Is it bad if you connect the PS4 with the first cable with the socket and only then attached the other side to the AC IN port of the console?

Or does it not matter?

I think that would apply to PCs, laptops, etc.

No makes no difference. Just out of curiosity how do you think it could be bad?

Pa

Because if I do that it flashes at the connection

Kn

Achso but no nothing happens the lightning is only because the electrons jump from your cable to the port

Re

Possibly. Will this article help you?

Incidentally, the PS4 has the PSU installed in the device - ie where AC is converted into DC, ie no external "Powerbrick".

And if you plug the cable into the appliance box first and then into the outlet, it'll flash in there, you just do not see it. So it does not matter.

It is only different with some battery chargers, because you have to first pack the batteries in the device and then plug it into the socket, otherwise it will not charge.
