PS3 beeps 3 times and restarts sometimes after exiting game or app using the PS button

then I don't know. it's either the hdd or the system failing.

What do you mean by system?

 

[godreborn]

the ps3. what else could it be?

I know, but which PS3 component, specifically?

 

[godreborn]

no idea, but you'd probably have to check the syscon for errors.

How can that be done?

 

[godreborn]

you'd have to ask on psx-place as I've never done it. I'm pretty sure soldering is involved, which may turn off most people.

How can I do that?

[godreborn]

that's what I was thinking "connecting to the UART."

 

[SylverReZ]

I guess you could get one of those FT232RL UART adapters and do the work from there.

Can that find the culprit behind the beeping thrice and restarting problems or like some told me, is it normal PS3 behavior and there's nothing I can do about it?

Like "godreborn" mentioned, it could be either the HDD, PSU, or something else.

I can assure you that that's not normal.

It's best to do your own research if none of the solutions help you, but either way, what your PS3 is doing is not normal by any means.

Then I find it odd, since my first PS3 also had this problem and right from the start and others also complained they always had it.

 

[godreborn]

no offense, but you do seem to have a lot of problems with your system. what are the odds that all your systems would have some sort of problem. I think this is user error at this point.

I don't think so when others complain about the same problems and in some cases I also have them in new consoles. Also, some issues were fixed by homebrew updates.

It seems to me that it is by design. Most likely due to some sort of software error that happens or the inability for the system to properly flush the program out of the system memory when the game or app exits. Rather than seeing it as a proper exit the system treats it as a crash. Dunno why and doesn't really matter since there is nothing we as users can do to fix it. Let the system reboot and move on.

In the end, there's nothing you can do about it so you just have live with it.

So, some users say it's normal and others say it's not...

Also, and is it normal behavior to have no battery after turning off the PSP, taking the battery when it was flashing (meaning it was low in battery), put the battery back and turning on the PSP? I've had this "problem" in all of my 5 PSPs AFAIK.

Just 'fun' watching (I hate the SW parts, the parts in between are very interesting)



the replacement of the NEC-Tokins seems not the solution for the ylod but the replacement of the RSX processor (Frankenstein solution) does. Not for the faint of heart.

I wasn't talking about YLODs in the PS3 and what do "SW parts" mean?
