ps4 stucked on black screen after ps logo

Hi there,


I'm considering buying a second hand PS4 SLIM that it's stuck on black screen after the PS logo, but is not turning off by itself (blue light).

The PS4 goes into safe mode, but the reset/update/anything do not do  anything on the PS4. As soon as you do it, it  comes again into black screen with blue light after the PS LOGO. but still on.

I readed in some forums that people with the same symptoms  on their PS4  were caused by the hard drive unit.

what do you think?  Can we eliminate of the scheme ·"the big common problems"


Frank.

It’s either a bad hard drive or APU has gone bad. Let’s hope it’s just a bad hard drive. That is relatively cheap and easy to replace.

But if its APU is not a little bit strange that shows up image? logo, safe mode is avaible as well.. I dont know..

Only thing you can try is another HDD. Even a second hand one if you want to test. APU faults are more rare on slims so it should be just the HDD.

did you have the same problem? Or do you know someone that had the same problem?

by

Both. They bring it to me to fix. Fixed it by replacing HDD.

Thanks for your reply Ben, I'll replace the HDD.
