I wish i could like this video 1000x... so i didnt touch my ps5 for about a year an a half... and lots of dust build up inside it and i had to wipe of the dust and i cleaned using a brush and those big fat tissues with sanitizer lol.. and even also had to clean those hdmi and power cables.. when i plugged it.. my tv screen was like flashing and only black screen was showing and ps5 had that solid white light on.. i was scared for life and thought the worst outcome came true.. thought my ps5 was finished and cooked.. until i watched this video and switched my hdmi cable from the tv and plugged that side to my ps5 and turned it back on again.. blue light came in and boom everything started normally... THANKKKKK YOU SOOO MUCH MY GUY
I did the same exact as you right now lol it worked for me as well I was like damn even after cleaning this mofo for an hour it wasn’t connecting but I got it now!
Thank you I’ve pluggied everything waited a couple minutes and plugged it back and helped. I appreciate it. Two years later in this video is still helping people.
This has happened to me a couple times and everytime its something with the TV. So i just unplugged the TV and plugged it right back in and boom its works!!
Man, thanks for the tips… I had done the power disconnection several times but never thought to reverse the hdmi cable. I also went to a different hdmi port on the TV. Worked fine afterwards…. Thanks again
Thanks for taking the time out to make this video. I did all the steps up to resting the PS5 which I didn’t want to do. The first comment on this video said to try and unplug the tv so I did that and the problem was fixed!! I have a Sony X90K, if anyone has a similar set up try this too 😎
Christ I just spent an hour turning it off and on again and trying to boot into safe mode like ps website suggested. Found this video? I flipped my hdmi cable and boom its working 😂 saved me a small fortune buddy. Thanks
After going through google, reddit and TH-cam this video actually solved my problem. Really well explained and took me through the different steps which eventually solved my problem. HDMI cable and changing the port.
My PS5 got the white light 5 times and the blue light once, and it isn't even 7 months old yet and I didn't do anything to it. My 15 year old PS3 has been used as a server, used for playing games that use a lot of processing and graphical power, and transported in a truck and a ship, and guess what? It didn't even have any problems at all, and it is still good to this day.
I just want to say thank you for this video and thank you for helping me fix my PlayStation 5. It was working great for a year straight. I turned it off one time when I went to turn it back on. It had the white light of death and I started to panic. I'm thinking Jesus criminy. I don't have $500 right now but I also don't want to not be able to enjoy my ps5. So I did what you said and second time I tried it at worked when I've seen that repair screen come up I was like oh yeah so thank you very much. God bless. Have a good year
Thanks so much for this video.We too had white light.We turned off the tv - powered it off completely and switched on again-it worked.However it always says repairing console storage before starting
Can't get to safe mode--a catch-22. Despite doing all the changes outs and restarts, every time, I get the quick ps logo and then to black screen, and no safe mode comes up despite holding down through second beep on restart. Any way to hard reset without bringing anything up on a screen? Is there any kind of button or method to do this on the console itself?
You are a life safer. I was playing horizon and there was no sound. I try to restart it and there goes white light. Bit panicking. Try to plug and unplug it but didnt work. Never cross my mind it would be the tv that cause the issue. Thanks man.
with mine just happened an strange thing...the console going to rest mode got the white light on it instead of the orange...i was like wtf is going on here? trying to update through the safe mode right now
I have my ps 5 boots with blue color then turn white with no signals on Tv. I tried other hdmi cables but no fix. I hope someone could help me with this.
I just got a ps5 slim digital yesterday. It turns on but doesn’t come on screen. I’ve tried everything. And it now ain’t even going into safe mode! What do I do?!?!?!
lmao of course it was something simple like my TV's HDMI port dying...I never would have thought it was a TV problem. This video gave me the idea to try a different port so thanks! You saved me a lot of anxiety!
If you’re still having a problem try unplugging your tv from the outlet. Plug it back in after a few seconds, turn your tv on then PlayStation. This worked for me
OMG THANK YOU! I just bought my PS5 two weeks ago and you saved a gamestop employee from getting an earfull because this just happened and I thought something was wrong. Easy fix just unplugged everything and its working. Thanks so much.
I tried all of this and it still didn’t solve my issues. Then I read up that it goes into standby mode when there’s a mismatch with TV resolution settings and PS5 settings which is caused usually due to the HDMI cord. I replaced the stock HDMI that came with the PS5 to Belkin 2.1 8k HDMI. Have had no issues with PS5 going on standby ever since. So maybe worth trying.
I don't understand. The white light is on meaning the PS5 is on. There are no issues with playing games with the light on. It is blue on startup and then white when it is booted up and running.
Honestly I figured out (at least for mine) that I didn't have the HDMI plugged-in enough into the PS5's HDMI port (maybe that's the case for a lot of folks, I dunno).
i’m super confused i’ve never had a playstation product before my controller can turn different colors like orange when charging blue when turning on and when i played fortnite it turned pink because that was my associated color but when i’m at the home screen it’s just white is that bad?
Tried flipping the hdmi cable as suggested but it didnt do anything. Should I replace it and does it have to be a certain brand or will any brand work?
My ps5 is weird I thought it was hmdi brought a new one tried to go into safe mode but it’s not going into safe mode so I don’t know what to do it was working yesterday morning fine
Tenía meses sin usar mi PS5, por la luz blanca según Google decía que el problema era la tarjeta del HDMI y me costaría $3,500 pesos mexicanos, además el centro de atención de SONY me queda a 15km de distancia, entonces uno de mis mejores amigos me compartió este video y Kaboom! Encendió como si nada hubiera pasado 🥲
My bf got mad at me and literally cut the ps5 cord. I found another one to power it on but now hdmi is acting like it doesn’t want to show signal to tv. Idk what to do😩. I switched hdmis, im in a whole different house now with a whole different tv and it still isn’t working . I can’t even get the PlayStation sign to come up.
my console will not boot into safe mode. I don't have a white light or anything else. It's always the normal blue light. It continues to say no signal. I've used different TV's, different cables, different ports. Nothing works. Although the new TV did recognize that a ps5 was plugged into it, but still getting the no signal errror. This ps5 is days old and was working yesterday, i left home without turning it off, the TV timed out and turned off, and now the ps5 won't display on anything I plug it into. I'm stumped. Ev eryone's video tells me the same steps to get into safe mode. It doesn't work. I unplugged everything from the TV and PS5, even my router. waited 20 minutes tried again. Still the same issue.
I got my playstation 5 and its showing white light on both Controller and Console And i dont know how to solve this problem Plzzzzzzzz tell me how we can solve this
i dropped my ps5, console is booting but no screen and white light :'( ( a frame fell and made it fall since sony decided to make a console too big to fit in furniture

