    so if i say no to all , and i tried a new power supply and cord is it the switch in the back?

    It could be the switch, here is what I can do for you. I have extra switches, I am not a stalker or anything I just don't want you to by the switch and it not work. Send me your address and I will mail you one I do need to know thw model so I can send you the right one. If the switch doesn't do it then I hate to say it but its a dead machine.

On ps3, when switched on, says hard drive corrupted, will restore. after a while trying to restore, same thing comes up again.

  • Turn off the PS3 console, if it isn't already.Press and hold the power button on the console as it powers on, and then powers off again.Press and hold the power button a second time until you hear two consecutive beeps. If your console powers down before you hear the second beep, try holding down the power button again. It should work during the second cycle.Connect your controller to the console with the USB cable when prompted to do so.Turn on the controller. You will now have access to the PS3 recovery menu.Select option three which states "Restore File System: Checks for corrupt/missing system files." This option will identify and correct and corrupt files. Your PS3 should now be fixed. If this option doesn't fix your problems, you'll want to do a complete system restore and follow the next step.Turn off the PS3 console by holding down the power button.Press and hold the power button on the console as it powers on, and then powers off again.Press and hold the power button a second time until you hear two consecutive beeps. If your console powers down before you hear the second beep, try holding down the power button again. It should work during the second cycle.Select option 5 which states "Restore PS3 System: Fresh restore; Deletes everything and starts from Scratch." Be aware that performing a complete system restore will cause all data on the hard drive to be lost. This option restores the PS3 back to its original factory condition.

    This problem is because your PS3 software has become corrupt. The following steps will cure the problem but you will lose saved games and all other data. Your trophies will not be affected as these are stored by the Playstation Network.
    Step 1. Turn your PS3 onto standby (Red light on)
    Step 2. Press and hold the power button. It will beep as soon as you press it, beep 5 seconds later then beep once more 5 seconds later and then turn back to standby. Release the power button.
    Step 3. Press and hold the power button again. It will beep when you first press it, beep again 5 seconds later and then beep twice quickly. Let go of the power button as soon as you hear these two beeps.
    Step 4. The PS3 will start up asking you to plug in a controller with a USB cable and press the PS button. Do this and it will boot into the recovery menu.
    Step 5. Choose option 5 (Restore PS3 system). This will re-install the PS3 software and restart the console.
    Step 6. When the PS3 restarts you will be asked to enter the time and date and other information. When the setup is complete your PS3 will boot into the home menu normally.

    Play station three will not turn on on then off when power button is pushed.
    First, old PS3 or new slim PS3?

    The old models have a power switch on the back that must be on. You'll know its on if you have a red light on the front of your console.

    To turn the PS3 on, press the power button. A light should turn green, and you're good to go.

    To turn off the older PS3's, you must hold the power switch down for several seconds. For the new slim model, just press the button quickly.
