US name = Afrika (under Namco Bandai... )
Asia name = Hakuna Matata........

Singapore PS Store is selling 4.50 cheaper after conversion

Why while i update it using my usb,it goes up to 68%(installing) then it says file corrupted?

I dwnloaded the asian update though..

You don't have the slightest clue?

Guys helppppppp meee!!After the unsucessfull update(file corupted @ 68%),my ps3 often hangs even if i wanna go to settings...help me!!

Could you please give us the md5 of the downloaded file? Do not delete it yet.

If it is similar to the md5 provided by Sony, there must be some error during the unpacking/installing.

Please check at the firmware info in PS3 setting to make sure whether it is still on old firmware or on 3.00.

Thanks.

damn it now my ps3 show the YLOD light..help me plss....

Try do factory reset if that help.

if it is ylod, i don't think it is the firmware fault. maybe your ps3 was already dying and so happen it died when you updated your firmware.

I wanted to help, but being ignored

owh sorry vorchiel,im kinda scared right now..Btw,u want the file that i just dwnloaded just now?The update file?

The MD5 checksum.
Try downloading from http://www.brothersoft.com/md5-checker-38853.html

ur ps3 is dead, goner, adios.... =P

i want the md5 hash/signature of the downloaded file to narrow down whether the corrupt update is caused by bad download or bad unpacking/installing or the console itself is already dying and this is all just a coincidence like nwk stated above.

for the resolution, i suggest you to unplug the power at the back and wait a few minutes before trying again. and also try to turn on without the internal hdd.

ok so ill pluc out my hdd then....Btw,should i do a hard reset?:-

But remember, once you tarik the hdd, kena format, IINM...

ok now should i reformat my hdd or hard reset?

No I mean, when you pull out the hard disk, confirm kena reformat.
Do what vorchiel asked you to.

PS3 update runs fine for me, just that the glitter seems nice at first, but after a while I can't help feeling that it's a little gay. I've been socially brainwashed into thinking glitter = decoration favored by homosexual men.

I turned it to original.

I miss the chime very much

after take out hdd still cannot on...still ylod
