I was recently updating the Resistance 3 Beta, when the screen just turned blank, and the Power button at front wasn't responding, even after leaving the system on for 10 odd mins. The game didn't even update, and I couldn't reset the system. The eject button is working fine though. What should I do? Thanks

Forgive me but what is a surge? I'm a dummy in computers. Does that mean the PS3 is going to mess up?

Hi i know this is a old thread, but did you get the slim going again? I have a ps3 Slim 320gb , the power button does no work the only way to turn it on is by inserting a disc :( i have changed the on offf board and there is nothing wrong there I have changed the power on ribbon but still it only works if you insert a disc and i need the on off button , because i changed my tv over and i need to reset the output ( holding the on off button for 5 seconds ) so i now have no picture someone help please?

You turn on your PS3 by inserting a disc? why you dont turn on with the PSbutton on your dualshock?

Why are you bumping a thread that's more than 2 years old?
