PS4: some HDMI issues can be attributed to metal piece in port
According to the site, the HDMI port itself was the issue, not the console, due to a piece of metal not being flush with the bottom of the port.
Because the metal piece wasn’t square with the entry point, it kept the HDMI cord from being plugged in all the way. It would also damage the cord in the process.
The fix: press the piece of metal down so it’s no longer sticking up; plug the cord back in and it works.
The cause of the problem is unknown, but sounds like a manufacturing issue, and it is unknown if users other than Kotaku have experienced the same issue. But, it’s better to be safe than sorry – so check your system to make sure if you are having HDMI issues.
Sony acknowledged on launch day that there had been “several problems reported,” and nothing singular impacting a broad percentage of systems. The number of affected systems represented less than .4% of shipped units to date, said the firm, which is “within our expectations for a new product introduction.”
Sony Worldwide boss Shuhei Yoshida said at the time the issues were “isolated incidents” and last night EA suggested several gameplay issues being experienced were due to PS4 firmware update 1.50 before retracting the statement as being posted in error.

Int All I'm seeing is issues and issues upon issues, to me this isn't good media coverage.
Not at all.
I really thought the PS4 would of done a lot better, there weren't a lot of problems with the PS3. I think there is more PS4 problems in 2 days then there were problems on the PS3.

OhmKatsumiTed- They should have looked into this issue before shipping the console, that's what testing is for.
Well.. accidents happen i guess. Hopefully they will learn from this next time
this is true but you would think such a big named company would have thought of htings like this.
I agree, by no means do i think that this accident is excusable. It shouldn't of happened in the first place

Maybe if they worked more on their console instead of pulling jokes out their ass about the Xbox One. It would have worked :)

That's why Sony must learn from their mistakes.
