Did 1.90 break my PS3?

[blakjedi]

I was rolling pretty smooth with my PS3 since April. Access to PSN, fine, Downloading games... easy, PS Store - terrific, web access - no problem. Then I decided to install the new 1.90 firmware... BAM no PSN access. I keep getting this message "Error code 8001050F - You have been signed out of the Playstation network." But I never signed in...

I can use the web browser just fine. After a system reset which made me lose all my downloaded games etc to date, I was able to download the folding at home client but still cant sign in to the PS Store. Whats funny is that when tried to login before the reset it forced me to create a new password for my account... but I just used the same password as before anyway... and it STILL wont work...

Now I have a PS3 with no access to the PSN and no downloaded games some of which I paid for (FLOW, SSHD). Anyone else experience this?

I had a problem briefly when I upgraded, I don't think it works that well when wireless any more.

Best bet is to phone Sony support, they aren't very busy they'll be grateful for your call

I tried every way to call those fools! they wont answer the phone though... And yes I'm wireless if it wont work wirelessly... then I dont want the box... Im not running wire for a frickin PLAYSTATION! lol

Maybe they've all been made redundant

Mine works now as I said, I "wired" it up to make sure it worked, then setup the wireless connection again from scratch and it's been OK since then.

That's very odd. Did you try to use the hard power reset ? (Not the touch sensitive one, the one behind).

They always answer the phone lmao. Must be hours you are calling. Sony has excellent customer support.

If your in the U.S. Sonys Customer Care # is 1-800-356-7669.

Just read that FW 1.92 is online, apparently. No idea yet what it does, but I guess we'll find out soon.

From what I've been reading over at the PS forums, it appears that this issue has been amplified quite significantly with the 1.92 firmware...expect 1.93 very soon IMO.

What issue ?

 

[Jaeyden]

People being unable to sign in to PSN and signing out unexpectedly if they are signed in.

 

[blakjedi]
