What should I do if MY PS4 PRO has the BLOD and I can’t go to the safe mode or use USBs?

Attempt a simple power supply reset:
1. Ensure that your PS4 Pro is turned off and disconnect all cables.
2. Keep it unplugged for at least 30 minutes.
3. Reconnect all cables and press and hold the power button for 7 seconds as you turn it on.
4. Observe any changes in the system’s response.

Perform a meticulous power reset and check the CMOS battery:
1. Unplug all cables from your PS4 Pro and open it up.
2. Carefully remove the CMOS battery and wait for a few minutes before reinserting it.
3. Reassemble the system, reconnect all cables, and power it on to verify if the issue persists.

Consider trying booting with an external SSD drive:
1. Get a compatible external SSD drive.
2. Connect the SSD drive to your PS4 Pro via USB.
3. Attempt to power up the console and see if the external SSD drive interaction triggers any change.

Verify if the HDMI port is intact and functional:
1. Inspect the HDMI port for any physical damage or obstructing debris.
2. Clean the port using compressed air or an HDMI cleaning kit.
3. Test with a new HDMI cable to see if it can restore functionality to the PS4 Pro.

You should look into potential internal hardware issues causing the BLOD. Here are the steps:
1. Unplug all cables from your PS4 Pro.
2. Press and hold the power button for about 30 seconds to ensure the system is fully discharged.
3. Carefully open the PS4 Pro and inspect if all internal wires, especially connections to the hard drive, remain secure.
4. If you are experienced with hardware, reapply thermal paste to the CPU and GPU as overheating can sometimes lead to BLOD.
5. Reassemble and reconnect everything, checking if the issue is resolved.

It may be time to consider professional repair services. Sometimes DIY efforts don’t suffice and professional expertise is necessary:
1. Locate an authorized PlayStation service center or a certified technician.
2. Clearly describe the issue, emphasizing that the PS4 Pro has the Blue Light of Death and fails to enter Safe Mode or recognize USB devices.
3. Follow their diagnostic process to see if they can determine and fix any hardware abnormalities.

Consider this alternative method for updating your PS4 Pro firmware, which does not use Safe Mode:
1. Download the latest PS4 system update from the PlayStation website onto your computer.
2. Burn the downloaded update onto a CD or DVD.
3. Use an external CD/DVD drive connected via USB to your PS4 Pro and see if it recognizes the disc.
4. Follow the prompts to attempt installing the update from the disc to the console.

Start by thoroughly examining the power supply. Sometimes, a malfunctioning power cable or inadequate power from your outlet can cause the Blue Light of Death (BLOD). Here’s how you can troubleshoot this:
1. Disconnect the power cable from the PS4 Pro.
2. Inspect the power cable for any visible damage or fraying.
3. Connect the power cable to a different outlet; make sure it is properly fixed.
4. If available, use another compatible power cable and try connecting it to your PS4 Pro.

You might want to see if an external monitor and a different HDMI cable can help:
1. Turn off your PS4 Pro completely.
2. Disconnect the current HDMI cable from both the console and the TV.
3. Connect the PS4 Pro to a different TV or monitor using a new HDMI cable.
4. Switch on your PS4 Pro and check if there is any signal on the screen of the new monitor.

You can try a complete power cycling procedure to reset internal configurations:
1. Hold the power button until your PS4 Pro fully powers down.
2. Disconnect the power cord from the console.
3. Leave it unplugged for a minimum of 5 minutes.
4. Reconnect the power cable.
5. Press and hold the power button for 7 seconds to see if a safe reboot could be initiated.