Man, thanks for the tips… I had done the power disconnection several times but never thought to reverse the hdmi cable. I also went to a different hdmi port on the TV. Worked fine afterwards…. Thanks again
Same for me
Unplugging the TV in addition to PS5 did the trick.. weird. Thanks!
Thanks for taking the time out to make this video. I did all the steps up to resting the PS5 which I didn’t want to do. The first comment on this video said to try and unplug the tv so I did that and the problem was fixed!! I have a Sony X90K, if anyone has a similar set up try this too 😎
I have a sony (x85k I think) and the same thing happens to me! You would think their tv would work best with their gaming system!
This fixed it for me too with my samsung tv
You just helped me a lot I appreciate it
Christ I just spent an hour turning it off and on again and trying to boot into safe mode like ps website suggested. Found this video? I flipped my hdmi cable and boom its working 😂 saved me a small fortune buddy. Thanks
Same g it's so annoying
But mine was all white
I just got a PS5 a few minutes ago and had this issue. Swapping the hdmi cables worked thank you so much
Tried unplugging and restarting ps5 so many times, didn’t think about unplugging the tv! 🙈 Thanks buddy!!!
After going through google, reddit and TH-cam this video actually solved my problem. Really well explained and took me through the different steps which eventually solved my problem. HDMI cable and changing the port.
I was about to throw a temper tantrum😂😂 man ur a life saver

Something that worked for me was just turning my TV off, then back on (while the PS5 was still on and white).
Thanks this worked for me
This worked for me too, such a weird error. Thanks for the tip!!

Saved me. Had to change the resolution in safe mode.
I just ran into this problem and you fixed it for me thank you very much now I’m a subscriber 💯👏🏾
Amazing video! I am beyond grateful for your insight!
Thanks so much for this video.We too had white light.We turned off the tv - powered it off completely and switched on again-it worked.However it always says repairing console storage before starting
Do you know why when I’m in game my ps5 controller shows up like the ps4 controller button colour on the game/ TV?
My man, this worked instantly (turning off the T.V.). Thanks, mate
Thank you for this fix!

