- This video will show you how to use the Safe Mode menu on your PS3 system. Safe Mode options may help to restore functions to a PS3 that cannot start up properly. It is recommended that you back up files before using Safe Mode. For additional information, please visit the PlayStation Knowledge Center at www.us.playstat...

I am deaf. So all I'm doing is turning my system on and off repeatedly. No menu. Wish they thought to put visual cues into the lights such as fast beeps and slow beeps so those of us with bad hearing could know what to do.
At this point you may figured it out...anyway, if that's not the case try this:
- step 1: press the power button (PS3 turns on) and hold it until the console shuts down by itself; now you can release the button
- step 2: press the power button (PS3 turns on) again and hold it until the message "Connect the controller using a USB cable, and then press the PS button" appears on screen
@@OrcTheRed after that ..another thing missing.. how to move around with the options and select the right one for us if the controller doesn't obey because it's still charging.. ?thanks

I know this is 2 years old, but TH-cam has a closed caption button buddy, you should use That
Great video. My PS3 kept getting stuck at 98% after I formatted the drive, after running it on safe mode, it worked! Thank you so much! I was about to give up.
I was able to override the 4.88 update using safe mode!
I installed the 4.88 with the necessary firmware to get HEN working - I’m using the super slim
Apparently, this wasn’t supposed to work - but it did.
Thanks man
Please help me when I restore file system it freezes to :(((( idk what go do know of I should through mines off the balcony
HELP ME
Its the harddrive that got reck change it
@only1draco
Its the hdd
Great video very helpful. Just wish the PS3s were made better and not so cheap. Corrupt files happen all the time and the system freezing when trying to log in online is terrible and a fault that shouldnt happen.
I think hat even if we can't notice it, Sony has done a massive work in making our PS3 as reliable as possible, but I also think that it shouldn't be easy to guarantee a great stability in a system with continuous updates, new game data and so on...
Danny James lie my PS3 don't have safe mode what should I do need answers

I have used the option that rebuild database but it keeps saying that preparing please wait! Nothing happens it keeps saying that help pls thank u
@@SkilledDriver Bruh ps3 with no safe mode
Now it’s 2023 and we have PS5 that run amazing
A friend of mine downloaded and installed the lastest GT6 patch. After making it to the main menu of the game, he turned the system off without issue. When he turned it back on, the system froze before loading the XMB. So he went into safe mode, chose "Restore File System" and now it says: "Preparing...Please wait". It's been 24 hours and he's still seeing this screen.
what can i do if my ps3 doesnt go to recovery mod because the system update
Then you did it wrong
My PS3 stopped being able to read Blue Ray movies, and suggested to fix the file structure in safe mode, their instructions for safe mode wasn't clear, yours was perfect and the problem is now solved.
When I attempt to put my PS3 into Safe Mode the screen remains blank, I made sure I was doing everything correctly. Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this problem..?
I've had my ps3 for well over 2 years. still going strong. FAT version
my system keeps going back to system update
+1 Please Help!
Same here. Usefulness of safe mode greatly diminished!
Thats a really good video. Every Tutorial Video should be like that!
Thanks! Restore PS3 System worked like a charm! It only took seconds too!
My PS3 slim was freezing at random moments.
I had to do a ''File Restore System'' a few times, and an extra repair-scan when I started my PS3, everything is working fine
OMFG THANK YOU. PEOPLE WHO MADE TH-cam VIDEOS ON THE SYSTEM UPDATE MESSAGE NEVER MENTIONED TO PUT AN ADDITIONAL FOLDER SAYING PS3 ON IT. THANK YOU SONY
yo! I've done these steps (the first ones) and nothing appears on my tv screen!!
I'm using HDMI cables
please help me
Turn off ps3 and turn it back on
@@wilskibob1016 7 years too late.
@@epicexcalibur6445 lol😂
Ye me too
This is my problem:
My PS3 pops a message that says that the system is corrupted and I restore it (There's no cancel, I'm forced to press yes) then after 100% doesn't restart and the screen stays blank black. Help pls
@Ozan Ateş little late m8
Well my hardrive has been corrupted now for awhile
And for the past two weeks I've been trying to fix it in safe mode since it won't start up, Litterally every option I select does not work, it will just say "preparing" or its loading or deleting something, and it will stay like that for hours and not change at all, I'm about to just try and delete everything but that probably won't even work... Dammit sony...
I have that problem too, did you find any solution for that?

