Ps3 update error

[Duke]

So, a few days ago I decided to get Netflix & decided to get it through my ps3. The console required an update & so it´s doing it´s thing.....after about 1-2 minutes I get an error message & the update doesn´t load & the console just freezes & gives me a message to turn off my system, wait a couple of minutes, then restart..........I do so, same results.......grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr


My damn console was working perfectly fine before I decided to download anything into it....now it´s just sitting there!!!

What model PS3 is it? There's a possibility you might need to get into the safe mode and try a couple of the options to fix your problem, or your hard drive might be problematic. Can you turn the system on and get into the normal XMB screen?

The one I have is the so called "fat" model. I´ve tried accessing safe mode, but to no avail. It just turns on & goes back to trying to "update", then it stops at around 80%, then says error occured, gives me an error code & contact Sony customer service.

Hmm, you can't even enter safe mode?

That's really weird. What's the error code?

I´ve got it written down at home, but right now I´m at work......however I believe this is it: 8002F147

The search gives varying results, there are a few people who post solutions but they're specific to the problem occurring in a particular way. It seems to be a laborious process for some of the fixes, good luck man
