PS3 ERROR, WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

CrixxzeH · 2 Jul 2011 at 22:57

hey people,
I have had 3 ps3's this weekend, 2 that have broken.. component fualts... they're all in warrenty, and today I got my THIRD ps3, witch was a ps3 slim.
anyway, I got home and plugged my ps3 in, and put black ops in... and i get a error message '80010514' and says I have to clean my disk or something..yet it's loaded up a thew times and crashed. thing is, I was playing the verry same black ops disk in my other ps3 platnum and it was working perfect in both 80gb platinum ps3's.

so..what would you do? I have a ps3 that dosent even play my favourite game and plays some other that I'v tested.. go to the place wher it's under warrenty and demand a refund, since this is the 3'rd ps3?

please, give me some information back on what I should do.. :/.
cheers overclockers.

If it's under warranty just take it back to where you got it and state your claim, it's simple really.

And anyway, what the hell is an 80GB Platinum PS3?

platinum is the chunky, the slim is obviously the slimmer version.

It was a special box version of the phat PS3's

NO.. just an error message that dosent let me plat Black Ops but some other game..the game deffinatly works, consoles updated to latest firmware.

Incase you haven't googled the error, heres 1 kinda explaination I found

The error code is actually one of two things, a) a faulty sector on the internal hard drive, or b) a faulty installation of software/firmware, both iterations actually coincide with eachother. If the hard drive suffers a faulty sector ( a section of damaged space on the drive that data may have been written to that no longer is readable), an installation may still be processed, and even work, but the error can cause some serious side effects, such as option b. If your PS3 has installed an item incorrectly, including firmware, it is in high risk of receiving this error.

There is 1 thing you can try first, it takes a few hours but I don't think I can link other forums on OcUK
