I want to bring my PS4 with me on vacation. I unplugged the power cord and the HDMI cable. But now the system is beeping at me for some reason. Anyone know what this means? I tried to google it and didn't see anything.

maybe it's like the ps3 and needs to be reset to the tv it is hooked up to. I didn't have to do that with mine when i took it out of the box, but i remember with the ps3 you had to hold the power button for like 10 seconds so it would properly sync to the tv or whatever


or you just broke it

You plugged it right back in after the beeping started?

I don't have it hooked up to any TV. No wires attached and is beeping about every 30 seconds. Maybe it just means it doesn't have power.

I plugged the PS4 back up and everything is fine. I unplug the power cord and HDMI cable again and nothing happens. As soon as I pick up the PS4 off the TV stand it starts to beep at me. I set it back down and it stops.

Plot twist. PS4 is more evil than Xbone Kinect being always on. Sony trying to take over the world.

Microsoft will save us.

did you unplug it while it was in standby?

This isn't really any help but here is someone else reporting the same issue last month.

LINK

No solution was offered and the person didn't post much outside of simply reporting the problem.

I always have my PS4 in standby and I've unplugged it while in standby and moved it to 3 different TV's since I've had it. It never made any sounds.

Have you tried emailing or calling Sony support?

Maybe it was fricking the cable box and was pissed because you caught him mid pump.

No I haven't called Sony yet. I probably won't bring it with me and call Sony when I get back. The system works fine when it is plugged up, but I was curious to why it beeps unplugged. The first time I thought I was hearing things until I tried it again.

If you were sleeping and someone picked you up and tried to put you in a bag, I'm sure you would have a few things to say about it too.
