The Sun: the game console can not be turned off by pulling the cord from the outlet
Many gamers have a habit of turning off their console incorrectly. This is reported by The Sun.
According to media journalists, players may develop a habit of turning off the game console by pulling the cord from the outlet. The authors of the publication warned users that this should not be done.
The material says that the console – for example, the PlayStation 5 or Xbox Seris – can only be turned off by pressing the power button located on the device. Otherwise, you can not only lose personal data, but also break the prefix. The method of turning off the device by pulling the cable out of the socket was called a common mistake by gamers.
Also, you can not remove the cord from the outlet if the set-top box is frozen and does not respond to commands. In this case, you need to press and hold the power button on the front of the console until it turns off. To launch the console, you need to press the same button once and wait for the gadget to load.
In early August, journalists from Kotaku reported that the PlayStation 5 had a USB issue that was causing the device to crash. It turned out that in the case of a long gaming session, the device can “burn” the controllers and accessories connected to it.
