So, fixing my mates PS3 for him and getting this error, 'Cannot Start The Appropriate system storage was not found.' I've tried 3 hard drives in it, same error and opened it up, the sata connector seems fine. The PS3 has never has CFW. Any ideas?
My first guess would have been to say check the connection to make sure everything is connected properly, but since you say that has already been checked you may have to send it in for service Edit: Tried connecting in safe mode?
That's odd. Had a similar issue about a year back and did safe mode and just restored the file system. get the three beeps an everything?
