i’m not even stuck on safe mode, i simply can’t open games without then crashing and even safe mode crashes when i try to reset the ps5
Doing this will it help me reconnect to the WiFi? Cuz my WiFi is good already tested my internet connection but it keeps saying on my ps5 that it’s to week and my ps5 is right next to my router and it won’t let me connect
My PS5 does this thing where sometimes I close a app or game it would freeze or it won't let me turn off manually. So should I go with last option 7 which deletes everything?
I only have option 4 and 8, i can't do anything else
Does the yout ps5 didn't turn off correctly screen damage the ps5 like physically damage parts in it
i saw this video and it said you can do clear cashe if you are lagging or having really bad fps drops and now my internet wont work can you help?
Hi, please help. I want to change my resolution. I try to do it in safe mode, the screen turns blank and I can't get any further.

I bought my PS5 yesterday and I’m stuck in it since yesterday and idk what to do now

My ps5 keeps saying something went wrong and it doesn’t work idk what to do
My games and apps are stuck saying calculating ??? Help I reset console multiple times and cleared everything .. reset licenses and still no good ..
I have options 1-8 but I’ve tried doing software update twice now & then it says need a usb. Does anyone know what I should do I only purchased my ps5 1 & 1/2 mths ago now I’m not sure what to do. Does anyone have any advice & it’s still on safe mode

You’re not the only one I’m dealing with that rn. Even when I try to update the system software in safe mode. It still says “something went wrong” I’ve heard the usb doesn’t work either
por casualidad algien tiene el archivo de reintalacion de ps5 pero no debe de ser del 2024 me sirve todos menos ese ya que quiero bajar la version algien tiene alguna antigua neceisto la de reintalacion no la de actualizar

It will do a local reinstall and then update to the newest version after it resets
I cnt get anywhere from the Safe mode screen, what now!?
Does a reset take me back to the original firmware and can I use online features with this firmware, data transfer from a ps4 is my only real concern. The most recent firmware update has prevented me from data transferring ps4 game to ps5

Unfortunately you cannot rollback a firmware update, even if you reset and reinstall system software the firmware will remain unchanged

can sombody reach out to me please because my ps5 keeps saying it cant start after i tried all the settings
Having an issue where the screen freezes upon boot up of the home screen.. after 5 seconds the screen freezes and I cannot do anything. I have tried every method online and still does the same thing. Only had the console like 3 months. Now I am seeing this is a common issue... I do love the PS5 but as a person who came from Xbox family for over a decade... this has me with a bit of buyers remorse. 😒

My ps5 was on my tv and started showing a black screen and safe mode wouldn't show up. I moved it to my monitor and it was working. I went to safe mode and cleared cache and it worked on my tv again. But a few hours later it's a black screen again.

Sounds like a display setting. Try lowering your resolution on the PS5 in the settings. Also check your HDMI cable

Your not putting the disc in backwards are you? Very easy to do with PS 5. And can cause permanent damage to the system.

Check for dust ps5 get really dusty they will over hear , also make sure fan is spinning u can take the top plate off and start it to see if fan is spinning , if that’s working then next step would be to take ps5 apart and inspect liquid metal on gear sinks if your not good with electronics I’d take it to somebody to fix properly
I Plug my controller but it puts my controller in this wierd stanz where it flashes blue really quickly and goes back to the charging orange it’s literally charging so I don’t even know what to do at this point I’m having trouble copying a disc so I resulting to this data base rebuild crazy how I payed $100 more for the PlayStation cause I thought disc drive would have been better in reality it was a pointless money grab
