Reset Video Output

If you are changing cables or cannot see an image on the screen, you may need to reset the video output to default settings. To reset the video output:

1. While the PS3 system is in standby mode (red light on the front of the system), hold down the touch-sensitive On/Off button on the front of the system until the PS3 beeps a second time (approximately 5 seconds), then release it.
2. The PS3 will power up, the Video Output Settings will automatically reset to the standard resolution (or detect the current display output settings of your TV/monitor).

Try THIS What you will need:

1. Bad PS3 hard drive
2. New hard drive of equal or larger size
3. SATA to USB cable or a spare USB enclosure
4. Copy of 'dd' for the OS of your choice
   • (Linux and OS X users should have it by default, Windows users can get it here)
5. Time, patience, and a desire to recover your data

The process:

1. Remove bad drive from the PS3
2. Connect bad drive to a computer that has enough free space as the size of your drive
3. Make a backup image using 'dd'
   • WARNING! You should be able to do this without having administrator/root/superuser rights. However, if for some reason you have to do this with admin/root/su rights, PLEASE, quadruple check what you type and make sure you have the correct paths. It is entirely possible to completely ruin a system install if you overwrite your computer's main hard drive and 'dd' will do this without blinking an eye if you tell it to.
   • The command I used was
   • dd bs=10M if=*path_to_your_ps3_hdd* of=*path_to_ps3_save*ps3_save.dd
   • Where *path_to_your_ps3_hdd* is the full path to the bad drive and *path_to_ps3_save* is the full path to where you want the backup image to be stored.
   • For example, I would've used
     • dd bs=10M if=/dev/sdb of=~/OMGPLZWORK/ps3_save.dd
   • As a Linux user "/dev/sdb" was the path to the bad drive when connected via the USB adapter and "~/OMGPLZWORK/" was the path to where I wanted to save the image.
   • Note that you DO NOT want to specify a partition number (/dev/sdb1) as you want to image the whole drive. There probably won't be a partition number, but just in case.
   • If you are a Windows user the command would look something like this
     • dd bs=10M if=\\.\e: of=c:\OMGPLZWORK\ps3_save.dd
   • Note that dd for windows requires "\\.\" before the drive letter.
   • Please read the "dd for windows" website if you are at all confused.
   • And for OS X users it would be something like this
     • dd bs=10M if=/dev/disk2 of=~/OMGPLZWORK/ps3_save.dd
   • As with Linux, you DO NOT want to specify a partition number (/dev/disk2s1) if there is one.
   • Note: '~' is a shortcut to your home directory.
   • Linux and OS X users (and I suppose Windows users too, if you wanted to install gzip, but I won't cover that) can use a variant of that command that will compress the image as it's created
     • dd bs=10M if=*path_to_your_ps3_hdd* ' gzip -9 > *path_to_ps3_save*ps3_save.gz
   • This will not compress the image much, as it will only compress free space on the drive, but it took my 320 gigabyte drive to around 260 gigabytes.
4. Connect new drive to the same computer
5. Restore image using 'dd'
   • The command to use is
   • dd bs=10M of=*path_to_your_ps3_hdd* if=*path_to_ps3_save*ps3_save.dd
   • or if you chose to compress the image
     • gunzip -c *path_to_ps3_save*ps3_save.gz ' dd bs=10M of=*path_to_your_ps3_hdd*
6. Install new drive into the PS3
7. Boot up the PS3 and let it attempt to restore

Note: If you have the available hardware, there's no reason you couldn't just 'dd' the data from the bad drive directly to the new drive.If you wanted to do that the command would be

• dd bs=10M if=*path_to_your_bad_ps3_hdd* of=*path_to_your_good_ps3_hdd*

For example

• dd bs=10M if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/sdc

If you choose to do this, you run the risk of writing the new drive over your bad drive if you have a typo (even if you're not running with admin/root/su rights!), so quadruple check the command and paths before executing. If all goes well your PS3 should be back up and running with little data loss. However there is NO guarantee that this will work for you. If you're like me, though, it's worth a shot and you never know, it just might work.

