What I feared the most happened, I have problems with my PS3 : Not the YLOD, but the error 80010514. Apparently it's a corruption of game disc recognition and execution . I was playing LBP, and I went to eat something and when I came back, I saw that the screen was freezed on the screen saver of LBP (sackboy running trough the different backgrounds). So I had no choice but to turn the PS3 off. Then when I was back in the XMB and wanted to relaunch the game, I had an error message saying "an error occurred during the start operation (80010514)". The PS3 was working normally, the XMB too, but I just couldn't launch and enter a game anymore. I tried with 2 other games CD and it was the same. And after restarting the PS3, nothing changed and sometimes the game disc showed and sometimes not at all! I search in google and I found this : http://www.ps3blog.co.za/2008/04/10/ps3-error-80010514-explained/ After reading it, I tried something : When the system is in standby, I simply reset the PS3 by holding the power button till it beeps one time. It reset itself (HDMI settings to redo...). And there it worked! no problem, the game was recognizable again! But 1 day after, it happened again. It freezed exactly at the same moment (screensaver of LBP) I did like the day before, the simple reseting of the PS3, but it didn't work this time! So I tried to do what was said in the link above = Restore File System : Read the complete link first! 1. Start with having the system in standby (redlight is on) 2. Hold the power button down; the system will turn on and turn off once again. 3. Press and hold the power button again and keep holding, it will beep as it turns on and then it will double beep. When you hear the double beeps immediately take your finger off the power button (if your system turns off before you get a double beep just try again and hold the button, it should double beep the 2nd time you try) 4. You will be prompted to plug in your controller via USB and then hit the PS button You will now have a screen with these options (I have attached a picture of this screen below) 1. Restart System: Restarts the PLAYSTATION?3 System. 2. Restore Default Settings: Reset all system settings back to default. CHOOSE THIS ONE 3.Restore File System: Checks for corrupt/missing system files. 4. Rebuild Database: Rebuilds the OS for the PLAYSTATION?3. 5. Restore PS3 System: Fresh restore; Deletes everything and starts from Scratch. 6. System Update: Update the PLAYSTATION?3 System IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU DO NOT CHOOSE THE WRONG OPTION HERE OR YOU WILL LOSE ALL YOUR DATA. The one that fixed my blu-ray drive is option 3: RESTORE FILE SYSTEM And there, it worked again! the game disc was showing and I launched the game normally. So I don't know what is the real problem in my case and if it will happen again... I hope not cause it's really annoying! Hope this will help some people if it happens... It's not 100% guaranted to work or to solve the problem forever, but it helped me to at least access the game, and to be able to export and backup the last things I didn't. So I have saved everything on a USB drive (LBP profile/levels and all the PS3 harddrive content), so whatever happens now, I know that everything is in safe place (hopefully). For info, my PS3 is a 80 Go model, and it still under warranty (till April 2010), so I guess that even if my machine is still not dead, maybe it's better to fix/change it while it's still under warranty... Anyway, did anyone one else experienced this? (Sorry for the long post and the bad english)

How long do warranties last? I got my PS3 in December 2007

I was late, I bought mine in April 2009. So I have 1 month and half left! Anyway did you think you've had the same problem? Did you get the error message when you launched a game? I think you should try to just reset the PS3, by holding the power button till it beeps one time, and see what happens.

This isn't really the place to talk about ps3 system problems, but it was nice of you to post the problem and your solution. Maybe it'll help somebody. Hope your ps3 keeps working. My blu ray died in November and I had to pay $150 to Sony to fix it (they sent me a refurb). Luckily, though some game saves didn't make the transfer intact (they're locked to the system), lbp transferred over nicely, so I didn't lose any of my levels. Clap, I'm pretty sure the warranty is one year, so yours is probably expired.

