PS3 error Code

[richy22]

Im confuzzled.....

So mine hasnt been turned on since Saturday, Yet I want to turn it on to stream some movies from the PC onto it.

Im guessing I cant do that?? :S

 

[sneeks]

You're advised not to.

You could, but it'd be like dividing by zero. You could open up a black hole and end all life as we know it. I'm not saying not to, but it's your call.

Bye bye

What's with everyone treating this bug like it will wipe out every PS3 that's been affected?

About being advised not to switch on the PS3 - This just seems like a piece of general advice. I doubt doing so will actually do any damage.

FLOL. Didn't notice the date the 1st time round. Very clever!

Precisely my point...Im not wanting to go online with it.

Plus if turning it on will fubar it...how do people expect you to upgrade it it with a software update!

I sense a mass recall if they can't get PSN to work

 

[richy22]

Well PSN is actually working from what I can see...my GF's brother has a slim and he's playing COD online.

Read the threads, it's to do with the leap year date change into march.

We can land on the moon, make the iphone, clone sheep and build a veyron but the guys at sony can't input possible date change issues into a games console. Quite sad really, no wonder samsung make all there technology...

p.s. i had day off today, was going to go up a few ranks...priorities

Yah, but it's not a leap year? Lol.

So how come its fucked up?

 

[Gavin.]

Yah, but it's not a leap year? Lol.

So how come its f**ked up?

i was wondering that myself...hmm

It's got confused that it's NOT a leap year

A "fix" apparently!

For information, I've just done the battery disconnect trick, & it worked a treat.

I have an 80GB non backwards compatible phat from late 2008 CECHM03 model, & it's a piece of p!ss. I saw a youtube guy do it on a 60GB & it looked really complicated.

I would only recommend this if your PS3 is out of warranty. I wanted to blow some dust out of mine anyway.

1. Remove hard drive.
2. Remove warranty sticker above hard drive, & lever out rubber gromet.
3. Remove screw in hole. It's a star fitting, & I was lucky enough to have the right screwdriver, but I actually put it back in with a small flathead.
4. Turn PS3 upside & shake gently to get screw to fall out.
5. Place flat & slide off the shiny Playstation 3 lid.
6. Remove 7 obvious screws that were underneath lid. 6 are the same length, the rear right one is shorter. Easy to remember.

At this point you will think the lid will come off, it won't.

7. There is a small clip at the rear right of the unit if you're looking at it flat on the ground with the blu-ray drive on the right facing you. You just stick your finger in the whole & push. Lever the lid off starting with the back, the front should follow.
8. Lift up the blu-ray drive carefully (it's not secured). No need to unplug it as the is the furthest you will need to go.
9. The battery is right underneath the back right of the blu-ray drive (it's covered in a green cover, & has a little metal contact on top of it). Unplug the connector, wait a few seconds or a minute. Reconnect battery.

Put it back together.

Only things to note on re-assembly is that big cover should be clipped from the front & the back lowered into place, & that the screw holding the slidey cover is a git to get the screw back in & a magnetic screwdriver is a godsend.

I have previous experience of building my own PC's & I've taken a PS2 apart loads, but it is easy if you're just careful with the blu-ray drive. There is no contact with circuit boards or chips. You don't even see them. Whilst you're at it, blow the dust out.

Like I said above, this is just for my 80GB model.

When I turned the PS3 back on, it asked for the date, & then signed straight into the Playstation Network.

Yah, but it's not a leap year? Lol.

"Apparently" this is what some geek reckons...

Might be old news, but thanks to a certain hardware/software guru, and from various of sources and efnet they are able to at least give the letdown why this problem is happening. Quoted.

Well the gist is that the ARM SYSCON CPU that is used to power up the front panel of the ps3, that is responsible for doing things like sleep mode, eject, RTC etc. Is an old batch that sony picked up from the shelf like other manufacturers that has that calendar year bug regarding feburary 29th on certain periods. Causing the ps3 system clock and the real time clock to desync, messing up security measures like Digital Rights management software and sometimes games that relies on clocks for whatever reason. As well as signing up to the playstation network... This CPU is always on even when your PS3 isn't plugged
This problem is also happening with various of test Ps3 models, particulary the ones that has the emotion engine cpu/gpu for ps2 dev.

This is the one of the same type of CPUs that is powering up mobile devices like zune and blackberries, they have been affected with this bug, so they done some software patches. A syscon update can also fix this problem

The Slims ps3s aren't affected because they use a newer up to date revision on the syscon cpu that fixes this bug.

A quick way to fix this is to remove the RTC battery for at least 5-10 min and plug it back in, you will see the date and time reset, and voila...

cos the machines have been made thinking it's a leap year for some reason.

there's enough blogs about now and an official sony warning saying what's happened. people are still saying the psn is down, how the hell cn it be when slimlines get on fine.

it's to do with the clock/date/time system and battery in the console. not too difficult to find out.

why it's happened on a non leap year is the funny part.

sit tight and i'm sure it'll be sorted soon. can you imagine the mass marketing issue sony has to deal with. plc's

My bad.

You could get a PS3 phat and stick linux on it, and use that as work computer. That is, if you don't mind working offline.

http://boardsus.playstation.com/t5/...01050F-Error-before-freaking-out/m-p/45312422

my clock is now at the wrong time and date, so hope it does 'debugg' and sort itself.

'Damage', no. But there does seem to be a risk of losing data, officially the line is this...

as doing so may result in errors in some functionality, such as recording obtained trophies, and not being able to restore certain data.

 

[JayR]

Read the thread?

FLOL.

Good luck with that mate....

I did read it doesnt matter!

I aint even bothering trying.

 

[Joshua.J]

Thanks God!

 

[Brazo]

[richy22]

Cheers...mines out of warranty too actually...but I canny be arsed to open it up as my toolkit is in the shed

 

[Jonesy]

I heard that this was sonys way of getting an update on all ps3s that are affected by the geoholt hack.

Thats a load of rubbish its a hardware fault which also affects a lot of blackberries as they use the same chipset

 

[Revels]

Lol. If they wanted to update people, they'd just release it as an update.

Not have world wide bad PR for it.
