PlayStation 5 Help Should I replace my ps5 or save for a pc?

0 Upvotes

My PS5 got hit by a power surge a month and a half ago and the repair shop said theyre not sure if they can fix it, and that itll take between $190-320 if they can, or they might even have to send it to another different shop since they themselves have never actually fixed this kind of issue before.

Ive been thinking about getting a pc for a while, but having a PS5, combined with the fact that Im broke, has made me content with what I have (or had I guess). But now that my console is on the verge of death, should I just try and save up for one? I miss being able to play my games and all I have is my copy of Jedi Fallen Order on my old Xbox One S that cant even run any new gen games.

PlayStation 4 Help PS4 Controller issue (lagging and disconnecting)

I just got this PS4 for a very cheap price, the controller you see on the video is brand new and I got it separate from the console. But when testing the console I ran into a very odd problem, the controller struggles a lot to link with the console and when it does, it only works for a little while then it starts getting some really heavy input lag and finally it disconnects

What could be causing this?

PlayStation 5 Help Having problem downloading games from disc

Hi guys, I recently bought my first console, playstation 5 slim disc version. I have some free digital games that work fine, I played the last of us PS4 remastered disc version, which worked fine too. My friend gave me FIFA 22 and NBA 2k21 discs to try them. I tried downloading both but after some time it just fails and I get an error ,,Something went wrong". They gave me GoW Ragnarok but apparently it needs the second disc which I don't have. I looked up some solutions and everything I do seems to be fine. When I try to download games it runs two installations, one update and base game. The update downloads without issue but base game won't. I tried cancelling update right away but the base game still fails. I tried disabling internet connection(I'm connected thru ethernet cable), I have 450gb free on my console, so it's not storage problem. Discs seem to be fine, the NBA 2k21 worked on their console today. They are all PS4 versions, but I've read that that shouldn't be a problem. What could this be and how do I fix it?

I had some other problems with my ps5 like fast overheating or downloads wouldn’t work but now I can barely play anything

The moment I try playing something like pal world or R6 it instantly crashes but other things like rocket league or Apex Legends work just fine

This problem startet like a week ago

PlayStation Help Unlinking Spotify from old account

0 Upvotes

Hello. So I made a new playstation account a few weeks back. I went to link my Spotify account when I realized I still had it linked to the one I was using before. Typically it would be easy but the original Sony account belonged to my bio dad. I do not speak to him and have since lost the account password. It was under his email. How do I prove that I had access to the account to unlink my Spotify?

PlayStation 5 Help PlayStation 5 Beeping when walking past it

Like the title says my PS5 is beeping three times whenever I walk by it in my living room. I did some brief research but came up empty handed. Has anyone else experienced this issue?
