Some PS5 stopped working and it seems they already found the cause

PS5, stopped, working

Many players received their brand-new ones yesterday with all the happiness in the world. PS5. However, there were a few who apparently did not meet the same fate. Yesterday we discussed a case, and this Friday some more begin to appear.

What happened? Well, they just practically ‘died’. Obviously, this is disheartening for many. But it is best to go into detail about what is going on.

PS5 had a big launch around the world

One of the first problems reported is the youtuber ACB. He received a PS5 to review it and make the necessary coverage. The problem is that it stopped working.

According to him, he was using an external storage device, when a message appeared on the screen. This one said ‘your storage is damaged and we have to rebuild it’. It appeared several times in a row before the system stopped working.

Another user in Reddit, Dello512, shared a similar story. He employed a similar means, a NVMe of 1TB, with its PlayStation 5 connected via a rear USB port on the console.

This caused the system to crash and get corrupted, followed by rebuilding the database multiple times. In the end it seems that everything worked, and the system survived. This is why he recommends using the front console port instead of the rear one.

As expected, some glitches were reported

At least in the case of using a storage device NVMe. But there are more cases, like someone else’s youtuber, Omni. In a video he mentions that he was in the Playroom from Astro and then he turned off his console.

When he wanted to turn it on again, it just didn’t work. The power button did nothing. It is not known for sure what happened, but it seems to be something different from those who experienced so much ACB as Dello512.

At least in their cases if there was a previous warning, and related to an external storage medium. So if they happen to use one, they may need to take the advice of Dello512 using the front ports of the system.

Fortunately, it by no means appears to be generalized. It is to be imagined that Sony you are aware of these cases, and you are already taking action to discover what is wrong.
