Logged on wirelessly for thefirst time. connected successfully and PS3 froze. Had to restart but now it wont go past the main screen. unable to get to menu. Is there a way to reset it or something. We didnt have this problem when we connected to the internet via ethernet cord.

There are two ways to connect to the internet there is Wireless or Wired connection here is how to do both:WIRELESS (WIFI):
Step 1: Turn on the PS3
Step 2: Once on main menu go to settings and under settings select "Network Settings"
Step 3: Select "Internet Connection settings" if prompted that you will be disconnected from the internet select "Yes".
Step4: Select "Easy" on types of installation.
Step 5: Select "Wireless" to choose what kind of Internet connection you want.
Step 6: Select "Scan" to search for internet access points.
Step 7: Select your home connection when the screen comes up with all the found access points. If your home internet access point requires a password enter the password when prompted and save your settings.
Step 8: Test the connection to check if you configured your settings right if successful you are good to go. If not go back and check your connection settings for your home internet access point. You are now connected to the internet!

1. Make sure your wireless router is turned on and set up correctly.

2. Turn on ps3 and go to 'network settings' under 'settings' in the main menu.

3. Select 'Internet connection settings' and select yes if a new screen pops up saying you'll be disconnected from internet.

4. Select 'Easy' on the next screen, where it asks what type of installation you want.

5. Select 'Wireless'.

6. Select 'Scan', and the system will search for available connections in the area.

7. Pick your connection, and select you security settings and enter your passphrase/key, then save your settings.

8. Select the 'Test Connection' option. If you've been successful then your connection information should be displayed. If it didn't work then repeat steps to correct any mistakes you've made.

If you can't see your connection in the list then check your router is on etc and that the ps3 isn't too far away.

Hope this helped.

If your PS3 is freezing up then this happens in much the same way as the 3 red lights on the Xbox 360.

The GPU and the CPU heat up and you need to stop the heat to fix it.

You can send it in and pay $130 to get it fixed or you can use the recommended PS3 Repair guide that will have it fixed for you in under an hour!

restart the system and buy a can of air and blow out alll the openings u see

broken mother chip

you probably over used or you might have had to much things going at once .so you may have blown a circuit.

Well try resetting the outlet that the PS3 is plugged into, unplugging everything from the PS3, and plug everything back in, it should work. If not, call Sony Customer Support and they will Fix your PS3 For you. Hope this helped.

Wired connection or wireless? If you are using wireless, try switching to wired temporarily and see if the PS3 stays connected.
