you will have to open it up and take apart the blu ray drive to manually eject the disk, OPENING YOUR PS3 VOIDS ANY REMAINIG WARRANTY YOU MAY HAVE, also be very careful with the ribbon cable on the bottom of the drive, the ZIF connectors are very fragile and break very easy

plug em in and with the playstation on standby hold the button down for 3-5 seconds

The WEP access key is created by the owner/installer of the WiFi account.So, you would need approval from the hotel's owner/manager to access their WiFi - they can provide you with the key.

i forgot my password what i can do?

Try disconnecting your PS3 and then for 10 seconds if that doesn't work, disconnect all jackets meaning all usb connection ports connected in it. Remove them, then turn on your ps3 see what happens (without using the controller), then disconnect the ps3 cord that connects to your extension cord or jacket and plug it back in. Try it again. Then again with the controller could try. Try disconnecting other ports such as other stuff like as listed, Irons,Fans, etc.           !!!!!!DON'T USE TOO MUCH POWER!!!!


The Same thing happened to me on my Wii though.



If nothing works call Customer Support (SONY)

I have had lot's of problems with generic controllers. My personal opinion is to take it back and get your money back, if you don't want to do that try going into the device manager and do a manual pairing.

Hi. Welcome to Fixya!
Blinking red light on your Playstation 3 may have happen because of misplaced cable connections or a malfunctioning hard drive or a non functioning hard drive. You can try to check your cable connections if all of them are connected properly. If it does, try reinstalling your hard drive.
You can reinstall your hard drive by removing the hard drive from the PS3. Dust off the connectors and gently put it back to your PS3. Try doing it for three times if it work.
If it does not work, you can bring it to a Sony service center and have them check the problem.
I hope this solves your problem regarding your console. Have a nice day!

Have you recently plugged the ps3 into another TV?

Try resetting the ps3 back to default.

1. Hold down the power button the ps3 system to turn it on and keep holding the button after the ps3 comes on
2. You should then hear another beep and the ps3 will reset both the audio and the video to default settings.

Hope this helps :)
