Won't use lan, or an external. But no rest mode. Shit.
Don't even have it yet and I'm scared its gonna fuck up.

Welp my PS5 is dead

Not defending Sony. It sucks that a lot of PS5's are having issues and I don't doubt that. Just poking fun at the fact that a lot of these triggers are basic things that shouldn't be the case in the first place.
I've got my PS5 plugged into the LAN as well as an external HDD. Hoping my shit doesn't break either.
Using LAN and an external drive are pretty common. Without reading the entire thread can someone point me in the direction of why these are contributing towards hardware failure and aren't just coincidental?
Literally every single PS5 is still under warranty. No one is losing their money. Besides, I'm not dismissing anything.
Has there been any issues with the DE that we know of?
Also should it be horizontal or vertical? Maybe the liquid metal is being an issue?

Just as someone else mentioned. This situation with the PS5 is nothing to worry about. Shit happens.
I had a scary moment during initial setup where I had plugged in my ethernet cable between the PS4 and PS5, ready to do the direct transfer. It just sort of hung at the start background for ages with no response... I eventually took the cable out and hardbooted and setup wifi FIRST then tried the cable transfer and wala it worked... I think there is a bug there with not having wifi network going or something.. it was not a nice first experience! I think it was a forever network timeout or something (no network).
I understand! Thank you! Here I was panicking lol.
Fried logic boards, flexgate (display ribbon issue which eventually leads to complete display failure), bad keyboards, phantom touches on the iPhone X etc etc.
Nobody's above some early hardware failures. They tend to get ironed out over time.
I'll be using that thing for 24 hours straight, putting Miles Morales to sleep, transferring saves via USB, all that. If it's faulty I want to know ASAP as I have 12 months of warranty anyway.
I've been rocking my launch base PS4 for seven years, using rest mode all the time and all the features the console has to offer me, I'm not treating the PS5 like a crystal glass, it simply has to work while in normal circumstances. And all things in this thread are normal. Rest mode works, if it didn't, it wouldn't be a feature.

I remember this thread from gaf lol
It's exactly like this one. People getting anxious over anything.
Is there a list or post anywhere detailing the issues caused by the external hard drives and lan etc?
So to sum up what I've seen across threads:
Don't use an external HDD
Spider man remastered has a bug causing crashes (both in and out of rest mode?)
my PS5 arrives in a couple hours. Should I be good to transfer PS4 data or avoid that as well? (Transfer would be over wifi)

So an external HDD should not be used for playing ps4 games? (At least for now)
Its really a bummer

If it breaks because of rest mode is a defective unit, wouldn't you like to know sooner than later and exchange it?
When I get my PS5, I'm going to operate it as if nothing bad might happen and assume the best.
If it bricks, it bricks. Yolo.

Rest mode bricking for sure means a faulty ps5.
The external hdd/sdd problems probably also, but could be firmware related.

Not really, if its just a software issue and not hardware, it can be fixed without having me return the thing and wait for a new one
My near-launch PS4 had issues for years. It randomly turned itself on and off all the time. It was crazy.
I finally had enough and replaced it with a Pro last year.
These things happen. I'm almost sure we are not going to see Xbox 360 and PS3 levels of failure ever again though. Sucks for those that are having issues, but I'm sure the console manufacturers will make good on this.

If rest mode was a firmware thing, we would hear about ps5's breaking everywhere.
Before I turned my console on yesterday I had plugged in my external drive I had used on PS4, and I had no issues. In the menu I removed it for a time and unplugged it. When the night was up and I was going to bed, I plugged it back in while the console was off.
This morning, I turn on my PS5 and the controllers will not work at all, both of them would just blink if pressed and the TV just displayed the "press PS button to begin" thing. At this point I'm like "no no no no no no no" and turn it back off (button on console worked just fine).
I unplugged the console for a minute then plugged it back in and everything works again. I think I'll leave the external drive off for a little while lol if I get an itch to play a PS4 game I'll just download it.

I have mine and that's exactly how I'm treating it. I feel better about it bricking because I'm guaranteed a new one, rather than having to fight for one right now. I still do hope it doesn't break but at least if it does now, I don't have to worry about it in the future.
Ok it seems im safe then. I played astro for a bit and put it into rest mode for a minute twice, both times came out without issues
For what it's worth I have no external hard drive and my controller just started to do the same thing
Interesting, do you charge the controller with the wire plugged into the console or the charging station? I have two controllers so I'm using the station.
Wrong.
Please don't peddle positions without data to back it up.
Many more not exhibiting issues, still al launch edition issue?
Okay. So I mentioned earlier I get no audible dialogue whatsoever with Sackboy cutscenes. Well, it's not just Sackboy. Having been annoyed by it, I turned on Spider-Man Remastered right now and it's the exact same thing. No sound other than music in the opening intro cutscene. No idea what is going on here to cause this, but it's something console specific. I've been going through all of the sound stuff I can't find anything that should be causing it.
you can dl saves from cloud. did it last night for my mhw saves.
Mine has been connected via LAN for going on 36 hours with zero issues. What problems is it meant to cause?
I've also been putting it into Rest Mode regularly.

It looks like the actual issues are:
Rest mode with spider man remastered (game bug)
And possibly using an external HDD for some people.
They're referring to any drive, HDD or SSD, connected externally.
I am going to plug it in next week when I return. I think the main issues are external drives and PS4 data transfer, and something with rest mode for one game.
Eh..rest mode bricking the console and external drives bricking the console are in many reports by now, i think this is definitely something to worry about.
also, i´ve read quite a few reports of artifacting PS5s. this thing is coming in hot for sure.
I was actually using a third party charging station. Maybe that has something to do with it?
Is it truly rest mode bricking and ext. drives being the culprit?
There is really no substantial evidence and I know we can better be safe than sorry, but you all make it sound that 80% of the PS5's are bricked or DOA.
That post blew up. Are there some comprehensive threads somewhere with all known issues for PS5 (and XSX)?The only other case I've seen is this one on Reddit:
r/PS5 - My PS5 seems to be bricked after an hour of play :(

This is the biggest downside of buying launch consoles.
I can't imagine the fault rate for these consoles is higher than it normally would be any other time.
At any other time in the console's lifecycle, a faulty unit isn't going to be a problem, you just get it swapped out for a new one. But at launch, with no inventory to replace the faulty consoles with... yeah people are going to report their issues more and that might make it seem like it's some kind of endemic problem, when in reality it's statistically probably nothing.
Still sucks though. Launch has to be the worst time to have a faulty console.

Excuse me? It was a question, not a statement of fact. It's a fact that a high profile Youtube reviewer had his PS5 brick on him during review. Then this guy and others are reporting similar issues. Maybe it isn't but evidence says there might be something there. Trying to gather more info. But sure, be a defensive fanboy.
Both machines have had a few failures, for them to be able to fail to start, instead of fail to a safe mode fallback of some sort in 2020 is very bad. Old PC's could at least boot on some level because they had fallbacks.
These manufactures should have built in some fail safes, I'm sure there are a couple, but they didn't help OP at all.
