PlayStation 4 owners complain about problems with HDMI

At the start of sales of the PlayStation 4 game console, unforeseen problems arose. The first owners of the PlayStation 4 complain about problems with HDMI and displaying images on an external display. Among the owners of faulty consoles were resources Kotaku and IGN, specializing in computer games. The malfunction was also noticed in demo models of the console for retail stores, writes the resource Electronista.

For example, one of the users of the social news site Reddit complains about problems with connecting PS4 to a television panel. When you press the console enable button, the image is not displayed on the screen, he writes.

Kotaku blog editor Stephen Totilo complains that the first game console he received from Sony refused to work with the TV set in his office. The second console, which he connected with his colleague, also refused to work. As it turned out, the matter is in a faulty HDMI connector that was not in contact with the HDMI cable. The remaining four consoles that Kotaku tested worked fine.

IGN news reporters face a similar problem:

Our game console stopped working after upgrading to version 1.50. We tried to fix the problem in different ways: we changed the HDMI cable, input connector, TV, loaded the disc, connected the console to the Internet and tried to restart the console by pressing and holding the power button for seven seconds while the system was loading. Nothing helped. Oddly enough, after a slight pressure on the surface of the console on the TV screen for an instant, the active menu appeared.

Three Target stores in Virginia (USA) contacted by Electronista reporters confirmed that the Sony PlayStation 4 console had an HDMI connector problem.

Head of Shuhei Yoshida Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios tweeted that the company is investigating the issue:

Be sure that we investigate all issues related to the PS4. The number of such incidents is small compared to the number of game consoles supplied. We believe that these are isolated cases.
