For the past few days,my ps3 slim(bought it @ launch in 1U) had started to give me problems..Here r the problem than i had encounter:-

1)It takes a verrrrrryyyy long time to load up the game

2)It takes a very long time to start-up the XMB(sometimes no icons at all,so i need to switch off and on the power switch cause no choice)

3)It often hangs

4)Then just now after i force switch off the ps3(cause hang),then when i turned it ON back,it went into recovery mode,it ask me to install back the FW3.01..SO after i install back,still no difference..All the problems r still there

**All this happen just recently only

I really dun understand la why its is like this,its only been what about 2 weeks only ..My last phat PS3 kaput because of YLOD.. ..

So im planning to go and claim the warranty tomoro..Any recommendations?I live in Ampang btw..KlCC's Sony Style ok?

actually the slim as i notice it compared to the phat one starts slower.. if u do a quick search allot of people who had the phat one noticed is first hand.

but the part where u say it hangs., i hv yet to experience tat

i read some similar cases on phat before, wtf now so fast occuring on slim set also

its still good for u coz u got local warranty, i now scared if my hk set got similar problem...

fuk sony really

ya la i also hope so ...sigh!..Really kacau la..I plan to get my MW2 tomoro ...No luck for me then

best take it to sony.
since you have the warranty.

take it to sony and screw them in their face and demand for a brand new ps3!

yea..Btw,can i claim it @ KLCC?

I think it's possible, but make sure call them first to confirm

orait..thanks

Do post of the updates since I also eager to know what will the sony center do on this kind of problem since it is not a hardware failure case.

It could be firmware corrupted due to hdd bad sectors (defective hdd?)... or otherwise

I assume you've done all these steps.

PS3 have pre-installed hdds from Seagate, Fujitsu, Hitachi, and Toshiba

im sure its a hard drive issue as the os is installed in the harddrive just like windows can get corrupted ,most probably a bad sector

yup yup ill update u guys...

Hmm, i am facing some symptoms too.

Games takes time to load especially after 4th hours of gaming.

Games can "hang" abruptly (although I thought this is due to the games itself)

Anyway, i will adhere to the advice from Bernard & Crystal from Gamers Solution

MAX 5 HRS GAMING PER DAY ONLY.

ic..but i rarely play more than 2 hours..So for my case,i dont think so is got to do with over-heating etc..

lots of thing inside phat sudah kena "potong"... .... that why thing like this happen... and i think , culprit for this problem.. is HD...

haiyo faiz...didnt notice u play long hours pun...still ur consoles have problems...maybe ko letak tmpat panas kot...try open spaces
