I knew I smelled something familiar!

same happened to me, caused by a mixture of oils and dust on the eject button.

Unplug PS4 power and HDMI.
Hold down power button (after unplugging) for 2 beeps.
Wipe Eject button, around it + also under it.
Leave it for about a day.
Should work fine.

Another thing that could be happening is a possession. PS4s are Bloodborne and their power feeds from Demon's Souls. It's shouldn't come as a surprise that they may have minds of their own.

lol that's odd.

There are no viruses that can infect the PS4.

I unplugged the power cord when i made this thread(about 2 hours ago. I just left for work but the PS4 worked when i plugged it back up before i left. Fucking weird ass system lol


I imagine i'll have to di this again some time in the future. Tomorrow? 2 weeks from now? Who knows.

It's still #PS4Gang in this bitch!(no fanboy type shit)

And to the people claiming that i'm trolling...

....

WHY THE FUCK WOULD I BE TROLLING? What the hell would i gain from that?

It's not a virus.

This happened to me too :(

I don't think a virus is what you think it is.

Did this just happen a single time, or it's happening repeatedly?

U sure it didn't just power itself on to apply a system update?  Ejecting the disc could mean it updated the Blu-ray drive firmware.

let it reset. turn it off completely (unplug / replug), and then turn it back on.

If it happens again simply lift the console up so the disc tray is facing the ceiling. It will fix itself.

Now i will say ps4 is the oddest console ive ever owned. Heck i can get the blue light to come on and it act like its going to start up after i unplug the power cord. Half the time it doesnt start up when i push the button. This disc tray stuff. Just a moody machine.
