If your console has no power at all, run through these checks before making a post.


It’ll save time and makes it much easier for people to help you properly.




Basic checks​

  • Try a different power cable
  • Try a different socket
  • Check for any signs of life (lights, fan spin, beep)
  • Make sure the power button is actually working



When you make a post, include:​

  • Console model (PS5, Series S, etc.)
  • What happened before it stopped working
  • Any signs of life at all
  • Whether the power supply has been tested
  • Any previous repair attempts

The more detail you give, the better the advice you’ll get.




Common causes​

  • Blown fuse
  • Short on a power rail
  • Faulty power supply
  • Liquid damage
  • Failed components on the board



Useful tools​

  • Multimeter
  • Known working power cable
  • Basic tools to open the console



One thing to avoid​

Posts like “no power help” with no details are very hard to diagnose.




Final note​

You don’t need experience to post here. If you’re unsure about anything, just say - someone will help you work through it.
