How to Know if Your PS4 is Damaged

Knowing whether your PlayStation 4 (PS4) console is damaged can be overwhelming, especially if you encounter issues with your device after a sudden crash or faulty performance. Asurion and uBreakiFix, leading repair service companies, provide a detailed walkthrough on how to diagnose damage on your PS4 consoles.

Blue Light vs. White Light

Initially, you may encounter abnormal behavior when booting up your PS4. Unlike the normal LED light bluish color that momentarily pauses before changing to white light, your PS4 flashes blue light continuously, but fails to switch to a white light. This could be a first sign of a serious fault, which is potentially caused by hardware malfunctions or electrical issues. Further investigation is required to pin point the problems leading this behaviour.
