EVER WONDERED WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU TURN ON YOUR PS4 WITHOUT A HARD DRIVE? WATCH THE VIDEO TO FIND OUT! -------------------------------------------------------------- ► FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER! / spllitz
Love Playstation Live a little me too, it treat it like it is the only thing in the world that matters, i have even bought controller cases not to get scratched lol
Sounds like your hdmi port is going out. If you put tension on it, it will break. They didn't support it very well so they have the chance of breaking. Just don't unplug the hdmi cord or move it around and it shouldn't get worse but it's like a $50 job to fix. Just be careful with the port
It is completely harmless the only thing the hard drive has is the os and game data if you take it out it does no harm as long as you don’t damage the hard drive itself
how would your games be deleted they are all on the hard drive saved. the hard drive is the memory of the console it would not remember if you fucked with it without the Hardrive
I have never thought to myself what happens if you turn on a PS4 with no hard drive. Mostly because I know that without a hard drive it has no operating system to run, that's why you got a black screen.
It was time saving video, I have my PS4 not booting, suspecting the hard drive was the problem, but now I know there is another problem.. thanks for posting..!
It will never boot up Furthermore, the PS4's hard drive (as well as PS3'S Hard Drive) is encrypted and can only be decrypted by the original PlayStation (There is a soft to read ps3 HDD but not ps4's one)
I just ordered a ps4 pro. It's the first console I will have in over 5 yrs since my third PS3 crashed due to a botched firmware update which killed my hard drive coincidentally the same week Sony introduced the super slim version of the console after having issues with two other PS3 consoles including getting the Yellow Light of death on one of them, I got a bad taste in my mouth. I'm hoping the issues that plagued PS3 won't be present in PS4, but one thing I wouldn't do is remove the hard drive. I thought about getting a new hard drive, but seeing as this happened to many consoles prior to the holiday season in 2013, I was suspicious. Hopefully, five years and hopefully an improved console will solve what soured me. I'm a lifelong gamer and have been a Sony gamer for 25 yrs. I grew up on Atari, NES, SNES, and Genesis. Somy by far has always had better technology, but for some reason they stumbled when it came to hardware with PS3. Maybe by the time PS5 comes out it will be something along the lines of solely using cloud-based storage, which would theoretically eliminate the need for a hard drive. I know people who still have the consoles I listed and they still work almost 40 years later in the case of Atari so it would be great if Sony were able to find the perfect blend of advanced technology and hardware durability like they had with PS1 and PS2. Glad you didn't ruin your console. Part of the reason beyond the bad taste the botched firmware update with my last PS3 was I was waiting for the right time to buy a PS4. Consoles nowadays are expensive and per the price consumers are asked to pay, hardware durability should be an essential priority. In fairness, I haven't heard anything really negative about PS4 so we'll see if it is an improvement over my last experience. If I didn't have issues with PS3, I probably would have been one of the first to have a PS4 so the gamer in me is happy to be getting off the bench.
the ps4 has something called rom. This part has somewhat of the software but then everything elsewill be stored on hard drive. Think as if it a ram that can not be deleted. without the ROM the ps4 is useless.
Explanation of the ps symbol showing, the ps has a secondary OS which is activated in sleep mode so that you can download things in sleep mode this is all that is at work, happy days.
It's not an os. It's what the IT world calls a bios. All "computers" have them. Even cell phones. It's a service to start up everything at startup. Without it, your system is a brick
GOLD SAVAGE MLG GAMER Err i own a ps4 and like it much better then xbox. These types of videos he makes are ok, but the ones like 'PLAYING ROBLOX ON PS4" just annoy me a bit.
iiBombz Gaming at least i have the slim and it is a bit harder to "accidentally" take out the hard drive and completely "accidentally" again to turn it on without it
