You
could attempt to boot up the PS3 in safe mode and restore the file
system (should delete any corrupted data). Describing how to start up
your PS3 in safe mode would just be confusing, so instead here's a link to the official page on the PS3 Safe Mode feature.
Follow
the instructions, and then I'd say try options 3 (Restore File System).
If that doesn't work, try 4 or 5 (Rebuild Database or Restore PS3
System).
If that fails, you could just replace the hard
drive. The PS3 uses standard 2.5inch SATA laptop/notebook hard drives
(5400 or 7200 RPM). They can be found online at any computer parts
website; for example, Tigerdirect.
If somehow the new hard drive doesn't fix it, or you don't feel like buying a new hard drive, you could send the PS3 back to Sony. If you're under warranty it's free; otherwise it's expensive (150$ I believe).
If you request the repair service, they send you a box, you put the PS3 in it and ship it back to them. A month or 2 later they send you a fixed/different PS3. Simple, but takes forever to get a working PS3 back which is why I suggest you try a new hard drive first.
try restoring your ps3.
My ps3 wouldn't read disc, but since I restored it it's now reading discs.
Go to system settings on you're home screen. Then go to restore ps3 system & then go to full restore. It will take 3 & 1/2 hours but it could fix you're problem.
well i finished it and it worked but after i finish a match the screen would go black and sometimes when i try to start it it says error i think its courrupted data the only way to fix that is to restore your playstaion and redownload any map packs (if you had any)
There is an alternate way to restore your HDD. Turn off your system and when u see the red light, hold the power button in front until you hear a total of 4 beeps (1 alone, 1 alone, 2 together). It usually works on second try. it should show a screen and say hook up controller with a usb cord. Then it should show i think 6 options. Choose the restore option. it should work.
Hope it works and wish you all the best! P.S.- I just got the 80010514 error on my ps3 and my ps3 games dont work anymore :(
If you go to the memory, you should find an option where you can factory restore the harddisk and the console. Try those and if it still doesnt help, call sony for assistance.
