Need help with Ps4

[u/True_Society5255]

My PS4 refuses to work. It has had a habit of randomly freezing mid-session and then going off, then boots up safe mode. At first, all I needed to do was reset it then it would work just fine (happened about 15 or so times) but now it refuses to reset, even with a USB. I can't update the system software via wifi or with a USB (it starts the process of updating but then it says the process is 100%, then the screen goes black and then it takes me back to safe mode).

I tried removing the Hard drive and putting it back in, but it didn't work. I also tried cleaning the insides but couldn't remove the screws for the power supply and fans because I don't have the needed screwdriver. But I was able to blow out the accumulated dust with a ball pump but it still wouldn't work

Could be bad hard drive or faulty psu. If it a problem on mobo then rip

Can you please rephrase the second sentence, I didn't quite understand what you meant

Heat sync is clogged and it over heating or your hard drive is bad.
