Yea, for some reason I've been having trouble with this thing.
Soon as I get a job, I'll be buying a new one.
Anyways, for now I want to get it to work.
So this is what happens, and multiple things do:
First option:
I power on
Logo comes up (Even when disabled via menu)
Sony background comes up, not mine
It stays like that until I pull the battery/plug, I can't turn it off via switch.
•Power-saving options still work. Backlight will dim after 5 minutes or so.
•Pressing any button gets it out of dimmed backlight
•Other then that, no buttons respond.
Second option:
I power on
Logo comes up (Even when disabled via menu)
UMD drive spins and clicks
My background comes up
Popup: Cannot read disk
Everything works.
•Happens once in a blue moon
Third option:
I power on
Logo does NOT come up
Background comes up
Everything works except for games, which freeze at the sony logo.
•Once in a blue moon, games will work
•Does not read disks
•Happens most often, but still pisses me off.
I've tried replacing the UMD drive, but that doesn't do diddly. Since I've done that, options two and three are becoming more and more rare.
Any ideas on what's causing this? I can't update it, every time I do it goes up to 99%, then slowly back down to 95%, then slowly back up to 99%.
I'm currently on 3.71MM-3, tried updating to 3.80, and 3.90.
Thanks for the help,
