So I was playing a game yesterday, and all of a sudden my PS5 freezes - and I couldn’t even turn it off (holding power button for 20 seconds did not work), so I had to unplug the power cord.
Since then, the console doesn’t turn on at all (no lights or beeps at all) and leaving it unplugged overnight did not help. Tried different power cables and different sockets, still the same result.
It is out of warranty by a few months so that’s great, and Sony is asking me to pay 210 GBP for repair/refurbished replacement which is insane, I feel like I’m getting scammed.
Literally no issues with the PS5 before this, it has frozen a couples times before (rarely) but I was able to turn it off and back on. Just out of completely nowhere it dies like this. I’ve only had it for just over a year too.
Is there anything I can do? Man this sucks
