Thats a load of rubbish its a hardware fault which also affects a lot of blackberries as they use the same chipset
Taking it to pieces voids your warranty, IIRC
is warranty 1 year on ps3's?

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.
On a chubby console?Just been playing it's fine
Well i just failed at that, had no seals to break seeing as my 60gb has always had the screw missing that holds the top lid on (winner )
Got it all to bits fine, looked at the back right of the blueray drive and their was sod all there???
i think sony has sorted it as my ps3 is working again now and i can update the clock via internet currently signed into psn now lets just hope cod boots fine. ill check back with my findings
Yup Everything Is Now Fine Playing Cod Now Reaver85 If U fancy a game.
The 8001050F error that had glitched PlayStation 3 consoles on March 1 has resolved itself as midnight passed.
Due to a clock functionality error related to a leap year miscalculation, the console reset the date to January 1, 2000, blocking access to games with Trophies and PSN downloads.
After Sony announced that a solution would present itself within 24 hours, users are now reporting that their consoles returned to function as midnight passed within the GMT timezone.
While games and PSN-related content have returned, Trophies that were not synced to the servers before the glitch have been lost.
Sony are expected to issue a firmware update to ensure that the error won't occur in future.
Lol. If they wanted to update people, they'd just release it as an update.
Not have world wide bad PR for it.
