Another post about a PS4 dying

So la la la la I'm just happily playing Uncharted 4 The Lost Legacy when I hear a thunderous boom which takes out my power for just a second and then everything returns to normal. My PS4 is no stranger to power outages its probably seen about 10 or 12 of them since I got it(day one PS4). So I figured I would just start it up and wait...its not starting up. This shit is dead like Seth Bundle in the remake of the first fly dead might as well just take a rock and put it outs its misery. Though I'm not going to do that just yet since I'm trying to find some hope that their is something I can do. I'm not the most tech savy person, so I have no idea what to look for. Things I've tried.

  • Unplugging all the cords and replugging them.

  • Tried multiple different outlets.

  • Tried 2 other power cables.

  • Held the power button like its life depended on it for about 2 mintues several times to see if i could boot it in safe mode.

  • Cleaned any of the dust on the outside.

  • Took out Bloodborne, Horizon Zero Dawn, Nier Automata, Uncharted, Heavy rain, Beyond Two Souls, The Last of Us, and a few other playstation games surrounded the PS4. Lit some incense and prayed that with their support somehow it would work again.

  • Sang it 80s and 90s love songs.

  • Played it narrations from Morgan Freeman to soothe its soul.

  • Tried to see if it would accept disc and it makes a beep noise which is the only noise it will make.

It was in a surge protector which didn't help much and going by what I could find online its probably the power supply. At this point is their anything else I can try? Serious and joke answers are welcomed because I seriously could use any help or laughs right now. Also a second question related to saved data. Is their anyway to check whats currently saved online? I'm pretty sure I have itset up for automatically upload, but I don't know how frequent that is. I guess worst comes to worst I could just move the hard drive into a new one which I have no idea how to do, but people claim its not hard. I could try a ps4 repair store, but I probably would have to ship it there, but it might be better to just get a new one or a refurbished one.

Tl:DR My PS4 isn't turning on. I tried shit and its still not turnig on. Don't know what to do next.
