My PS3 Broke!!

Gold Member Username: RideredderCornell, IL USA Post Number: 1752 Registered: Sep-05 | I swear I have the worst luck with electronics. Last night my ps3 froze on me so I switched it off and when I turn it on now this screen pops up that says the HD's file system is corrupt and needs to be restored. So I hit OK and wait a few minutes and it pops up again, and just keeps doing it. I tried everything I could think of to fix it besides take it apart and it just does the same thing. I read a few websites that showed problems like the yellow light of death and sh!t like that, but none say anything about the problem that I'm having. |

You could buy a laptop hard drive enclosure (around $20 shipped on newegg), plug it in via USB to a desktop, and do a System File Check on the drive. Windows will analyze the file structure and repair it without any loss of files (saved games). Or, you could take the HD out and put it in a laptop and do an SFC. Or, You might need this so that your comp recognizes the Seagate drive: http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/support/downloads/discwizard And the third option, which you should try first, is this: 1.Turn on the ps3 and the little red light should turn on 2. Hold the power button until you hear three beaps, the system should turn off again and the little red light should appear again. 3. Hold the power button until you hear three beaps again, that should take you to recovery mode 4. Chose the setting that says Restore Playstation 3 System... It will erase everything in your hard drive but your ps3 should be working again....the secret menu only works on ps3's that have firmware higher than 2.50 What generally causes this problem is the PS3 powered off during the 'write to disk' stage of game startup, which is easy to do if the factory default "Auto Start Game" setting is on in System Settings. Turn it off. |

From graphics all the way to gameplay lol. I borrowed modern warfare 2 and this game's multiplayer is really addictive.

Now when i hook it up using my cord from my other ps3 it turns on ok, but for some reason my controllers wont sync and my remote wont work for it either. Any thoughts on how i can see if this thing works? Any help would be great thanks |

It just stays on the main menu like its not reading the game. Any thoughts on this? And is there a cheap or easy fix to it? Thanks guys any help would be great |

Gold Member Username: RideredderCornell, IL USA Post Number: 1756 Registered: Sep-05 | I don't know how to get my online info back. My brother set up the account and he can't remember the password. The games I have are GTA 4, Bioshock, GH Metallica, PURE, COD MW 1&2. I only play COD online, maybe Guitar Hero once in a while. I've owned all the Metal Gear games besides 4. I love those kind of games (except for the one on NES, that one sucks). As far as racing games, I downloaded the GT5 demo and I was not impressed at all. I also downloaded the Dirt series games demos and I thought they were pretty good. I love ATV and MX racing games so PURE was one of the first games I bought for it. I played the Pulse demo too and thought it was pretty good. I played the Uncharted 1 demo. That game seems pretty cool. |

Gold Member Username: RideredderCornell, IL USA Post Number: 1758 Registered: Sep-05 | How do I get my online info back? I went to the Playstation Network website and typed in my email address and it said invalid email or some sh!t. My brother used my email address to set it up so I don't know why I can't get my password. I typed in my user name also and still nothing. |
