Now, to be clear, a dead or missing CMOS battery isn’t a problem so long as your PS4 still has connectivity to Sony’s servers for synchronization purposes.īut as we saw earlier this year, when Sony announced it would stop supporting the PlayStation Store on PS3 and PlayStation Vita, only to later reverse course due to public outcry, everything has a shelf life.

If your PS4 clock battery dies, all your games die.” To not-so-briefly sum up the situation, when a certain battery inside the PS4 - the one used to track the internal date and time - inevitably dies, because nothing lasts forever, the console can spit out an error (CE-30391-6) that breaks the ability to play games.Īs modder Lance McDonald framed it back in March, “ This error is because Trophies on PS4 require the internal system clock (the one you can’t see / alter) to be correct, so people can’t change their PS4 date/time to make it look like they got trophies earlier than they really did. With the recent 9.00 firmware update, Sony has addressed an eventual PS4 CMOS battery issue (or so-called “CBOMB”) that would have eventually, one day, led to a situation where users’ PS4s would be unable to play digital or physical games. Thank you beforehand.Without this fix, the PS4 would’ve one day lost the ability to play digital and physical games Is it possible to update it without wiping the whole HDD. I really dont want to factory reset it, because I have so many clips and other files that I want to keep. Says update complete and when it restarts it doesnt want to boot. Back at the beggining, checked the HDD and it just doesnt want to update. Tried with USB (FAT32, 4 GB storage abd everything named and downloaded corectly) the ps4 got it, downloaded the update, applied it and after restart - nothing. After that it restarted and checked my HDD again and I was at the beggining. First it downloaded the update, then it started applying it. ,update file 7.51 available” I press it to update. I booted it in safe mode and tried internet (with lan cable). So the next day I go to turn it on and it says that I need to install the update file via usb, disc or internet. I didnt want to turn it on again because of the possibility that it could go out again. I had a power outage the other day my ps4 was on.
