如果您的PlayStation 5无法开机或在屏幕上显示任何内容，则可能是“变砖”了。这可能是一个可怕的情况，因为正如术语所暗示的那样，您的昂贵游戏设备与砖块一样有用。
好消息是，在请专业人士帮忙之前，您可以尝试一些故障排除技巧，这肯定比等待修复后的新PS5(PS5)到货要
等待数周！
为什么变砖如此严重
您可以通过将控制台启动到安全模式(Mode)并将其重置为出厂设置来修复最严重的PS5软件错误。(PS5)可能发生的最坏情况是丢失控制台的数据。如果你有PlayStation Plus，你的游戏存档应该备份到云端，所以说真的，这与其说是一场真正的灾难，不如说是一种不便。
但是，当控制台变砖时，它不会开机。换句话说，无论系统软件出了什么问题，如果没有只有索尼(Sony)拥有的特殊设备，就无法修复真正的砖块。
变砖了吗？
在你假设最坏的情况之前，先弄清楚你的PS5系统是否真的是砖头。确保插座有电，电源线完好，HDMI线(HDMI cable)连接正确，按电源键时没有开机提示音。
此外，请确保您按下的是电源按钮，而不是光盘弹出按钮。如果您听到三声哔声，则说明您在驱动器中没有光盘时按下了弹出按钮（适用于PS5 光盘(PS5 disc)型号）。
1.还没有变砖？更新您的PS5固件！
如果您因为担心PS5变砖而在这里找到了自己的方式，那么最好从您可以做的一些事情开始，以减少您的控制台最终死机和无响应的可能性。
大多数砖块控制台是由软件问题引起的。例如，系统软件中的错误可能导致PS5无法开机的情况。您最好的防御措施是在有新版本的系统软件可用时
通过Wi-Fi或以太网更新您的系统软件。(Ethernet)
2.但是，不要立即安装(Install)新的更新(New Update Right Away)
虽然更新到 PS5 系统软件的最新版本通常是避免变砖的好主意，但您不想在更新可用的那一刻就这样做。相反，等待一两天，看看新的系统软件是否会引入新的错误或触发新一波砖头游戏机。
如果你在一两天后
没有读到任何关于人们的PS5被新更新所破坏的信息，那么继续进行很可能是安全的。(PS5)
3.不要使用休息模式
休息模式是(Rest Mode)PS5控制台中发现的一种特殊低功耗模式，它很有用，但经常被指责造成砖块问题(causing bricking issues)。在休息模式下(Rest Mode)，PS5会下载游戏、游戏更新，甚至系统更新。这意味着您可以坐下来玩，而不是等待更新。
不幸的是，休息模式(Rest Mode)似乎有时会破坏一些东西，而且它发生的原因尚不清楚。在控制台发布后的最初几周内，这种情况似乎更为普遍。
索尼(Sony)在后续更新中表示此问题已得到解决。但是由于早期的恐慌，一些游戏玩家不信任这种模式。此外，如果断电，外部硬盘驱动器可能会损坏。在这种情况下，您会经常看到“重建数据库”错误代码。
要禁用休息模式：
- 前往 PS5 设置。
- 选择系统。
- 转到省电。
- 打开设置时间(Set Time)，直到PS5 进入休息模式(PS5 Enters Rest Mode)。
- 分别为媒体和游戏选择不要进入(Put)休息模式。(Rest Mode)
现在，如果您将PS5闲置时间过长，它不会自动进入休息模式以节省电量。(Rest Mode)但是，在不同的电源选项之间进行选择时，您仍然可以手动将其置于休息模式。(Rest Mode)如果您不想将PS5置于“休息模式”(Rest Mode)，请选择适当的关机。请务必让您家中的任何人知道他们不应该手动激活休息模式(Rest Mode)。
4. 检查某些(Certain) 游戏(Games) 是否会导致 PS5 变砖(Are Bricking PS5s)
虽然极为罕见，但据报道，少数PS5游戏导致游戏机变砖。例子(Examples)包括Black Ops Cold War和Horizon Forbidden West。
游戏玩家通常会在发布后的最初几个小时内公开任何导致如此严重问题的游戏。因此，如果您可以等待一两天，您肯定会看到此类报告弹出。另一方面，如果游戏已经发布了一段时间，它可能是安全的。
5.考虑使用UPS
PS5(PS5s)变砖的一个核心原因是休息模式下的电源中断。如果您经常将PS5唤醒并收到错误关闭电源的警告消息，那么您将面临数据损坏的巨大风险，这可能会使控制台变砖。如果在系统更新过程中断电，这也可能是灾难性的。
如上所述，避免Rest Mode是解决此问题的有效方法。(Rest Mode)由于PS5关闭后断电不会造成任何伤害，但是如果您不想放弃休息模式(Rest Mode)的便利性，您可能需要考虑为您的PS5投资一个小型(PS5)UPS（不间断电源(Power Supply)） .
