When doing the updates this morning the screen went black for about 30 seconds, I just left it and it came back fine. Maybe people are hitting the power button when this happens?

Downloaded the update as normal this morning, installed it and after the PS3 reset itself it just hung on the main menu/XMB screen with none of the XMB icons showing. My Six Axis also decided it didn't want to sync with the machine anymore and the power button wouldn't turn the PS3 off. After switching it off at the back I decided to try and reset the settings back to default by holding down the power button at the front, after doing so I now get a blank screen and no sound plus my Six Axis still refuses to sync with the machine even with the usb cable plugged in.Originally posted by hoolak View PostWhoopsadaisy.

I've read that formatting the HDD by putting it into another PS3 then putting it back into the borked PS3 fixes the problem but I don't have another PS3 handy to try it out yet.Comment

Are you sure? Is yours connected via hdmi as I thought mine bricked on the update before and all it was was the video output had reset it self. What colour is the led when the console is swtiched on?Originally posted by Nisa View PostComment

Just an update on my UK 40gb PS3. Now doesn't get by the startup screen and is totally goosed. Called customer services and i'll be getting a replacement console next Thursday. Bit pissed to be honest.
This all came from me downloading the 2.4 firmware this morning. On the plus side, i'll be getting a 160gb hardrive all ready to stick in my new machine when it arrives.Comment

It's green mate, I've tried using an RGB scart as well as the HDMI cable I was already using, still nothing.Originally posted by huxley View PostComment

Not sure if you're meaning myself?, but i'll give removing the harddrive and seeing if it boots up when I get home tonight. What's the 'default settings start'? Just wish I could access the XMB somehow....??? Think it's fecked to be honestOriginally posted by John Parry View Post
Just a wee bit more info. The PS3 doesn't turn on with the PS button on the wireless controller or the blu ray remote, so it needs to be turned on with the on/off button on the machine itself. When you do that, the wee intro tune plays the background appears but that's it. No XMB. Tried turning it on with a game in but same result.Last edited by Crocski; 02-07-2008, 16:30.Comment

There's a few people on the official PS3 boards who are ending up with their machines bricked.
Haven't updated mine yet and kind of reluctant to now after reading about it

Not bricked, its some sort of data error
Remove harddrive format it and start again.
Safest option would seem to be doing the update via a memory stick etc.Comment

Sorry to hear some have bricked. Doing mine now, hope it's OK....
Been reading the issue with the PS3 taking over a game and putting in custom soundtracks is because MS own a patent for that. Don't you like these ridiculous patent laws! It's OK if a dev does it apparently, and Sony have added that functionality.Comment
