Please help me hermits,ouya,android,sheep and lems.the cows aren't even replying to my thread on ps3 forums.Please help I wana play just cause 2 and I wana knife people on black ops 2

Ok.This started just about an hour ago.

this is what happend.

First I tried to start up my black ops 1 it came up with a black screen.

So then I turned off my ps3 and turned it back on.Then black ops didnt appear.So i tried Just cause 2 (digital) it had black screen aswell.

So then I turned my ps3 off and then on again.It was making a weird noise but then black ops 1 appeared and it worked!! (however my ps3 wasnt connected to the internet this time since I was searching on google for a soloution my ethernet wasnt in the ps3)So then I connected to ps3 it tells me to update so I update. then I get the black screen)

Again I turned my ps3 off and on.It told me to update black ops 1 so I clicked yes.Then It just went back to login then back to XMB by itself.

So now I just tried Just cause 2 again and its at a black screen.I give upppppp!!!

My black ops 1 is unistalled it just tells me to update/I get a black screen.(I have ps plus so maybe will auto update fix it?)It works when im not connected to the internet.An installed game such as JC2 doesnt work.Maybe the disc reader is broken?It happend to me 3 years ago it wouldnt read discs but then I clicked option 3 in recovery thingy and then it started working.

Please help me.I think I will try auto update now to see if it fixes but I doubt it will since my installed game doesnt work.

Troubleshooting on SW, this can only go well for you.

Since you can boot the drive isn't broken, and if this happens on multiple games you can isolate the issue to PS3 hardware/firmware.

Not really the right board for this but its probably because of the resolution. Did you change tvs or change resolutions recently? But anyways just hold down the power button for like 10 seconds or something like that.

the power button on the actual physical ps3 console does a reset of resolutions try that.

Is the black screen like a frozen black screen or like your ps3 isn't displaying the game properly?

I am far from an expert from a ps3, I just remember having an issues when I changed monitors that was fixed by holding the power button and starting the system over again.

If that doesn't work, just continue saving up for PC

You either have to press it for 10 secs while its off or press it for 10 seconds while its on. I really can't remember which though. Sorry man, its been awhile.