Hmm. May be because the disc is scratched? Not sure what it would be otherwise, if other games work just fine.

then it might be time for a new ps3

It could be overheating. You may want to ensure you are getting proper air flow and that the vents are not clogged with dust.

http://www.youtube.com/user/gilksy1 guide found herePS3 MoBo Reflow Guide This will only fix certain motherboard issues. This fix will solve YLOD issues cased by the system getting so hot the CPU / GPU or direct chipsets get shifted. This fix uses a heat gun to heat up the CPU / GPU and direct chipsets and allows them to fall back in place. I used a standard heat gun (dual, High, Low settings). Check the temp on it though. You want it around 700-750 degrees Fahrenheit. Some Additional Tips Not In The Guide:If you have worked on PCs this shouldn't be that hard. If you have worked on Notebooks, you shouldn't find the PS3 to be very difficult at all. Most notebook chassis are far more tedious then the PS3's.DOWNLOAD THE GILKSY GUIDE!!!! Read the guide a couple of times. Note the manner in which the PS3 is sitting in each photo.Have the guide open on your notebook or PC as you work. Otherwise print it out.Make sure you have enough time to take it apart and put it back together. It will take about an hour maybe an hour and a half. You don't want to take it apart then try to put it back together the next morning.Make sure you have a clean work area. With PLENTY OF LIGHT, I used my kitchen counter.Have places to sit parts out of the way.Have the right tools, you don't want to strip every screw.Get a ground strap in addition to the tools outlined.Have several containers to keep the screws in, one for each level of "disassembly" is what I used.Careful getting the first rubber foot off, I trashed mine.Keep track of where the coarse threaded vs. fine threaded screws come from. The coarse threaded screws generally screw directly into the plastic chassis.Clean the pieces as you disassemble the PS3, a vacuum with a hose attachment and canned air work great. Stubborn dust bunnies may require a paper towel dampened with alcohol.Keep the work area clean as you work. Be careful not to vacuum any screws. This will insure no dust (or pet hair) get into the new thermal CPU compound which could severely effect it's performance.When you get inside the system get a sniff of your power supply, if it smells burnt, this fix MAY not work.A few minor steps are missing from the guide, but they are fairly easy to figure out.Careful with the ribbon cables, each one has a clip to hold them on. Some release the opposite way of others.Righty tighty, lefty loosey!When assembling the PS3 make sure you have all the cables where they should be as you put it together. You don't want to have to take it back apart a bit to get a cable where it's supposed to be. Be sure ports meet the port-holes as they are supposed to. Over all everything should have a tight fit.When you put the screws back in you just need to secure everything, you aren't entering a strongman contest. Over torquing these screws may result in a funny looking PS3.

Try resetting your router and making sure the network is working, failing that contact the Sony Playstation Customer Service on 08705998877

You should just be able to put your disc in and navigate to GAME on the XMB crossbar then select the disc icon and press play.

The disk drive holder has probably been knocked out of place, contact Sony 08705998877 Sony Playstation Customer Service.Or take it to your local generic electronics repair store.

Send it to Sony this happened to a friend and they sent it away and came back good as mew

Hello,

If your system will not take a disc, then you most likely have a faulty disc loader. I would recommend contacting Sony for repairs.

Yes, you need a software to convert a video file to a video format that a PSP supports which is MPEG4/M4V you can check this link for a sample of PSP video converter http://www.pspvideo9.com/

Hope that helps...........

Yes it is possible for a PS 1 disc to be faulty and not work at all. I had that problem with one of my PS 1 disc's was not working so I had bought a second disc of the same game for my PS 1 console and it was working. Try buying a new game disc to see if it works or not if it works then then it was just a faulty disc if it doesn't work at all then your PS 1 console is having a problem with the laser and the lens and the disc drive that needs to be replaced. If it is working on a different system then it could be your PS 1 console. Try a new disc and see if it works first.
