My PS5 isn't turning on? Can anyone tell why?

[milo_gabe97]

Bought it about a month ago, and it was working fine.... Suddenly, a blue screen appears and it doesn't turn on. It does beep but won't turn on...

Can anyone tell why, I have tried a ton of different solutions from different sites and videos. Nothing worked unfortunately...

Hello! Welcome to PS5Forum.com! I'm sorry for no answers, most of the time when there isn't an answer, it's because there isn't many players with a particular answer or experience.

For example, I'm the owner of the site, but don't have one. It's hard to find one.

However, if your console is unexpectedly shutting down, it's probably because it's either a hardware defect or a software issue. Most of the time, when there's a software issue, it can easily be fixed in a patch update. Either call Sony, or use the PlayStation.com website. All the information is enclosed in a instruction manual that came with the console.

I have questions though, what did you do before you shut down the console, or what? Where is your console located in the house? The reason why I ask is because it needs enough circulation from outside in order to keep the console cool. Here's a video that may help...

Hi Carlos, Thanks for replying me yourself. I really do appreciate this a lot
I understand that it can be hard to get a reply every time

And yeah, the PS5 was too hot then, I have moved the PS5 to a different location and maybe because of overheating it wasn't turning on.

I guess you saved me from a tonne of havoc in future.

It works great now!!!

Awesome, now update your console to the latest version. It may do this on its own, but keep checking from time to time, to keep it up to date.
