So the problem I'm having is it wont read discs at all. I bought a game off of the psn store and downloaded it, and now it won't load it, but I can still play minecraft, which I've also downloaded off of psn,I don't know whats wrong.
My cousin's son's PS3 won't boot up correctly at all with a corrupted HDD. Once I tried to put in my HDD and it said it had to be formatted. Eventually I upgraded my PS4 to 2TB and put the 500GB in my PS3 so I have a 160GB that I now put in the corrupted system. The original HDD from that system, the PS3 won't even recognize it, but it recognizes my old PS3 160GB HDD. I'm wondering if there's anyway I can fix the HDD. Maybe sell it or keep it as backup.
Didn't work for me. My whole system lags like game dialogue takes forever to catch up on some games skipping background music even on my digital downloaded games and EVERYTHING takes FOREVER to load. Idk what to do other than buy a new system now. Any thoughts??
My controller won't recognize what should i do this already happen to me once a long time ago but it did work then it happen to me again this time the controller won't recognize
Hey bro. I broke my ps3 by accidentally tripping over a weight and smacking it while resetting it. I restarted out of fear and it gave a LOUD GRINDING WHIRRING sound which sounded like a fan but could be an HDD for all I know. I shut off the fuse because I couldnt reset it and for some reason.. the grinding sound dissapeared and it said the system file were corrupt but rebuilding database gets it stuck at 20% and restore file system gets it stuck on "Preparing.. please wait" prompt. Will be trying this and hope it works.
Hey, my ps3 is fine until I go try to play a game. The screen is just black. I did this and people told me to do the system file restore. But that didn't work.. Will this work for the black screen when I enter the game? I know that it will delete my data and that's fine
omg it worked thank you soo much i been lookin for answers...if i would have told my dad he would've got mad at me and think i broked it..thank you..now everythings fine
mine was corrupt but Everytime I turned it on it would show the same thing over and over and I didn't know what to do so I ended up breaking in accident
How come It says my system is corrupted then I its says restore I restore it then It goes to a black screen for five minutes comes back then comes back with same stuff someone please help me
Nope, you need a hard drive to run the Playstation 3 Operating system, to save games, and to install games because it is stupid. Blue Ray olds 32gb yet you still have to install games which is fucking bullshit.
Mine keeps on saying "the file system on the system storage is corrupted and will be restored" so i press okay and once it done it takes me bak to where it say that same shit again Dx help me
bro my ps3 telling that my ps3 corrupted but it was not completed when it tell it was completed than my ps3 restart and it was telling that my system was corruted tell what should i have to do
so the issues I'm having are, 1)PS3 keeps losing connection to EA and PSnetwork even though it's hardwired and I have no connection issues like that my other devices. 2) I'll be playing BF4, I'll switch to a different character(sniper to medic for example) and if deeply with no weapons, then ps3 freezes up if I try to power down. 3) other non internet games, it'll freeze between stages.
I really do hope this works. I’ve dumped $60 into this console to play one game again. I couldn’t do this because my original controller does not work (aside from the analog stick). Just bought a new controller. I’ll be bummed if I wasted $60 lol
What also sucks is that the PS3 isn't capable of dealing with larger HDD above 500GB even if you can install one. I have a 1TB HDD and every time I have a lot of games on it the HDD ends up having a corrupted file somewhere and cannot be restored. Then I'm doing this reset process all over again for the 100th time.
Dude same. My it wont turn off but it will turn on. Black screen. No safe mode. Controller wont connect via usb either Edit: Found solution. Bad news is that its kinda hard to do
Brigitte O'Driscoll first u have to remove the ps3's hard drive. (Easy if the screw isnt tight), second you have to plug that hard drive into a computer. (For me to do this, I had to open up my computer and plug in the two wires that correspond to the hard drives plugs. That is the hardest step) Last step is to restore the hard drive by bootting up your pc and opening an app that will do it for you. On windows theres already an app preinstalled to do it for you I forgot what its called. Last step is to put the hard drive back into the ps3 and the ps3 will tell you how to restore it back to normal. Or if you're someone with some spare cash just buy a new ps3 harddrive and replace the one corrupted one lol.
Hey Man! Today is June 10,2018 I just tried this on my PS3 Slim after years of loop error. Damn man you fixed my baby homie much love to you
What happens when I've tried all the safe mode options and the f'in PS3 still won't work. Just stays stuck on the preparing please wait screen
What if you buy a whole new hard drive? Will it still say error?

Mine keeps going back to the recovery mode. Looked it up and saying it's better off to buy another hard drive.
can you still play games on it though? the hard drive is just for online play?
Nope, you need a hard drive to run the Playstation 3 Operating system, to save games, and to install games because it is stupid. Blue Ray olds 32gb yet you still have to install games which is fucking bullshit.
I have a problem ummm, My PS3 wont turn on at all! Its red and when you try and Hard Reset it the red turns into like its not connected to power.
"Red ring of death"

When I do it my ps3 says need to restore then when its at 17% it takes 30 minutes to get past

Thank you Bro! Seriously a life saver,
how many time does it take?
How did you stub your thumb that badly

Thanks bro for helping me. I greatly appreciate it.
do you know how to get the PS3 out of safe mode?
1st Option
same problem as nell but it freezes right away on #1 if u know what to do say it here & spread it to everyone else so we all can play online!?
thanks this helped me out tremendously
OMFG THANKS BRO! SUBED AND LIKED!
this really helped. thank you so much
my controller won't turn on
U mad that video 11 years ago so cool
it depends on how many things you had on your PS3. Like around an hour
I can't receive messages for some reason can anyone help?
pay attention its states for corrupted ps3!!!! thanks bro for the bypass
I have an afterglow controller wtf do I do
You need the Sony branded controller unfortunately so try borrowing one from someone.
Me too!!!
me too
+Bleach were all fucked
Jex isn't there a way to hard reset it with out a wired controller
Mine is just reaching the first beep :(
It didn't work on myien
Why wont my ps3 go into safe mode? pleaseeeeeeeeeee help!
My controller is wired though
so the issues I'm having are, 1)PS3 keeps losing connection to EA and PSnetwork even though it's hardwired and I have no connection issues like that my other devices. 2) I'll be playing BF4, I'll switch to a different character(sniper to medic for example) and if deeply with no weapons, then ps3 freezes up if I try to power down. 3) other non internet games, it'll freeze between stages.
so is that a hard drive issue or a disc drive issue?
I have the exact same issues with my PS3. Have you found a solution?
+Frank Turner only solution I'm going for is buying a new blue ray drive on Amazon.....just waiting until the bills are paid to get one
you get all the 6 options on what you can do but even than my ps3 says it was un able to do any of them, should i just bring it into sony? hahahha
I really do hope this works. I’ve dumped $60 into this console to play one game again. I couldn’t do this because my original controller does not work (aside from the analog stick). Just bought a new controller. I’ll be bummed if I wasted $60 lol
didn't work for me
Mines just go black
