I encountered a weird problem with my TV output and I am hoping someone could point out what may be the problem.I turned on my PS4 and all of sudden there’s no signal on my TV under that HDMI setting. I don’t think it’s any problem with power because the system light is on and I checked my HDMI it’s plugged in. There were no unplugging of any cables from the system or TV and the last time I used it a few days ago everything was fine. Anyone know what may be causing the problem? Is it likely the HDMI cable?
Due to no image on the TV I couldn’t use the controller to turn the console off and had to unplug it. Will this corrupt the external hard drive plugged to the console?
My OG PS4 did the same thing. It lost the signal. I had to enter safe mode and then my TV kicked in 720p mode. It seems my PS4 lost it's 4K setup somehow. But entering safemode fixed it, and I could start my PS4 in that mode and reset my 4k options under systemsettings after a reboot. So try that and choose Option 2: Change resolution.
How to Start a PS4 in Safe Mode
Ensure that the PS4 is completely off. Press the power button as usual, and it should blink a few times before your console powers down.
Press and hold the power button. You should hear a beep when pressed and another one seven seconds later. ...
Your PS4 should have booted up in Safe Mode.
Just a warning, DO NOT choose options 6 or 7 or you might reset your entire PS4 to factory default.
Options 2,3 and 5 is ok, but 5 will make all your folders go away, not the game installs, but you need to redo the folders and put you games back into them, so watch out.

I totally understand. It was the same for me, PS4 booted up but no screen (or rather,a black screen) but I solved it as I described it above so I hope it works for you too 👍
