xXx Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Sony's PS3 Firmware Update Crashing Systems Sonys recent 2.60 firmware update for the PS3 added a new photo feature and some minor security updates, but some users are getting much more than that. Instead of fixing the console, the latest firmware update is actually destroying many users consoles and is a wide known issue. Many people are experiencing a disc error where their console will no longer recognize discs. The issue has something to do with the firmware update “burning” out the lens. Others are having settings reset and random errors throughout the console including the photo feature crashing their system. Note that not everyone is having these issues, but it is best to probably hold off on updating until a fix is issued. Sony has stated that the firmware update if just has a glitch and it is not a hardware issues similar to Mircrosofts Xbox 360 Red Ring of Death and will be fixed. The fix can be issued via a firmware update and users should wait for this version to update. The only problem is, this issue has been popping up randomly the past couple days and is not getting worse. It took this long for Sony to acknowledge the issue but they are normally good at releasing a fix and taking down the current problem. We really have no official date when a fix for the broken consoles will be released. Stay with PS3Center and we gather further news and another official word from Sony.

xXx Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Update on the Above Topic - Update: We have been contacted by a PlayStation Spokesperson with the following: "The faults that you have been told about are simply normal faults and it is purely coincidental that they happen at the time of an upgrade. More people use their PS3s when there is an update and much like with a new software title, at those times of high use there is an increase in the number of faults. We simply recommend that those whose PS3s have broken contact their local customer care centre."

xXx Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Regarding Warranty I forgot to ask him that But regardless of that it's good that he would be doing the lens changing in front of me...instead of taking a day or two....and then who knows what has he done, in PS3 i would be doing the Change tomorrow... will keep you'll posted of the progress....

Pushy Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 i think u won't get warranty(grey market ) and it's good that he will be doing it in front of ur eyes, mah contact took around 2-3 days, so even i don't what he did with the PS3(here's hoping nothing except for lens change) and then i did ask for the old lens and he promptly gave me the old PS3 lens(so that satisfied me that yes he has done something fruitful). all the best for ur PS3 lens change mah breda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think u need to talk to sony customer care , unless u have bought it from croma which gives u an option for extended warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reaper Posted February 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 ^^ Well ... one more SoD. Sony India will give you a replacement. Sony service centre personnel in India are not authorised to open a PS3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
