I need help figuring out what I did to my ps4 and what needs replacement I had the new nba 2k 22 in the disc drive and the game was partly finished downloading so as it was doing that I brought shinobi striker which I previously had to use someone’s account to play it so the game popped up as light so I deleted it the first time and redownloaded it and it still said lite so then I deleted again but this time I double tapped the PlayStation button and it went to Home Screen slowed down then froze so I unplugged it plugged it back up and it wouldn’t turn on
