Gisteren verscheen firmware 4.70 voor de PlayStation 4. Hoewel de meeste mensen geen problemen hiermee hebben zijn er wel meldingen van locked-up systemen en bricked consoles. Via de PlayStation Lifestyle kunnen we lezen dat deze zich voordoen na het installeren van firmware 4.70. Wanneer je freezes (vastlopende) op je scherm tegenkomt, dan zijn er enkele workarounds:
“Same thing happened to me this morning. Turn off your ps4 by holding the power button. Boot to safe mode by holding the power button until you hear two beeps. While in safe mode, restore storage, restart, boot back to safe mode, then install the update (use the from internet option) from there. Fixed the issue and working as usual. Hope that helps someone.” – Greavar
“Fixed it by booting in Safe Mode with the LAN cable unplugged (turn off router if you’re using WiFi). Then Rebuild Database and it should work fine after. It’s safe to connect to internet and update then.” – TheEmqeror
“Disconnected external hard drive Started in safe mode (then it wouldn’t pick up my controller, so turned it off) Restarted x 2 after only getting to the blue screen Got to main menu, reconnected the external hard drive, let it repair it Restarted again, this time it let me connect to the playstation network and download the update” – I_LikeDots
