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.

This right here is unacceptable, not only might your unit be dead on arrival, but once you do get it to work it might overheat, im no fanboy. I've had both systems but why would they put in a hdmi port that break so easily?

TTG_KoReKzdaRealRushShenCRM TBH there shouldn't be problems sony are pathetic.
Every single product has problems. It is life.
Exactly, every product has problems! Watch, I guarantee that the Xbox One will have a couple of problems or so.
Yeah which won't be that easy to fix like this one.
Didnt know that you could tell the future. The PS4 also has some more complicated problems than this that they need to fix. Im sure the Xbox One will also have its share.

NV_Lobbys Some of the **** these people say about how the Xbox is better than Sony is ridiculous, and this is coming from an Xbox fan.
Its always gonna happen. It doesnt matter which console is actually better, people are always gonna give ridiculous reasons why their favourite brand is better.
