My PS3 have error code 8002f334

I've seen this error code going around for the older PS3's. From what I can gather, it's a HDD issue that can't be cured easily. Here are the steps to take that I found, that seem to work for all PS3 systems.
  • take out the hard drive
  • connect hard drive to pc (running windows 7 64bit, but any windows os should work without other software)
  • open up disk management - in win7 it asked me to make a master boot record, so I did.
  • format in NTSF - that's right, NTSF - don't use quick format
  • shut down pc, take out hd, take usb drive too
  • put hd back in ps3, put usb stick in ps3
  • boot ps3
  • a screen will pop-up saying the hard disk have to be formatted
  • hold start + Select for 5 sec.
  • After formatting the system will restart and the update will start installing
  • configure your ps3 setup - done
  • Remember to get the latest firmware from SONY onto the USB drive.

Why playstation 3 turn on and after few seconds.. turn off!!?

Turn off PS3 only by controller. The green LED on the console will turn Red. If you want to power off totally, use the physical switch at the rear of the console.

It stopped connecting to wireless!

Myra, The PS3 internal antenna when connected to the board, is only a thin protected wire, so it is not the greatest system for range for wifi. However, it would seem the issue you are having is not connecting to the wireless router, but the router to the internet. The PS3 asks after you enter a new connection, if you want to test it. I always do this test and it is valuable. At the top of the test screen, you will see "connection to router"-Pass/fail, then connecting to internet-Pass/fail, then connecting to PSN-pass/fail. Do you have other devices connected to the router you are using? If yes, then you have a more serious problem. If no, then you just have to access the router via PC and set up the correct settings to allow your PS3 to connect to the internet. There are several different routers out there, so you will have to consult the manufacturer to set it up. Just a few key notes here. If you are ok with anyone accessing your internet, simply don't password protect it. And also, make sure that the router is transmitting by making sure it is in"air"mode. If it's not airing the SSID, then no device will pick it up. ^^ I hope this helps, and good luck. 26100868-eqmxbewrnrhyoe30gtsbetu5-2-0.jpg

My PS3 can't find the IP address for my wireless router and I don't know how to enter it

possible cause is that ps3 uses an ip address leased from the wi fi router via its DHCP Server in Router. If PS3 was off for a while another computer on Wi FI network may have been assigned the IP address that the PS3 thinks it has. Try page 29 of http://au.playstation.com/media/2Pv7AFEC/CECH-2102B_2103B-3.20_UKANZ[EN]_vf1.pdf on page 31 change the ip address setting to manual set ip to 192.168.0.254 subnet mask 255.255.255.0 Now exit setup Then go back into Setup Change IP address setting to Auto Why This will renew the ip address from the DHCP server to the ps3 hopefully allocating you a fresh IP address lease .

Ps3 turns on but no signal on tv

Hi There, Is the TV set for the correct input? I assume you are using HDMI? If all settings and input selections are correct then I will have to say that either the HDMI cable is faulty, or the HDMI port on either the TV or PS3 could be faulty. Check if PS3 can work on another TV with the HDMI cable. Check if another Device can work on that TV with the HDMI cable. Try another HDMI cable. From this, you should be able to determine where the issue is sitting. Hope this helps!

I have moved my ps4 hard drive from one ps4 to another . do i need to install the small approx 300mb update file or the full 800mb update file

Hi Gary, the question here, is witch one of the 2 files are the most recent. If you install the most current update file, then after you connect the system to your internet source you can do a full update if it's required. If they are released the same date, than I would go with the bigger of the 2 files just because there is probably information there that the smaller file may not contain.

My ps3 controller isn't charging what should I do ?

First, you need to troubleshoot if it's your system, wire, or controller. Testing the controller: Try plugging the wire into another port on the PS3, or into something else to charge it. Try charging it on a friend's system, with his wire, to see if it's your system. If it doesn't work, your controller or battery is bad. Testing the battery: Put your battery into another controller, see if it will charge on your friend's PS3 to test it. DO NOT put another battery in your controller: If the controller is shorted, it could ruin your battery! Testing the Console: If your controller charges on your friend's PS3 with his wire, try to use their wire on your system. If that works, it's probably your wire. If not, try other ports as I said. If none of the ports charge it (but it charges on your friend's, there's a problem with the voltage or amperage. _______ If it's your system: It may symbolize a short life left of your PS3, not not for sure. I would still avoid plugging anything into USB you don't want to risk getting destroyed. You can still charge your controller with certain wall chargers, but only certain ones have the circuitry for a "handshake" the PS3 needs to charge. If it's your wire: Get one from the dollar store should work. If it's your battery: Getting one one eBay may be cheaper than replacing your controller. If it's your controller: I prefer wired controllers personally, anyhow... for everything but the Wii, of course. You're going to need a new one for the PS3. You may want to save your battery for a later time or need.

I turn power switch on, fan runs really fast for a minute, 4 quick beeps, then shuts down, no lights or anything

Do you have a disk stuck inside? Many issues have simple fixes. For some reason, when the Blueray drive fails to read a disk, it sees it as a fault and shuts the system down. If you don't have a disk in, try putting one in and see if that turns your system on. Also, the PS3 system auto recognizes the audio/video connection. If you don't have it connected to your video source,(TV, Projector, etc.) It won't turn on properly. Just some things to think about, and I hope this helps. Good luck. ^^

I cant log in on psn

Farisabdallah, I'm assuming you do not have a current PlayStation Network (PSN) account. There are a few things you will need before you can sign up for a psn account. First, make sure you have a valid email account. It doesn't matter who with; (Google, yahoo, msn, etc.) then you can start a new account right from the PS3 system, but it sounds like you want to start a new account from psn directly, so I will give you a link for that site. There will be a tab that will ask for you to log in, or sign up. You will still need a valid email address to complete this process. After you have successfully signed up, then simply put that information into your PS3 system and you should be all set. ^^ Keep in mind also, that the PSN is regional, and the link I give you is for U.S. only and you may need to find the correct one for your region. Good luck, and I hope this helps. My Account
