The PS3 Black screen is a phenomenon noted by the epic nothingness that appears on the users screen. Before you try any drastic measures, such as freaking out and calling Sony to send in your PS3, try these simple steps first to fix the PS3 black screen.
Tips to Fix the PS3 Black Screen
1) Try turning it off and on again- Put the system in standby (when it shows the solid red light) then filp the switch at the back, or if it is a slim, put it in standby then unplug it. Leave it for a 5 minutes then plug it in and turn it on. 2) If that doesn’t work, check the cables:
Check for loose cables, if you find any put them back in.
Check to see if your video cable matches the video setting on the PS3, eg if the video setting is HDMI then make sure you are using a HDMI cable.
Use another cable to connect the PS3 to the TV. It could be that your cable is defective
3) If you are still getting the black screen, you can try resetting your PS3:
Put the PS3 in standby mode (when it shows the solid red light)
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds until you hear the 3 beeps
4) If none of these things fix your PS3, maybe it’s your TV, could be a problem with the TV’s settings etc. Try using your PS3 on another TV. Just make sure that you change the videos settings to those compatible to the TV you will be testing on.
Sadly if you are so unlucky that none of these things fix your PS3 then you have a more serious problem. So what can you do about it?
Well you are basically left with 2 options: send it to Sony, or get a good PS3 repair guide and repair it yourself.
If you send it to Sony, you will be charged around $150 (unless your PS3 is still under warranty), that’s half the price of a new slim! Also you will have to wait 4-6 weeks to get your PS3 back. I would only recommend this option to those who’s PS3s are still under warranty; if you open the PS3 you will void the warranty.
The cheapest and fastest way to fix the PS3 black screen is to get a good step by step PS3 repair guide and fix it yourself.
If forking out half the cost of a new PS3 and waiting 4-6 weeks isn’t for you, then you need to get a good PS3 repair guide and fix the PS3 black screen it yourself. Want to see the top 4 PS3 repair guides? Click here!
1. Find a team with lots of speed and choose them. Historically, teams with lots of speed have always been the teams that most gamers choose. With the new acceleration rating actually relevant and meaningful this year, you may want to find players who have good speed as well as good acceleration. Players like Tennessee Titan’s running back Chris Johnson are ideal. Speed is important at every position but most importantly running back, wide receiver and cornerback. If you are lucky enough to have a mobile quarterback on your team, that is an added bonus.
2. Defense, Defense, Defense. The key to winning at high levels in Madden 11 will be defense. If you can control the ball and play good defense, you will win 90% of your online games. Learn some max coverage defenses as well as some great blitzes. Have a few man defenses and zone defenses that you mix up in order to keep your opponent on his toes. The key to a good defense is deception. Whether you are blitzing 8 guys or only blitzing 3, you want to make it look the same. You want to hide whether you are in a man defense or a zone defense because revealing that information will give your opponent a distinct advantage. That brings us to our next point of emphasis…
3. Read your opponent’s defense. The key to a good Madden 11 offense is to know what defense the opposition has called. Peyton Manning is so good in the NFL because he generally knows what defense the other team is in just by looking at them. A trick for telling if your opponent is in man or zone is to motion a wide receiver from one side to the other. If the defender follows him all the way to the other side, you know that the defense is in man-to-man defense. If the defender follows him a little of the way then stops, you know that our opponent is in zone defense. You should practice plays in Madden 11 that work against zone 100% of the time and do the same thing for man-to-man defense.
4. Control the game. If you win the opening coin toss, you should choose to kickoff first. Madden 11 will have shorter games than previous years. It is more this year than ever before to put yourself in a situation where you score right before halftime and exactly at the end of games. This limits the chances your opponent has to get the ball and will usually give you two more touchdowns than the other team. Sometimes it is best to wait a little while before you decide to score so that you can run some more time off the clock and get the game closer to halftime or the end of the game.
5. Choose a good team. This may sound like a no-brainer but it is very hard to compete against dominant teams in Madden 2011 with a team that has no good players. Choose a team with high ratings and good players and you will start the game with an advantage. Make sure that they have a good defense as well as a good offense. One dimensional teams are hard to play with. Teams like the Titans, Colts, Jets, Chargers, Saints, and Vikings are a few good Madden 11 teams.
