    PS3 Update 2.53 Issue - Can't get online - Help!

    I'm having a real headache trying to download the latest update V2.53.

    I was on the PSN no problem before I started the update, it stopped at 2% and then came up with a connection error. I now can't connect at all to the PSN or Store, yet if I check my network settings on the XMB it says it's connected.

    It just comes up with the error now each time I try and download the update.

    I've tried the following:

    1) Opening ports on my router
    2) Downloading the update direct to a USB stick (The page where you download it from won't even open for me)


    No problems at all before this damn update, any ideas?

    Sorry to hear..

    Just to confirm, the 2% is at the stage of downloading rather than installing?

    If it was the latter then might make more sense, but strange if the 2% attempt in downloading would cause this.
    Are you on wireless or hard-wired Ethernet?

    You cant get on PSN or the store, but have you tried the web browser? This will conclude if you are down (totally) in regard to your network component of the PS3 (what ever the xmb says)


    Things off the top of my head which you may of tried..

    Re-set up your network settings on the PS3. Will confirm that you are resetting everything so loses all previous network settings. Re add it (no matter if you hardcode IP or just dhcp) via wireless/Ethernet etc

    Spose you rebooted etc as well, and done the (hold the start button down for 5 seconds until you hear the beep reset)

    Best of luck with it.

    Thanks for that.

    I eventually managed to download the update onto a memory stick and update it from there. Had to use someone else's PC though. What a game!
