Help! My PS5 Won't Turn On - Any Solutions?

-

I’ve been trying to power off and back on my PS5, but it just won’t turn on. The power button doesn’t do anything, and while the disc eject button beeps, there’s no light or indication that it’s working. This problem keeps happening, and it’s really frustrating. Has anyone else experienced this?

I’m dealing with the same issue, and I think it might be related to a power supply problem. Replacing a PSU can be tricky and costs around $90. I switched to a new surge protector, and it seems to have resolved my issue since the old one was pretty unreliable.

I can relate to your frustration! Sometimes a good reset helps. Try unplugging your PS5, waiting for a few minutes, and then plugging it back in. If that doesn’t resolve it, it might be a deeper issue with the hardware itself.

You might want to try switching out the power cord or plugging it into a different outlet. If that doesn’t do anything, you’re probably looking at needing to visit a tech person or potentially buying a new unit. Unfortunately, these things can be a hassle.

Thanks for the advice! I actually found that unplugging everything for about 5 minutes and holding the power and eject buttons while plugging everything back in worked for me. Really weird fix!
