Board 8 > My PS5 seems to be fucked.

(+) Yeah! (+)

When I turned it on this morning, all that happened upon startup was a red screen with the PlayStation logo and then after about a second the screen went black. All I could do was manually power down the console. I tried this a few more times and even after removing the disc and unplugging the system that's all I get. Searching in Google tells me that PS5 dorsn't HAVE a Red Screen of Death. Is my console so fucked that I'm the first one to see it? It was fine Sunday.

might have to try booting it into safe mode and initialize the console or reinstall the system software from a USB stick

as a last resort if nothing else you try works

That has some really helpful information for me. I'll be trying a couple of those things when I get a chance in a little while. Thanks!

Changing the HDMI cable worked. Thanks!

Glad it worked! At least it wasn't anything too serious.
