Guest Dr. Bunsen Honeydew Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 My PS3 which ive played for about ten hours total so far seems to be broken, hopefully its something else, im posting in hopes that someone may have experienced this before and be able to offer advice. When I turn on the system all i see on the screen is green noise reminiscent of a broken atari or something. The system worked with the same exact setup since i've gotten it, and worked up until today when i restarted it. Here is a list of actions which led to and after the green screen problem occurred: Turned on system Logged into store Downloaded a game demo Downloaded another game demo installed first demo played first demo deleted first demo checked on status of second download launched a different game demo screen turned green and noisy but sound was normal turned off power on back restarted and screen still green unplugged cables and plugged them back in, still green tried new hdmi cable, still green looked up 'green screen ps3' and apparently theres another much more common green screen issue which is different than the one I am experiencing which caused search results to be all for the other issue. anyone experienced this green screen or have any suggestions?

autopilot Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 (edited) Turn off the power. Now turn back on the power, but HOLD the soft power button (the one on the front by the disc tray, not the switch). Keep holding it while the whole thing boots up. Don't let go until the boot up process finishes. What this does is boots up the system but resets the audio and video settings to their default. If that doesn't solve your problem then your firmware's fucked and you gotta send it back to Sony.

Did this twice, the second time it worked. Tried it yesterday as well but for some reason nothing happened then. Hopefully this isn't a temporary fix but either way its good news as my computer now seems to be fucked :omg: , gives me a reason to file for my tax return anyhow.

I'm waiting for the black square "Steam Box" which just has some USB controller ports, built in wifi, an ethernet jack, and 1tb hard drive, and just connects to your steam account. Man that would rock.
