It's been at least a week since I used my PS3. So, turning it on, I come across an update notice. When the update has finished, the console just hangs on the main menu background. What gives?

Corrupt data most likely.



You can try this to fix it, but it may take a wee while!



Firstly, you need to get your ps3 into recovery mode.

Make sure your TV is on the correct input for the ps3 and the ps3 is in standby mode.

Turn on your ps3 using the standby button but keep your finger held on the button until the console turns off. Wait a few seconds.

Press and hold the button again, THIS IS THE IMPORTANT BIT, you will hear a 'beep' as the console boots up, then shortly after you will hear two quick beeps, as soon as you hear the two quick beeps, take your finger off of the button.

You should now have a message on the screen telling you to plug in a controller and press the PS button, do it.

You should now have a list of options on the screen.

The ones you need are...

3. Restore File System

This will rewrite the files the PS3 uses to boot. This feature will help if files have become corrupted and are not allowing the console to boot as normal. This should not erase any of your saved data or settings.



4. Rebuild Database

This can be a useful feature if you have lost files on your system for no apparent reason. Try using this feature to see if it can restore those files. This will also rewrite corrupted files within the database, potentially eliminating future issues. This feature should not erase any of your saved data or settings.



If your ps3 still doesn't boot, you need to use this menu again to install the update from a USB drive.

Go to the PlayStation website for your region and download the most recent update to your PC, get a USB drive (formatted to FAT32) and on this drive, make a folder called PS3 (it has to be caps) in this folder make another one named UPDATE, put the update file in this folder.

Have your ps3 on standby, insert the USB drive, boot up in recovery mode again and select the 6th option - System Update.



This will update the system without the need for it to be fully booted up.





Hope this helps.

Many people merely can't afford to keep dropping and losing and losing before income is all gone. And along with it move your home, your household and you respect but with Zcodes System from here https://tr.im/QmcQl this is not planning to happen.

With Zcodes System you could have an computerized formula doing all that do the job in the backdrop and then formulating the absolute most probably result, you can use that information and pick probably the most likely winning group much more correctly than the common Joe.

Zcodes recommends that you follow the A-B-C betting technique.  That's, create a 1-unit bet.  In the event that you lose, create a 2-unit bet.  If you lose that, make a 3-unit bet.  If you lost that, reset and start straight back along with your “A” bet. Using this A-B-C approach, you must come ahead about 86.5% of that time period with each A-B-C series you play using Zcodes, very good odds.

Sport betting can be fun to complete but with this method https://tr.im/Asl0q , Zcodes System you may also have a good supplement to make some added money.

The great thing about the Zcodes System is that even although you never seen a baseball or a tennis game in your whole life, you can follow the system's earning choices and earn money from games you're maybe not compelled to watch, obviously seeing the actual activities you're betting on can be a fun task but remember that the golf game may last as much as 4-5 hours in some cases, the equivalent of watching “The Master of the Rings”…

Using Z Signal Program is much like having your own particular team of sports handicappers functioning often for you personally each and every day!

Do you want to follow a winning sports betting system but don't have time to analyze the stats and probabilities yourself?

Are you tired of losing by following so called sports guru's that have no clue what they are doing?



Imagine if you had a fully automated Sports betting robot that not only calculates all the stats and probabilities but also gives you EXACT picks you need to place to win? With EXACT unit sizes! Yes, complete No Brainer.

Nothing to calculate

Nothing to worry about

Human error free winning picks
