"Like a one man human centipede"

Yeah it does, it derails topics.

And the children who make these kinds of posts are usually just desperate for attention anyway. Best to give them none and get them out of here.

It came up in the Francis thread, as it makes cleaning up the thread more of a chore. Actually, a sticky on this for the next few weeks might not be a bad idea.

Yeah. That was one of the threads. Good looking out. I couldn't remember for the life of me where I had read it.
 
Take console apart ; Remove hardware ; Re-install hardware ; Put it back together.

Yes...this is exactly what I would like to be required to do with my console the first day I get it.
 
He didn't have a hardware failure. He had an OS failure that prevented his PS4 from going into safe mode.. And yeah, I've had plenty of "oh your power went out? Let's do a quick drive scan.... Ooh look at all of those locked files, and here's a few unrecoverable ones to boot." I mean not always, but it happens. It's a chance which is why YOU don't just unplug the power cable for the hell of it.

The fact that this has already happened to some people says something. The system hasn't officially been released. Hopefully they patch this. The system hanging was the problem in the first place. Also sorry yes I meant to say software problems but hardware applies in certain situations as well. Some people aren't tech savy. The general population doesn't know that you have to hold the power down for a certain amount of time before shut off. Also during a hard shut off I've never had a pc just not turn on at all because of a software issue. A few lost files maybe and if his data for the game was corrupt I'd understand that but os corruption? Thats a problem.

Lol my sides.
 
Wait what page has how he fixed the problem or what it actually turned out to be???

Guy is streaming his broken PS4(He broke it by unplugging his ps4 while installing something), complains to customer support for 4 hours whilst simultaneously being trolled by the people in his stream(Internet and all that), Ign decides that this is worth posting an article about. Finally through the troubleshooting in that 99% troll comments section he takes his HDD out, tries to turn on his PS4, gets an error, but at least it boots. He then puts the HDD back in and everything work. Guy then proceeds to pat himself on the back for being better than Sony Customer Support.... Thar's your summary, have fun.
