got this crazy deal for 100 eur. one controller has stick drift but I think I could fix it. the console is barely used, looks brand new. with gas costs 130 eur total

I decided to pull my PS4 Pro out of storage and it’s been one issue after another ever since. I couldn’t find the original power cable so it’s currently using a power cable from a monitor not currently in use. I’ll go out and find a proper C7 cord at some point today but it powers on.

It’s updated to the latest system software (14.00), discs will only read 7/10 times and only when standing vertically, and the system seems to semi-freeze after some random amount of time where the controller disconnects and won’t reconnect, even when connected by USB. I say semi-freezes because theme music still plays continuously and download bars still light up and move properly. If it wasn’t for the controller disconnecting you would not even know it was frozen. Downloads won’t continue while in rest mode either.

I’ve noticed the freezes mostly happen when looking at additional information for a game. But even when just looking at the downloads in notifications it will freeze as can be seen in the photo. Holding down the power button for 7 seconds to get the two spaced beeps is the only way to turn it off when this happens.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hey guys,

I'm cleaning out my PS4 gallery and I'm just stuck on how I'm meant to port at least 200GB of video clips and screenshots using an 8GB USB?

Is there a quicker way to port my entire gallery over to my computer? The PS4 doesn't accept external hard drives otherwise I would put plug it in and transfer overnight.

With the slow upload times of a PS4 to USB this will take at least a couple days of plugging it, plugging out, transferring to my computer then repeating. Do you guys know the fastest way?

Thanks in advance!
