I have no idea why this happens. So when I turn on my PS3, the screen starts glitching, then it freezes!
In this case I got as far as the Webman menu before it did this to me. I can still hear XMB sounds when I navigate with the buttons, however, if I blindly navigate to a game and start it it locks up completely. When I press the power button it beeps 3 times instead of turning off. I tried reflashing the NOR with an older backup, and it didn’t work. Also, I can boot to the recovery menu and rebuild the database, but it only fixes the problem for a few days.
Guys WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? Is it a hardware fault? Is my ps3 slim dying?
UPDATE: Now my PS3 just blackscreens. No YLOD. Also I’ve downgraded it to 3.55 OFW and it worked perfectly the previous day.
UPDATE: Those bastards at CeX refused to refund me just because I swapped out the 320GB HDD for a 1TB HDD. Can you believe it?
