My PS5 turned off by itself and now it won’t turn on. What should I do?
Question:
Hey everyone,
Hoping someone here might have some advice. My PS5 completely died on me last night and now it refuses to turn back on. 😫
I was in the middle of a God of War Ragnarök session (finally got around to playing it!), and the whole system just shut down. No warning, no error message, nothing. At first, I thought it might be a power outage, but all the lights in my apartment were still on.
I’ve tried everything I can think of:
- Checked the power cable and outlet: Made sure everything is plugged in securely and the outlet is working.
- Tried a different power cable: Borrowed one from my Xbox, just to be sure.
- Held down the power button for 15 seconds: Tried to do a hard reset, but no luck.
- Unplugged it for a while: Left it unplugged for about an hour, hoping that might help, but still nothing.
The console is basically a brick right now. No lights, no beeps, no fan noise, nothing. It’s like it’s completely dead.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions on what else I could try before I resign myself to contacting Sony support? I’m really hoping I don’t have to send it in for repairs. 😥
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
