Ps3 prob

Zippe

Hey,

"Mods"I'm not sure if this is in the right place for this type of thread'

My son got a ps3 for Christmas and he was using the wireless control,he plugged the controller into the unit to charge it and jumped back in the chair and forgot the chair was to far away for the lenth of cord that is on the controller and the ps3 hit the floor,it has been stuck in restor for last 2hours and is not gone pass 46% restored in that time,it got to 43% fast and then slowed down,is there anything he can do to reboot it ? I don't know anything about this type of stuff myself so any help advice would be great,

Cheers zip,

if it hit the floor, you could of damaged the hardware, why don't you try returning it back to the shop you got it from, just say it was faulty when you got it.

It does say that the restore could take a few hours.Mine is the same if.If the power goes and I have to reboot it, it will fly up to around 40 or 50 percent and then go slowly the rest of the way. Leave it restore overnight and if it doesn't work then try out some other options.

Is it an old model PS3 or a PS3 slim? If there's a yellow light on where it should be green, there's most likely a hardware problem.

I just had a look at it there now,the screen on the tv is gone blank and yellow light is gone off and power light is gone green,

Cheers
