The other day my playstation went really slow, started to jerk and crashed...then the red standby light flashed and once pressing the on button returns the flashing light to just staying red (standby) then once i press the red button again it turns on, slows down and crashes and then turns off and repeats the flahsing red light.
after reading the manual it says that if this occurs then the system has overheated, however after i left the system off all night then tried to go on it again it repeated the problem, after phoning Sony they said that i'd have to send in my styem and they would basicaly make everything inside pretty much new with a new freash HDD.....problem is im not too bothered about getting my system repaired, it's the DATA i need, it has years of saves, all my music ect.. on it, now i know my trophies are fine a their saved on the server and can be gained back by re-entering my details on the new HDD...
after taking it into a repairs shop they have said that its issue is not it is keep overheating but that it has already overheated too much (no idea how it's well ventilated and i take great care, unless dust may have clogged the fan from working) that the solder has melted onto the chip and causes problems...
Sony claim that because i have to send the original HDD in with the system i wont be able to retrieve my data it'll have to be wiped because each HDD is assigned to it's PS3 (which is why you have to re-format a HDD when putting it into a different PS3)...
i dont want my years of data to go, the worst thing is none of it is backed up but i was going to back it all up that say on my 500GB external...
what im asking you guys is, IS THERE ANY WAY I CAN GET MY DATA OFF THE PS3'S HDD WITHOUT IT HAVING TO BE BACKED UP FROM THE PS3......
i have heard talk that placing the HDD into a usb external HDD device that enables it to go into a PC with the software of a ps3 emulator, will enable the pc to read the ps3 data on my HDD.
im soo worried that i'll end up losing all my stuff! (which is prob why they're tons of spelling errors and bad grammar ect, cos im typing fast and panic-like)
please help, i'll make it clear now what i need
*deep breath*
Because my PS3 wont stay on longer enough to copy data from my ps3 to my external
I need some OTHER way to copy the data without my ps3 having to be turned on.
(i have tried using my brother ps3 but i need to reformat the HDD it says when i put it in his ps3)
help will be MUCH!!! appreciated, thank you for reading it all and being so patient with me, thanks.
