PS3 Issues: Report and Discuss Problems.

I hate people like that...

Only problem I have with my PS3 is that it hasn't been hacked >:

 

well, i figured id post my problems i have had with the ps3....

i bought my first ps3 when they came out...no problems for like 5 months and then during game play, it just cut out on its on...and would not turn back on or eject the game...so i called sony and they replaced it no problem...well, just the other day i was playing ratchet and clank and then turned it off for a few hours and then decided to watch a blu ray....after the movie..i turned it off and hit the bed...got up the next day, turned it on to play drake and it said i need to rebuild my database...basically all my saved data and everything will be gone...so i was like i guess i have no choice...so i clicked ok and supposibly it only take like 5 mins or so but mine sat at zero percent for almost 3 hours...

so i called sony up and explained to the lady on the other end on what happened and she didnt know what i was talkin about...in then end i think my hard drive just gave out...so now im goin to my 3rd playstation...

i havent heard of to many other people having this problem...so i figured id post this just to let people know this might be something gradually happening like the 3 red lights with the xbox 360...

 

Stonedawg how are you turning it of,do you turn it of via control pad/touch sensitive power button on the front or are do you turn it of straight from the power button at the back.

I know it may seem a strang question,but if you turn it of continuasly at the back or at the plug socket before shutting it down properly that can damage it.

 

control pad/touch sensitive power button..trust me thats 600 bucks worth a machine..i dont wanna damage it lol...

 

Well from my last post I still dont have my PS3 back! I was meant to get a email saying when it had arrived, no email. I called on the 25th and was told that sony australia repair centre had received it on the 22nd Jan and as I was told initially over the phone a 48hr turn around to be sent back out.
I get an email last night (31st Jan) saying we have just received your PS3 and the turn around at the repair centre will be 7-10 days!

Sent them a email asking what the @#$% is going on, no reply, called this afternoon after still not receiving it in the mail and old matey on the phone said there has been a delay and now they are 7-10 days so I asked for a supervisor and he said "there are no supervisors after 5pm" yet the call centre is open until 8pm?
I dont know what else to do now and this is a joke?
Can I bring consumer affairs into this?

Sony Australia is pathetic...

I need some help...I was playing my ps3 and the game froze up. I turned my ps3 off and then back on. When I turned the ps3 back on, it would not play my game. It will not even play a movie or any of my other games. It did this before and I just turned it off and waited 10 minutes and it started playing the game again but it did not work this time. Any help is appreciated...thanks

 

Eject the disc, disconnect the power. When you reconnect the power turn switch in back on. Then hold down the power button for 10 seconds. Then try to play a game. See if that works.

 

Exactly what happened to mine. Had to send it back for a REFURBISHED unit.
If in your in Australia and have 60gb model, good luck.
I sent mine 15th of Jan and still dont have it! I have now progressed to the ombudsman as there managers were no help.

 

15 jan, pff
Ive send mine on 15 dec and recieved it back on 26 Jan. And this was in Belgium, europe.
I guess it can take a while. I also know a guy than recieved a broken unit after 2 weeks and than had to wait 8 more to get everything fixed.
However i did had an 40gig model so i recieved perfectly new unit

 

If you did read my previous post to that it was meant to be a 48hr turn around.
Needless to say that hasn't happened.
And fool for you waiting over a month without acting on it anyway!

These arent $20 items they are $1000 consoles made by one of the biggest companys in the world

 

apparently cod4 causes problems on 2.10 but i havent had problems

 

hi regarding the ps3 it is not region free have tried to play jap and usa games on a uk ps3 and it does not work tried it in hd and standard colour format.

 

Dude you are correct PS3s are NOT region free,i have said this on quite a few ocasions,however PS3 games ARE region free.

 

I have a problem with restoring My PS3, what i did is i got a new HDD, and when i fixed the new HDD i trayed to restor my old files from the old hard disk but it ceep says this (there is no backup data) but when i chaked my usb flash in my computer all the PS3 backup data are there.

 

wonder can anyone help me.tryin to connect a bluetooth headset to ps3 but upnp is not available and nat type is showing as nat 3?

 

My 40GB worked for 9 DAYS!!! I am so pissed because I imported it from Amazon USA to Trinidad where I live. Now I have to pay shipping to Amazon and from amazon to florida. i think the blu ray laser died. it shows the lil circle in the top right corner but no game shows up.

 

hey guys second post regarding this same issue over the ps3 just stopping reading discs. I figure that I can get more help from other forums because the folks over at sony aren't too quick to respond and when they do it is always call sony. I did some checking and I think I am going to end up replacing the laser lens. As far as it goes and nobody will answer my question on the other boards, these laser lens replacements you can get from ebay, they should work with no problem? (I know it says ps3 replacement but if a scammer is wanting to get you to buy something he can say what he wants)There is no warranty remaining so I am not worried about voiding something that isn't there I just don't want to buy something that isn't going to work. as far as replacing it, eh no big problem there, I have poked around in playstation 1 and playstation 2 systems before, and I could replace the lens no problem. But just to put it out there, I was doing a search for this problem and came across the yahoo answers section. A user over there said to turn off the information download that is up in the right corner, but seriously, it isn't that simple is it?

 

Ye, you should buy a new lens/diode. There are few on ebay for 40-60 euro. I dont think that its difficult to replace it.
U can als wait untill they hack PS3, so u can play from HDD (ps3news are making huge progress)

 

Hi guys,
Im having trouble with playing online on Resistance: Fall Of Man. I can connect to the internet and everything but when Im about to play online on the game itself it says disconnected and takes me back to the game main menu.

Does it have anything to with the fact UPnP is unavailable? I need advice...
Thanks guys and girls,
Andy P

 

yeah actually cost 58 usd (with shipping) got it in the mail. I was a bit worried what with all the small connections and stuff, but when I finally got it all back together and turned it on I would have to say when I put that cd in (didn't have any games handy.)and it popped up music cd and started playing, I was freaking ecstatic.
next step and much easier, get a bigger hard drive.
