I have one of the later revisions of the pro, the CUH-7202B. I was playing Yakuza 6 earlier when my console seemed to freeze for a split second, then instantly powered off. I immediately thought it was a power outage but quickly realized that wasn't the case, as all my other electronics were still on. I knew something wasn't right because usually when PS4's freeze, they blue screen and ask you to send an error report, but this completely turned off my unit.
Upon booting up again, it went straight to the safe mode system file check screen. This completed and it eventually got me back into the home screen, but I noticed the UI was very laggy and also my wallpaper was gone. I then clicked into the PSN icon and my system shut off again. This time I could almost make out the sound of when it powered off and it sounded like when you pull the power on an electrical device. Hard to explain but sounded like a PSU whining down.
Anyway I tried to turn it on again and it immediately went back to the safe mode file system check and didn't even reach half way and shut off again. Now, each time I power it on, I just get a pulsating blue light. I've changed HDMI and power cables, swapped HDD and none of this makes a difference. I have no idea how this system could BLOD. I always pampered this unit and kept it practically dust free by opening the top case and blowing the air out of the fan area. I almost never hear the fan speed up unless it's a very demanding game, like COD 4.
What I'm most worried about is my save data. the backups in the cloud are from a long while ago and I really want to get my most current data back. Is there some way that I can extract just the save data from my HDD using a PC or another ps4? I could care less about anything else I had on the system.
