This flaw can affect thousands of devices and cause serious problems. Sony has not yet made a statement about the situation, but increasing complaints on forums and social networks worry the fans of the brand.
The problem is a faulty cooling system. As a result, consoles overheat during gaming, which can lead to various problems. In some cases, consoles overheat even when watching movies or using applications.
Owners also complain about a very loud fan (similar to the one on the PS4 Pro) followed by a message stating that the console is overheating.
Sometimes the device even shuts down as if it was disconnected from the power supply. Shutting down a random console will cause a permanent memory failure, which can eventually damage its components.
What can you do about this? Nothing so far; Sony has not yet released an official statement about the defective PS5 Slim. Unofficial messages appeared on the forums that the company was investigating the issue.