Just go on ebay. Get a New HDD or SDD any GB ya want. Swap it with your old one. Boom, done. Same with any PS3 buy a low GB and swap it out. Turn any PS3 into a TB for $80 on Ebay. Good luck boys
THANKS SO MUCH! MY OLD PS3 DOES WORK NOW, AND WE HAVE 3 PLAYSTATIONS NOW!! :) OMG IM SO HAPPY
Thank you I was getting so frustrated with this your video helped me figure it out
I know this video is old but I decided to give my PS4 a break and bring out the PS3 and had a black screen this video helped fix that for me thank you
I've lost movies from safe mode they were downloaded on how do I get them back
Choose step 3
ive tried this but the safe mode menu wont show up on my screen
This video is just what i was looking for!
Very helpful thanks a lot! 👍
In the safe mode i choose the third option and it always say: Preparin...
Please wait.
Can you guys help me please?
Buy a ps4
I've got the same problem here
Baris Akdogan same, anyone figure it out?
Worked for me
Baris Akdogan same thing happens to me and it pisses me of so bad
how do i exit the mode system update when the console doesn't allow me every time I turn it on it automatically pulls the installation it gets to 33% and then throws the error 8002F 165
So happy this works thank you Sony this like my 3 time doing this
I love the background music, where is it from? Excellent video btw! Thanks :) Gonna go try it now
I play nfs pro street and it lqgs in the loading screen
damn alright man. I'm in a situation right now from the last update they put out. I could be bricked too. Hopefully you can get a new one. And I dont think sony would do that to their customers, its just a very unlikely thing that happens to some ps3 owners from being online and them releasing patches that are glitchy.
Wonderful knowledge, thanks 👍
i have done some research and called sony costumer support only the only way to fix your ps3 if option 3 says preparing for long time is click option 5 which is to delete every thing from your ps3. hope this helps...
I have jailbreak so if i restore the file system, will i lose the jailbreak
This song was in Playstation Allstars Battle Royale. The second part of the Jak stage.
When i try to go onto safe mode it says no signal
this doesn't work on my fat pS3. Anytime I turn it on, it gives me the yellow light. When I flip the switch in the back and hold the power button, it goes to the yellow light, beeps 3 times, then blinks red. When I take my finger off and hold it again, the red light doesn't blink anymore it just stays there. If I push it again it starts up and gives the yellow light again and repeats. Changing the power outlet doesn't work either.
+bandgeek89 you have YLOD...
Your ps3 is broken, it is the YLOD..
Does option 5 remove both safe and corrupt data?
Yes
Mate, make sure you connect the Controller to the PS3 via the cable and then hit PS button. It will sync and work!
I cant go to the safe mode screen. It keeps going to sytem update screen that never finishes downloading.
same here
Sameeee!!!
Same here
take out the Hard drive 2. put the hard drive in an enclosure 3. connect to PC make a simple volume 4. format 5. put the hard drive back in the console and it will boot to the safe mode screen and will tell you to install the OS
Thank you so much you solved me a big problem 😊😘😍
MERCI AMPLEMENT, VOTRE VIDÉO ME SAUVE LA VIE... ❤❤❤🇬🇦
My friends list doesn't show up, option 4 seems the most appropriate although it isn't mentioned :/
Helped 👍 thank you so much!
I use 3 and 4 twice a month. My console runs great and when gta v gets slow I do this and it speeds up again.
My profile & trophies data was showing error. I did a File System Restore using this video. Problem solved. Thanks 👍🏻
If anyone has any slow or freezing game problems like in Battlefield 3, do 3 first then launch safe mode again, and do 4. PS3 works so much better after.
BEST HELPER VIDEO EVER I thank you so much for the help
I also have a question. What do you do when your PlayStation turns up and shows the cannot start screen. Do you do the rebuild database and will that help with restoring the ps3 itself.
Same issue what u did?
I am thinking about using steps 3 and 4 to try to remedy a problem of apparent lost space. As in, Hard Drive space seeming to have disappeared with no know reason, whether it be from downloads which did not occur or any other data related event. Irritating as can be because I have a CECHE01 80GB system with 74GBs total space, only have around 45GB taken up in game installs, and the rest of the data on my system would only add up to around 50GB worth of total used space...ugh...
My ps3 isn't allowing me to go into safe-mode. As I began to hold down the button for the first 3 seconds, the light flashes white, and then yellow. I'm assuming its fried. Not to mention it's a 1st generation console. Any advice on repairing this would be very helpful. Thanks
Everyone wishes this and that like with any game. That doesn't necessarily mean its going to happen.
Plus, there always DLC. The first DLC just released and its free. You can always voice what you want to see in future games or DLC on the Share Blog, or hound the developers/publishers of the characters you want to see in the game.... Whining on forums doesn't do much good.
Hi guys, I couldn't get safe mode going and had black screen with no signal from the tv all from changing the output cable after installing rogero 4.46. It's all good now. I had to heat the two heat sink plates at 400 deg for about 30 sec with a heat gun, enough to reset whatever needs resetting, reapply new paste and then it will let you into safe mode by following the methods you see online. I tried everything and repeated this process a few times to prove it was the only way. Hope it helps.
I'm a playstation fan, and i dont own a xbox. I told you the game PSABR is cheaply made, and its a fact. Just look at the ending credits, main menu, etc... I own a PS3, and i love it. I play GT5 everyday
When i turn on my ps3 it starts up normally for about 3 seconds then blinks red and green for another 3 seconds then shuts off, with no light on the power button. What option is best?
I ended up restoring the ps3... Im pretty uspset about it... I lost years worth or Elder Scrolls (4 and 5) days of little big planet, my infamous storyline... and so many others... not to mention movies and music... this is a sad day....
What do i do if i dont have a ps3 controller i have a different one and this one uses batteries
This vid is a godsend thanks for the info
thank you littlebigplanet 3
Hi, when I have a corrupted update on my ps3 hard disk it can't load the safe mode. What can I do for lunch the safe mode? Thanks in advance
Buy a ps5
Use an external hard drive to copy your save data over. One should do it once a year or so, I got YLOD and lost everything
Thanks, it really helped me!
Guys, this is a support video not a place for PSABR rants
Please tell me how to improve gaming performance in all your games

