Method 1: Reconnect the power cable

Reconnecting the power cable can power reset your PS4 and clear the corruption issues on your console. This is the first thing you should try when your PS4 can’t turn on.

3) Plug the power cable back to your console.

Then press the power button on your console and see if this works.

Dust issues can sometimes seriously interfere with your PS4. They can stop your game console from working properly. Cleaning the dust inside is a very effective method to resolve your problem. There are a few things you can try to dust your PS4. For example, you can try blowing into the vents or disk drive or doing some cleaning inside by opening the top plate of your PS4. After clearing the dust, you can start your console and see if this has helped you.

Another useful method is to unplug the power cable and then, seriously, hit your PS4. BE CAREFUL! Don’t hit that hard to break anything, but enough to give it a shock. After that, plug the power cable back and power on your PS4. Then check and see whether it this helps.

Sometimes you can turn on your PS4 by putting in a disk. Your console can detect a disk inserted in and start itself. To turn on your PS4 in this way:

2) Insert a disk into the disk drive on your PS4. Note that you don’t need to insert all your disk in. Keep pushing it in slowly until you see your console automatically turns on.

3) Pull your disk out.

If this works for you, your PS4 will get back to normal. If it doesn’t, then please try the methods below.
