Hello all,
I was given a 40g PS3 that wont display video. I was hoping to resolve this issue by restoring the default settings in safe mode. I follow
these directions, but I never get the "double beep" that let's me know I am entering safe mode. I have read that safe mode was implemented in firmware version 2.6. It's possible that I have an early version of the firmware. I have downloaded v. 3.15 to my PC. Are there any guides for updating the firmware from a flash drive when you have no video? I have to imagine that it is a repeatable number of steps. Also, are their any pre 2.60 firmware steps for resetting video output?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
The video reset was present even in the launch firmware.
You may want to try a few times as the power button on some PS3s can we weird when doing the reset method.
