MOST FRUSTRATING EXPERIENCS OF MY LIFE!
Okay first off, the danm thing took 15 days to get here, got dispatched twice from Play.com, apparently.
Then it arrives, and im woken up by a phone call from my mum telling me that a package got delivered to my nans house because no one was here to answer the door, well yeah I was trying to sleep FFS!
Anyway, I go to my nans, get the package, come back and hey it's my new hard drive! Brilliant I thought, just a few minutes and i'll be using my new Hard Drive with ease. I get my PS3, the toolbox and the new hard drive layed out on the table, pop open the socket where the hard drive is located, unscrew the blue screw, take out the tray, attempt to unscrew the old hard drive from the tray AND HEY GUESS WHAT THEY'RE REALLY DANM STIFF!
So I spend about 10 minutes unscrewing 3 of the danm things, and finally get to the forth. This is where it all turned ugly.
I attempt to unscrew it, the screwdriver kept popping out and refusing to turn the screw. I try again about 20 times. I then say to myself, okay, this time push really hard and it will come undone. I push really hard, I can feel my hand shaking then BAM! The screwdriver pops out and I dig it right into my leg! I cut myself and im bleeding badly, I get up and slam my fist on the table in anger, OH JOY THE TOOLBOX JUST FELL OFF AND ALL THE TOOLS WENT EVERYWHERE. I was so angry at that screw at this point I just thought, okay this thing is coming off right now no matter what. I shake the tray it's in and bend it in so many unessecary ways. I finally managed to get it off somehow, and now because I was an idiot and bent the tray I need to bend it back into shape if it has any hope of being put to use again. OOPS I JUST SNAPPED OFF ONE OF THE PEICES OF METAL THE SCREW GOES IN.
Well yeah I managed to finally get it to fit back in my PS3 and it actually worked to my surprise, I downloaded 2.42 off of Playstation.com, installed it back on the PS3, changed all my settings back to how they where and what not, uploaded all my save files and what have you. And now im here writing this blog while I wait for all my PSN games to download again.
It hasn't been easy and I would definitley plan this out had I known the kind of state I would get myself into, but now it's just plain sailing and no more deleting stuff to make room for other stuff.
