Sony Playstation 3 (PS3) Console Logo
Posted on Dec 31, 2009

Games wont load

I was playing a game and it froze (not uncommon with NHL2K10). Upon resetting, my game load screen did not appear, instead replaced by the Sony Store logo. Turning off the PS3 didn't work, neither did loading a Blue Ray movie. Please help!

Try reseting

  • Make sure the system is off.
  • Hold down the Power Button for 5-6 seconds - until you hear the second beep.
  • That's it, your video settings are reset and you should be able to choose your input and configure it from there

  • Also
    Hard Reset procedure for the PS3 (as instructed by Sony CS).
    Be sure to backup your settings/games saves by doing a System > Backup on your PS3 or you may lose your game saves! Also, this is a last resort procedure prior to exchanging/returning to sony.
    1. Power Off the PS3 via the power switch in back and power back on w/switch.
    2. Hold Power Button on the Front until you hear 3 beeps.
    3. Then go through the initial setup and then run a full Format via System > Format. (will take approx 3 1/1 hours). You may need to have our AV cables ready if your using HDMI (in case HDMI isn’t detected after initial reset).
    4. Restore your backup you made prior to doing factory/hard reset (optional, if you created a backup).

    alsoMe and some other people thought that the Reset button was on the back, on the upper center with the white marking. Thats not the reset button. The reset button is to the right. You need a machanical pencil (with lead extended) to poke it.

    Wont load games

    It either going to be a problem with the laser, try playing other games on it. If other games play then that means its a problem with that one game. If none of the games play then that means either the laser needs to be replaced or the whole drive itself should be replaced.

    My PS3 Games wont show up in the games list

    Return under warranty.
    the blu ray laser will have been slightly overheated and as a result will need to be replaced.

    Have you tried a cd head cleaner on the PS3 yet? could be dirty head! If not(and i hope it does) then it may well need returned to where you got it to get it fixed.
