So, I was in the middle of gaming when my house’s power flickered a few times. Now, my PS5 refuses to turn back on, although everything else seems fine. I’ve already attempted plugging it into different outlets, but no dice. Does anyone have insights on what’s wrong or how to remedy this situation?

Try unplugging your PS5 from the outlet strip and replugging it after a little wait. Sometimes the system just needs a full power cycle to reset itself. I’ve had similar issues before and this simple trick worked like a charm. Give it a shot!
Is your power strip equipped with surge protection? That would’ve helped shield the PS5 from power fluctuations. If it’s not protected and nothing else works, there’s a chance it got fried. You might need to consider replacement options if repairs seem too tricky.
Your PS5 might’ve been affected by the power flicker. If it was plugged into an outlet strip without surge protection, it’s possible your console got zapped. Try plugging it back into a direct wall outlet if you haven’t already, just in case. If it doesn’t work, you might need to get it checked or repaired.
