PS4 Shutting off Constantly Issue

[fevera1985]

I was given a PlayStation 4 with no hdd. I was told that when they were updating it, the ps4 shut off, so original hdd was removed, I bought a new hard drive for it, and downloaded the ps4 upstate software etc.. to install the new hdd.  But I'm having a problem with the ps4 not staying on. Each time I press the power it turns on and then shuts off, barely a second, does it each time I try to power it. It makes a little sound and shuts off. I don't know how to make it stop shutting off, I can't install the new hdd if it keeps shutting off all the time,  any ideas or anyone knows how to fix that issue without sending to Sony will help. Thanks.

sounds just like what the PS3 do when they get a YLOD ,  possibly  a bad power supply also ..

You think so?  I've never had a ps3 that gotten a ylod before

I would do some research on it and see for sure. let us know what you find out incase it is more then just the power supply hopefully this helps you

This is not a power supply issue

i think this is power supply issue, short circuit protection or something else works and the power supply turns off. What model is your console? do you know how to use a multimeter?

What this really is is a 5 year old thread guys.
