A serious error has occured in ps3 - Sony Playstation 3 (PS3) Console

The "Red Screen of Death" usually happens in later PS3 Fat models right after you have turned on the PS3. It can happen right after the PS3 logo and wave animation appears. It is a mysterious error that seem to be software related during the checking process (perhaps some corruption in nand flash or harddrive block). When the error occurs, the screen turns red, and you see a message:

A serious error has occurred. Contact technical support for assistance.

Well, of course you should first try unplugging, replugging, turning it off on the backside button, turning it back off, holding the on/off button 3-4 seconds while it is on, and so on.

If neither of all these things work, there might be corrupted data or you might need a firmware update (hate those on mp3's, then how is it on ps3's? >.<).

But for those, you would need to contact customer support, as it says on your red screen message.

If you cannot find the customer support on your region (which I highly doubt), just go for the customer support of Sony: http://esupport.sony.com/


Hope this helped

Call sony, 1-800-345-7669

The programming in the console has somehow corrupted. Try resetting the console to factory defaults. If that doesn't work have a chat with Sony Support.

playstation 3 has a error code of txt_ps3tropy_error.. what is this and how do we fix it???????????????

This is called the "PS3 Red Screen Of Death" it's the same as the 360's RROD. The best solution would be to contact Sony about it and they should resolve the issue.

Contact Sony but it sounds like you have screwed up your OS. Did you turn it off during an update?

It is some error on your PS3.

You shall return it to Game Stop and buy a new system.Do not buy a PS3 anymore if you are alerted.

ya if you can return it then do that, better to get a known good one then to try and fix yourself

check security settings? may need to reset.
