it seems like an issue with the power cable or power cable port.

try to detach and reattach the cable....from both sides....power socket and ps4 socket...

moreover, clean the port....

Hello Guys, I have a question.

I live in a region where there is a massive electricity problem. We receive about 4-6 hours of electricity every day. So to ensure I can ensure a somewhat decent standard of living,

I've hooked up my home to a 260 Watt Solar Panel that charges my Homage UPS (the battery is a 240AH model) and if I manage my electricity consumption properly, I can spend the entire day and night with electricity.

Now this is my question which are in two parts.

1. If I turn my ps4 on when the lights are turned on and put it into rest mode, would it hurt my system when the lights go out and I go onto my UPS? I need to update
my games and I think it would be utterly impossible for me to rely on WAPDA
2. Can I connect my stabilizer to the UPS or is that not worth it? My solar panel setup produces stable electricty at 225 Volt but local electricity is between 180
Volt-200 Volt. Would the change over affect my system?

do you have a pure sine wave UPS ? because if not just a regular ups or modified one than the ps4 would shutdown because it can't handle sudden jolts that regular ups give. I had regular one and ps4 would always shutdown, now I got puresine wave one and ps4 whether in rest or turned on never needs a break unless I want it to :)

How can i verify if my UPS is a pure sine wave one? it's a homage axiom 1202

Please can you tell us your ups model and do you play ps4 games with ups backup? If yes than which battery and backup time?

Wow, these are shoddy numbers even for Pakistan! May I know where you live?

As for your queries:
1. You would need a pure sine wave, line interactive ups. The pure sine wave part would ensure there is no sudden distortion in power, and it is as close to Wapda power as possible. The line interactive part would ensure that there is minimum time between light going out and the backup power coming on. If this delay is more than a few milliseconds, as is the case with most local UPS, the PS4 would shut down.
1b. Homage Axiom is not pure sine wave. Don't trust it with your expensive electronics.
1c. I would recommend an APC UPS if you can spend the money, otherwise go with an Aurora one.
2. Mos consumer electronics can make do with a range of voltages so there is no need of a stabilizer, as such. What I would recommend is a surge protector.