I didn't get any error message at all. I turn it off and go somewhere, then come back home and turn it on. No disc icon. It just suddenly stopped reading discs. If I follow that procedure that you put a link up for (after backing up data) and still don't get a result, then I may have to replace my system. One other person on here suggested I back up my data to an external HDD, but I don't know how much they cost @Sehven: Figured as much

This isn't really the place to talk about ps3 system problems, but it was nice of you to post the problem and your solution. Thanks. I was not sure where to put this...:blush: If a moderator can move it to the right section (general gaming...?) I didn't get any error message at all. I turn it off and go somewhere, then come back home and turn it on. No disc icon. It just suddenly stopped reading discs. If I follow that procedure that you put a link up for (after backing up data) and still don't get a result, then I may have to replace my system. One other person on here suggested I back up my data to an external HDD, but I don't know how much they cost Well, after turning off/on the pS3, it happened that the disc icon didn't show on mine too... but it looks like it's the same problem. Did you try with a regular movie DVD? An external HDD don't costs much, it depends. But maybe a simple USB drive is enough...

Well, it wouldn't fit much in General Gaming, really. It could just as easily fit here as there, but whatev @dajdaj: My computer uses an external hard drive. Would that work?

I might be wrong. I haven't actually read the rules. Anyway, you don't necessarily need to back up everything on your ps3. Game data, downloaded demos, videos, and dlc (which is in the game data) can all be replaced relatively easily (it's time consuming re-downloading everything if you've got a lot of dlc, though: rock band took me like 4 hours all together). So if you've got a memory card, you can back up your save data (make sure you export your lbp profile and you might have to export the levels separately unless they're included in the profile: I don't know) and copy it to the mem card. I deleted pretty much everything on my ps3 except my savedata and lbp and rock band's gamedata and was able to back it up on a 16 gig (turned out the game data backup didn't help and I had to reinstall/redownload it all, so I could've gotten by with a much smaller card). You can use external hdd's but they have to be formatted correctly for ps3. I think it needs to be FAT16, but I might be wrong about that. If your external is available for re-formatting (mine wasn't: too much of my computer's data was on it and there wasn't enough room on the comp's internal hdd to move it all) then you can use it. You can try an experiment to see if your ps3 is even trying to read discs. Pop a disc in and pay attention to which direction it's facing (meaning the orientation of the label). After 20-30 seconds, eject it and see if the disc is in the exact same position it was when you inserted it. If it is, then the drive isn't even spinning the disc, which means it's basically dead. You could try ordering a replacement drive and fixing it yourself (NOT RECOMMENDED--if you try and fail, Sony will refuse to repair your system). When I was going through this and did my research there were some success stories that way, but there was at least one person who replaced the drive and continued to have the exact same problem with the new one. Your other option is to pay Sony the $150 to fix it. They will either repair it or they'll send you a refurb, but they'll make sure to send you the exact same model so you won't lose backwards compatibility if you have it (you will have to start over on some games, though, since their savedata is locked to the particular system). If you manage to get your disc drive working at all, I would immediately publish locked copies of all your levels-in-progress. Mine transferred over just fine, but it happened to be at the same time Mm changed the way lbp saves your profile, so it might've been a fluke. Best of luck to you. Having your ps3 break sucks. [EDIT] Just realized that I suggested exporting your profile and levels.... but you can't boot up the game, so never mind. Hopefully you've got a recent backup of your profile you can save. If not, then make sure you back up your lbp game data and hope that you can get your same ps3 back from Sony... assuming you send it to them to fix.

I take it your PS3 is an 80GB right? Doesn't really matter except I take it you have an 500GB external drive, just a guess. 1. Go into Settings/System Settings/System Information and find out how many GB's are being used by your PS3. 2a. On your computer, back-up all your files onto your computer from you external HDD and shrink the primary partition on your external HDD. (In this case it will either be NTFS, EXT # or, HFS+) 2b. IF it is FAT32 skip to step 4 3. Format an amount 5GB larger than the amount used on your PlayStation as FAT32. 4.Plug into PS3 and back it up! Also if you send back to sony ask them to do a data transfer as it copies over locked save too.

[EDIT] Just realized that I suggested exporting your profile and levels.... but you can't boot up the game, so never mind Exactly that's part of the problem, so that's why I curious to know if claptonfann and theswweet tried to reset their PS3 and if it works like for me! As I said, first just try to reset it by holding the power button till it beeps one time! (don't need to try the second method before this one) If the disc works, then you can enter the game, export your datas and save everything.

