    Hi,

    I just turned on my PS4 to play FIFA15, connected to the WiFi and was asked to update my system. It downloaded the file successfully, restarted then did not come back on. Did this happen to anyone else? If so how did you fix it. All I'm getting now is 1 beep, and the blue light flashes. It will not allow me to enter safe mode either! This is due 100% to the update,

    Any help much appreciated

    It could be a bad firmware flash. I don't think there's a way to reset the console back to stock but worth checking if there is a way. If not your PS4 will need a repair from Sony.

    This was a problem with a PS3 and a bit silly if Sony went with the same firmware flashing system as that with no safety net.

    Just calm down and ring Sony,you're probably not going to fix it yourself and it should still be under warranty.

    Any chance you've got a free hard drive (internal), if you put a new HDD in the PS4 will install the firmware from USB (as long as it's the same or newer than the old version).

    Had an issue with a power cut and this sorted it.

    You only need it to start, you can put the old one back in after.

    If you've not got one or don't want to buy/get a lend you can format your current one in a PC/enclosure and then put that in but you'll have lost any data on it.

    Good to know there's a way to recover from a bad flash. On PS3 you are pretty much boned.
