Anticlimactic and somewhat embarrassing update: as some people suggested, I left it unplugged for about half an hour last night and then tried plugging it back in… and it didn’t work. So I left it unplugged for a couple of hours and then tried it again before bed… and it didn’t work. Same error light despite multiple power-cycling attempts. So I left it unplugged overnight and plugged it back in today to try some of the BIOS stuff that other people suggested… and it booted up immediately without issue.
I feel stupid about even posting this now, especially since it blew up a bit, but I was tired and irritable after a long day of work, and an ominous GPU error code wasn’t exactly the seamless plug-and-play experience I had hoped for. But I guess if anyone encounters the same error, don’t panic like I did, just let it sit for a few hours and it will somehow sort itself out. Anyway, I’m sorry for the false alarm, thanks to everyone who suggested solutions, and now I’m going to spend this weekend playing Crusader Kings until my eyes hurt.
I love, despite the large amount of broken shit on the deck, people are desperate to defend this thing as the second coming. Just fascinating.
It seems like your getting down voted for 'large amount of broken shit", which I don’t know about, but I agree people seem way to willing to forgive a pretty bad error with this, when I expect they’d not if it was a different company.
Define “large amount of broken shit on the deck” please.
Flakey Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Utterly broken screen scaling
So having a weak wifi and, apparently, “utterly broken screen scaling” is “a large amount of broken shit”. Idk mate, I was expecting something kinda worse than two non issues…
Yeah having shitty wireless controller performance and broken Wi-Fi is NBD for a gaming console is NBD. I swear the amount of cope because you align ideology wise is crazy. Just hand waving basic issues away 🤣
Gordon Ramsay you donkey meme in action.
Two decks at home and not a single of those issues. I must be lucky. Three more among my friends and same. Must be lucky too…
I mean, yeah. You came here to shit on a console that nobody is taking about but sure it must be us coping… Are you ok? Did Gabe steal your candies? Who hurt you so badly that you have to come online to insult randos and talk shit about an unrelated topic on an internet post?
