I guess I am one of the unlucky one’s. I had tech support on without knowing what was going on with everyone else. They had me reboot the system in safe mode and reformat. Well that was the end of my fatboy. Some how doing that with the date problem bricked the system and now nothing but a blank sceen appears. They did offer me a new system however for 119.00 plus 29.00 s/h. Nothing more I can do but accept and chalk it up.

Resolved at midnight bloody wierd! Sony didn’t need to do a thing however it looks like they will disable their clock sync functions in 4 years to stop the same crap!

Why did this only affect the fat PS3s?
Does anyone understand what happened?

I tried the fix listed below and it worked perfectly!!

It did take me two hours start to finish though.

Also, my battery was located at a different spot on the board, and did not have a green enclosure like the one shown on the link below. Once I found it and took it out it did fix things though.

Thanks,

John

Here is the instructions on how to fix this yourself. 24 hours later, I was sick of waiting for Sony.
