My ps3 lets me login but freezes every time i try to load a game- offline play is unaffected though. What's going on?
Hello,
You can try the steps below. Its from PlayStation Forum:
1.
Turn off Playstation®3.
2. Hold the power button down; the system
will turn on and turn off once again.
3. Once the System has been
shutdown, re-press you finger until you hear 2 consecutive beeps
4.
When you hear the 2 beeps take finger off power button.
5. You will
be prompted to plug in your controller via USB and then hit the PS
button
6. The Recovery menu will pop up.
The current Recovery
Menu supports:
• Restart System: Restarts the PLAYSTATION®3 System.
•
Restore Default Settings: Reset all system settings back to default.
•
Restore File System: Checks for corrupt/missing system files.
•
Rebuild Database: Rebuilds the OS for the PLAYSTATION®3.
• Restore
PS3 System: Fresh restore; Deletes everything and starts from Scratch.
•
System Update: Update the PLAYSTATION®3 System
If the above
steps still does not solve the problem, then I think will have to update
your Ps3.
Update your PS3 (in the settings menu the 1st option).
Go
on the internet browser on the PS3 then go on the menu press triangle
then on one of them there are delete cookies and the delete the others
as
well as cookies.
You could also try this as well: put the
PS3 on then press the eject button (with no disc in) then hold it and
switch the PS3 off at the back with your finger on the eject button
still holding it, then put it back on and the fan test should be working
this may cool it down. It might be over heating.
But if your
problem is not still solved, then maybe you should call sony for further
assistance.
I wish you good luck
This is the 2nd most common problem
with PS3's. This isn't a bad problem. Your laser/lens will need to be
replaced. There are many videos on youtube if you would like to do it
yourself (I would advise you not to). I recommend that you find a
technician who has experience. There are many things that can go
wrong.
If you do, you must disassemble your
drive and take out the laser to see exactly which laser you will need
to purchase.
If you can play your games OFFLINE just fine, then you may have a hard drive problem. You will need to try the above and then repost with your new findings.
