My PS3 is down like 4 flat tires...HELP!!

Post by shel311 »

So, I attempted a simple moving of the PS3 from one room to another. All hell broke loose as a result.



So, when I boot up the PS3, the 1st sound occurs with the PS3 logo, then i get an error message with a black screen that says:

"Cannot start. Correct hard disc cannot be found."



So, I go to youtube and find this video. I do what he does and hold the buttons and get the beeps like he gets, but where he gets the screen that says to plug the controller into the USB port, I get the same error message i got above.

Help a brotha out.

Open the hard drive bay by taking out the 2 screws and take out the hard drive and re-seat it.
Try this to make sure the hard drive is seated and being recognized.

Shel, I had that come up a month or so ago. I had to choose option 6 (full restore). I hope you've backed your stuff up...

I don't know what stuff I'd even need to back up,b ut I know I didn't back it up LOL.





Niddler, I did a little more googling, and that looked like the problem. I didn't think I was rough with the PS3 on the move, but I guessed the HDD moved around a bit. I just took it out, put it back in, restored my files, and I'm back up and operational.

Whew, another close call with those old fattie PS3.

We'll see how that goes.