When my blu ray died, I tried all that resetting and stuff. Then I tried restoring system settings. Then I did a full back-to-factory wipe. None of it helped. Hope your luck is better than mine. But then, this was pre-leerdammer, so my whole profile was in the save data folder and I didn't lose any of it, so I guess my luck was pretty ok, except for the $150 (think it actually comes out closer to $160) I had to pay.

Its two different problems : - Or the blue ray died, and so it's a hardware problem, so both game discs and movie DVD/BluRay can not be read anymore. - Or it's a game disc recognition and execution problem, and here the error is not hardware related but is probably caused due to corruption of firmware. In that case, the drive will still play DVD and Blu Ray movies, but not the game disc.

I freaked out when I read this thread, but it turns out I have 80023017, not 80010514. Mine seems to just be PSN Store acting up.

I wonder how common this problem is. When I was talking to the Sony tech support people and I mentioned that it was a pretty common problem recently, they were quick to start throwing statistics at me about how many ps3's are out there and that the failure rate % is low comparatively. That means that it's at least common enough for them to have prepared a response when somebody says it's common. Also, the number of ps3's in existence wasn't particularly relevant to my question. If the problem is common, for example, among ps3's that are 1.5-2.5 years old (launch models and the first few waves after them) and the majority of ps3's that have been sold have been more recent (due to price cuts and stuff), then the overall percentage would be low even if it were a common problem. So, not only was it a pre-prepared statistic, but it's also a somewhat misleading one, whether deliberately or accidently. Has anybody had a problem with games only? When I was researching it, it seemed that the common problem was a complete failure of the disc drive. Games, blurays, dvd's, and cd's would all fail: the drive wouldn't even spin the discs. It would still be possible to have problems with blurays and games, but not dvd's and cd's (I'm assuming here that there are separate lasers). The ps2 had problems with its dvd laser more often than its cd laser. My old ps2 can still play music cds and ps1 games despite its dvd laser dying. I'm still not ruling about the corrupt firmware theory. There seems to be a spike in reports of disc drive failures shortly after every firmware release (though it's hard to really nail that down because firmwares come out so often that any failure is likely to be "shortly" after a firmware release). A corrupted driver (or whatever the ps3 equivalent is) could cause the disc drive to fail, and might explain why at least one person wasn't able to fix his problem with a new drive (or it could be hardware somewhere else in the ps3: supplying power to the drive, or the instruction to spin or whatever). In short, it could be pretty much anything, though the most likely culprit seems to be the drive itself. At any rate, the best solution (after trying the system restore and all that) is to send it to Sony for repair. It's expensive, but it's only half the price of a new ps3 and it's risk-free (you won't be burning any bridges like you would if you crack the case yourself and after repair, Sony gives you a 90 day warranty). Also, Sony is pretty quick with their turn-around. I got mine back about a week and a half after I shipped it.

If you manage to get your disc drive working at all, I would immediately publish locked copies of all your levels-in-progress. So if the external drive I use for my computer is FAT16 (or possibly FAT32), then I can transfer my PS3 data over? And I also followed your advice on seeing whether the disc is actually spinning. It isn't I may have to call up Sony and ask about a repair. I just wonder if they'll wipe the system clean or they'll leave the data on there when they fix the Blu-ray laser. Publish locked copies, absolutely *nod* That's probably my safest bet. Having the levels in my profile, on Mm's servers AND in my external hard drive will ensure the safety of my save data

I doubt you'll get your same ps3 back. When they send you the "coffin" (box to send the broken ps3 in) it includes instructions on deactivating the ps3 on your psn account, backing up all your data, and wiping all your data from the system. The shipped me a refurb the very next day after they received mine, which means they either immediately cracked it open and found there was nothing they could do, or they just didn't bother checking and just shipped a refurb right away. I was a little disappointed with that, but otherwise I was happy with the experience. The quick shipment meant I was back to playing games and watching blu rays in a relatively short amount of time.

When they send you the "coffin"...it includes instructions on...backing up all your data, and wiping all your data from the system. So even if I don't get the same system back, I'll be able to save all my data (profile, levels, objects, DLC)?

