Ps4 problem

[Vlad the Fox]

My lads ps4 packed up a few weeks back, there was a black screen saying I needed to update from a download I needed to do on a usb stick. That didn't work so I tried an online update, that didn't work so I initialised/factory reset it. Things worked fine for a few weeks then the same thing, factory reset, OK for a few weeks then same problem, though now when I try to factory reset it says it can't initialise. 

 

Has anyone had this problem? And if so how did they solve it? I'm  considering getting a new hdd with a bigger memory, hoping this will work.

 

Thanks for any advice given.

Sounds like the hard drive is faulty and getting corrupted if it worked for a while after factory resetting and then failing again.

 

If you replace it with a new 2.5" HDD or SDD then it should be fine.
