PS4 becomes a brick once CMOS battery dies

[Mavrick]

Long story short you need to be able to access Sony servers if/when your battery dies otherwise you can't even play Disc based games.

If you want proof of the #cmos issue with ps4's then heres video. I took out the battery and put the ps4 back together. The result, no physical or digital games work offline without connecting to Sony's server. ALSO may cause game install data corruption

Pt2 After reinstalling Toukiden 2, the same thing happens. Without the #cmos battery installed both Atelier Ryza 2 and Toukiden 2 must connect to the server in order for them to work, even though these are physical disc. gives error CE-30391-6

PT3 I decided to connect the #ps4 back to Sony's servers to see if the games would start to work again. It would work but only after logging back into the account. just to recap, this ps4 has no battery installed as I removed it for testing. #cmos #cbomb
