When audio, console or wearable behavior changes with one app, game, host or connection, the working context proves the entire device has not failed. For PlayStation console power and shutdown, first disconnect accessories, cool the console and test direct power in open space.

0 of 4 completedCapture the exact failure state
ReversibleName the failing app, game, host or connection and one context that still works. Expected behavior: remain powered under menu and game load without thermal or supply protection.
Isolate the component boundary
ReversibleDisconnect accessories, cool the console and test direct power in open space. Swap only the app, host, profile, cable or wireless connection while keeping the accessory unchanged. Boundary to separate: console versus outlet, cord, ventilation, accessory and internal hardware.
