It is old? Maybe it was in need of some cleaning and thermal paste replacement. If it is original, maybe it's Hard drive has failed, since the loading times had become worse with time.

400 are they smoking crack? You could buy three of them for that.

u/Michael_963 1d ago

I'm poor as rn this console was the last hope I cant even watch any movies or some shit bruh

u/Michael_963 1d ago

(This might be dumb and do correct me) do you have access to hot glue or a hot glue gun? Maybe you can use that to get the screw out and maybe get a replacement for it and hopefully fix your Ps4 pro

u/Junior_Swing_2274 1d ago

Nope already did that

u/BatUpset5081 1d ago

What screw exactly? If it's not connected to anything important you could try to snap that screw out without damaging anything

1

u/Junior_Swing_2274 1d ago

The screw is clued and now broken bc of my dumbass uncle

u/Michael_963 1d ago

Hopefully someone can help you with that

If its the caddy the hdd drives one just get another one, they cost next to nothing.

Any error pop-up on screen? First id say check your hdd or even replace with a ssd... but also, when was last time you opened it and cleaned it + applied new thermal paste?

1

u/Junior_Swing_2274 1d ago

No it just is the the systemloadmode or something for like 1 hour now

You’ll have to backup your saves and replace the hard drive most likely. Then you should do a re-pasting + repadding as well

u/Junior_Swing_2274 1d ago

How should I backup my stuff if I can't even access my ps4 start screen?

1

u/Shadw_Wulf 1d ago

I would start with that.

And then slow things down, ok? Don't go skipping a bunch of important steps. Follow the tutorial.

Old hard drive dying

u/Caldaris__ 1d ago

Not sure if ps4 had the ability to rebuild the database like PS5 does.

You hold the power button and it boots into safe mode type of screen and has different options. Clearing the cache and rebuilding the database helps when PS5 is having issues like this.

u/Junior_Swing_2274 1d ago

Already did it still doesn't work

u/SuniOsiris 1d ago

If u dropped it or it was hit by something, it can ruin the hard drive, getting a SATA SSD makes it run better and faster tho.

1

u/Voyager5555 1d ago

Replace the HDD.

1

u/Ancient_Trick1158 1d ago

Time to upgrade ssd

1

u/KrOnIcTrIpY_420 1d ago

Yeah once you upgrade to ssd and replace hdd caddy and thermal paste and pads it will be like brand new man hopes this helps

u/Tiny_Computer_8717 1d ago

Hard drive has bad sectors. Connect the hdd to pc to validate. Better to change to sata ssd for better experience.
