyone got the link?

[Demon Ice]

Oh god I closed the stream what happened

I need a Lionel Mandrake recapdate

 

[Ran Ran]

So the white light signifies what exactly?

That it is in safe mode

 

[csquared587]

Haha, finally he took it out and it worked. This guy must be new to troubleshooting, I guess being a PC gamer for awhile got me into the habit of individually removing parts to find the error.

 

[S0N0S]

I'm waiting on Horror to show up.

One admin(myself) is enough to help with chat and I'm sure he's got more important things to do.

 

[t hicks]

omg
this thread

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

I fucking knew these bricks were an exaggeration.

I know, people freaked the fuck out over a single dude.

 

[Steel]

I'm sure, if others have gotten it, they may not have posted about it.

That's why I said 20 and not 5. Hell if it's 10 times the number that's 50 out of 4k is a 1.25% failure rate. 100 out of is a 2.5%. All still within reason. By the stream it sounds like a harddrive failure anyway. No big deal.

 

[solarus]

I said this earlier in the thread.

Isn't it obvious though, why the fuck wasn't this the first thing he did.

 

[Carl]

Wtf is going on

No one knows

 

[The Dear Leader]

This dude is losing his fucking mind and it's glorious to watch, I've never seen someone show such pure joy from seeing a game systems safe mode.

 

[Revengineer]

This one, 7 possible dead units is pretty good out of the thousands in the wild. People don't scream to high heavens when shit works, only when it goes bad, so it's pointless to extrapolate far reaching production issues out of this.

Yeah, absolutely. Plus 3-5% failure rate is pretty common in modern electronics manufacture.

 

[SymbiantXenos]

LOL @ at the chat after the removed the HDD:

"Now replace it with a taco."

Just laughed out loud enough to wake the whole street up.

 

[Keyouta]

Greatness waits.

 

[frizby]

This guy is a moron.
