I think i have broken my husbands ps3 please help!?

May be...

This morning i was annoyed with the kids as i said there was no ps3 before school so i just turned it off at the switch without giving it another thought.

when my husband finished work the games wont load up and it says hard drive error is there any way this can be fixed i feel really bad it is a 60gb and about a year old. please help me?

Don't worry it is a simple hardware error. You husband still may not be happy that he'll loose all his saved games but IT IS DEFINITELY NOT worth buying a new PS3 over.



If the option is available simply go onto the playstation XMB (the menu system; by pushing the playstation button on the controller pad) then:



System> System Settings>Format Utility>Format Hard Disk>Use All for the PS3 System



If this does not work you shall have to format it outside of the playstation please see the link I have provided in my sources.



Hope it works out ok!

Luckily, you probably just messed up the hard drive and not the other hardware in the system. The hard drive is easily replaced- search for how online, but don't attempt it if you don't understand EXACTLY what to do and which hard drive to replace it with. The hard drive could probably be reformatted and salvaged if you are tech savvy enough.

its most likely a corrupted hard drive, just format the hard drive and that will clean the hard drive, then the only thing that you will lose is the data on the hard drive which can include game saves, pictures, internet cache and pornographic content.if he loves you more than his progress in games your ok.

i would get a new harddrive. but not a new ps3 because he would find out considering that his can play ps2 games while the ones on the market can't so if he pops in a ps2 game and it doesn't work, there will be questions. but i would come clean, it's always better getting these things off your chest.

If the system was installing a game, or data to the hard drive when you switched it off, it may very well have corrupted your HDD. You can reformat and see if this will work. Otherwise you may need to get a new HDD.

yeah.. and he's got 3 illicit children with his other wife.



how does it feel? hmmm?



hehe just kidding its probably good for him to take a break. tell what, admit to bumping the plug while cleaning the area

oops hes not gonna be happy.dont worry love is it under guarantee?im sure it will be fixable,i doubt you turning it off at the switch wont have been what caused the problem.good luck

yup, u have single handedly destroyed the best of the PS3 models and the best console on the planet.

I think its new PS3 time!!!

this is why i dont let my sister or mum touch mine

Tell him your kids did it. Be good for them not to veg out in front of it all the time anyway.

i suggest you go to the off licence get him 8 of his favourite beers put on his favourite stockings and suspenders put him on a promise then in the morning all might be forgiven you no what boys are like with there toys

another DIVORCE pending ?????

probably got fried pulling it like that. HURRY GO BUY HIM A NEW ONE! nah jk but its a easy but expensive way to get out of this hah

girl, you better run to the nearest pawn shop or gamestop, take the old one so they can load the new one..NOW!

Make him a nice meal, and perform oral sex.

That should please your husband.

try formatting it first

if still it doesn't work ,change the hard drive

u may as well stab him in the heart because that's how hes gonna feel when he finds out
