PlayStation console: Blue, then white
The console is powering on. Starting from rest mode is quicker than from fully off, so the blue lasts only a moment.
Applies to: PS5 and PS4 consoles. What you see: blue and white, one colour, then another. Where: the console.
What Sony says to do
- If the console turns itself off again straight after the blue light, Sony directs you to PlayStation Repairs.