So even if I don't get the same system back, I'll be able to save all my data (profile, levels, objects, DLC)? I'm pretty sure you will. There were some issues where people would transfer lbp save data from one ps3 to another and the game would allow it, but wouldn't let you earn trophies because it thought you were using someone else's profile. For those who had that problem, Leerdammer seems to have fixed it (it converted the old save data into game data and it seems to have failed to check if it was copied from another ps3). Leerdammer came out while I was waiting for my ps3 to come back, so I don't know if that's why mine worked just fine, but I think you should be fine. At the worst, you may lose the ability to gain trophies. If that's a problem for you, throw all your objects into levels, publish them locked online, delete your profile and start from scratch. You'll have to re-earn everything in story mode but you'll be able to get trophies, and you'll be able to download your locked levels (they're locked to your psn, not your profile--but just in case, I'd keep a backup of the profile). As for any trophies you've acquired, if you sync your trophies with the psn (performed when you click X on your name on the far right column of the xmb where all your friends are) before you wipe your system, you'll get them all back on the new system by performing the sync again. You won't be able to transfer your dlc over, but don't worry about it. The playstation store keeps a record of everything you've purchased and you'll be able to re-download it on the new system. It'll take forever (like I said earlier, Rock Band took about 4 hours all together 'cuz I have tons of songs for it including the Lego Rock Band pack and the AC/DC pack) but you'll be able to get it all back. Again, you don't need a huge amount of space to do the system backup. I got by with a 16g memcard, but I could've gotten by with one or two gigs, 'cuz the game data I tried to backup didn't work. I transferred my videos, pictures, and music over to my computer a few files at a time and then cleared the card for the system backup. The backup works for save data, themes, and your friend list (that might actually be stored on the psn, not the backup: either way, mine was intact afterwards). I believe it doesn't backup your ps1 and ps2 memory cards, so you'll want to transfer them manually before doing the backup/wipe. So yeah, you don't have anything to panic about (except the $150-160 price tag: ouch!). Worst case: you'll have to start over on some games, but you won't lose your trophies, friend list, themes, dlc, etc. There's also a new transfer feature that was included in a recent firmware (also after I'd sent my system in) that's supposed to fix all your save data and transfer dlc and everything: it wipes it all from the original ps3 at the same time. I don't know if it does it as a straight networking connection between the systems or if it does it with an external hdd/memcard, but I'm guessing it's the network one. Still, I'd look into it before you do your backup, just in case it does let you store it on a hdd: if it does, you could avoid most of the headache of switching systems. [EDIT] By the way, if your latest exported profile isn't completely up to date, I would go ahead and try to include the lbp game data in your backup. It may not work, but it's worth a shot. I think I'm going to go update my profile backup now. ...........man, I really need to work on succinctness. I finish talking and then look back at my post to see a wall of text. A big wall.

Back it up using the system back-up utility in the settings menu. This will back-up everything except trophies because you have to sync them to the server. Then when you get your refurbished one back you plug n your external HDD and go to settings and select restore. Yes you probably will need more than 16GB, I know I don't have much on my PS3 and it uses 32 GB out of the 55GB available. Also your external must be below 4GB to be FAT16 which is okay but you won't fit everything. It should be FAT32 so you can perform a full back-up. I would ask Sony to perform a transfer before they wipe the data, this would be easiest and I am sure they would. If not take the current HDD out and pop in an old SATA if you have one lying around, doesn't matter which size as Sony lets you change it without voiding any warranties.

Well, this thread was not really about "backing up", but never mind... Claptonfann and theswweet : If nothing works, and that game discs, and also movie DVDs or blu-rays don't work, so it certainly a hardware problem of the disc drive. So yes better contact Sony, and try to back up the most you can! Sorry about that, I know it's very annoying... My PS3 is working fine for now. The error doesn't happened again, so I cross fingers!

