PS4 Won't Turn On, Unresponsive power button and eject button only bee
I left the PS4 running with a game playing. A person in our household sees it and proceeds to unplug the power cord from the outlet (without exiting anything or turning off the PS4). Now I tried turning on the PS4 but it doesn't respond, either through the controller or the power button.
The power button literally doesn't do anything; and if the PS4 is plugged in, the controller light blinks twice or thrice then stops as if it has turned on the PS4 already. (but when the PS4 is unplugged, it only keeps blinking) When I press the eject button, it only beeped once.
I've tried various solutions around the internet such as holding the power button, replugging both power cord and HDMI, trying another outlet and power cord, and tilting it different ways. I was able to manually eject the disc inside, which causes the eject button to beep 3 times now.
I've seen people say that it could be a power supply issue, so I went ahead and bought one online since the warranty is void already. After replacing the power supply, nothing changed. Still the same symptoms.
Anyone here who can help me fix the PS4 or at least give me an indication as to what the problem could be?
Is this a good question?

Same for me, but when i plugged mine in it had a power surge, and sometimes along with only the eject button beeping, but the power button being unresponsive, is if once in a lifetime when it would turn on sometimes it will turn back off. It makes me sad. Tried everything. Just gonna try replacing power box, if it doesnt work then i will replace the motherboard...

I have a similar problem but it is a lot worse. My ps4 power button is broken. I have tried to turn it on with a disc but nothing happens. When I try to turn it on with my controller nothing happens. It is a very old ps4 like a day 1 but I don't have the money to get a whole new system. Anyone know anything I can try?

from the sound of it the os could of been damaged from being unplugged abruptly you can download the os from playstation and attempt to update/reinstall the operating system and see if that works if not you could try to replace the power button ribbon cable but thats probably not your issue since you tried turning it on with the controller!
