I've been searching the internet and these fora for a while and I've come to the understanding that there is no possible way to recover your saved data from your ps4 hard disk drive. My original ps4 has stopped giving me video or audio output (important note: the system is still functioning just fine! When I plug in my headset I can still navigate through the menus and/or start a game,...).
I've tried to transfer my data to my new ps4 pro, but without an image it is almost impossible to navigate. The broken, original ps4 still has another system version and I know sony likes to change stuff overtime menu-wise. Also going to downloads is hard because of different notifications coming in.
Does anyone have any tips for me? If I could just transfer my files to my new ps4 I would be more than happy. After that I could try some more risky solutions to repare my old ps4 without the danger of losing my files forever (300 hours of the Witcher3, 200 hours of Skyrim,...)
PS my cloud storage stopped working some years ago for a reason I still can't understand. It said that my primary ps4 was changed, but I never did this nor did anyone have acces to my account on another system. Deactiviting wouldn't work back then, I have yet of today been able to resolve this.