这不是为了让你在停电时继续玩，尽管如果你买了一个大单位，这是一个选择。相反，这个想法是为了消除电源波动，让您有足够的时间在您玩游戏时电源中断时正确关闭PS5 ，并在(PS5)休息模式下(Rest Mode)保持打开状态。
休息模式(Rest Mode)不需要大型UPS。PS5在休眠模式下(Rest Mode)仅使用约 1.5W 的功率，因此几乎任何UPS都可以使其保持工作的时间远远超过任何停电可能持续的时间。
6. 执行电源循环
如果您似乎已将控制台变砖，那么您可以尝试一个最后的修复方法，它可能会使其恢复活力。使您的控制台变砖的问题可能是暂时的，可以通过重启电源来擦除系统的易失性内存来清除。
首先，从你的PS5上拔下所有东西。然后按住电源按钮。这个想法是关闭电源电路并释放存储在PS5电容器中的任何剩余电量。我们不知道这一步是否必要，但它是有意义的并且不会受到伤害。
完成此操作后，为了安全起见，您可能需要将PS5拔掉一段时间。我们已经看到建议的时间为 15 到 20 分钟，但据我们所知，这只是安慰剂效应。不过，喝杯茶来镇定你的神经并没有什么坏处。
稍等片刻后，将PS5连接到电源和电视。现在，按下电源按钮，直到听到第二声哔声。假设您听到了第一声哔哔声。如果您在 10 秒后没有听到哔哔声，则控制台很可能是变砖了。
7. 与索尼取得联系
可悲的是，如果您没有尝试使PS5恢复生机，您别无选择，只能将其发送给索尼(Sony)进行维修。如果您的PS5仍在保修期内，这是一个相当简单的过程。联系支持代理后，您会在邮件中收到一个装运箱。按照说明将您的PS5装入此盒子并寄出。如果您是通过亚马逊(Amazon)这样的网站购买PS5，请联系他们而不是Sony进行退货。
如果你的PS5不在保修期内，事情会变得有点复杂，很大程度上取决于你的系统一开始为什么会变砖。如果您的PS5因游戏故障或索尼(Sony)PS5更新的已知问题而出现问题，那么他们可能会负责修复您的游戏机。
另一方面，如果这是停电的结果（您的PS5每次都会发出警告），您可能需要支付维修费用。与往常一样，当涉及到索尼(Sony)的责任时，您所在州或国家/地区的消费者保护法优先，其政策次之。
这是我们在预防和处理PS5变砖问题时能给出的最佳建议。修复砖块的PS5很少见，但如果你幸运的话，你可能会保存它！如果您在PS5(PS5)过热方面需要帮助，请查看我们的指南。
Is Your PS5 Bricked? 7 Fixes to Try
If your PlayStation 5 won’t turn on or show anything on the screen, it may be “bricked.” This can be a scary situation since your expensive gaming device is, as the term suggests, about as useful as a brick.
The good news is that you can try a few troubleshooting tricks before calling in the pros to help, and that certainly beats waiting weeks for a repaired new PS5 to arrive!
Why Bricking Is So Serious
You can fix most serious PS5 software errors by booting the console into Safe Mode and resetting it to factory settings. The worst that can happen is losing the console’s data. If you have PlayStation Plus, your save games should be backed up to the cloud, so really, it’s more an inconvenience than an actual disaster.
However, when a console is bricked, it won’t power on. In other words, regardless of what’s wrong with the system software, there’s no way to fix a true bricking without the special equipment that only Sony has.
Is It Bricked?
Before you assume the worst, figure out whether your PS5 system is really bricked. Ensure that the outlet is providing power, the power cable is undamaged, the HDMI cable is connected correctly, and there is no startup beep when you press the power button.
Also, ensure you’re pressing the power button, not the disc eject button. If you hear a triple beep, you’re pushing the eject button when there’s no disc in the drive (for PS5 disc models).
1. Not Bricked Yet? Update Your PS5 Firmware!
If you’ve found your way here because you’re concerned about your PS5 getting bricked, then it’s a good idea to start with a few things you can do to make it less likely that your console will end up dead and unresponsive.
Most bricked consoles result from a software issue. For example, bugs in the system software can lead to situations where the PS5 fails to power on. Your best defense is to update your system software over Wi-Fi or Ethernet when a new version of system software becomes available.
2. However, Don’t Install a New Update Right Away
While updating to the latest version of the PS5’s system software is generally a good idea to avoid bricking, you don’t want to do it the very minute an update becomes available. Instead, wait a day or two to see if the new system software introduces new bugs or triggers a new wave of bricked consoles.
