Wondering how to fix the PS5 safe mode stuck on option 7? Well, a lot of console users have been facing this issue. For most folks, the console automatically boots in the safe mode, and only option 7 is available. This option lets you reset your PS5 and then reinstall new software. So while it is a great option, it is a nightmare for folks who have not backed up their cloud saves. As you might know, resetting will erase all your data and start everything from zero. So, to save you from this problem, we have some methods that might help you out.
What is the safe mode?
Well, similar to Windows and PS4, it is a troubleshooting mode that allows you to resolve most of your console’s issues. Your PS5 boots with limited features and options that help you to sort out the problem. You can solve most of your disk and display-related issues in safe mode. It is fairly easy to boot your PS5 in this mode. Sometimes when your console detects problems, it auto-boots in safe mode to troubleshoot it. But, like other features, it is prone to bugs as well. It is quite ironic but true. So, continue reading the article to resolve your issue.
PS5 safe mode stuck on option 7: How to fix it?
Now, resolving this issue can be a little tricky. For most folks, getting stuck on option 7 means that their PS5 is already bricked. By bricked, we mean that your console’s software and firmware are corrupted and there is no way to revert and save the existing data. If this is the case, then resetting your PS5 is the only option. But, let us keep our fingers crossed and hope that it is a temporary glitch. Now, let us proceed with the solution.
1) Press the power button and turn off your console.
2) Now, press and hold the power button and release it after the second beep.
3) Next, press the PS button on your controller to enter the Safe Mode manually on your PS5.
4) Now, if you have backed up your cloud saves, then reset your PS5 and clear the cache memory.
5) You can also try switching off the console from the options and then starting it.
If you have not backed up your saves and have a friend with a PS5, then ask them to log into your account through their console. Now, he/she can back up your cloud saves and you can then reset your PS5. Also, if these methods did not work and you’re back to square one, then it is best to contact Sony or the nearest service center. A lot of folks reported that they had to get their consoles replaced.
