grjkie 727 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 (edited) Hey guys, since you all probably have the ps4 system for longer than I've had mine I'm posting my issues to see if any of you have already had similar problems. I've had my system for a couple of months now and this morning when I turned it on it wouldn't respond. I would hear one beep but no lights or anything else. Unplugged everything, it booted. Just to turn itself off a couple of minutes later. Googled a bit, unplugged everything again and booted in safe mode. There was a system update, did that, played gta for about 2 hours and the issue reappeared. Now it only beeps, no lights or anything... Faulty unit perhaps? It sucks to have a new system die on me like this, never happened to me before... Contacted support by mail and waiting for a reply 1 hour later unplugged everything, disconnected the hd, connected everything again and it is working...

JustHatched 12,103 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I've never had that problem, sorry.

grjkie 727 Posted January 25, 2015 Author Share Posted January 25, 2015 That's ok, I've already read a couple of posts and although I'm not alone in this I think the majority of people doesn't have any issues... Guess I was just unlucky with this one. Worked for about one hour and it doesn't work again Quote www.ishare4free.com Please don't be offended, it's a small piece of my mind that I chose to expose...

DavidCore89 7,402 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 (edited) When I first got my PS4, around the time of GTA launch, I had a blue error screen upon booting up that told me to contact Sony. Until that point it worked fine, it was only used about 10 times as I was still playing GTA on PS3. My HDD had faults according to Sony, it took them over the promised week to fix and send it back to me, in fact it took around 3 weeks, they gave no explanation for the delay either. In you case, I would have called them, email replies are usually generic, they'll want you to send it back to them and any email reply won't be of much use to you, a human during a telephone call can/may offer better advice. Good luck! Edited January 25, 2015 by DavidCore89 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haste 190 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I'd send it to repair or get a new console, you still have warranty on it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grjkie 727 Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 (edited) I have it since September 2014, I don't think the store will give me a new one. Yes DC you're right I also prefer speaking with someone live but this happened on a Sunday , tried live support but it only works in the US, i tried calling but only Mondays through Saturdays. Mine still hasn't given me any errors, it simply shuts down and after all the tricks I do when it turns on it tells me it didn't shut down properly... When it turns on there's a small utility that checks if the system has any errors on it and apparently it has none. I was so angry today but I'm a patient guy, let's see what they'll say... Thanks guys for replying Edited January 26, 2015 by grjkie Quote www.ishare4free.com Please don't be offended, it's a small piece of my mind that I chose to expose...

A store won't replace it as it's been longer than 28 days (that's UK), however you have a 1 year manufacturers warranty, if you have proof of purchase (receipt, bank statement) then you'll get it fixed or replaced by Sony.

grjkie 727 Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 (edited) I guess in all this I was kind of lucky it didn't shut down when it was updating lol, I assume they would say that it would have been my fault. Here In Luxembourg its 15 days I think, I will contact them as soon as I wake up tomorrow morning Update Sent the console Wednesday so probably two weeks without ps4, been playing gta on the PS3 but I've grown used to the ps4 controller, and to gta on the ps4... I like it but It's just not the same The new/refurbished ps4 arrived today Edited February 6, 2015 by grjkie Quote www.ishare4free.com Please don't be offended, it's a small piece of my mind that I chose to expose...

grjkie 727 Posted February 6, 2015 Author Share Posted February 6, 2015 Posting to see if any of you have any advice regarding this issue, So I've got another ps4 to replace mine, had to deactivate the old one to be able to play online but all my cloud saves are gone. I've read there was a glitch which we needed to first upload a save to the cloud and then magically the other saves would appear... Did that but no use, lost all of my saved games... Anyone has other advices I could try? Quote www.ishare4free.com Please don't be offended, it's a small piece of my mind that I chose to expose...

grjkie 727 Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) Thanks ronin, it seems though that it was my fault I think, I had everything on the auto setting and from the look of it I still needed to manually upload the save files. I always thought the whole process was automatic, but apparently it isn't. Sucks for me, but thanks anyway Thanks to r* for saving my GTAO character Edited February 7, 2015 by grjkie Quote www.ishare4free.com Please don't be offended, it's a small piece of my mind that I chose to expose...

ronin 596 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Ouch :/ Do you still have access to your previous console? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grjkie 727 Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 No, Sony sent me a refurbished one and I had to send my other console back Quote www.ishare4free.com Please don't be offended, it's a small piece of my mind that I chose to expose...

ronin 596 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Chances are small, but I would definitely contact them to see if anything can still be saved. You never know ... What about transferring your PS3 toons again to your new console? Not sure if possible for a second time, but at least part of what you have achieved so far, might be saved and you wouldn't have to start from scratch.

grjkie 727 Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 When I tranfered my character it was only the online one, the story mode I had to play again, I did not mind it that much I like the story missions of gta v, gta isn't the biggest issue, the issue were the other saved games, I've already given up lol, yesterday I've read quite a bit regarding this, tried a couple of things but no use It's ok I really only play GTAO and the new ps+ games, I would be angrier and probably even call them if I had lost hours of gameplay with other games... Thanks for your support bro Quote www.ishare4free.com Please don't be offended, it's a small piece of my mind that I chose to expose... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
