Sony launched PS4 system update 9.00 last week, but it’s only now that reports have started to come in that the firmware appears to have fixed the missing CMOS battery issue.
That’s according to Destruction Games on Twitter, who first flagged up the issue regarding the CMOS battery, who revealed on social media that PS4 update 9.00 appears to have fixed the problem. Upon testing, they were able to play games on a PS4 with a missing CMOS battery while offline.
Obviously this is not official but Destruction Games seems to be on to something here, and with some more testing, we’ll hopefully have a better idea of what exactly the latest PS4 Firmware has remedied in regards to this issue.