Then when you get your refurbished one back you plug n your external HDD and go to settings and select restore. Yes you probably will need more than 16GB, I know I don't have much on my PS3 and it uses 32 GB out of the 55GB available. That works if you have the space, but as I said, the game data won't make it through the transfer (the new ps3 rejects it--I assume that backing up game data works fine if you restore the backup to the same system, though). Since I was limited to a 16g card (my external hdd was already being used and I didn't want to buy another one) I transferred all my vids and pics separately, deleted most of the game data (it's all just dlc and stuff installed from game discs so I wasn't losing anything) and managed to get it all down to <16g so I could use the system backup. Since none of my game data made the transfer, though, I could've deleted all of it and used the system backup with a 1g card. I'm also not positive about ps1/ps2 mem cards, but I read somewhere that the sys backup doesn't include them, so I made separate backups for them. I would ask Sony to perform a transfer before they wipe the data, this would be easiest and I am sure they would. If not take the current HDD out and pop in an old SATA if you have one lying around, doesn't matter which size as Sony lets you change it without voiding any warranties. Certainly ask, but don't assume that just cuz some tech support rep on the phone says they'll do it that they actually will. The guy I talked to assured me that I would almost certainly get my same ps3 back right after he told me that this isn't a "common" problem. So even if they agree, make a backup anyway. Also, they specifically give you instructions to wipe all data before you send it in (probably a privacy protection legal thing) so I dunno'. As for the hdd swap idea, I haven't tried it but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't work. I'm betting the system will happily accept the hdd and any unlocked data (videos and stuff) but will treat game data and save data the same as if it were copied over (I'm thinking it's keyed to the system, not the hdd). It may even force you to reformat it from scratch, so if you try this method you'll still want to make a backup before-hand. Well, this thread was not really about "backing up", but never mind... Sorry. The topic of conversation kinda' migrated to what to do about the broken ps3 and I wanted to be helpful. I could've made the transition a bit more smoothly if I'd known ahead of time what to expect. Glad to hear that your ps3 is working now. If you're not already, I would start making frequent profile backups just in case. Hope your luck holds out.

Ok, seems like my problem is becoming worse ! The game freeze at any moment now! When I load a level, when I quit a level, on the LBP intro or screensaver, when I quit Create mode,.... it's completely random! And when I restart the PS3 after that, or the game disc doesn't show in the XMB, or it appears but there's this **** 80010514 error occuring at the launch... I keep tryin to reset the PS3, or restore the file system (even the database), or restore default dettings, but it doesn't seem to resolve the problem completely . Sometimes it works so I can access the game and play, and sometimes not... I also find out that after doing those reseting, if I turn off the PS3 with the back power off button and I let the PS3 rest a little, then turn it ON, it works !..... but this till the next time the game freeze, and then I must do this all again! It's so annoying and frustrating! I really don't know what's the problem, corrupted files or something in the system or a hardware or disc drive problem...? What is strange is that it's completely random, sometime working, sometimes not,... I guess I have no choice but to send it to Sony before the warranty ends! Did anyone had this kind of problem? I was thinking to try to restore the PS3 System so that it deletes everything and starts from scratch, then copy back all my save data and see if it changes something. Do you think it's a good idea?

It sounds like a hardware problem. Since it seems to happen randomly and the ps3 needs to cool down for a while, I would guess it's heat related (pretty sure that heat is the ps3's big weakness). Since you're still under warrantee, I'd definitely send it in. If you weren't, and you didn't want to pay to fix/replace it, I would suggest keeping the system cool and well ventilated (that's good advice anyway: even when you get it fixed).

Thanks. Yes I know about the heat problem, that's why my PS3 is always well ventilated, and I never noticed it to be hotter than normal... I found this concerning this error : 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. Don't know... anyway, only Sony will fix this I guess.

Were you able to get all your data backed up? (you might've already said, but I can't remember). Hope so. At any rate, good luck: hope it all gets worked out with a minimum hassle.

Yes I saved all my datas (profil and levels) twice on 2 different usb drive, and made a copy on my computer... BTW, I was wondering, if i have to change my PS3 and copy back all my stuff on a new one : I know that saving your LBP profil will save your progression in the game (story level), the items, levels etc... But does it also save the progression and the items of the DLC levels (POTC/MGS) too? Edit : I've got the answer... it's yes

And you telling me I never saw this thread before??? OMG! My PS3 has this exact same problem and I'm just about to call SONY for getting it repaired... It won't read any of the discs I put in it.

Oh sorry to hear that! Well you can try the reseting method I explained in the first post. If it works, it could help if you need to save and back up some stuff you didn't. But that will not resolve the problem unfortunately... Mine was not working for the last 4 days, but today I turn it on, just to check and the game worked so I was able to play a little... Anyway I must send it to Sony too.....

The great problem is that this thing doesn't seem to work on new slim PS3, but I'll try again...
