Go to Account Management, select Account Information, then select Billing Information. Enter your details there.
Not sure if all banks works. Mine is HLB and it works fine.

Try pressing the PS button on the controller until the Quit menu opens up. There you can select to switch off the console.

hi there.. just asking if you guys encounter loading disk problem

for example let say I start the game Uncharted 3.. it started with the black screen and the Drake ring spinning on the left bottom. and it just never progressed to the main menu. i have to restart the game couple of times before i can start to play

Even playing the new FIFA 13, game just show blackscreen after the PS3 Move instruction screen.

is this a hardware issue or something wrong with my setup?
*
Maybe your lens got problem?

I see a lot of recommendations for this :

Maxell BR-LC Blu-ray Lens Cleaner.

I'm gonna look for it on my next trip to Lowyat Plaza.
If I can't find it, I have to order from Amazon then.

I think one way to improve your NAT is to DMZ your router & PS3.
Here's a link of the instructional video in case you want to try it:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pm-9WFmpLpE&feature=related

There's 2 methods in this video: Port Forwarding & DMZ. Just follow the instructions related to DMZ.

NOTE: Pls do not connect other devices when your router in under DMZ. Security reason.

i try the port forwarding methods it fix some lagging on bf3 but it goes horrible when trying to surfing web through pc

Please use your default router settings when using your PC.
Only use your port forwarding or DMZ when you're using PS3.
And when your router is under DMZ or port forwarding, please do not use other device. Only use it on PS3.

There's another method using small screwdriver. But the uploader advised this method is only for YLOD PS3.
BTW, your PS3 is phat or slim?

Really ?  cry.gif

Yesterday I tried to full format which takes about 19 hours but still the systems is slow,,

Usually when I inserted the game bray it will continue to load fast, but this time it's slow,,

Very confuse now because I pretty sure that the last time I played it last month was ok, and now suddenly it becomes like this,,

Do you have any games (Demo, Mini or Full) in your HDD?
Any problems when loading them?

Thanks guys for replying,

No,

I never have any game in my HDD.

It's just that I can play any games but it will stuck for few seconds and then continue ok for seconds and then continue stuck,, I can't play games like this,,

How much do I need to spend on new hdd ?

How to know it's my hdd fault not the lens ?
*
I'm having almost similar problem as yours. Games that are run from Bluray get stuck.
But games that are run from my HDD not stuck.
I suspect it's the lens.
Here's a suggestion: Try downloading a game from PSN (Demo better, coz it's free) and see if the game can run smoothly from your HDD. If it's smooth, then your lens might be the problem.

Thank you, will try that this weekend.

Btw, how much that u spend for repairing your lens ?

One more thing, why did the lens go faulty ? Got any advice ?
*
I haven't replaced my lens yet. Planning to DIY it with the parts I'm going to order online.
I'm not sure what exactly caused my lens to go faulty. Main culprit should be dust, I think.
Plus, my Bluray is having loading problems too. So, it could be a combination of both.

My bluray is back to normal now. No more skipping/stuttering. rclxm9.gif

Method used: Cleaned the lenses with microfibre cloth. No alcohol used. Bought the special screwdrivers at Lowyat Plaza.

Reason for DIY: couldn't find the Bluray Lens Cleaner.

Really ? Wow, good for you. I still don't know what's wrong with mine and going to send them to technician for repair but my father wanna buy me a new one next weekend.

Guess I'm gonna send them to the technician to see what's really wrong with it.

How's the new super slim ps3 ? Has anyone here bought it? I wanna know the feedback.
*
Thanks. I made a lucky guess, i think.
Luckily it was the right one. laugh.gif

Super Slim got one advantage: if the lens is dirty, can clean it yourself quite easily. No need special screwdrivers and such. biggrin.gif
