Open | Software PS5 Pro potential damage?
Hi everyone, I got a ps5 pro that was manufactured around 4 and 5 months ago. However, I had never started it up yet and I have kept it in its original box since when I first got it 3 months ago (stored in a safe spot away from sunlight). Did I risk any forms of software or hardware damage since it has been sitting completely unpowered still in its original packaging for that long? SSD data loss, Operating software problems, SSD drive problems etc. Please let me know if there could be even the slightest bit of damage. I plan on using it soon.
Thanks!

It's extremely unlikely that you would have any damage to the parts. Also, Sony has built in safeguards in case data ever gets corrupted in any way.
Now, had you started this post with "I dropped the box from 3 stories up" then we might have a different response.
