*** The Official Playstation 4 (PS4) Thread ***

I was in Grainger games getting my ps4 today and there was already a queue of 4 people returning broken ones and that was 9.30!

Erugh, you posted this before.

No, the light does not turn white, it pulses blue and the television(s) I have tried it on just say no signal.

Really, inexcusably poor if this is a dead console.

Can you hear activity from the console HDD? Does it loop a unusual sound or does it click away like a normal HDD?

Tried a different HDMI cable?

It could be something to do with the HDMI handshake maybe?

I'm assuming your's just beeps once when you "press" the on button and then irrespective of how long you hold your finger there, the "double beep" doesn't come and eventually the machine just powers down?

Tried different cables.

The console sounds like it's booting up, but then nothing, just a pulsing light and heat from the rear.

Off to work, really sad about this.

It doesn't even power down, just nothing happens at all.

BF4 installed in less than a minute.

I would say this is noisier than my PS3 slim but it's not a vibration noise like the 360 was.

Looks like you're going to have to take it back for a replacement/refund and hope new stock comes in shortly. I wouldn't bother going through Sony to have it repaired as you'd probably have a long wait on your hands.

I was thinking is a blue strip light , not white strip light on the PS4 ?

 

[hardkore]

Didn't Sony say yesterday they have allocated stock incase there are issues? Try Sony first, they won't want bad publicity so I'd imagine they would endeavor to keep you happy.

 

[Suarez7]

On the official forums some guy contacted Sony and he said they're sending him a replacement within 24 hours

Hi Jonathan,

I have looked at your order for you and can see that it is being send out as we speak! I am very, very sorry for the delay.

Nile Fyfe.

Finally getting somewhere.

The blue light changes to white when it's booted up if that's what you're asking.

 

[Red and White]

Is there a psn problem at the moment?

 

[redrooster303]

[Brutus]

[beachBOYken]

Does anyone find that you get notifications a bit late ,like after you have done an update it then says update ready to install in the notifications bar?

There's an option for it in power saving modes in the settings.
