Why is my PS4 won’t connect to TV despite trying multiple HDMI cables?

You might need to restore the PS4’s video output settings to their default: 1. Turn off your PS4 completely. 2. Hold down the power button until you hear the second beep (this should take about seven seconds). 3. Your PS4 will boot into Safe Mode. 4. Connect the PS4 controller to the console using a USB cable, and press the PS button. 5. Select the “Change Resolution” option, and your PS4 will restart. This method resets the display settings, which can resolve issues with video output.

It sounds like you could be facing an issue with the TV’s input settings. Make sure the TV is set to the correct HDMI input source: 1. Turn on your TV. 2. Use your TV remote to navigate to the input/source menu. 3. Select the HDMI port to which your PS4 is connected. If the PS4 is still not displaying, switch through all the HDMI inputs to see if the signal shows up on a different channel.

Sometimes the issue might be with the TV, rather than the PS4 or the HDMI cable. Try the following steps to troubleshoot: 1. Power cycle both your PS4 and the TV. Unplug both devices from the power outlet, wait a few minutes, then plug them back in and power them on. 2. Test the HDMI ports with a different device, such as a DVD player or another gaming console. 3. Inspect the HDMI ports for any visible damage or debris.

Your issue might be related to HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) settings on your PS4. To disable HDCP: 1. Navigate to ‘Settings’ on your PS4. 2. Go to ‘System.’ 3. Find and uncheck the ‘Enable HDCP’ option. This might help if your TV or monitor doesn’t fully support HDCP or is causing conflicts.

The first thing you should do is check and ensure your HDMI cable is properly connected. Sometimes, the connection can be loose, leading to no signal. Here are a few steps: 1. Unplug the HDMI cable from both the PS4 and the TV. 2. Reverse the HDMI cable, plugging the end that was in the TV into the PS4, and vice versa. 3. Plug the HDMI cable back in securely. Also, verify that your HDMI cable is not damaged. You might want to try a high-quality HDMI cable that supports at least HDMI 1.4. Some lower-quality cables might not work well with the PS4’s output.

If none of the above steps work, you might be dealing with a hardware issue. Here’s what you can do: 1. Borrow a friend or family member’s PS4 or get one from a store with a return policy to test your HDMI cable and TV with another PS4. 2. If the borrowed PS4 works, then your PS4 might have a faulty HDMI port or internal hardware issue. 3. Contact Sony support or take your console to an authorized repair center for professional assistance.

Lastly, if you have access to other video cables like a component cable, use that to connect your PS4 to the TV. This can help you determine if the issue is specifically with HDMI. Additionally, if you have other devices connected to your TV, disconnect them to rule out any potential interference: 1. Disconnect all devices from the HDMI ports and plug your PS4 cable into the cleared port. 2. Check if the PS4 signal passes through; if it does, the interference might be the root cause.

There could also be a software issue causing the problem. Try these steps: 1. Verify that the PS4 firmware is up-to-date. If you can access another TV, update the console to the latest system software. 2. If possible, rebuild the PS4 database from Safe Mode. To do this, select the ‘Rebuild Database’ option within Safe Mode. This process will scan the drive and create a new database of all the content, which may fix any software issues affecting your PS4’s connectivity.
