How do I fix error code 80710b36 on PS3

I've seen this error code going around for the older PS3's. From what I can gather, it's a HDD issue that can't be cured easily. Here are the steps to take that I found, that seem to work for all PS3 systems.

• take out the hard drive
• connect hard drive to pc (running windows 7 64bit, but any windows os should work without other software)
• open up disk management - in win7 it asked me to make a master boot record, so I did.
• format in NTSF - that's right, NTSF - don't use quick format
• shut down pc, take out hd, take usb drive too
• put hd back in ps3, put usb stick in ps3
• boot ps3
• a screen will pop-up saying the hard disk have to be formatted
• hold start + Select for 5 sec.
• After formatting the system will restart and the update will start installing
• configure your ps3 setup - done
• Remember to get the latest firmware from SONY onto the USB drive.

This is another problem that is fairly common and it is all down to the overheating problem but this time it is the GPU which deals with the graphics that has taken all of the heat.

Hi,

Don't worry. There is a huge problem occurring right across the board at this very moment with the PSN Network. Some consoles are not synchronising properly due to an internal clock error causing problems exactly like you describe. It seems that your console is one of these effected whilst your roomate's is not.

It is expected that Sony will soon have this resolved and they are currently working on a fix.

For a full breakdown please look at this FixYa Tip.

System file or data coruption is innevitable. If it is preventing you to make your PS3 work, you'll need to get rid of that corrupted file. To do that you have to format your hardrive, if it won't work try to do a system restore.

try to format it first ok, choose the custom format->FULL system format it will take 2-3 hours so dont panic, just format it, now if it doesn't work just go to the nearest PC store and buy ur self a brand new laptop hard disk with any size u want and replace it with the old one, but format FIRST okkkkk
