My PS3 is F'd!!

[DARKSIDE]

Went to turn on my PS3 to finish up making some new edits for Karl, and what happens? The console doesn't turn on when I press the PS button on the controller. So, I go to turn it on manually and....**beep beep beep**...I get a flashing red light and the system doesn't turn on. The red indicator light just sits there blinking...and mocking me!

So, any possible changes I may have had in mind for my CAWs are now all scrapped until further notice! I am going to try a few things to attempt fixing this on my own. If none of it works, then I will be out of the gaming loop for quite some time. Definitely some time after WWE 13 comes out, at the very least.

Wow, that totally sucks! No BluRay watching for you either then, I guess. Rest assured though that I aim to keep Angel, Minion, Nightmare and Death on my CAW slots for ya.

[DARKSIDE]

I have a Blu-Ray player as well, so I can still watch movies. Bad thing is, my WWE 12 disc won't even eject from the damn machine! And I still haven't taken down all that info I promised you, Karl. Now, the things we discussed might never happen after all. I had so many things I hadn't even mentioned yet. Seems kind of a waste to bring them up now.

PM me is you still want to help me out, and we'll talk it over.

[DARKSIDE]

SCREWED NO MORE!! Console is fixed and running like a champ again. ;D

[Chris Lionheart]

awesome

[Ryan Blaze]

Great to hear! Hope it wasn't too pricey of a fix. Mind sending me your PSN ID so I can add you to my PSN buddy list?

[DARKSIDE]

My PSN ID is DarksideSVR. Feel free to add me.

Only thing the repair didn't fix was that my WWE 12 save file is corrupt and it loads everything horribly slow. When I start a match, it takes almost 5 minutes just for the first entrance to start. Then 5 more for the next, then about 5 for the actual match to load up before I can play it. Editing an entrance is painful! I made some changes to one of my CAW entrances last night, and it took me about 2 hours before I was done. Would have normally taken maybe 15 minutes. Sucks, but I live with it. Better than not having it at all.

All my other games load up and run just fine. When I get WWE 13 in a couple months, I won't have to worry about it anymore, so I deal with it for now.

[spyder78]

I would delete the whole file and start over.. I did that to mine and just redownloaded what I had uploaded.. I know it sucks starting over

[DARKSIDE]

And make all my CAWs and paint Tool stuff over again? That will take months! I will just live with the issues it's having.

Another thing I noticed is all my WWE 12 DLC is gone. I still have all my CAWs and unlockables, but my DLC characters (and their moves) are all not there. Other downloaded games and content on my system are still there. Just the WWE 12 stuff, for some reason. Weird...

[spyder78]

Oh thought you had it all on the CC... My bad then. You will have to re-dl dlc,since its already paid ofr you won't have to worry about getting charged again.. Seems it resets it self to the default game for everything when stuff like that happens

[DARKSIDE]

Never mind. Took a dump again tonight. Same problem!

[Chris Lionheart]

You mean the PS3 died again tonight?

If you were on 360 I'd have you move the entire game data onto a pendrive, then send me a .zip of the data through your PC. Then I'd rehash and resign the data for ya. But PS3 is a bit derp when it comes to moving files around etc.

[DARKSIDE]

I just need to start making the big bucks so I can get a new system and start fresh. Just have to eat all the lost time on all the games I had saved on it, I guess.

The guy who fixed it had a guarantee on his work, so I e-mailed him back to see if he could look at it one more time. There has to be something fucked up with it. If it gets fixed and dies a third time, I'm done!
