@@fenkingamer09 same problem i hope that ps5 has full backwards compatibility but still need to get my data back wish these people in the video had a phone number
My son unplugged the external hard drive while I was restoring the old hard drives info onto the new one. I tried going into safe mode and restore it to factory but it says my files are corrupted. But I just downloaded them from the ps website last night and they worked just fine.
So what would you have done next if the hard drive was good and the unit is broken? I am at this problem. I get no video out on mine, USB ports all read 0 volts. For a second it did light up a controller but then it went away. I tested it with a multimeter and I'm reading 0.0v. System YLOD, chips were all reballed, yellow light gone but not getting power for controller and no video. Tried video reset mode and nothing. If I stick the drive in another system it will format it so if he had to replace his system, what would be the next step to recovering the save game data. Because the games are not an issue they can be re downloaded but the saves..... well.. lol Any help would be AWESOME !!! and gain you a subscriber and follower.
I know this is 6 years old.... but i have this same problem. I jailbroke my first slim ps3 and I had a modified firmware that had some developer tools and my region code for the unit accidentally got switched to Japanese and I didn’t have a full developer DEX firmware installed and it restarted into ylod and rlod and now it is a brick. So i need to decrypt the hdd but can’t find a video with these scenarios as they are always working unit bad hdd. Not, bad unit, working hdd
Thanks for this very informative and easy to follow video. My predicament: I wanted to upgrade my storage. I connected me PS3 drive to my PC and accidentally clicked on MBR/GUID partition. I'm not sure which one. I have make an image file of the disk like you said in this video, as backup at least. How do I change the partition back to FAT so my PS3 can see it again? Can I 'burn' this image to a HDD to use in the PS3 or will it have the same partition problem? Can I at least get my save game files? I can download and install the games again and forget about my apps and media.
when ever I turn on my PS3 nothing shows up on the screen and the PS3 acts like its frozen ( when I try to turn it off I have to hold the power button ) and when I try to go into the recovery menu it wont load.
I had the same problem, try getting the recovery mode again, and well, it eventually works ( to get recovery mode, hold the power button till you hear 3 beeps and your ps3 turns off... wait half a second... hold the power button again till you hear 1 beep and 2 consecutive beeps... hopefully you'll get a screen saying that you need to connect your controller with usb and press ps button )
My PS3 suddenly stopped working, it won't boot up or start. When I open it or plug it on, the first message is this, " Connect the controller using a USB cable, and then press the PS button." So then after I pressed the PS button, this is the next message, " The system software cannot be run correctly. Press the PS button to try to restart the system. If the system cannot be restarted, the system partition of the system storage must be reformatted and you shall reinstall the system software. Connect the storage media that contains update data of version 4.82 or later, and then press the START and Select buttons at the same time. For information on how to obtain update, refer to the SIE Web site for your region." With above message on screen, I cannot turn off the PS unit at the power button. Can you help me with this and tell me what I can do to save this unit. Thank you for your kindness. Dads Cornejo
try this: you'll need a pendrive for that, go to the playstation website of YOUR COUNTRY be sure to go for your country, go to help and support. type update and choose ps3. click on download using pc and follow all the methods listed. the update file is between 200-300mb. on your pendrive create a folder named "PS3" and in that create another folder named "UPDATE" and in that, paste the ipdate file. after doing this, press start and select. this might do it I also had this problem, though i solved it but my slim ps3 turns off by itself, there is no dust problem, any solutions?
How do i get my data from my ps3 hard drive. I tried connecting to windows using a sata to usb reader but no joy. Please help me find a solution as it has all my wedding photos locked onto this hard drive
You need a USB 3.0 sata external hard drive. It needs to be formatted to fat 32. Plug it into the USB port. Go to system settings then choose data back up. Back up to the USB drive. If it's formatted correctly it will read it. There are RUclips videos to do all of this. I just watched them over the last few days.
Pls Help, i have this problem with my ps3 slim, that when i open my ps3, then after like 1 min it has this weird static lines and glitchy thing in the screen, i tried going to safe mode, tried all the options and didn't work, i watched youtube videos, to choose the 3rd one to restore the file system which basically tell me if i have a corrupt hard drive, i did have a corrupt hard drive but when it started to fix it, the weird static glitchy lines came back and i tried everything to fix it..., pls help me whats the problem
My ps3 says that it's corrupt what do I do next? I opened it up, and voided the warranty. At the point of no return what do I do to save it? Can I save it or do I bury it and leave it once and for all?
Hey guys. I have 2 Playstations, A "Fat Boy" and a later model with the sliding top. I'm have a problem with my Fat Boy. Can you switch out hard drives to see if it's still is working?
Hey can you help me whenever I load up my games it flashes no signal then shows a black screen and doesn't load.My PS3 had a 3 foot fall from my desk.And i am using a standard 3 prong for the ps3 because my HDMI blew
firstly why would you even put a PS3 on a fireplace mantle this could have been avoided by putting the PS3 on a lower area like a tv stand of course kids are kids and they will make mistakes for anyone reading this that has kids and has there ps3 on a mantle piece for the love of god move it so you don't have to buy a new PS3 from a high fall But nice video on how to fix this issue i had no idea you could use linux ill be sure to try it in the future when ever my hdd kicks the bucket sorry if my comment came across as rude just making my opinion
How you fix 80010038 error for ps3. This happens when I paid 60 dollars!!!! For a PS store game and stopped at 13% when installing the game. 80010038 can you help with this?
At first my Ps3 saying that my PS3 is having a problem with HDD,After thay is fixed... Ps3 says the controller say its not connected(even tho its connected)...push the button in the middle of Ps3 controller...after the loading the ps3 say again that my ps3 doesnt connect to any controller and its becoming a loop over there... Anyone can help me?
Is there anyway I could send my PS3 over to you guys? I have the same "Cannot Start" message on my screen. This PS3 has meant a lot to my older brother and I and I can't just hard reset and lose all of my data just to get it up and running again. You guys have to save my PS3!
Psn storage or a flash drive or another external storage device. If you have the same model PlayStation you can just put the hard drive in the other PlayStation. Currently im having a issue of my own. My old ps4 kept turning on then turing off a while ago like 4 to 6 years ago. My ma gave me hers so no bigge. Now on ps4 everyone's playing bordalnds 2 and i want my character from my old PlayStation ;(, but I never cloud saved em.
LinuxTechShow, Of course, but I get it everyday. I only need to blow the dust out of it. If I try a new game it goes black. Then this problem comes up...
I had same problem! I updated my ps4 after downloading a game and it burned out the fan...so I plugged up my ps3 and updated it and now it wont even boot! Thanks Sony for making several generations of crap!
If my ps3 is completely trashed, no power buttons, eject buttons, ribbon cable, however, I replaced the psu. But I just want the data from the hard drive, what are my options, considering sony's hard drive encription. I don't care about the system itself, I just need game data for oone specific game, maybe two.
Hmm, I'm not aware of encryption on those drives. You should be able to plug that drive into any Linux computer and read it as normal / copy your files off / etc. It has to be Linux though since Sony uses Linux formatting for the drive (well, Unix to be more accurate). Download a copy of Ubuntu Desktop, boot it up in "Try Ubuntu" mode (no need to install it) and then plug in the drive. It should detect it as normal. If you're stuck or want to share more info with us, perhaps post it in our community forum and we'll do a demonstration on the show. forum.category5.tv/forum-39.html

I'm pretty sure you can't conventionally copy an image of a drive to another drive, ps3 would ask to reformat it upon plugging it in.

If you were disconnected from WiFi than you can go on a different account and turn off WiFi and then it will work
