My ps3 is telling that there is an error code 80010514 what is this and how do we fix the problem

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.

WARNING: If your PS3 is under Warranty, SEND IT BACK, follow these instructions only if you have run out of other options and consider yourself tech-savvy.

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

Hello,

• Your getting an error code because the PlayStation Network has a worldwide outage and has for 3 days now and the most recent update from Sony hints towards this running into the weekend. You are far from the only one getting codes for no apparent reason. At this point I recommend disregarding any codes until you confirm the PSN is up and running in your area.

Hello johncoxon564 and welcome to FixYa. Honestly I must tell you up front that the particular error code you have gotten is not good. It is actually known as a dual error which means two things to you. First the Blu-Ray drive has failed or is in the process of failing or your XMB file system has been corrupted and must be restored. If the drive is failing you are very low on repair yourself options however if your are somewhat lucky and the filesystem has been corrupted we can atempt this solution together. First place your finger on the PS3 power button and hold it down until you hear two beeps. After you hear the second beep let go of the button. This should startup your PS3 and prompth you to connect your controller to the console using your USB to miniUSB cable. After doing that you will have to press the PS button on your controller. You should see a series of options. This is Very Important as you must make sure you select the correct option of you could stand the chance of losing everything on your drive which I am positive you don't want. You want to select Restore File System. This in turn should bring up a screen saying reading Corrupted System Data Your PS3 will now replace this data. Choose continue and wait for the process to complete and you should be all set. My best wishes go out to you and good luck.
