OT: Need help with PS4.

[tired]

I'm not tech savy. Just bought my boys a PS4 & I can't get past safe mode with 8 different options. Can someone explain to me what I do next? I just got home with it & turned it on. Please help.

When you turned it on at first, it sounds like you pressed and held the power button. Trying to find a solution for you. Did you buy it new?

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Can you not select restart?

 

[preacher_dawg]

If it's brand new, the restart ps4 should work. Next time, when you turn it on, don't hold it down. If it's used, you might want to consider another option other than restart.

Maybe YouTube a video on PS4 startup

When i got mine, it didn't go into safe mode at first. Of course, the power and eject buttons are very easy to hit accidentally, at least on the first models.

It's the new PS4 Pro 1 tb. Thanks guys for the replies. I was just informed by my wife we had a very short power outage as I was outside right after my boys turned it on. Had to restore default settings. It's up and running. Does it normally take 15 minutes to install a game? Damn I need to get smart with this ****..again I appreciate it.

yea it takes 15 mins if you have a good connection. Mine sucks and takes 1-2 hours.

Is this thread just code that you need a safe space after Tuesdays election?

Just blow on the cartridge if that doesn't work take a qtip with alcohol and rub the contact points on the cartridge. If that doesn't work you have to put the cartridge in just barely, so that when you press down on it it sticks at its lowest point.
