Gaming Ps3 Dies after latest update

[Nathan Drake]

Have you tried removing the hard drive, blowing on the connectors, and reinserting it? If there really is no yellow in there, then that may be a solution for you.

so there is no way to open debug mode???

You can't turn on your PS3 so no there is no way

Do you have the original PS3 HDD still inside?? Original 60GB drive, or did you upgrade?

A friend of mine had the same problem with you with exactly the same model.......
So we removed the hard drive and blew on the connectors..
And the Ps3 works again

Why don't you try it too???

Did you have changed your hard drive?

I've heard 3.56 have a bug on some PS3, it only accept the original hard drive (a fix should be coming soon).
Nah never touched the insides.

Australian retail laws are pretty customer friendly, even more so since the new year brought new consumer laws in. If you have a reasonable belief that the console should have lasted longer than it did, then you have every right to have it serviced, regardless of what Sony' stated warranty is. I've had a customer get given a refurbished iPod by Apple even though it was 18 months old after the flash memory failed.

Careful about taking it back to the store though without any sort of return authorisation, you may have a right, but unless you get an understanding soul, be prepared to get a brick wall or a retard.


EDIT: From the ACCC Link

Do I still have rights if I have a problem?

Yes. You have rights under the laws that existed at the time you made the purchase (not the laws that applied at the time you noticed the problem).

This means that purchases made:

* on or after 1 January 2011 are covered by the new consumer guarantees regime.
* before 1 January 2011 are covered by the old implied warranties and conditions regime.

Your statutory rights are not limited to a set time period – they do not just 'expire' or 'run out'. The length of time they apply for depends on what it would be reasonable to expect, given the cost and quality of the goods or services you bought.

For example, you would expect an expensive household appliance (such as fridge) to last longer than a smaller or cheaper appliance (such as a toaster).

Remedies for problems with goods

Under the Trade Practices Act, you have the right to seek a refund if one of the statutory conditions is breached.

This means that you may be entitled to a refund if the goods you purchased before 1 January 2011:

* are or become faulty through no fault of your own
* are not fit for a stated purpose or a purpose you made known to sales staff at the time of purchase
* do not match the description or sample shown to you
* have defects that were not obvious or not shown to you before you purchased.

However, the goods must be returned within a reasonable period and you may be asked for proof of purchase. Be aware that you may only be entitled to a partial refund if the fault develops after you have enjoyed some use of the goods.

Depending on the circumstances, you might reach an agreement with the seller that another form of settlement is appropriate, such as to exchange the goods, or have the goods repaired.
