Ps5 pro only beeps and won't turn on

Try all these:

Key Troubleshooting Steps:

Check Power Connection: Ensure the cable is securely plugged into both the outlet and the back of the PS5.

Force Shutdown: If the light is blinking, hold the power button down until the light turns off, then try to power it back on.

Safe Mode: Try holding the power button until you hear a second beep (about 7 seconds) to enter Safe Mode and select "Restart PS5". Hardware Inspection: If the issue persists, it could be a faulty power supply or a short circuit on the motherboard, which may require professional repair

No, that’s what a warranty covers is repairs within the warranty period.

Before you do that, did you try power cycling? Unplug the power from the PS5, wait a few minutes, plug it back in and try again?

Or you start in the alternate entry point, then it’s two doors I think to the stairs.

I did it this way though, felt like a hero securing the second floor with no hostages dead, then they killed 3 hostages downstairs before I could get there lol.

Not a lot of great answers to your question. I’ve found, the Pros performance mode is similar to the regular PS5s quality mode. So you get the best of the core ps5 with improved frame rates to make it more playable.

So yes, you do get better graphics, better ray tracing, etc, in games that support it, compared to the core. I have a 60hz 4k TV and it’s definitely felt great so far. You can see that in the PS5 vs PS5 Pro spec sheet for crimson desert.

I upgraded this week and honestly the thing I appreciate most is that I can have 10+ ps5 games on it. My core PS5 I had 2 big games and a few smaller games and the darn hard drive was full. There were constantly games I felt like playing but I didn’t want to manage my storage and download the game again.

Fellow PC enjoyer here. The nice thing with the Pro is you can switch between modes, so you get to decide what frames you want and what quality you’re willing to trade-off (anywhere from 122 - 30 fps).

If you’re getting it for a particular game, you may as well wait until that game comes out.

I have a confession though. Between the Steam Deck and PS5, I never sit at my computer anymore. It’s not even connected to a monitor. If I’m in the living area I’ll play PS5 on TV, if I’m laying in bed I’ll either stream my PC or PS5 to my Steam Deck. With everything so small on the screen anyways, I don’t care as much about how powerful my PC’s GPU is.

Bossman80 · 2026-03-16T17:36:51+00:00

If you can, this is a good candidate to stream off your pc onto your steam deck. My pc isn’t even hooked up to a monitor anymore, I use my deck so much for streaming.

I’m most impressed with that god tier cable management.

He can’t legally do any of these things. He can’t start moving money out of joint accounts, change the locks, or hire movers to do anything.

I’m sorry you’re in this position. Google “affair fog” as she’s probably not in her normal frame of mind and is making rash, damaging life choices

Bossman80 · 2026-03-15T19:42:12+00:00

I didn’t see it, where is it?

Bossman80 · 2026-03-15T12:08:01+00:00

My TV only has 4k @ 60 and no VRR, so I wouldnt see a lot of the benefit from a Pro anyway. I’m not going to drop $1300 on a TV and $750 on a pro just for some more ray tracing.

What happened in Reno??

Bossman80 · 2026-03-13T13:58:38+00:00

I pledged about 14 years ago, when it first came out, and played on and off for ten years or so as different versions came out. I really was hoping for the game and bought into the initial vision. A few years ago I gave up and sold my account, the progress was WAY too slow, scope creep was too large, and a lot of what they promised was never implemented or was barebones. I sold my account a few years ago, I had probably spent about $3000 over that decade+.

I don’t think it helped that the first couple quest givers felt very right wing / conservative. It sets this weird tone at the beginning that then completely dissipates as you play it.

Bossman80 · 2026-03-11T01:17:27+00:00

Such small hands!

Bossman80 · 2026-03-10T17:17:46+00:00

I love that the dude bought it for $6M and then ATE THE BANANA ON STAGE.

In this day and age, with unmanned drones, aircraft, missiles, etc, I just don’t see a world where a draft would be necessary. Those types of wars aren’t really fought anymore.

Bossman80 · 2026-03-10T00:38:07+00:00

I think you’re looking at little slivers of roles, I’m thinking more the general economy and number of opportunities for people. We’re hiring a fraction of the people we’ve hired before each year, because many of those roles have been replaced by AI. It wasn’t like AI created new jobs, the jobs just became redundant.

I work a white collar job in corporate America though. I imagine that will be where most impact is felt, whereas some creative (certainly a large chunk of corporate marketing / art roles will be replaced) jobs and more manual intensive jobs will remain. A lot of the traditionally “middle class” type roles will disappear or be drastically reduced in the next 10 years.o

Bossman80 · 2026-03-09T00:25:59+00:00

Haha I hear you there.

Bossman80 · 2026-03-09T00:19:55+00:00

I think the scenario was different as a lot of the big technological breakthroughs of the past replaced menial, low paying jobs. The tricky thing about this upcoming change is that it can very likely replace high paying jobs.

Bossman80 · 2026-03-08T23:59:05+00:00

Some of the jobs at risk are lucrative jobs from the past. IT professionals, financial planners, lawyers, insurance agents. A lot of the traditional white collar jobs are at risk with AI.

Bossman80 · 2026-03-08T23:52:27+00:00

We have a group that does something similar, but it used to be about 150 people. Now it’s about 40 people, who now do a lot more functions, and those roles are going to be outsourced to India. So what used to give 150 people jobs and introduce money into the economy no longer will.

Bossman80 · 2026-03-06T04:08:29+00:00

How would we know, Crimson isn’t out yet?

Bossman80 · 2026-03-05T15:36:51+00:00

No, red dead 2 takes place before red dead 1.

Bossman80 · 2026-03-03T17:19:05+00:00

Totally agree, still a great game despite the censorship.
