Ps3 wont play games screen goes black

Well, as it seems the game is in p and not properly set to fill the screen - either by your TV set or the console. Have a look at the back of the game's disc case, there should be an info box indicating what resolution the game supports or is design in, usually, with the above problem, it's in p.

Check the scaling settings of your TV. Go to settings and make sure your TV is not set to a "fixed aspect ratio"-like setting, not to something like "always display in p or i ", something like that. So Remove the checks on all resolutions that your TV doesn't support. The reason he's having you check Blu ray disc is because of two reasons: 1. If game won't load at all or read then we know its bd-drive or controller 2. If that's the case, then the first step is to check connections.

If they are fine, reseat them anyways, just to be sure. If that doesn't fix the situation there are noBD firmwares available if you are on cfw.

Idr the process but there is a way to remarry the bd-drive controller if you need to replace it. TonyClifton likes this. So i have determined its not the drive as I disconnect the BD Drive completely from the PS3 and try opening Netflix and the problem still persists, even with games that I downloaded from the Store.

Have you checked the BD drives connection, nothing will boot with a faulty BD Drive, you need to open the PS3 and first check the connection, make sure they are all seated firmly and correctly.

Depending on the model, the controller is inside the drive assembly, and nothing will launch without a solid connection to that logic board. Nobody told you to disconnect the drive, so i'm stunned as to how this magic solution appeared. Obviously, it solved nothing, and actually didn't prove anything, so it was extra work, you've just done, because With the drive attached, you were told to insert an official game disc and verify its function.

I further explained WHY this was being done. If you can't follow simple advice, you can just throw your console in the trash and be done with it. If you choose to get help, listen to that help and don't go on wild tangents. You are asking for advice because you don't know, so don't pretend you do. It's only going to cause more problems.

Worked a treat for me. Even did the "restore file system" which is meant to format the hdd but all my stuff was still on it. Please enable JavaScript to watch this video. Subscribe Now. Thank you!
