PS4 opened today and after an hour of nothing and much googling I've come to the disheartening conclusion it is ****ed! Anyone else had the flickering blue light problem?!

I presume you've followed sony's troubleshooting guide?

Think I'll wait a bit before I buy one.

I thought I'd done the same..

But I unplugged my PS4 from the power supply after holding the power button too turn it off and then touched the power button too turn it on and it worked for me. Got a video of it failing...
