The PS3 Disc Reading Problem (SOD) thread


reaper

Recommended Posts

Hey friends one problem.....actually to resolve the issue I had formated my harddisc and noted all the details on a piece of ppr....bby now you can imagin that I have lost that info and don't remember my ps store login details (except my psn id - avalancher). Is there a possibility that i can get my details back :wave: !!!

 

 

there's a password recovery process - but you need your DOB and POB (place of birth) - easy enough if you entered them truthfully in the first place.

Ahh you too...sad :thumbdown:

 

Check list of service centres from this link http://www.sony.co.in/section/servicecenters

 

 

thanks ambar, I will take it to them, so jus the console alone would do right?

 

yea ..jus to make clear, it keeps telling me to update my firmware and also said in between firmware update failed?!!...do u guys think it mite be a firmware issue???...coz i am dloadin the latest one on my comp, should i try updating and then conclude that its gone or does the firmware update have nothing to do with the console reading discs?! im guessing the latter...but nevertheless !

hmmm...do try updating the firmware...if it works...nothing like it :thumbdown:

 

and take ur ps3 + controller + all accessories that came out of the box to the service centre...they'll probably replace the whole unit

Before you give the console back... deactivate it and remove all your user accounts from it.

 

u mean the user profile that i created??...how does that matter?...and yea what do u guys think about landmark not putting a date of purchase on the warranty card, u think i can tell sony i bot the console like a month back and increase and thereby increasing the warranty??...

Just remove the ids before you give your console. if there is no date stamped by landmark, then you will have to produce original receipt.

 

yea ill do that, and i did try the firmware update, it dint help, should i try a system format?...will that help?? or am i just wasting time, and I should go give it to Sony?

BIG J some advice, you dont need to take the GT5 along with you. Dont take the outer box which has GT5 bundle written on it, take the inner PS3 box only and they will give you a brand new PS3.

 

o is that so cause the other guys said take everything so I packed everything including the outer GT5P box, now that u mention it, I wont take the game and the outer package...thanks for the advice bro

 

PS- another question I jus noticed on top of teh outer package on the contents, its says 'Euro AV connector plug' I dont remember seeing this in the package, did u guys get it??...hope this doesnt cause any trouble!
