One of the biggest problems of the PS4 and PS5 it’s your CMOS battery. This component makes it possible for the internal clock of the consoles to work correctly. However, this product is a time bomb, and when this item stops working, it will be almost impossible to access any game without an internet connection. Fortunately, a solution has been found.
Although a long time ago a fan managed to find a solution to this problem on the PS4, the issue persisted on the PS5, but this has changed. Through his YouTube channel, the user known as Hikikomori Media, shared a video in which he offers a way to enjoy games on the new Sony console once the CMOS battery stops working in approximately 10 years.
Hikikomori Media did the following process on firmware 21.01. What he did was remove the battery and disconnect the PS5 from the network. In this way, you have verified that games that previously did not work well, are already installed normally. However, there are still a couple of problems with the titles linked to PlayStation Plus, since it is essential to have a connection to PSN.
Because the CMOS battery is directly connected to the motherboard and affects the internal clock, most games could not work without an internet connection and the PlayStation Network. The problem is that these servers will not be available forever. Fortunately, there is a solution, although it is not official, it is something that it seems that eventually we will all have to do.
On related issues, Sony wants to sell more than 22 million PS5s in five months. Similarly, these are the total sales of these consoles currently.
Editor’s Note:
It’s a shame that basically all Sony consoles at the moment have an internal pump. Fortunately, it seems that the process to fix this problem is not that complicated. Now we can only see if someone is still playing on the PS4 or PS5 in 10 years.
