I have a day 1 PlayStation 5 that just started cutting off on its own. I’ve had it since the first day that the ps5 released in the United States.
Over the past week or so the ps5 started shutting down mid games and whenever it felt like it. At first I thought it was overheating so I would wait a while before turning back on. However the last two days it would cut off just only from an hour or two of playing and I had a fan pointing directly at it just to help.
Well I read online apparently it could be the power supply causing the issue not overheating specifically. I also noticed once it shuts off it will not turn back on until I unplug the power cable and plug it back in.
How do I determine if it’s shutting off due to the power supply or it’s from overheating? I’m going to repair this myself so I don’t want to buy the wrong thing.
TL:DR - OG PS5 randomly shuts off and won’t turn back on until I unplug power cable and plug it back in.
