@@di Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 my ps3 which is less than a year old was working fine till yesterday but toay morning while playing arkham city it froze. i then waited for the orange hdd light to go off since after about 10 15 min it still won go off i held the power button till it turned off. on turning it back on it gave the message tht it will restore the data in 2 3 hours, i clicked on okafter 15 min or so it opened the home page. but now the xmb menu keeps lagging even without a disk inserted !! even wen i turn it off via controller it beeps twice before turnin off !!!the problem jus wont go away what to do ??????thnx in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abhinav Tuli Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 yup , that's right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abhinav Tuli Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 however i feel that restoring your back up might not be such a good idea because there might be something corrupt in your hard drive which could be causing your problem and you will be restoring that corrupt file again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might take 2 weeks also it depends upon availability of consoleb at service centre.Power cuts and constant freezes cause corrupt data. Do you hear any sound from HDD?
