Hi Guys, well I have been stumped on this pesty problem with my brothers PS3 and I wonder if you could help.
All in all we have a PS3 in the house that we brought off ebay (I know there was our first mistake). We got it a few days ago but it has a weird bluray problem. We can put a bluray game into it and it will appear on the XMB but when we try to play it, it will either go blackscreen for a few seconds and then exit back to XMB or it will come up with the 80010017 error.
I read that usually this is caused by a tired out drive lens etc, so I brought a new one. Put it in, put it all back together and tried again. Still got the same problem!! >:-(
I thought this was weird so I got the old YLOD PS3 CECHG out and just done the "cr@Pola" fix involving 2 copper shims etc, managed to get it working and I tried the drive in it swapping the drive boards of course. I found that it could read the disc and play it also (until the fan goes nutz and then get the old "shutting down the ps3 because its getting to hot message"). I also tried the original drive too and found it still played games!
I got to thinking maybe its the drive board of the new PS3 that maybe faulty but I installed some PSN games on it, they work no problem. I read that they may not work if a bluray game is inserted in the drive but I tried that and they still do work.
I then read it maybe a firmware issue, so I have tried formatting the HDD, replacing it, Re-doing the firmware update, using Safe Mode to do a restore & the Activation/Deactivation on Account Settings supposed fix and it stills the same.
Have any of you guys experienced the same kind of issues? Any suggestions or Any ideas would be most welcome because I'm all out of ideas now and getting rather narked off with it.
I think i will buy another PS3 (or may just get an Xbox - as I know how to fix them) after Christmas but I would like to get this working as a backup just incase.
Many thanks
