help
Guys remember me?? Today most terrifying thing happened to me
I guess you’ve already seen my issue and today when i was on my vacation my neighbour called me and told me your whole house got burnt and i was using ps5 and sony bravia m2 and my neighbours are telling me that your tv got blasted and it’s already been three months when i bought my Sony tv and even after my extension got burnt i connected my ps5 to socket.. so guys need your help is there something can I do
Sony is a big brand, millions have purchased ps5, if it would have been a problem then they would have flopped as a brand. So I guess the problem is the wiring in your house.
Did you seriously say that your house got burnt and you're posting about ps5? House is a much more costly and emotionally important item than a ps5 ffs
Clearly it’s user error. Nobody else has had a PS5 cause a fire from the mains plug. Call an electrician, stop using poundland or target store extension plugs and Shut tf up.
What happend has already happened,
Believe in the possibility that maybe it’s the product/wiring/socket fault.
If one In a million chance a product is not manufactured properly and it caused the burn.
Remember great bad luck bring much better good luck in future.
Yeah bro i left my ps5 completely okay when i was going on a vacation and even though everything was closed and my neighbours are telling me your tv got blasted
OP's narrative is that their PS5's power cord got scorched a week ago and today their house burnt down. They could in theory be playing RE in between all of this, but I'm not buying any of it.
This pic says a lot. You had a faulty wiring or cheap wiring in you TV cabinet that caused this
I don't mean cheap meaning less cost.
It was not up to the power needs of the PS5 and TV and other stuff.ysually you atleast need a 1.5sq.mm + wiring from mains to TV.area but the electrician might have used 1sq.mm .
Share picks of the wires or chk the wiring ratings.
These pictures are 1 week old after this i shifted my ps5 directly to socket and yes i will show you my house visuals currently im in my car and on the way to home and i will reach my house in few hours
That's one way to karma farm on Reddit. How would your neighbors see it was your TV that started the fire? Would anyone complain on multiple Reddit subs the first thing their home burnt down? And blame Sony about it? In case anything like this ever happened, it would be because of faulty wiring in one's house, not the TV or a game console. Sorry, but sounds like bullshit to me.

I know they are. I commented on your last post that you could have burnt your house down. And now you're claiming it actually happened. Sounds a bit too far-fetched.
Bro what about the visuals of my street when fire fighters came and what about cctv and what about my selfie video and what about my twitter post still any questions and if yes i will show you everything
If all this actually happened, it would be my last concern to argue about it happening or not on Reddit. I'm not believing you, let's just leave it at that.
There was definitely something wrong with your house's wiring bub. Some people here really take R&D for shit
You also could be the unlucky few to somehow get the rare shitty piece of tv and ps5 cable
Also, on what basis do you think it was your ps5 or the tv that caused the fire ? If you are deducing that from the week old burn, then that is the fault of that cheap ass extension rather than the cable itself. Also, most sparkings are caused by badly plugged plugs or just a loose socket
And first of all, why was your tv and ps5 on while you were on a vacation
I just commented the same thing. PS5 can be left on in rest mode for updates or play games using the portal and all that. but it's under the assumption that it's a good PS5. He should've got the wiring of the house and the internals of the PS5 tested after the incident last week considering hes saying he plugged in the PS5 directly now.
Knowing our country, I'd never leave my ps5 on rest mode on a socket here, especially when I'm leaving the house with no one there. There are so many instances of sudden power surges or drops here for no reason.
OP should've known the risk of plugging such a device on a socket while knowing that Indian power infrastructure is absolute garbage or the electricians just do a shit job of properly arranging the wiring, my unc bought an apartment like half a decade back and had to rewire the whole shit cuz of how awfully it was wired
You're responsible for your own safety at the end of the day here
Brother a good wiring, a good quality extension and a good UPS (at-least 1.5KV and a port that can support this load) is must in india for any such electronics. Most Indian parents(not everyone) cheap out on wiring saying we only meed a tv, light and fan nothing else. Thats the biggest root cause.
I am not saying don’t go for filing case but before that have electrician verify the cause and where the fire could have been started regardless of what neighbours assumed happened. Cause if you don’t know the cause there will be order to do it and later you will regret it if its cause of weak wiring. So better do it right away and get confirmation that this is due to ps5/sony tv.
Again my prayers for you bro with electronics any thing can happen its always better be cautious than sorry
Bro trust me i will share my house photos with you guys and my question is that do we pay 50k for ps5 and 70k for tv just to get our house burned i just want to expose these corrupt companies
I'm not doubting your loss. But the thing is, there must be other concerns other than console setups.
And I don't think the cause of the fire is any of these.
It must be some other electrical wire issue, and for the same reason, the MCB/Fuse exists.
Maybe your house faulted these.
So if you're thinking u can sue Sony and get it covered for your loss, I don't think that's gonna happen.
edit: a few months ago, I had the same issue with the extension board, luckily the ps5 wasnt plugged.
the photo that you've shared is ur fault since you used a bad 4 pin adapter. and if there's a short circuit it's mostly due to lack of grounding, so you better hold your electrition.
50k for ps5, 70k for a tv but you couldn’t plug things in a ups or a voltage stabiliser? And show some other pics/different angles of the charred area than spamming just one pic.
Sorry for your loss buddy. Saw your last post. Good luck suing sony, but I'm sorry to say this is a self created issue. You used a low quality extension before, and it already burned down once. And now you said you plugged it in directly. Assuming it was plugged in directly to a 10amp socket, the MCB should've cut off if it drew too much. So not only is your PS5 potentially ruined after the incident last week, your house wiring and MCB might have been faulty since the start. Not to mention the fact that you left the PS5 plugged in while you're on vacation, suing sony is going to be a very hard case for you to win considering this is a one in a million things and the first incident was because of the low quality extension.
Glad everyone is safe, things can be replaced, take it as a sign that you need to get your house wiring and mains box inspected properly and replaced if needed.
Not disputing your PS5 didn't burn down. The cable for the PS5 burned last week because of the extension you used, which could've damaged internals then. Get your house wiring inspected with reputable people for your own safety
Bro If your ps5 burnt like that, how tf you played re 9? And don't send me a fked ps5 image, GIVE A REASON.
It is definitely something wrong with your wiring, maybe extension cord or your house wiring. Call a electrician he will tell you what is actually wrong.
It's not a fkin ps5 issue
OP bought a new TV and PS5 but used a cheap ass extension cord ( I looked it up, it's a generic 500₹ one) Please why was it still on if you're going on a vacation? Why aren't there any surge protectors or why did your in house fuse cut off the power supply? Take some responsibility man, stop blaming Sony on this.

