hi guys, my ps3 is having some problem just now
my ps3 is a 80GB sg set, just now while playing tekken 6, suddenly it switched off by itself back switch is on, but led is off
then i turn off the back switch, turn it on again, it able to power up,so i started the game(tekken 6) again
half way loading, poof, it turn off again...

had anyone faced similar problem before? i'm sked now

The YLOD symptom.

err...i thought 80gb is saved from YLOD? mine is CECHL

All fat ps3 will get YLOD. Better prepare to buy a new slim ps3 before your fat ps3 die for good.

dem, scary....aih i guess gotta start to fund for slim then

anyway, some updates on troubleshooting, read some suggestions on other forums regarding similar case
1. rest my ps3 for bout 45 mins
2. start up my ps3 and go to recovery menu
3. did a "recover file system"


tested same game again, so far no issues ....yet(finger crossed)

hopefully it can last longer

guys, how to fix my hdmi blank screen??

i couldn`t play at all using hdmi, though i bought a new cable and when select the option of hdmi, the screen shows it recognize ps3, but pictures are blank and no sound...

duh!

i got a 3.5" external 1TB hard disk.. can hook up to my ps3? will my ps3 detect it? can it support till 1TB? do i need to format it from my ps3 before using?

format it to FAT32 and ur ps3 can detect it.

now my hdd is NTFS.. so it wont be able to detect unless format to FAT32?

once format to FAT32 will it able to detect up to 1TB?

yup.you can try SwissKnife software to format it.just google it on the net and dload.

once i formatted to FAT32..

next time when wanna use as internal hdd in pc must format back to NTFS or just leave it FAT32?

Added on October 17, 2010, 8:53 pmi have mp4 files up to 10GB each.. will my ps3 able to read it once i formatted the hard disk to FAT 32? came across that fat32 doesn't support more than 4GB

nope, FAT32 can only read max 4Gb per file, so your 10Gb per file ( movie) is not going to be read by the ps3. Break up your files into 3 or 4 parts then lo

Is there any way to stabilise my internet connection ? i always seem to get in and out in PSN thus i can't play online since i disconnect too often...i have NAT TYPE 2 if that info helps....

guys, i'm not sure if this question already got mentioned or not...did anyone got this kinda problem while downloading any newest patch or newest game demo on psn or blue ray which is stuck at 14% while installing patch or demo game on ps3? i need help on this...

if using 2.5" external hard disk also read maximum 4 GB per file?

Hi guys,

I just bought a PS3 Singapore set, do I actually need to put in the Singapore address when I register for the warranty and PSN?
From the


But I guess that was from few year back since Malaysia do have the PS3 launched here. Can anyone give me some pointer?

On the other note, about this DS3, the sticker at behind look different from what I saw from others, does this look fake or is this normal? I heard there are a lot of fake DS3 and I am worry mine might be one too since the sticker look different. Btw, I did not feel any screw behind.

cant seem to work swissknife in vista even under compatibility mode also.. i heard that it can only create partition up to 32GB not more than that?

any other 3rd party software to format to fat32 for 1TB capacity?

guys,

i just got myself a ps3 official headset .. according to the manual, the red light will be blinking while charging and will not blinking when it is full charged.

the problem is i left it overnight (around 5-6 hours) to charge on the stand but the red light is still blinking .. any idea why?

does your display support fullhd 1080p?

try "partition magic".
