It has been fun GAF, but I'm out. I tried.

I have no doub it's an HDMI issue. His PS4 simply can no longer establish a connection to his TV. The only solution at this point is a new machine.

Just.... Tell the poor man to give up.

Dammit, I'm supposed to be sleeping.

I can't believe you lasted so long, you have a ton of patience.

No worries Sonos, you did good bro *fist bump*. He was lucky to have your technical assistance through much of this. He's gonna need to send it into Sony now.

I am not sure if this has happened before, but I think we need a thread lock even tho it's such a popular thread.

This is becoming pathetic.

You linked knowledge bases for two completely different situations.

Oh! Yup, you're right. Misread this part from the first link:

Connect the USB storage device that the update file is saved on to your PS4™ system, and then touch the power button for at least 7 seconds.
The PS4™ system starts in safe mode


So, for safe mode, you do not need the second beep.

Damn, my mind is fried at this point.

Which is funny because the original point of this entire thread was entirely something else. I suppose it was related.
 
Just tuned back in to see if this was still going on, before I go to bed. This new guy straight up told him not to go into safe mode.

Not saying it's a MS thing at all but I have a hard time believing it's genuine.
 
Ok I admit I haven't read the (over 100 pages, seriously?) of this thread, but I have to post in it for posterity.

It seems like more than anything these launch-week twitch streams are a carnival of crazy, with Bob Barker dressed in a gimp suit with the mouth zipped still trying to talk to yell "come on down" to the clowns while they wobble in on electric unicycles until the cords yank out of the sockets and they all come crashing into the audience yelling "freedom!" in a strange mockery of that Braveheart scene.

Meanwhile sanity must still exist somewhere on the internet.

I need to watch this because watching the macroblocked mess that is Yoshida's twitch stream from a PS4 is depressing. I hope there's a way to get a cleaner stream going.

Here is my theory, when he got it to work, he turned off the stream, he KNEW that he would lose a ton of people so he "broke" it again, he knows exactly how to fix it but is refusing to show us something behind the scenes.

I think he is doing this for views, followers, and press.

You are one very very cynical person. Then again I guess thinking the guy is -that- dumb is also pretty cynical. Today has been a great day for humanity.

Everybody should just go to Yoshida's stream, he's playing games. This charade has gone on long enough. Dude should just wait for the Sony box.
 
this stream/thread hit it's high a few hours ago. now he just sounds so defeated, the guy got a PS4 before 99% of the rest of us and the thing bricks on him.

Its not the HDMI connection. Its more likely a GPU problem.
Just sayin'.
The HDMI wouldn't just break and then fix and then break without being moved.

No doubt, but I do think his PS4 is broken. It's not like he's the only person.

Yeah, though some of his choices have been less than wise. Normal sensible people would have either formatted the hard drive from the PS UI when he had the chance or just given up and gotten a free ps4 from sony in exchange for a free ps4 from taco bell.

This becoming a publicity stunt makes more sense than the incompetence he's shown after getting it running again the first time.

Can someone tell him to hook up to his xbox360 to establish that his t.v can accept and display a picture. I don't understand why he's changing hdmi ports.
