1 Can’t get my ps5 to turn on after a lightning strike
We had a lightning storm and there wasn’t electricity supply when it happened but ever since my ps5 wouldn’t turn on.
PS: there was no power supply when the lightning struck
Questa è una buona domanda?

Hi
When you say there wasn’t electrical supply do you mean it wasn’t plugged in?
Or do you mean it was plugged in but not turned on?

It was plugged in but there was no electricity in the building. After the rain I couldn’t get it to turn on but we had a huge lightning strike also the same day.

Does the wall power outlet that the PS5 was connected to have an on/off switch or do you simply plug something in to get power?
Asking as where I am all wall power outlets have individual on/off switches which isolate the active wire from the outlet connection.
If you just have to plug it in then there's always power available to the device, as long as power is available to the outlet that is and perhaps when power was restored to the building there was a power surge which may have impacted on the PS5 PSU.
Alternatively, lightning has been known to hit power lines, either overhead or underground and travel along the wires as well.
It may be prudent to connect the PS5, once it is fixed, via a surge protector to an outlet in future if storms are prevalent in your area.
