PS4 Owners of Faulty Hardware Are Unable To Upgrade To 5.00 Firmware
That error code is supposed to indicate a faulty Blu Ray drive, and is allegedly popping up for a multitude of users who are trying to update their systems, according to a lengthy thread on the official PlayStation forums, as well as one on the PS4 subreddit. Users with faulty hardware flat out seem to be unable to update- trying to do so in Safe Mode doesn’t seem to address the problem either.
This is an issue, because online services, such as the PSN Store, are inaccessible without updating firmware- so these players are left with largely useless consoles as a result. Hopefully Sony pushes out a fix for this problem soon.

MushroomElm If it is faulty hardware, there is only one solution: Getting it replaced. The only problem with that, I doubt Sony will approve that much man labor in free replacement parts. We'll have to see what they do.
Na... if your disc tray or one component doesn't work that shouldn't mean you can't use your console online at all that would be pretty stupid. Its a stupid mistake sony made.

This isnt looking good from a marketing stand point imo. I hope they figure out a way for people to gain access to the store so they can play lol