I tried to activate safe mode on mines, but it does not work.
This video helped in 2020, i wanted to play Absolution again on my 3, before i got it from PSN on 4, and had zero sound, ive been next gen so long i forgot how it worked, lol Thanks brother!!
put a pin or something thin inside your controller on the back. it´s right next to the screw. after that re-connect the controller
yes it works , i try doing this to my slim and it works just like the old one.
Without og joystick it is possible or not
(From future) I found my old ps3 slim and it had corrupted data so I did the steps and step 3 was very useful because I deleted games likeminecraft and Call of duty when I was a kid
I have a problem...when i start up my ps3 it just flickers from black to green to fuzzy then my tv just doesnt read it. I reset the video settings (holding power button down for 5 seconds) and it comes up with the available hdmi device available - if I press 'yes' to use it the same thing happens as on normal start up and if i press 'no' i hear the normal start up sound but the screen is just black.
Also when I hold down the power button it turns on, then another bleep for resetting the video settings then another for the resart thing however it doesn't turn off, instead it stays on for a few seconds then completely shuts down as if you have just pulled the power out the back of it.
Help...this shit sketch!
If you mean PS3 you have to go to the person's profile, hit triangle and select report from the options listed, don't know how to do it on Xbox though
Can't access safe mode help Sony I don't know why held onto the power button and no second beep
if your friends are not showing up keep on you're own account for 30min to an hour and u should get all your friends listed again. hope I helped :)

1.

2.

I want to ask Do you know if you reset the ps3 to factory settings using quick format or full format?
I have every SSMB game.... Yes, there are similarities with the game, but that doesn't make it "cheap". Obviously it worked, the game is a success.
Good thing opinions are not facts.
Would restoring the file system or rebuilding the database help to stop my console being slow and freezing?
yeah sure but how much it will take?
like an hour or less than that?
Samsung LED 32 inches TV connected via HDMI cable (1.4) to PS3.
I already performed default setting on PS3 by connecting it to SD TV. Still remains the same issue on LED TV.
i've had the same problem, you just have to keep trying and make sure you keep your finger on the power button
Does restore default settings will erase all of my trophies and my games?
No, only "restore ps3 system" erases saved games and installed games. trophy data is saved on ps servers and is never deleted even with restore ps3 system.
Daniel Jordan quick question bro. I'm in process of doin this but where I'm stumped is..
The screen that says.. "connect Controller to the usb cable and press the PS button" screen. I've used 3 different cables that I had but the remote wouldn't respond. I'm tryin to see what I can do but so far no luck :( . Any advice? It would be appreciated
nice job man , very helpfull
I chose "Restore file system" it says Preparing... Please wait. Is it depost to take hours? Please help me
Not totally sure which my boyfriend did, but what do I do if it's said "Preparing Please Wait" for the last three hours?
+Altysay I am concerned about your problem too,Its been over an hour now and nothing has change for me. Uploader if you are reading please answer to our dilemma shall we keep on waiting for the system to finish after ""Preparing... Please wait" has been on the screen for almost a day. In the top right corner a sort of disc is turning so no the console system didn't freeze.
I ended up having to just do it again until it worked and fully resetting/formatting everything.
What your controller isn't a ps3 controller but is compatible (ps4 controller)
won't work I just tried.
So I held down the power button and heard two beeps but the system shut off after the second beep.
Need your help ,trying to connect my ps 3 to my tv but screen stays by tried different cable but still the same .
My ps3 shut down abruptly when playing certain games?? So which option should i use ?
