"Like a one man human centipede"

This is how I understand booting into safe mode:

1) HOLD DOWN THE POWER BUTTON
2) KEEP HOLDING IT DOWN
3) EVEN WHEN IT POWERS DOWN, KEEP HOLDING IT DOWN
4) KEEP HOLDING IT DOWN UNTIL YOU HEAR TWO BEEPS.
5) NEVER LET UP UNTIL YOU HEAR THE TWO BEEPS

This would be similar to how you reset an iPhone. You hold it down through the first powerdown cycle and keep holding it down, until you get the "double-boot" thing.
THIS. Someone tell him about this

olololollol

Keeps these gifs coming.
 
Hold that power button till the end of the world if you have to. Just do not fucking let go until the white light!

In all seriousness, it's probably the HDMI port that's fucked, or he bricked it when he unplugged the HDD with the power on.

I'll tell him to try this next. Where did you get this from?

That's exactly how it works. I saw it happen. Twice.
 
What I am trying to figure out is- if the issue happened when he disconnected during an update, why would he be messing with the cords and the monitor? It shouldn't have anything to do with that.
 
This is amazing, and one of the best things I've seen in the industry in a long time. I can't believe so many people are watching this. It's like a community gathering train wreck. Whether or not the PS4 has actual widespread issues, I'll never forget this launch.


DUDE JUST INVITED PEOPLE TO HIS HOUSE AFTER HE GAVE HIS ADDRESS OUT EARLIER

WAT

Whaat

dude is gonna get robbed. Goodbye PS4.
 
Try unplugging the TV while the TV is on. Some times (with the PS3) TV's have an issue with HDMI hand off and wont display. Unplugging the TV while it is on fixes it.
 
STEPS

1 TURN OFF PS4
2 KEEP YOUR FINGER ON THE POWER BUTTON TILL THIS PS4 TURNS OFF
3 KEEP YOU FINGER ON THE BUTTON. DO NOT MOVE YOUR FINGER.
4 PS4 WILL START AGAIN WILL BEEP TWICE AND PUT YOU IN SAFE MODE

See, he probably reads (if at all, i doubt it really, i don´t know anymore) the first point "turn off ps4". It turns itself off, removes finger from power button. continues with point 2. Is confused - paradoxon.
