Well ill try connecting it to tv through the scart tommorow and update this thread with the result!!! The same dvds im trying to play didnt work when i first got my ps3, and then all of a sudden they were working and now they are not, im really 50/50 at the moment wether its my tv or my ps3!!! It's been just under a year since the last update went live, and today Sony pushed a PS3 System Software 4.83 update which likely 'improves the quality of the system performance' similar to their last OFW revision meaning DO NOT UPDATE if you want to use PS3 Custom Firmware (CFW), downgrading, homebrew, Webkit exploits, etc.
Yes it is possible.follow this guide for removal and instillation. After the drive is removed if you have a computer with an extra sata power connector and data cable you can power down your system plug it in and boot your system. You can also use an extra external enclosure if you have one. Now this is the tricky part.if the hdd is a 32gb or smaller you can use windows to format it (FAT32).if it is larger than 32gb us this program use version 2.43 (i have never used it but it was recomended on a forum).after you reinstall the hdd it should be a simple follow the instructions on screen.make sure you have a jump drive fromated fat32 as well with the latest ps3 update that you can download herei hope this helpsGood Luck,Cody. I fixed my nephews PS3 that had a similar problem, as soon as you turned it on it would go straight into the update only to hang about half way into updating and give an error code. There was also another person on here with the same problem and I told them how I got around this problem.

You do not need to reformat the drive or loose any of your data or connect it to a computer. Check out the post here:All I did to get rid of the error was to remove the HDD then turn on the PS3 'WITHOUT' the HDD then when you get the 'missing hard drive error code' insert the HDD. Then turn off the PS3, then turn the PS3 back on and be patient just let the update run. I do not know why or how this worked but it worked for me.
The hard drive cover on the left side take it off remove blue screw pull tab and out comes the hard drive i had a problem like that with mine i downloaded a program called miniaide fat32 formatter and i hooked my hard drive up to my computer and formated it and wipe it with the program and it will say unallocated space and the i put it in my ps3 entered safe mode and sytem updated didnt freeze like normal and it worked after trying hundred of trial and error of other things fixed my problem hopefully can fix yours.
