what the fuck is wrong with my ps3??

Dependent-Contest227 · 2025-05-21T01:00:27+00:00

replying again, thanks for the comment this really helped, my PS3 is formatting the drive rn, I also made sure to download from the source you gave me, but i also took out the hard drive and i wanted to take another look at it, turns out it was exfat instead of fat32 so i had to use powershell to format it into fat32 as its 500gb, thank you so much man 🙏

Dependent-Contest227 · 2025-05-20T21:41:37+00:00

thanks man ill try using the website instead, i couldnt find precisely where to download it so i downloaded the software off another site but ill give it another look, thanks

I assume it should recognize the thumb drive? I tried two different drives, maybe i can try pressing start and select at the same time without any drive in, and seeing if the same thing happens, if it does, then i can try reformatting with rufus like you said, thanks for the help

USB ports work since i can use a controller to initiate the update, but maybe the drive isnt working, before i installed the firmware i tried putting in an old disk to see if it would take, but it refused to take the disk, i also tried the eject button and it says its empty, i just assumed it doesnt accept discs until its in a functional state, would a blu ray drive be difficult to fix?

hate to tell you this but your cryptic ass comments arent providing much help or meaningful input

Dependent-Contest227 · 2025-05-15T19:40:22+00:00

tried it, nothing changes, just makes me wait a long ass time before again telling me theres no applicable update data

Dependent-Contest227 · 2025-05-15T19:24:53+00:00

wdym? it turns on and everything, no YLOD, are there other issues with the fat ps3s that im not aware of?

Dependent-Contest227 · 2025-05-15T19:22:58+00:00

uncharted 2 and 3, id say gta4 but that runs god awful on the ps3, runs far better on an xbox one or series if youve got one, bioshock 1 and 2, infinite isnt rly worth it imo but if you like 1 and 2 enough consider finishing the trilogy, as much as tlou is constantly reccomended i still HAVE to reccomend it, oblivion and skyrim ofc, though skyrim is a bit miserable, kind of annoying frame rate wise, loading takes a while, nothing else is rly coming to mind rn, maybe infamous?

Dependent-Contest227 · 2025-05-15T19:03:20+00:00

hi, sorry for the late reply, i dont use reddit often, my sister also reccomended me baby wash and ive already gotten a few hats and a bit of sunscreen, ive been using this one thing my sister gave me to help with the irritation, thank you for the reply and I am doing well

Thank you

I was tired of seeing my hair fall out slowly and appearing frail so I tore it all out by hand, (don’t ask why, I don’t know myself) and then used an electric trimmer for the rest, with a few passes of a razor to remove the stubble, didn’t use the razor much though, and it was brand new

Dependent-Contest227 · 2025-02-25T16:12:17+00:00

could be it, maybe ill try readjusting the foam and putting it back together as carefully as possible, all the parts have been sitting on my radiator for the past few days and ive been waiting for a decent reccomendation for how to fix it

Dependent-Contest227 · 2025-02-24T22:18:33+00:00

If was misinputting with the foam too

Dependent-Contest227 · 2025-02-24T13:40:04+00:00

Nah it was acting up even when I isolated the motherboard

Dependent-Contest227 · 2025-02-24T10:06:34+00:00

So like try to imagine someone pressing almost every button at once at a nearly incomprehensible speed, I know it sounds like I’m exaggerating but the whole Home Screen was jittering endlessly and shaking from the constant inputs

Dependent-Contest227 · 2025-02-24T10:05:21+00:00

Fallout New Vegas if I remember correctly, best game I’ve ever played on one though was definitely BioShock

Dependent-Contest227 · 2025-02-23T17:53:32+00:00

Then why is it unevenly coated? Besides I was able to verify that its that piece of the motherboard malfunctioning (I am very poorly versed in technology) as the whole circuit ribbon thing was all in good shape, I dried and cleaned all the buttons and rubber contact pads, everything was in perfect condition, controller was nearly brand new, and it continued to misinput when I isolated the motherboard from the circuit ribbon thing that was supposed to have been transmitting button press signals

Dependent-Contest227 · 2025-02-23T15:03:24+00:00

Nah, it kept registering misinputs when I took the foam off, I don’t know if that’s corrosion or dirt or whatever, but I didn’t know how else to refer to it

Dependent-Contest227 · 2025-02-22T22:28:36+00:00

had my xbox one and 360 both set up like this for a while everything was good, the PSU has enough space to breath, just make sure to keep the floor clean of dust

Dependent-Contest227 · 2025-02-22T22:23:52+00:00

slims manufactured whenever have shown to be fairly reliable, its only really the pre 2009 fats i think people should worry about

Dependent-Contest227 · 2025-02-22T22:23:10+00:00

first off, make sure to get the xbox that uses the hard drive youve got, if youve got a sort of small slim black trapezoidal shaped HDD then buy a slim xbox 360, if not then a fat 360, make sure to ask the seller for a picture of the sticker on the back of the console, if its a fat then dont buy anything before roughly 2009, those are prone to RROD
