Hello, I recently re-applied thermal paste on my PS4 Pro. When I put it back and turned it on, it beeps and you can hear the HDD or CD slot attempting to start (Assassin's Creed Valhalla in the CD bay). It then pauses and beeps three times before stopping. If I try again with the power button, it beeps once but does nothing.

Initiate a safe restart by holding the power button down for roughly 15 seconds. You'll hear one beep, then another after a brief pause. Release the button, and you'll see a selection menu appear. Consider updating your software through the internet, even if you believe the latest version is already installed. This process will download and install the update, along with rebuilding databases if needed. The console will restart automatically. Stay safe and good luck.
