Player’s PlayStation 5 “Bricked” By Lightning Even With A Surge Protector

Player's PS5 Bricked By Lightning Even With A Surge Protector

Sony’s PS5 has been quite a bit like a roller coaster ride ever since it was launched. Firstly, it proved to be an amazing piece of technology with some incredible new functions which shook the world of gaming. Then it suffered and is still suffering a huge scarcity of supply. Next, a month ago new lighter PS5 models were brought to the market. But then they were reported to have heating issues. After that, a few weeks ago these issues were debunked by an insider. Now, when finally, everything seemed to be settling, nature decided to hit PS5.

Lightning Strikes PS5

As difficult as it is to get a PS5, it seems like it’s also as difficult to keep one safe. A few days ago, we came across a rather funny piece where a woman decided to throw her partner’s PS5 off the balcony. It seems like now nature is up to the task of destroying PS5 as a user’s console go bricked by lightning. According to him, he left for a week and lightning struck his house frying his precious PS5 console.

“FML… I was gone for a week and lightning hit my house, PS5 bricked. Don’t take your console for granted and enjoy today’s update everyone,” dogen_lives_in_glass said.

The user named dogen_lives_in_glass took to Reddit to share his grief over a fried PS5 console. Another thing is that he had all his devices plugged into surge protectors, but obviously it didn’t do the deed. He urged fans to not take the console for granted and enjoy each and every moment of gaming. Also, he wasn’t the only person with whom this happened as the happened to a user last month.

What Can Be Done?

UNPLUG YOUR DEVICE!

  • As much as we are sorry for what happened with these users, it is somewhat their fault. We suggest you unplug your device and recheck it multiple times before stepping out for long. Seriously, it’s time to get back to the basics as these surge protectors are clearly not working much.
  • These consoles are very expensive, precious, and hard to get, so be a bit extra careful with them. Such things are in no way the manufacturer’s fault, and nature is, well, nature. You can’t control these things, but you can be more careful and take extra precautions. Also, the PS5 restock is about to happen in a few hours, so stay tuned!