I'm having the same issue. did you ever figure it out?
Thank you so much this really helped me 🎉
Thank you! Had no video and just the white light today. Resetting TV and ps5 fixed it
You are a life safer. I was playing horizon and there was no sound. I try to restart it and there goes white light. Bit panicking. Try to plug and unplug it but didnt work. Never cross my mind it would be the tv that cause the issue. Thanks man.
Same thing happened and my heart was almost in my pants. Tv remote presses to another input
with mine just happened an strange thing...the console going to rest mode got the white light on it instead of the orange...i was like wtf is going on here? trying to update through the safe mode right now
You ever fixed it?
@@neverknowsbest444 i've take it to the technician. the circuit responsible by the light wasn't functional
OMFG BRO MINE WAS FROZEN AND I COULDNT GET IT TO WORK FOR HOURS AAND I MEAN HOURS AND IVE WATCHED MAYBE 20 VIDS IN ALL AND THIS ONE HELPED
I have my ps 5 boots with blue color then turn white with no signals on Tv. I tried other hdmi cables but no fix. I hope someone could help me with this.
Did you find any solution? I’m having the same issue with mine
Ya this is what mines is doing
Same. I’ve fixed it a couple times by basically doing what he says here ^^ but not working today…
I just got a ps5 slim digital yesterday. It turns on but doesn’t come on screen. I’ve tried everything. And it now ain’t even going into safe mode! What do I do?!?!?!
Thanks helped. Was a tv ps5 sync issue 😀
When I go to the safe mode it says connect controller but when I connect it the controller light goes white
god dam being born in 1994 was so good i did the n64 and game boy thing of blow into the ports of the HDMI port and it worked lol
for me it is the hdmi that came with the ps5 that didnt give me any signal, tried the hdmi of my ps4 and it worked instantly.
Omg switching the hmdi & unplugging everything including the internet worked.
Where did you get your controller 🤔
lmao of course it was something simple like my TV's HDMI port dying...I never would have thought it was a TV problem. This video gave me the idea to try a different port so thanks! You saved me a lot of anxiety!
Thanks for this, mine is working again 🎉
I have taken all the steps, and it works but the white light is still on my ps5 and the joystick. Do you know why?
Did everything nothing work
If you’re still having a problem try unplugging your tv from the outlet. Plug it back in after a few seconds, turn your tv on then PlayStation. This worked for me
@@darrylroberts5475 bro u actually saved my month I wanna send u a cookie or somethin
@@yaboycjm5581 Happy to help friend
@@darrylroberts5475 same just helped me weird how it just worked tbh
@@darrylroberts5475 thanks so much, I think it might be more of a problem with the TV communicating to the PlayStation then the PlayStation itself
lol solid white light. My wife unplugged the HDMI cable.
MY HEART DROPED I JUST GOT MY GAME ON 12/25/2022 I ONLY HAD IT 3 DAYS NOW NO LIE I THOUGHT IT WAS BROKE😂😂😂OHHH I KAN BREATHE AGAN THANK YOU!!!
Worked thank you man
OMG THANK YOU! I just bought my PS5 two weeks ago and you saved a gamestop employee from getting an earfull because this just happened and I thought something was wrong. Easy fix just unplugged everything and its working. Thanks so much.
Did you buy it new?
I tried all of this and it still didn’t solve my issues. Then I read up that it goes into standby mode when there’s a mismatch with TV resolution settings and PS5 settings which is caused usually due to the HDMI cord. I replaced the stock HDMI that came with the PS5 to Belkin 2.1 8k HDMI. Have had no issues with PS5 going on standby ever since. So maybe worth trying.
If it does it again I’ll consider trying this thank you
You are a life saver man ! I made an order with it and worked when everything else failed
I bought the exact same HDMI cord. no luck. I have a brand new large expensive samsung 4K TV. I'm so lost here.
You fixed it. THANK YOU!!!
Thank you you're a legend
It worked! Switched the HDMI and were up
Thank you so much
Dude your legit a life saver! Thank you so much
THANK YOU SO MUCH! i thought my ps5 was permanently broken and i couldnt play ever again.
My problem is wired my ps5 is running good and it hasn’t crashed and it’s on but the light isn’t working idk why
Same problem but ps4. No video just keeps turning on and off
He did a video on that yesterdya
dude thank you so much
I don't understand. The white light is on meaning the PS5 is on. There are no issues with playing games with the light on. It is blue on startup and then white when it is booted up and running.

Was the hdcp 1.4 that fixed video output thanks
U switched it to 1.4 or switched from 1.4
Tried flipping the hdmi cable as suggested but it didnt do anything. Should I replace it and does it have to be a certain brand or will any brand work?
I've also unplugged it and it takes a long time to turn back on. HDMI port feels like it's loose too. I should probably call Sony for a repair.
I've tried ur suggest to plug and unplugged the port and other, but it didnt work tho. Any other tips 😢😢
I watched like 15 videos on how to fix this. Did all that you said and it still didn’t work. Realised my TV was not on
I’ve never used remote play before, so I can’t do it now feel like I’ve run out of options
I’d recommend to everyone to completely unplug everything, even your tv wait 60 seconds and then try again.
My ps5 was running fine. No freeze nothing but still shows white light
My ps5 is weird I thought it was hmdi brought a new one tried to go into safe mode but it’s not going into safe mode so I don’t know what to do it was working yesterday morning fine
