Hard Reset procedure for the PS3 (as instructed by Sony CS).
Be sure to backup your settings/games saves by doing a System > Backup on your PS3 or you may lose your game saves! Also, this is a last resort procedure prior to exchanging/returning to sony.
1. Power Off the PS3 via the power switch in back and power back on w/switch.
2. Hold Power Button on the Front until you hear 3 beeps.
3. Then go through the initial setup and then run a full Format via System > Format. (will take approx 3 1/1 hours). You may need to have our AV cables ready if your using HDMI (in case HDMI isn’t detected after initial reset).
4. Restore your backup you made prior to doing factory/hard reset (optional, if you created a backup).
Clarence, you are going to have to open up the stereo to manually eject the cd. There are several different models SONY has made of the "XPLOD" stereo. To make it easier for you, it would be a good idea to look on the back and note the serial number, or model number. For example, the steps to open up a touch screen "XPLOD" (XAV-63) is going to be different than a more standard (CDXGT150S). I hope this helps. Kick in some more info and I'll be happy to assist you further. ^^
Try doing the video reset. It seems to work the same for all SONY products. Hole the power down for a full cycle until it powers back off. I'm not sure if this will fix your issue, but it wont hurt to try. ^^ Good luck.
Brian, you are having an issue with your "
flicker" rate. You will have to adjust your frame refresh rate, or dpi to suit the connection you are trying to make. For example; Netflix works best at 720 dpi, but it will run at 1080. If you reduce the resolution, it will allow the LED's time to extinguish completely between the pixels. ^^ Hope this helps, and good luck.
Dallas, you have one of two options here. Either, you are able to repair your system using the Red Light of Death method (RLOD) or scrap the system and get a new one. I'll put in a link that explains the RLOD in detail. How to Repair YLOD Blinking RLOD On Your PS3
Pull the batteries out from the remote control, and leave it out until step-4
Press and release each and every button, one at a time on the remote control, until every button has been pressed and released at least once.
If the remote control have slide switches; move the switch to each position, then repeat the button pushing as in step-2. {When you've done, be sure to put the slide switch in the correct position to operate the unit the remote came with.}
Put the batteries back.
Try the remote.
