Toomey Banshee Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 My son has a PS3 that stopped working. We bought a new one over the weekend and want to transfer the data from one machine to the other. Has anyone done this? Is it hard to do? I downloaded something from the playstation site and really looks like a pain in the arse. Thanks Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glamis321 Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 http://manuals.playstation.net/document/en/ps3/current/settings/transferutility.html all you need is an ethernet cable to connect them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
So Cal Suspension Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 I believe since the one machine isn't working, you're going to have to remove the hard drive and install it as a secondary on a PC and copy the data, switch HD's, then paste it into the second hard drive. There might be a downloadable utility to help do it, but I think it's going to physically involve removing the hard drives. If both machines worked and turned on, you could use the method that glamis321 posted, but you're working with a single working one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATVridinMaNiAc Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Usually when PS3s take a shit its the blueray drive that gos bad which is fairly easy to replace and not expensive, does it show a yellow light when it turns on? that could be the yellow light of death, kinda like xboxs red light, just something to look into.
