My PS3 deck was working fine until this morning. No matter what troubleshooting "fixes" I try to do, the deck will not play any type of PS2 game. Last night it was playing PS2 games, now this morning it's not. Every game inserted is black on the screen.

Hi,

Unfortunately this is a very common problem with the PS3 and is the first sign that the Bluray laser is failing.

For a full breakdown on the issues involved, please see this FixYa Tip.

Hope this helps. Thanks for using FixYa.

hard wire the ps3 to the router first to see if connection is lost.............if not it's interference between ps3 and router

In Playstation Store, you should download (for free) the PS2 SYSTEM DATA (something like this).
if you have formated your system, the files were erased, and the games won't play until you download the backwards comparibility files again.

same thing happened to me two days ago, it would play everything but ps3 games. i called sony and they said it would be $150 again (in april i had a yellow light failure) so i looked online and someone suggested reformatting the harddrive and now it works fine......thank god

Number 1, Stay away from PS3 for right now as it is very unreliable., If you must, get a good warranty.

Fixing the PS2. Get a magnifying glass and bright flashlight and pick the dust, dirt and lint from the Lasers optical path. Also , you might see smudges ot scratches that restrict the optics. .

according to sony they have stop supporting ps2 game on the ps3 consoles.

so if you have bought a brand new ps3, dont count on it playing ps2 games or psx for that matter.

That would be the game, i hear that not all ps2 games are compatible for the ps3 so dont panic it wont be the ps3 some ps2 game do run slow and some other games work perfectly fine on ps3.

Playstation 3s are only backwards compatible to an extent, only some playstation 2 games will work on a playstation 3 you should try some newer playstation 2 games and if they work then its the game if no playstation 2 games work check the internet for some updates for your playstation 3.

Solved!!!at least in mine.. I found that the internal PS2 memeory card was corrupted..I deleted it and created a new one...problem solved!!! I lost all my saved games though..but still price worth paying to play my PS2 Games

Error 80028f17 is a boot error and there is nothing you can really do about it, the disk is corrupted or burned (illegal copy) of the game. If it is legit, go back to the store and ask for another copy as it doesn't work.
