Bad PS3? - Blu-ray Forum

BluHavik · 02-24-2008, 10:16 AM

Anyone else? I guess had to wear out the PS3? I have a PS3 that will play games fine but when I go to watch a movie, I get a slideshow with no sound at all. Just happened, I tried everything. Took the PS3 straight to the TV and still get the slideshow and no sound, tried 2 different HDMI cords as well. I folded about 250 units total, I'm thinking that might have killed it. I'm thinking I wore out the BD drive. It's less then a year though so they better fix it. We don't need a rrod of the PS3 scandal.

I know folding doesn't use the drive. But running the Cell so hard my have wore it out.

well, it doesnt sound like the optical drive is going bad since games will play.

Maybe try giving your system a reset?

XMB: Settings - System Settings - Restore Default Settings

I've folded over 500 units and mine has been running 24/7 since November 17, 2006. No problems here.

Like you said though, your system is less than a year old. Get on the warranty repair RIGHT AWAY!
