 What's up everyone? Takedown here. Welcome back to another video. Today I'm going to be talking about and explaining what to do if you are experiencing the black screen of death on your PlayStation 4. What the black screen of death is, is whenever you turn on your PlayStation 4, your TV screen will remain black. For some people, the audio of the PlayStation starting up will sound, whatever your background theme is, the sound that that makes, will play. Sometimes there's no audio at all. So the one thing I would recommend is to try all these quick and easy fixes first, before obviously taking it into somebody's repair. Because for the most parts, some of these quick and easy fixes will fix the issue and you don't have to spend any money. You don't have to take it into repairs. It's stuff that you can do yourself. So I definitely recommend trying these first before going that route. Let's get right into this. The first thing you're going to want to do if you're experiencing the black screen of death is to restart your PS4. To do this, with your PS4 turned on, you're going to want to press and hold the power button for seven seconds until you hear the second beep. Then you're going to want to release that button. After that, you're going to unplug the power cable for about 30 seconds. That will restart the PS4. Then after the 30 seconds, you're going to want to plug the PS4 back in and try to turn it on. If that does fix your issue, great. If not, move on to the next step. The next thing you're going to want to try is to change the resolution in safe mode. First thing you're going to want to do is to turn off your PlayStation 4. Then you're going to press and hold the power button until you hear two beeps. Once you hear two beeps, it should be launching into safe mode. If you do see it on your screen, then that is a great sign. Once you're in safe mode, if it is displayed on your screen, then you're going to want to connect your controller with the cable and you're going to want to press the PS button. Next, you're going to simply select change resolution and you're going to click OK. Your PS4 will then restart and it will let you select the resolution. Make sure you select whatever your TV is capable of outputting and that way it should all work. Now again, if you did try to go into safe mode to change the resolution and by accessing safe mode it still did not display on your screen, then I do recommend to check your HDMI cable and to check the outlets on the TV itself. It could be simply a faulty cable, so you can either swap out the cable with another cable you have or go and purchase a cheap HDMI cable to try that. If that does work for you, great. It was the HDMI cable. If not, I recommend checking the ports on your PlayStation 4 and the HDMI ports on your TV. If your TV does have other HDMI ports, simply swap out the ports. So instead of HDMI 1, switch it to HDMI 2 and see if your PS4 does work on that output setting. Now if you did try to access safe mode but still nothing displayed on your screen, there is still two things left to try, the last two things that you can try. The first thing is to check your HDMI cable. If you do have a spare one, a backup one, I do recommend just swapping that out just for a second to see if it is a faulty HDMI issue. If that doesn't work, then I recommend inspecting the HDMI ports on the PS4 and your TV to see if there is an issue there. If your TV does have more than one HDMI ports, instead of you using HDMI 1, just simply change it to HDMI 2, change your input settings and see if that does work for your PS4. If that does work, then that means that HDMI 1 slot for the TV is a faulty HDMI port. So hopefully some of these fixes did work for you, hopefully something worked for you. If not, I do apologize, not all of these quick and easy fixes work for everybody, but for the most part, for most people they do work. So if it worked for you, please leave a like and a comment and I'll see you guys in the next video. Please take care. Peace.
