It sounds like the firmware on the PS4 has been removed. You can try to re-install it using the PS4 Recovery Menu and a USB drive.

You can access the Recovery Menu as follows:

  1. Turn off the PlayStation 4 completely. Do not use in Stand-by / Rest mode.
  2. Once the PlayStation 4 is off, press and hold the power button. Release it after you’ve heard two beeps: one when you initially press, and another 7 seconds later.
  3. Connect the DualShock 4 controller with the provided USB cable and press the PS button on the controller.

From the Recovery Menu, you need to choose Option 7: "Initialize PS4 (Reinstall System Software)". But note that this will delete all the data on your PS4 (if any still exists).

Instructions on loading a USB drive with the update file can be found here.
