Hello there Hax forum,
I had a question and i hope im right here.
I recently bought a used ps3 60gb model (CECHC03). The previous owner messed around with the blu ray drive, and switched the mainboard/motherboard with another blu ray drive from another ps3. Since it was really cheap i decided to buy and use it as a mediaplayer and maybe now and then play a few games i still had from the PSN store.
So i tried opening the PSN store, and it said that it had to download PSN store. I thought that was strange but ohwell i downloaded it. Havent been on a ps3 for several months so maybe this was an update or something i thought. After downloading it i tried to open the PSN store but it went black and the ps3 just froze! I restarted the ps3 and tried again and it did the same thing over and over. I tried using different cables and that didnt work either, HDMI or AV.
Then i went to my account management, and went into like a history of my PSN downloads. (Cant remember what the options was) I then downloaded LBP1 because that was the game we all got free. After downloading LBP1 i tried starting it but it gave me a black screen and froze too!
So then i tried my girlfriend's account and strangely going in the PSN store was no problem. I checked my account settings and everything was fine. What i did then was use the "format and reset into factory settings" option. After that i tried again but still no luck, now my girlfriend's psn store doesnt even open up.
It still boots up and goes to the XMB, i can still go online and talk with friends, i can still make/open the picture collage program but nothing else!
So my question is, does anybody know what the problem is? Is it the faulty blu ray drive? Is it because its not married? Should i just remove the whole drive out of the ps3? Who can help me?
