Royal mail says they have delivered it on wednesday, still no update. Why?

Hey there! I'm having trouble with the PlayStation age checks. The code doesn't work, and the photos keep getting denied. Anyone able to help out? Thanks!

I’m not very knowledgeable about consoles, so I’d really appreciate some advice from people who know more about PS5s.

I was gifted a PS5 by a friend who bought it around 2023. She barely used it over the past year. It was mostly sitting in her living room TV stand and probably only turned on once or twice every couple of months.

When I received it, I had to store it for a couple more months because of a military PCS. After unpacking it, I noticed some light dust and figured it just needed a basic cleaning. I watched a few videos about cleaning it myself, but I was worried I’d damage something and didn’t have the proper tools, so I took it to uBreakiFix specifically for a cleaning.

They told me they noticed some “slowing down” and storage issues and said I may need a “decoder” or “encoder” on the motherboard related to the liquid metal. I’m not even sure I’m using the right terminology.

Does this sound legitimate? I have had some issues with Fortnite updates taking hours and sometimes not completing, so I’m wondering if that could be related.

I’m hesitant to authorize a repair if it involves replacing or modifying an original motherboard component and potentially creates bigger problems.

Would you take it back and decline the repair, or does what they’re telling me sound like a legitimate PS5 issue?
Thanks in advance for any advice!

UPDATE: Thank you all for all the replies! I definitely read each one and decided yeah I should go back and pick it up since they aren’t answering the phone. Sure enough I go in and ask for an explanation of what was wrong because it was turning on and just needed a dust cleaning, they started saying when they opened it some Liquid Metal got on some of the chips and now it won’t boot up! So I told them I’m not paying for a something I didn’t cause. The manager came out and now he said he’ll double check the work on it personally to confirm what exactly the issue was because the tech isn’t here and they’re just reading the notes. Basically I told them give it back to me how I gave it to you and I don’t want any fix. But yeah, basically it got more screwed up like you all said! What a bummer man! Literally they broke it.

A while back I logged onto a different console, in a different country, and made it my primary device. I had my game process saved in the cloud and thought i can download it in the other console, but that wasn’t successful.

I went back to using my original PS4, made it my primary device again, tried “restoring licenses” but still was not able to get access to my Stardew Valley save file. So I just started a new save, and have been enjoying the fresh start, until now suddenly my console “regained database” and recovered my old saves while removing the recent one I started.

What is happening? Can i get the fresh save i just started back??

Hi all,

Years ago, I bought my son a PS4 pro. Now it turned into a fighter jet and he bought himself a PS5. As I read, dried thermal paste can cause this jet behaviour. I'm able to replace the thermal paste myself, but would like to delete all accounts from the PS, so I can start using it as were it new after I fix it's heat-issue.

When I want to quick initialise, I get the message that the PS can't be deactivated for 2 users (both my son's users). I should sign in to PS Network with these accounts and try again. Unfortunately, I don't have the login credentials.

One step further, I see: There are users for whom this PS4 cannot be deactivated as their primary PS4. If you start restoring, they will not be able to deactivate this PS4. Are you sure you want to continue?
After you select [Yes], the PS4 will automatically restart and initialisation will start.

I could do a full initialise, which should take several hours, but I don't know if I can then setup the device with my own login credentials.

I hope somebody understands my problem description and can help.

The blue light comes on for a second then nothing. Change of wall plugs did not help. Any trusted folks you know? I just want to return to Witcher 3 Remastered ;(
