    Getting this annoying problem lately that when I turn machine on sometimes what will happen is light will flash blue then go white and there s no display.

    The channel doesn't switch automatically to ps4 one and eventually it just beeps. So I have to reset it to get it back on sometimes it takes a few times to get it back.


    I'm not sure what's causing this but I've also noticed an issue with the plug.

    When I plug it into the extension lead there's this slightly crackle noise and sometimes a little white spark. So I changed extension lead same! Changed the ps4 power lead itself same....

    So overall I've no idea what's going on as the machine was only bought during this year and it's all in perfect condition otherwise.

    I would boot in safe mode and see if it starts ok.

    I would also check disconnect and reconnect the hdmi lead.

    If it flashes blue and then goes white then it is starting properly - if theres no display its a visual issue..hdmi lead or maybe the output on the console. I would focus on those and not the power lead.

    I had this last night with my regular PS4, thought it was borked.
    Checked all the connections, booted into safe mode, reboot from there, all is well once again.

    I got it to work by taking hdmi out the back the ps4 then putting it back in.

    Is the cable faulty?

    How do I explain the power lead sparking?
