If your PS4 isn't starting into Safe Mode, it can be a frustrating issue, as Safe Mode is usually the go-to for troubleshooting. Here's a breakdown of common causes and solutions to help you get it working again:

1. Verify the Safe Mode Activation Process

It's easy to miss a step or the timing, so double-check you're doing it correctly:

Turn off your PS4 completely: Don't just put it in Rest Mode. Hold the power button on the front of the console for about three seconds until you hear a beep and the power indicator light stops blinking and turns off.

Wait: Ensure the console is fully off.

Press and hold the power button again: Keep holding it down. You'll hear one beep immediately, then a second beep about seven seconds later.

Release the power button after the second beep.

Connect your DualShock 4 controller via a USB cable: It's crucial to use a data-transfer USB cable (often the one that came with your PS4) and not just a charging cable.

Press the PS button on the controller. This should bring up the Safe Mode menu.
