I bought a 80gb ps3 today and played around with it for a few hours and tried getting my wireless to work. When I was done I turned it off with the power switch at the back while i was in the interface. Later when I turned it back on I got no visuals or audio and all 4 of my controllers led lighters were blinking and I couldn't do anything. How can I fix this and get back into the system?
It's chargeing and when your not using the PS3 you can charge the controller via any USB port. I would never turn the main power switch off anyway. I really never turn my system off anyway because when it's not being used I leave it folding, I set my system up to where if I forget it will start folding after a while of not being used.
My screen stays black and it doesn't say charging and I dont see a sign on screen appear. It was working earlier this morning but now I get the black screen with the charging lights again.. and this time I didnt even power my system down. How do I get my PS3 to do anything when this happens? I pressed the PS button and the controller lights start flashing and nothing happens. I tried shutting the system down, turning it on with the usb cables connected to my controller and still no visuals. I press the PS button and the lights start flashing again. Any help would be appreciated!
if your not getting any video or audio check the audio/video wire in the back of your playstation. this problem happened a lot with my ps2 and happens occasionally with my ps3 so your controller might be charging you just can see it
PS: it isnt good to flip the switch in the back if the system isnt off
It seems to be working now, maybe it was because i flipped the switch. I dont think it was charging because the lights were blinking a lot more rapidly than it normally does when its charging. So lesson learned.. Im never turning off my PS3 lol.
I never turn my system off. But the fact that the main power switch is a full mechanical switch everytime it's used there is always a chance of something happening to the switch.

I have the same problem even when i reset the controller and all that it still just flashes when it's not plugged in through a USB it's frustrating cause i have the ps3 slim which only has 2 usb slots and i have 4 controllers so when playing with friends it gets annoying.
Guess i'll have to waste money on those media hub things it's a shame
