80 to 500GB reporting in! Feels nice not to be so restrained by such a small HDD space, now i can install all my games!
Added on September 5, 2011, 7:44 pm QUOTE(terryfu @ Aug 3 2011, 12:07 AM) Hi. Anyone facing this problem? Posting here as the other thread got minimal replies. Oh yes I encountered that problem too bro, you just have to switch on the PS3. Hold the power button until you hear 2 beeps, that should reset your whole system. I thought my PS3 was dead when I saw that message, thankfully google was by my side again. lol when you reset it, you NEED to have the latest software update ready to install (ver 3.70 and above). Without that update, you can't do anything. The PS3 will give you a step by step installation guide, after the system has installed the software update, all you need to do it restore all your games and everything. Mines working fine, I'm playing away happily, but I forgot to sync trophies though D: lol hopefully you have all your stuff backed up.Cannot Start. The Correct Hard Disk Was Not Found When it Occured : Was playing Dragon Age II when the game hang, and I did a reset. After reset, the error message came out yesterday around 1 am. What has done so far : I've looked at a few websites, and all ask to do soft reset and enter Bios. However, following the instructions, I can't even get into the Bios, and the error message keeps appearing. PS3 Specs : 1. PS3 Slim - Latest Firmware (3.66 I think) 2. 500 HDD Seagate Momentus XT hybrid drive (bought about 6 months ago) - 60% filled. Other Notes : A few games hang on my PS3 happened before (Dragon Age II, Assassin's Creed (both II & Brotherhood), normally around 1-2 times after about 50+ hours of play). Anyone who experience this, appreciate to share what you did. I have tons of saves and if I had to reformat the drive, would like to recover them first.Als Also, I've placed back my original 120 GB HDD and they ask to update to firmware 3.66 - Problem is, when I put in the USB drive (FAT32 format), it keeps saying could not find 3.66 firmware. Do any of you guys face this issue when updating via USB drive to 3.66? The 3.66 firmware on the site is the same size as 3.65 firmware but can't be coincidentally same right? Going to have PS3 withdrawal symptons soon This post has been edited by eetfukouijaaa: Sep 5 2011, 07:44 PM |

Many google searches reveal that PSN games downloaded before DON'T need reactivation or redownload... But over here it says deactivation needed, which is true?

When I upgraded my HDD a few months back, I didn't deactivate my games. Just had to re-activate when using the new HDD.

New ps3 slim from 160gb straight to 1tb. Nothing to back up. Just need a thumb drive with new driver. Very easy DIY jobs. Just out of curiosity, after download, back to menu will freeze a couple of seconds. Then only can proceed to other. Is this normal? Or 1tb take time to search?

Guys, was trying to upgrade my PS3 Slim HDD but the freakin screw feels like its bolted on tightly... thus i striped all four of the screw on the HDD bracket. Tried the "needle nose" and drill method but the screws are insanely tight on mine.
I'm now looking for a new HDD bracket to house my new 320 GB. Any ideas or where to get one locally (found 1 on ebay but i want to try local first). ![]() |
