If this was still 2006 and early 2007, yes firmwares will prove to be problemetic between different region of PS3 consoles.

Now?
Just update wherever you want from, firmware for PS3s has been universal for years.
They're all the same file, same MD5 hash, same size... same "same". laugh.gif

ic ..ok since there're no diff for each OFW ..so nw i can upgrade the OFW using any of the 3 diff regions on my ps3 malaysia set i think i'll try to use US OFW to update my ps3 malaysia set .. sori, i'm still leaning newbie on ps3 console and thank for d infor bro.. cheer!

all the data (save files, data caches, accounts...etc) will be deleted. Pretty much out from the box clean. I believe however the firmware still stays. Are u having any problems that you want to reformat ur ps3?
*
oh.. no la bro hehe .. helping my cousin to ask coz he bought the ps3 from his friends so previously his friends played those game and those files that cant remove away and got 1 demo game inside but he dowan to remove the demo game .. so he ask me can format onot but the demo game must remain so i not that sure can onot ...

u can format, but you will need to backup all ur save files and sync ur trophies in PSN. XD
as for the demo game, once u format it.....it will be gone. ur back up not included ur demo game so you might need to DL it again smile.gif.
*
icic.. but can those files backup on the external hard drive .. coz my cousin don't hv psn acc yet and the demo game no other way around to save the file b4 format it.. can the demo game files save in to hdd ?

u cant save the game files individually but u can however use the back up utility which pretty much back up everything including the games u have downloaded, save files, accounts. Remember to use an external media that is of FAT32. Since its a demo so im sure its ok to redownload from the psn store.
*
ic.. u mean everything can save into external hard disc but only the demo game cannot been save once format the game will format as well too and no other ways could save up d game .. am i rite bro..? nod.gif

1. try with other HDMI cable
2. turn off your PS3 , then press ( keep holding ) the power button until hear 2nd beep sound , your PS3 should detect HDMI cable and the best output resolution for it , press OK then follow the menu

bro i hv try the 2nd option is still same and for the 1 option i only got 1 hdmi cable ... it could be wat cause like that normally ? or i juz need to buy another hdmi cable .. sori man im not that pro on ps3 tech ..

I don't think ur hdmi got problem. if got problem u will got no picture. it's either got pic or no pic or got sparkle (u need to google myth about hdmi - sthing about cheap hdmi vs expensive hdmi then u understand about hdmi a bit.)

sometimes the flicker is cuz by the changing of resolution i.e xmb(1080p) to game (720p) play.

hi chipun if the hdmi no faulty then properly is the hdmi output that wat u mean ..? ya, i check b4 cheap hdmi and expensive hdmi actually they're no diff juz the diff is the packaging make it more expensive ..
