We were operating on a system from five updates ago. Even the colors of blue in the background are brighter now. Thanks so much because I was just going to buy a new one and not keep messing with it.

    Yo I highly recommend this guy. Made it so easy.
    So my brother is the actual owner of the PS4 and since I'm a computer *sabie he assumed I would be able to figure this out with no gaming experience lol. I had gone to the PS website simply to download the latest software and saved it on a flashdrive and gave it to him. He came back with the PS4, cords, and flashdrive for me to figure it out. I tried on my own and was like WTH can be so complicated with this. Well it was frustrating more than anything until I came across this video and had me literally doing checking off a list of possible things that were the problem. I literally started off with a random controller cable and that was my first issue until my alexa cord work since brother didn't provide the right cable.
    This took me about 20 to 30 min right before work and I even had a moment to write this down. Thanks so much!

    Thank you so much. You helped me so much with this video. I was having a metal breakdown because I have been trying to fix this problem for 5 hours and you saved me from throwing my console out my window and you save me money! I can’t thank you enough and whenever I have this problem again I will look to you for help!

    Omg, thank you so much.
    It worked on option 4 for me, I guess I'm one of the lucky ones. TBH my ps4 is old and only this year did I realise it had a "red ring of death warning" along with this warning right now. Very hot here in the UK this year. My ps4 has served me very well and just when I thought it had finally given up. You were the hero I didn't know I needed.
    Here's to 54 more years of ps4. When the price of controllers will be even higher with inflation.
    But seriously thank you.
