(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Ight so I had this problem before and it well sorta broke my PS3 but anyways so last night I was wanting to update to 4.78.1 Rex and after I did everything n went to the update thingy it showed the update on my usb but it was grayed out n when I tried downloading it it would just restart my system I also tried it in recovery mode I'm on 4.75 DEX

Wait nvm it says 4.78 DEX not 4.75

Do you still need help?

Yes just one last question and I'll be good so when I'm in a game and go to press the ps button on my controller nothing happens (I've tried several controllers) how do I fix???

Does it work when you turn on your PS3 from the controller? If not , then I'm not sure if I can help , because I never had this problem!

True! It could be something dealing with that CFW! You can give this a try if you want to see if it works or not! Good luck!

You can try to boot your console in to recovery mode and select options "restore file system" and "rebuild database"

These options will not remove anything and will attempt to fix any errors that the ps3 may be having.

If you are talking about it just won't load up or is lagging so won't load while in a game, then that is typical sometimes. Can be a sign of a full hdd and/or other things..
I've also heard this a few times from people on 4.78 cfw, perhaps it is not 100% stable firmware, being the latest and all...

Well see I also had this on 4.75 sooooo

nah didn't work:/ oh well

Has this concluded your questions? or are you still looking for the answer of the new question?

It could be a software or setting doing it, but unlikely since that would have been ruled out when you reinstalled your cfw. You could try reinstalling any homebrew you use in hopes that all those settings are defaulted as well..

If bad comes to worst, you could try to reformat your hdd and see if it helps. Even after formatting, the hdd could just be worn and need to be replaced with a better working unit, which could be why you are seeing lag and not a crash or malfunction, but it could be worth a try..

Other than that I am pretty much out of ideas man.

Best of luck to you!
