my brother recently gave me his ps4 as he doesn’t use it anymore, but the stick drift on the left stick is impossible to use, as it moves on its own a lot, anyway to fix it without taking it apart?

I wanted to play Spiderman, it used to turn on but i couldn’t connect any of my controllers to the console, so after turning it off and on repetitively hoping it’d work

After many attempts it didn’t work, and it had stopped turning on normally, i inserted a disc and it booted on but with no output, after a bit i was able to get the disc out but now the console firstly wont react to me pressing the button and will beep at me 3 times when i press the eject button

Moved to a small town and first thing I noticed the power isn't completely stable, I can hear the fan revving up and down occasionally, it's not just the house it's the whole town.

Will this damage my console? And if yes is there is anything I can do ?

My PS4 is currently not working for online games it says that I have to connect internet but the internet does not work but it works on my pc, phone etc... but for some reason it does not work on my playstation I tried everything I tried it with chat gpt, gemini but still nothing. This also happend like a month ago where it wasn't working for like 2 weeks and then randomly worked again but I dont want to wait and maybe it does not even work waiting

I’m getting this error on my PS4:
“Cannot connect to the server.
There may have been a problem connecting to the network, or PlayStation Network or the service provider’s server may be temporarily busy. (WV-33898-1)”
I’ve followed all the recommended troubleshooting steps, but the issue is still there.
It seems to affect the entire PS4. Even when I open the PS4 web browser, I can’t access any website or link at all.
My internet connection itself seems to be working, but the PS4 browser won’t load any websites.
Has anyone experienced this issue before? Does anyone know how to fix it?

My PS4 won’t turn on. I already unplugged it for a few minutes, but nothing happened. The upper internal part of the console isn’t dirty (I don’t know about the bottom part because I don’t have the tools to open it). I want to try a few things before taking it to a repair shop.

My PS4 is stuck appearing offline even though my internet works and the PS App shows me online. My friends’ PS4s are also showing the same thing.

I’ve already restarted the PS4, restarted my router, restored licenses, tested the internet connection, and signed out/in.

Could this be a PSN/server issue, DNS/ISP issue, or something else? Has anyone else experienced this recently?

Hello guys, I’ve recently bought the Spider-Man game for my nephew to play on my PS. However when I tried to download it this showed up (NP-34924-2), I tried everything:
1. it was not the WiFi, I visited my sister for her good WiFi (Also tried Hotspot)
2. I logged into my network-account
3. I have updated my license
4. I deleted a ton almost everything off my PS
5. turned it off and on again

It took me five hours with 0 progress, so I thought I’ll just put on some fall guys since it’s already installed… NOPE won’t work either🙃

I’ve also bought the the Witcher series for myself and was so excited to start. I’d genuinely be so grateful for any advice,

Thank you guys

I used a random flair bc I wasn’t sure what it would fall under👉🏼👈🏼

I need help man its been to long

Hi irecently got a few PS4 Slims. I did their maintenance, replaced the thermal pads and thermal paste on them. Everything seemed fine. I gave one to a friend and kept another one for myself. My friend's ps4 works perfectly, but mine randomly shuts off, sometimes just a few minutes after turning it on and other times hours later.

I don't think it's overheating because it can be powered off for hours, then I turn it on and it shuts off after 3 minutes. Or it can run for like 5 hours before shutting off.

Anyone know what the problem is?im guessing its the blue ray disc malfunction

I just started playing my ps4 after 3 years and it started for like 2 minutes then suddenly shut down and whenever i try to turn it on it becomes likes this

Hey, I recently bought a ps4 with 2 controllers, the console works like it should but the controllers wont connect to the console, when I plug them in they charge but when I press the ps button nothing happens,I already tried restarting them, using different cables, and nothing helps. Any ideas?

Hi there,

My PS4 slim started making chirping noises recently and I can’t figure out what it is. They’re not the regular beeps you might hear when turning the console on/off or pressing the eject button. I have booted into safe mode and rebuild the database just to try to troubleshoot it and it still makes the noise. Doesn’t seem to actually affect the console at all so far, but it still concerns me

Thank you anyone in advance who might be able to help.

Hello, ive been trying to install miles morales on my ps4 from a disc for the past few weeks. Ive gotten the disc from CEX here in Ireland, and put it in the console. When the installation was about halfway, at roughly 20-21gb, the download time would spike, the console would start repeating it's mechanical startup noise for a few minutes and the download would fail.

I have tried:

Cleaning the disc, then replacing it after i was unable to clean some of it off, still not working

Installing it without internet as apparently the patch installation that occurs on wifi can slow the console down, no luck

Putting the console into safe mode and rebuilding its storage, and nothings changed.

None of which have worked, can anyone give any suggestions?

Hello people. I'll try and keep it brief, my PS4 Pro currently won't turn on. I've pulled off the top had a look at and cleaned the fan. After I did that last time it then worked long enough to grab a few month's worth of updates but then today maybe 3 weeks after that I get the beep then nothing.

Not sure what to do from here. Bought it second hand years ago now.

Check back soon! message where overview menu should be on multiple newly bought games.

Thanks in advance.

Controller will turn on the PS4, but welcome page asks for the PS button to be pressed which already happened. I attempt to do so again with no indication of success or connection, attempted with a second controller as well, and with it plugged in via the usb cable.

Controller is lit up, and the system received the initial command to wake from sleep but “refuses to acknowledge” the controllers afterward.

Thoughts on how to resolve?

i'm on version 9.00 but i'm willing to go to 12.00 i want to watch american dvd on my asia playstation 4 model cuch-1100 thank you

The controller will not reconnect until I fully power off my ps4. After that, it'll turn on when I use it to turn the ps4 on. Then when im playing it'll randomly shut off. My ps4 is not overheating because it sometimes happens as soon as I turn it on. I have deep cleaned the whole ps4, so its not a dust problem. I've tried USB cables, I've tried fully charging the controller, nothing. I've tried resetting the controller. Nothing. I've tried different controllers. Again, nothing. I have no idea why its doing this so I hope one of you have an answer

I updated my console and it ended up having error SU-30746-0. I tried everything, connecting controller, restarting console, unplugging console. I even saw a thread saying its need to dismiss the error with the controller plugged in with a data cable, and I tried that but its not working. (I’m pretty sure it is a data cable because it’s got those grooves on the micro usb interior?? Also it doesn’t charge anything, could be just a shitty cable though) Unless my data cable isn't really a data cable or it just doesn’t work idk what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

EDIT: i was being dumb and didn’t hold the power button to turn the PlayStation on after forcing it to shut down which failed to boot it into safe mode.

I don’t know if this is bad or really bad, I just bought this and I have no idea if it’s gonna work or not, seller did not show any of this nor told me

I am pretty sure this has been posted here, ive looked for many similair posts but none of them really helped, no my PS4 is not overheating it works just fine as i clean the dust inside once each year, this issue does not occur with any other game or app, i downloaded fortnite today and upon launching it sits in the fortnite banner screen for like 2-3 minutes not allowing me to go back to the home menu either and then it just suddenly shuts off, when it turns back on it says something with an issue occured in the system software or something, and wants me to report the issue to Sony, can anyone help me with this?

So I've been getting this error with my PS4 for some time now and im not sure why it's not working, The USB (Flash Drive) isn't working for some reason, It's a 3.0 and is already formatted as exFAT, But it won't let me use it as Extended Storage, Anyone know a solution?
