recently ran into the the dreaded 80010514 error shortly after
installing a new game they had purchased off the PlayStation Store and
decided to document it. Here is what the have to say…
Since this error occurred, we obviously contacted Sony
Support. We were informed that the code is not common, and a simple
reset of the system, and restoral of factory settings should do the
trick. Unfortunately, after the restoral, the error still occurred.
The error code is actually one of two things, a) a
faulty sector on the internal hard drive, or b) a faulty installation
of software/firmware, both iterations actually coincide with eachother.
If the hard drive suffers a faulty sector ( a section of damaged space
on the drive that data may have been written to that no longer is
readable), an installation may still be processed, and even work, but
the error can cause some serious side effects, such as option b. If
your PS3 has installed an item incorrectly, including firmware, it is
in high risk of receiving this error.
Basically, what is occuring is the corruption of game disc
recognition and execution. If you will notice, in 90% of all cases, the
drive will still play DVD and even Blu Ray movies with no problems.
When trying to start a game however, the title, sooner or later, will
receive the error.
1) Ensure that your internet connection is stable.
If you are using a wireless connection, make sure your signal is at
least a solid 80%. If not, make the proper adjustments until it is.
2) Dust your machine regularly. Any PS3 owner will
tell you that the Playstation 3 is a dust magnet. Just run a dry cloth
over it every couple days, and you should be fine. This will help
prevent heat issues and shorts that may occur.
3) When installing firmware and/or software, make
sure you follow the instructions. Even if you have installed 6 versions
prior, each one is different, and may require additional steps. Save
yourself the headache and just follow them, it only takes a minute or
so longer to do it right.
Lets sum it all up, the error is not hardware related and is caused
due to corruption of firmware. Restoring you PS3 will not roll back the
firmware, and unfortunately will not fix the issue 9 times out of 10.
If you are receiving this error, contact Sony for a replacement unit. Again I hope none of my readers have to see the dreaded 80010514 error and by following
Gamerevolver.com’s simple steps your bound to prolongue the life of your PS3 indefinitely.
(Update) Eurogamer.net
contacted a SCE UK spokesperson which told them “”I’ve spoken to our
Customer Services department and they aren’t aware of this issue with
the PS3.” So take that as you will? Is the dreaded 80010514 just a
myth? or an error that Sony is not aware of?
(Update 2) Try this before replacing Blu Ray drive (Last Resort)
Undertakerza
updated a game, Warhawk and his system froze, got it rebooted it could
no longer access any discs (cd, dvd, blu ray, games) he was ejecting
and re inserting disks when I realized that the drive wasn’t making any
noise and also … not spinning disks anymore they come out the exact
same way he put them in.
Here is how he did it:
Ok so I’ve fixed my issue. I will run through what you
will need to do to fix yours if you are having issues with the blu-ray
drive and general PS3 system operations like the XMediaBar this is
totally worth a shot … I doubt this will fix any other issue. If not
then your blu-ray drive/ PS3 is probably dead and needs replacement via
the method listed above or by sony.
If you can, I suggest you back up your PS3 first. The menu that you
will access to can fully erase your PS3 if you choose the wrong option!
I do not take any responsibility! Please proceed at your own risk! If
you read and follow the instructions exactly you should not loose any
data! Feel free to ask questions if you are confused so you don’t make
a mistake!! Sorry, I had to say it, I don’t want anyone mad at me if
they make a mistake, don’t back up their data and erase it, and then
blame me…
The current version of the ps3 firmware has a “recovery console”.
You access it by
1. Start with having the system in standby (redlight is on)
2. Hold the power button down; the system will turn on and turn off once again.
3. Press and hold the power button again and keep holding, it will
beep as it turns on and then it will double beep. When you hear the
double beeps immediately take your finger off the power button (if your
system turns off before you get a double beep just try again and hold
the button, it should double beep the 2nd time you try)
4. You will be prompted to plug in your controller via USB and then hit the PS button
You will now have a screen with these options (I have attached a picture of this screen below)
1. Restart System: Restarts the PLAYSTATION®3 System.
2. Restore Default Settings: Reset all system settings back to default.
CHOOSE THIS ONE 3.Restore File System: Checks for corrupt/missing system files.
4. Rebuild Database: Rebuilds the OS for the PLAYSTATION®3.
5. Restore PS3 System: Fresh restore; Deletes everything and starts from Scratch.
6. System Update: Update the PLAYSTATION®3 System
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU DO NOT CHOOSE THE WRONG OPTION HERE OR YOU WILL LOSE ALL YOUR DATA. The one that fixed my blu-ray drive is option 3:
RESTORE FILE SYSTEM
I REPEAT CHOOSE RESTORE FILE SYSTEM
After this, it is going to restart and bring up a screen reading
something like “you have Corrupted System Data. Your PS will now
replace this data” Then you choose continue and that should be it.
This option reinstalls the system files and drivers inside the PS3
with the original ones that are stored on your hard drive. In this
case, it replaced a corrupted driver for the blu ray drive thus fixing
my issue and hopefully yours!! This option will only replace all system
files thus saving you from loosing any data that’s stored on your hard
drive. Again this option does nothing to your hard drive it reads a
file from the drive and rewrites it to the PS3 system.
If you want a more technical understanding of what this is really doing continue reading.
DO NOT NEED TO READ THIS TO COMPLETE REPAIR.
The PS3 does not boot from your hard drive as a computer does. It has a
flash memory like a cell phone that stores all system files and system
firmware updates that you get when the PS3 updates. This is why
reformatting your hard drive will not fix your problem, none of the
system files are stored on your hard drive (ex. XMB, system firmware,
etc.) nor do they run from the drive.
However, your hard drive does contain a full backup of your SYSTEM files and thus when you choose option 3:
RESTORE FILE SYSTEM
it rewrites the original system files from your drive (which aren’t
corrupted) back to the flash memory which is corrupted thus fixing the
problem
UPDATE: With the new firmware 3.10 you may be able to report the error code directly to Sony via your PS3 console.
Have a look here, please note that this has not been tested for this error code yet.
FAN FOR LIFE! waiting on PS4