If you don’t read anything about people’s PS5 being bricked by a new update after a day or two, it’s most likely safe to go ahead.
3. Don’t Use Rest Mode
Rest Mode is a special low-power mode found in the PS5 console that’s useful but often accused of causing bricking issues. In Rest Mode, the PS5 downloads games, game updates, and even system updates. This means you can get going when you sit down to play instead of waiting for an update.
Unfortunately, it seems that Rest Mode can corrupt things sometimes, and it’s not apparent why it happens. This does seem to have been more widespread during the first few weeks following the console launch.
Sony has stated in subsequent updates that this problem is resolved. But some gamers don’t trust this mode, thanks to those early scares. Also, external hard drives can be corrupted if the power goes out. You’d constantly see the “rebuild database” error code in that case.
To disable Rest Mode:
- Go to PS5 Settings.
- Select System.
- Go to Power Saving.
- Open Set Time Until PS5 Enters Rest Mode.
- Choose Don’t Put In Rest Mode for media and games, respectively.
Now your PS5 won’t automatically go into Rest Mode to save power if you leave it idle for too long. However, you can still manually put it into Rest Mode when choosing between the different power options. If you don’t want to put the PS5 in Rest Mode, then choose a proper shutdown. Be sure to let anyone in your household know that they shouldn’t manually activate Rest Mode.
4. Check If Certain Games Are Bricking PS5s
While it is exceedingly rare, a small number of PS5 games have reportedly led to bricked consoles. Examples include Black Ops Cold War and Horizon Forbidden West.
Gamers usually expose any game that causes such serious issues within the first few hours of its launch. So if you can wait a day or two, you’re sure to see such reports pop up. On the other hand, if a game’s been out for a while, it’s probably safe.
5. Consider Using a UPS
A core cause of bricked PS5s is power interruptions during rest mode. If you frequently wake your PS5 up to a warning message that the power was turned off incorrectly, you’re at significant risk of data corruption that can brick the console. It’s also potentially catastrophic if the power goes out while a system update is in progress.
Avoiding Rest Mode, as described above, is an effective way to deal with this. Since there’s no harm in the power going out if the PS5 is off, if you don’t want to give up the convenience of Rest Mode, however, you might want to consider investing in a small UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) for your PS5.
This isn’t so you can keep playing when the power goes out, although that is an option if you buy a big unit. Instead, the idea is to smooth out power fluctuations, give you enough time to properly shut down the PS5 if the power goes out while you’re playing, and keep it on during Rest Mode.
You don’t need a big UPS for Rest Mode. The PS5 only uses about 1.5W of power in Rest Mode, so virtually any UPS will keep it alive for far longer than any power outage is likely to last.
6. Perform a Power Cycle
If it seems you’ve bricked your console, there’s one last-ditch fix you can try that might bring it back to life. It might be that the issue that’s bricking your console is temporary and can be cleared by wiping the volatile memory of the system through power cycling.
First, unplug everything from your PS5. Then press and hold the power button. The idea is to close the power circuit and discharge any remaining power stored in the PS5’s capacitors. We don’t know if this step is necessary, but it makes sense and can’t hurt.
After doing this, you may want to leave the PS5 unplugged for a little while just to be safe. We’ve seen suggested times of 15 to 20 minutes, but again for all we know, this is just the placebo effect at work. Though, there’s no harm in having a cup of tea to calm your nerves.
After waiting for a while, connect the PS5 to power and your TV. Now, press the power button until you hear a second beep. That’s assuming you listened to the first beep. The console is most likely bricked if you’ve heard no beeps after 10 seconds.
7. Get In Touch With Sony
Sadly, if nothing you try brings your PS5 back to life, you have little choice but to send it to Sony for repairs. This is a reasonably straightforward process if your PS5 is still under warranty. After contacting a support agent, you’ll get a shipping box in the mail. Pack your PS5 into this box as instructed and send it off. If you bought your PS5 through a site like Amazon, contact them for a return rather than Sony.
If your PS5 is out of warranty, things get a little more complicated, and much will depend on why your system was bricked in the first place. If your PS5 was bricked thanks to a faulty game or a known issue with a PS5 update from Sony, then they may be liable to fix your console.
If, on the other hand, it’s the result of a power outage (which your PS5 warns against every time it happens), you may have to pay for the repair. As always, the consumer protection laws of your state or country take precedence when it comes to what Sony is responsible for, with their policy coming in second to that.
That’s the best advice we can give when it comes to preventing and dealing with the PS5 bricking issue. It’s rare to fix a bricked PS5, but if you’re lucky, you might save it! Check out our guide if you need help with an overheating PS5.
