When i tried this i encountered several problems, firstly being that the system didn’t double beep at the start, the second being that the controllers do not turn on, nor bring up the menu, any suggestions?

When i on my ps3 it started as usually & the start up menu didnt appear. I offed & on few times, it appeared to be same. When i tried reseting with your steps, the screen went black & nothing appears now. Just the green light is there. When i put a disk blue light with it. But just a black screen i see. I think its not a video problem as the ps3 started at 1st without startup menu. Pleeeeeese help

I have a 360GB ps3 slim that won’t charge or sync my controllers. I’ve reset them, used different cables and still no joy. I made the mistake of resetting to factory defaults and now i have a brick because it cant sync the controller to proceed in the set-up process. The usb ports still powers up a mouse or thumbdrive but won’t charge or sync controllers. I haven’t opened the box yet but my main concern is retrieving my dada from the HDD. Any insight would be valuable.

Hi, I am kinda new to the PS3 things, I downloaded an original PS3UPDAT.PUP Firmware (4.11) and went to the recovery screen thing and selected System Update. About quarter through it I disconnected my pendrive (I think about 20%) and it started to finish from 20 to 100 in about 5 seconds. When I restarted the PS3 it just showed me the green light and just turned of after three seconds. NOT THE YLOD! I can still go to recovery screen but can’t update. I am panicking and I might send it off to Sony around this month, so could you hurry with a solution?

P.S I am currently trying to restore it, doesn’t seem to go so far. Had several encounters saying hardrive not found. Hurry please. I know that there are other people that need help but I hope you could help them and while doing so help me. Thanks in advance will let you know how it turns out in this week.

thanks for the solution, i have had my (newest) ps3 for around 2 years now and my four year old son knocked it on the floor for about the zillionth time today, and i thought it was shot, but with this thread i was able to fix it within minutes. again, thanks, saved me a few hundred bucks on getting a new one ;)

I tried the directions for getting to the safe mode using the start and eject buttons together and was able to update the system, which seems to have fixed the problem! I was running on the old 80GB fat system, and am thankful for the advice! Never again will I neglect to backup my data! Unfortunately, the newest system update seems to have removed my ability to copy individual game files to a thumb drive or the like, so I ended up making a system restore file. But at least I’m covered in the event of a more permanent PS3 death! Thanks again, saved me the cost of a new PS3 for sure!

I did this and it worked but I had to sacrifice my memory to do so and as soon as I turned it on had it running it gave me a black screen and shut off when I turned it back on it did the exact same thing. I am wondering could it just be screwed up and i need to get a new one because I just fixed Ryd and now it is doing this. Any suggestions?

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
My PS3 is alive again!

I was almost reserved to the fact that I’d have to fork out some money to get it fixed, but then I tried holding the power button and it got me to that menu (though it did take a couple goes to work). I chose the “2. Restore Default Settings” and all my game data and thankfully all my Fallout, GT5 and Assassin’s Creed saves are still there.

It’s my birthday in 1hr 15mins, so this is a great present from you guys. Thanks again!

I did all the steps and all that right. Then I chose number 6. the system update. I went on my computer put the update in the right format, PS3, UPDATE, all in caps as directed. I downloaded the newest version off of Sony’s website. Now when I hold select and start for it to locate my flashdrive, it doesn’t work. It’s put in correctly and everything.

Just an update on the ps3 fat 60 gb unit i sent in to PSR. inc to repair GLOD, Do not use these F’ers!!! They receive my unit in two days, wait two weeks to analyze a repair for the unit, have a stupid customer service woman send me an email, after reballing, we cannot repair your unit” due to overheating issues, they refund my 119.00, send my unit back to me, missing the hard drive cover, screw, and behold, RLOD!!! I am not an expert, but i don’t feel a reball would completely damage a unit, to total uselessness, if done properly, and create a supposed overheat issue, that was not present when sent in for repair, these so called repair places are bogus BS’ers, scamming whoever they can, but I am going to fight back on these clowns, don’t advertise a repair process that can’t be performed!!!

help/mehtab: hmm i have never heard of the cd thing your talking about, when you turn on your system do the wifi and hdd lights blinks just once? and thats it? or continuously?
I would not suggest any penny trick i have tried it once before and a reball would be a ton better.

Enrique: what were you trying to do?
by chance were you using the e3 flasher?
