3 beeps issue and is the ifixit ps5 power supply returnable?
So, for the last 2 weeks my PS5 would just completely shut off after long (4-6 hrs) PS5 gaming sessions of one particular game. Didn't have this same problem while idling on home screen, running Netflix or less demanding games. The only way to get it back on was after I removed the power plug for quite a while. I usually let it sit off for several hours before even trying to play again. However today after it cut out and I plugging it back in, the PS5 gives 3 beeps 2-3 seconds after plug in and won't boot back up..
My suspicion is the power supply went out because I used it A LOT since 11/2020 and never cleaned it out (I'm lazy 🤷♂️)... Bad move, I know.
I feel very comfortable opening it and want to try replacing the power supply. However, if a functioning power supply doesn't actually fix this and I end up not needing it, are their power supplies returnable? How would that go? Can I pay them the return shipping and they just send me a label? I'm paralyzed and in a wheelchair so that would make it much more convenient for me. I don't mind paying a few bucks to try this way but really don't want to lose the full $100. Especially since if it doesn't fix it I'll end up having to drop $500 on a new console.
So any help / opinions about...
1) my console not booting up and if the odds are it IS the power supply AND
2) my questions about returning it if it ends up not fixing my power issue
... would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks! 🙂
Is this a good question?
