Why is the Error Code E-8210604A Triggered in the first place?

After having to fix this issue for some of our users, we concluded that the following must be the most important reasons due to which it is triggered.

  • DNS Issues: It is possible that there might be some discrepancies in your DNS settings due to which the error is occurring while trying to pay for your subscription. Therefore, we suggest that you reconfigure these settings and check to see if that fixes the issue.
  • Credit Card Issues: In some cases, it is possible that the credit card that you are using for the payment might not be able to process the payment because your Bank account is preventing you from being able to pay for it.

Now that we have taken you through most of the reasons behind the issue, we can finally start implementing the solutions.

Before you Start:

  1. Make sure to perform a complete Powercycle of your Router and your PlayStation. For that, shut them both down and unplug them from the wall socket. After that, make sure to press and hold their power buttons for at least 30 seconds to drain all the static electricity from them. After doing so, start them back up and check to see if the E-8210604A error is fixed.
