background :

 

have a ps3 12gb superslim which i have added a 1tb hdd to.

 

been playing assassin's creed brotherhood which comes in a "brotherhood & revelations double pack" which installs game to hdd. its been a real pain. it keeps getting stuck on loading screen or freezes up in-game. many times it locks up the ps3 & i cant quit the game either & i've had to either open the tray to get the ps3 to restart or turn it off from the power button. have had to reinstall the game multiple times.

 

 

 

current situation :

 

now yesterday it got stuck at loading screen, i opened the tray after which the ps3 made a beep and then went into a black screen, ps3 power button didnt turn it off either, i waited for awhile & then turned off the ps3 from mains. after that powering on led to blank screen with no display, the controller also just blinks, pressing power button just beeps and doesn't turn off. i looked up a solution & holding down the power button for awhile it went off.

 

i then removed the hdd & luckily display came on and said no hard drive detected whether I want to switch to internal flash memory, I selected yes & xmb menu comes up. then i tried putting hdd back it asked whether I want to switch to hdd then it'll delete everything on it, it says it's transferring from flash memory to internal hdd but after finishing task it again has a blank screen with continuous hdd activity light blinking. so go into safe mode to see if I can fix the hdd, try rebuild database but it again goes into blank screen, I wait for awhile but hdd activity light also stops & still there's no display.

 

are there any fixes so i can recover the hdd as there are some game saves which i havent backed up (including some 20 odd hours of progress in this annoying ACB game which i wouldnt like to replay). also some psn games installed which will be a pain to redownload & install again.

 

tldr -

 

1. ps3 with internal hdd has a blank screen & even switching off requires the button to be pressed for 10 seconds

2. ps3 can go into safe mode

3. ps3 seems ok when using internal flash memory as storage

 

help needed -

 

1. whats the issue with the assassin's creed brotherhood constantly freezing? other games work fine, btw

2. get the ps3 to work with the hdd
