my ps3 froze so i turned it off in the back, then when i turned it on it said hard disk corruption and said that i need torestore it...so I did and it still said the same thing, has anyone has had this problem and do i need to send it to Sony for them to restore or transfer my files?
that happened to me it got corrupted and i was able to restore is sucessfly but i dont think on the first try i had to restore it twice buteverything is fine
i have tried it 8 times so far and nothing. Just wondering if I can get my profile back so i dont have to lvl up so many times in COD4 or do i hav to start a new one
i dont know what u should do really, that sounds like the best thing to do but i have a 60 gig ps3 and ive had it for over a year now and i havent had any problems where i need to call sony or take it apart or anything
If your machine is under warranty contact Sony, (08705 99 88 77 (calls charged at standard BT National Rate)) which I have just done today 18/01/08 with the same problem. They will simply replace your machine (not cables or box) for another one, and so everything on your machine is lost I'm afraid. They will not exchange just the hard drive either. I'm expecting mine on Monday 22nd
If your machine is out of warranty, then either reformat the hard drive using a laptop, or external enclosure, and the PS3 will then reformat it once its re-inserted and working. (if you can't do this take it to any local PC place who should be able to do this for next to nothing for you) There is nothing on the hard drive required for the PS3 so son't worry about reformatting your disk. OR buy a new SATA hard drive (any capacity) and use this instead. You should be able to get a SATA 2.5" hard drive for about £40, depending on the size you need. The easiest way to ensure you get the right replacement is remove the one in the PS3 and search on the part number on Google etc for a replacement.
just to let you know, you caused you Hdd to mess up. FYI when your system freezes you have to put your finger on the power nutton on the front of the system. you have to wait anywhere from 10 to 30 seconds for the system to reset. It will make 3 beeps which means you system shutdown properly. IF you switch it from the back you system will mess up. This is all in the manual.
hi mate, so if i format my hdd it will get rid of my ps3 network name right? and if it does, if i register it again will it have my cod5 rank still on there?
