My day one PS4 HDD bricked on rest mode a 1 year and a half later. Tried to rebuild the database after a power outage and never got passed the error.
Tried loading the system update on a flash drive like the support site suggested but still had the error. Did some research online and found out I wasn't the only one. Nobody had the solution at the time.
Sony wanted to charge me $150 for them to replace it with a refurbished system.
Weeks later I tried another HDD finally solve the issue.
After that incident with rest mode never again
My cousin has a very similar problem right now with his ps4. He leaves it in rest mode all the time, it just stopped booting recently. Did you just swap hard drives and reinstall the firmware?
