PS3 Problem - Help Please!

[MACADEMIC]

On one PS3 1st Generation with 60GB HD, BOP crashes and the PS3 goes back to home screen when trying to select and confirm either 'Custom' or 'Custom-PC' from Layouts (Path: Main Menu/Profile/Options/Controls/Layouts).

It's the first time we've come across this problem, which prevents customizing the PS3 controller.

What could be the problem? Does anyone have a fix?

Many thanks,

MAC

i dont want to alarm you mac but that sounds like the stuff my 1st gen 60gb was doing before i got the YLOD. i would be playing in a game then all of a sudden it would totally reset and go back to the home screne and play for about 30-40 mins then do it again

Hi Brigg, it's not my PS3, it's Olife's. What is the YLOD, and how did you fix this problem?

the YLOD is the yellow light of death it is sonys version of the red ring of death and you can fix it yourself but it can keep coming back and with the phantom day bs happening a few weeks earlier i decided to ebay the phat and get a slim

I suggest getting him to buy another one, transfer the data accross and flog the old one. It's only going to get worse from here on in. I had the YLOD too..

Olife needs to save his BoP data asap
