During day 3 of me levelling (by actually questing and playing) my first alt in 2 years, a surge occurs (yes I use a surge protector but surge was so minor it didnt trigger). The playstation 4 shuts down, my fan slows down, the clock on the microwave remains untouched. Once the fan resumes regular speed I realise, nay, my PS4 appears to be a brick now. After hours of searching for fixes nothing worked.

Since I basically only play ESO anyway, I might just go buy a PS4 Pro. Is it better for running ESO and will I be able to play in my account if I do?

    Yeah. The only thing stored locally are your settings. Your saved data is all remote.

    Yes the pro is slightly better in performance and a lot better if you combine it with SSD.
    If you are like me playing only ESO , buy 256gb SSD and use your HDD as an external for the ps4 or for your PC if you have one .

    Well on the bright side when stuff breaks you have a better reason for picking up something better :smile:

    Unless they sell a seperate version for the Pro I'm pretty sure you still use your old account.

    Top left of the PS4 there's a cover take it off and grab the hard drive out, and I didn't really read the whole post but If it can turn on run it in safe mode, i would check if you have a warranty
    But I love my PS4 pro easy to clean, better graphics