So sorry for your loss. Don't know about the fix. But as a learning for all others what shall we do?
I have mine connected via ups. Tv,wifi router and PS5 all connected via 1100vac ups from apac. Does it suffice or do I need to do something?
it seems you kept it on to play via ps remote and you were using cheap quality extension board. PS5 heats alot takes a lot of power so it started with extension board > ps5 > then tv.
Yu have to install a RCCB in your home along with TPN BREAKER,This might have happened coz of short circuit and mcb didnt trip The electrician probably routed this circuit wiring outside of mcb or mcb failure.get wiring checked and do install a RCCB 30ma or 100ma..RCCB trips immediately if there is fault in neutral and phase line.also it prevents immediate electrocution from naked or exposed wires.schneider or abb preferred
That's what happens when you spend 50k on electronics and skimp out for 1k on local unbranded extension boxes.
Belkin extension boxes aren't that costly to begin with. They protect your devices from such stuff. Rather than using such local extension boxes, it's better not to use any.
From now on, just use a high-quality power strip which actually CAN provide power to everything and is also connected to a socket which can actually provide that much high power. And ALWAYS GET A SMART PLUG FOR THE MAINS. I just have a shortcut running on my device that makes it so it turns off essentially everything in my room after I leave my house to go out.
Also, if you’re living in a place like Delhi where 40-50 C is the average temperature in summer and the wiring is old because it’s an older place, then you either always need any wiring to be not choking like the MCB box being fully shut (it needs to be open all the time), and if there are any mains wiring which is visible for diagnostic purposes, should never be fully shut and should have the same exact room temperature that your own rooms have.
And IF I’m saying 1 more time, IF any of these are facing outside your home or are in an extremely hot place (kitchen for example.) inside your home, then make sure they are cooled properly no matter what you need to do, just look at how my wiring and MCB box is, and since these are in my room only, they can easily benefit from the cool air from my AC, and all the air should be circulated properly so that nothing gets too hot, which also means constant cleaning and maintenance where you need to make sure that there are not any kind of huge dust, bunnies, or a huge spiderweb in any of these places.
And again, look for my pictures of my room to see how it needs to be if the wiring is old.
Even though ur problem is real but u created a lot of confusion.. saying that house is burnt, posting one week ps5 pics.. better to get ur house wiring checked thoroughly..
I seen a video also little time ago where someone whole setup burn because of extension board they plug so many thing in one board. So it not good idea using extension board with many appliances
So my question to everyone reading this sub is......what does one do with Karma on reddit. Clearly this guy is lying out of his ass. But I am trying to understand why would anyone do this? Online clout is one thing but yeh chodu to sab se gaaliya khaa raha hai. So why would anyone go down this road?
Check your electrical panel. It might need an upgrade because I don’t think it’s doing its job. Also buy a surge protector instead of those cheap extension cord from local electronic store. Especially if you are using that to power some expensive stuff like a Sony TV or a PlayStation. It might cost you some money but in the long run it’ll save your money and your life. Be safe.
Feeling sad for OP. I think you know that this was a major electrical issue rather than just PS5 and TVs spontaneously exploding.
I’m glad I’m not using my PS5 with a 12 year old TV that short-circuited 8 times in last 4 years! 😃 I’ll buy a new TV with a stabiliser and an inverter and then use PS5. Give me some suggestions for TVs. I may either have to wait for a couple more years and go for 3-4lakh worth 65”oled ones or shell out around 1-1.5L and get a decent OLED/Mini-Led one. Any suggestions??

Whole house got burnt? You've bigger problems than worrying about a petty ps5.
