My cat knocked my PS4 Pro on the ground and now it's a lot quieter, should I be worried?

[Ricky_R]

Wish I had your cat.

 

[Sleve McDichael]

Screw the PS4. You should be asking why your cat felt the need to do this. Was he angry? Was there too much unspent energy? Was he trying to get your attention because he needed some love?

My cat wakes in up the middle of the night and goes insane. She jumps on the curtains, bats around anything that will make noise, knocks shit over.
This is a regular thing, but she'd always stay away from the electronics.

 

[SephiZack]

I come to a cat thread and there are no cat pics. I'm disappointed, OP.

 

[Kaz Frankenstein]

If it's the cat that's now quieter, I fear the PS4 has knocked it out.

[Sanctuary]

Just tried this and while my PS4 is indeed a lot quiter it also doesn't turn on anymore.

So you wouldn't recommend then? Asking for someone else.

 

[Sleve McDichael]

Also, I'm putting it through a little stress test right now, and the rear fan seems to be working. (is there only one?)
Intake fans, it's hard to say.

So.. maybe she fixed it?

 

[brokenswiftie]

The fall probably unclogged the dust
Or your fan runs slower now

 

[Gestault]

Get that cat some crab, they've earned it.

1. how did your cat knock it on to the ground? did you have it vertical?
2. why would you have it vertical when you have a cat?
3. if it wasnt vertical how big is your cat?
4. why no photos of said cat?
5. I hear PS5 is out next year so not that long of a wait to replace it

 

[Poison Jam]

The cat must have gotten tired of the noise, and decided to fix it herself.

 

[Musubi]

Congratulations. Your cat is a certified PS4 repairman.

 

[Phellps]

Hah, yeah, better get it checked, OP. There is a chance those fans aren't running anymore, or not fast enough to keep it cool.

 

[Torpedo Vegas]

At OP's suggestion I threw my PS4 Pro on the ground and now it won't start.

 

[Aztechnology]

Give her all your love

 

[Deleted member 1003]

Where's my cat?

 

[Kyle Cross]

Was it vertical? If not, is your cat swol as fuck?

 

[Poison Jam]

Could the impact have loosen the top off? That would allow for more airflow.

 

[GlassEmpires]

i tend to get worried when cats go silent

 

[ldcommando]

Cat threads without pics are a banable offense

 

[cowbanana]

I wish my cat would fix my piece of shit jet engine PS4 Pro.

But my cat is useless when it comes to fixing garbage hardware.

OP's cat

 

[Tarinus]

You should have applied those stability updates.

 

[Dinjooh]

Well it's probably a bit ashamed. Wait an hour or two and it'll start meowing again.

 

[SofNascimento]

Yes, having a cat as a pet is a terrible sign!

 

[Charismagik]

Every ps4 pro should come with a cat

 

[Punished Dan]

Congrats. Your cat has improved your Playstation 4 Pro

 

[Weebos]

It could have dislodged something that was stuck. That or broken the fan, I would check to make sure.

 

[Dremorak]

does your cat take appointments or.....

1. Yes
2. Having it lay flat is awkward with my current setup
3. For a full-grown cat, shes tiny. We rescued her and had to bottle feed her when she was weeks old. I'm sure that's why.
4. Lazy
5. Hopefully my PS4 will hold on long enough.

 

[AxkilAvenger]

Haven't you been updating your PS4 OP?..you know..for stability purposes

 

[Pennywise]

Also, I'm putting it through a little stress test right now, and the rear fan seems to be working. (is there only one?)

There's only one fan.

 

[Mack]

Well my 2 year old son did the same thing, but it didn't help. Might try the cat thing as I have some of those furrballs roaming my house.

You can't make a cat thread without cat photos OP.

We'll wait.

 

[Bunkles]

Nah just keep playing as usual.

 

[mrmickfran]

Pros are fuckin heavy

Your cat is SWOLE

 

[Deleted member 22585]

Can I borrow your cat?

 

[Starwing]

I would check to see if you can still hear the fan. If not, your cat may have broke it or other parts of your PS4 Pro.

Oh lawd, he comin'!

 

[Deleted member 23075]

Did the PS4 land feet down?

 

[ozfunghi]

How much for you cat?

(Not for myself, i don't own a PS4, but people could rent the cat for a weekend).

 

[Deimos]

Does she do PS3s?

 

[Shoichi]

Double check your fan if its still spinning. Could have just dislodged a clog of dust from a vent, or your fan may be running slower (resulting in higher temps) after the drop.

My PS4 Pro sounds like my PC when my GPU is overclocked at 80%+ fan speed...

 

[Aveis]

Does your cat repair normal ps4's as well?id welcome some help

 

[Frank]

I've had a Pro for 2 weeks now, and it's been silent the whole time. I've had marathon sessions. No noise. Should I be worried or have I been blessed by Cerny?

 

[Makoto Yuki]

Did your cat look like this?

 

[Karlinel]

At first I read it as "my car knocked my ps4 on the ground", and I was amazed at the durability of your console

 

[Sleve McDichael]

Updated OP with pics, she doesn't give two fucks.

 

[Ciao]

I don't see regret in her eyes.

 

[Hugare]

Probably means that your fan is not working, so yeah, should be worried

 

[Deleted member 11370]

The exact same happened to me.

Although it wasn't my cat. I just changed the thermal paste and cleaned all the dust from inside my Pro.
