    Unfortunately I can't as the router is in one of my housemates rooms although I think I've fixed it by simply resetting the router.

    He mustn't have bothered resetting it when I asked him earlier in the week.

    Thanks though. I'll know for sure after tonight.

    Hi everyone, don't know if there is already an answer to this. But here goes, I have some vids on my Win8.1 machine that I would like to share to my PS3 so I can watch them on a big screen. I know I can just copy them to a USB stick but I want to try and use Win8.1 sharing media options and PS3 media server thingy.

    The problem is I have done everything I can think of to share to devices on Win8.1 but the PS3 never pops up as a device to share to.

    Anyone successfully shared media on Win8.1 to their PS3?

    Thanks

    The other way around. Yer Win8.1 Media Player should pop up on your PS3. If so, then you MIGHT have to go to your Lappy and authorise it. Have you configured Media Sharing on your lappy. You just turn it on, generally, to all devices on your network.

    Is your PS3 Wired or wireless?
    Is your laptop Wired or wireless?
    What NAT Type on your PS3? It should be NAT 2. Contrary to popular belief 99% of people don't need NAT 1. If NAT 1, it will never work.

    If both are wired, happy days.
    If one is wired, it should be OK.
    If both are wired [assuming same frequency- eg 2.4GHz], then a big no no. Just asking for trouble.

    Think my ps3 has officially went to the other side, wont turn on now, for one second shows a yellow light then a blinking red light.
    Do you think its fixable?
    I took the ps3 apart a month ago and gave it a good clean.

    Id say a fix of indeterminate length :)
    I dont think it would be permanent certainly, if it happens again I plan on trading it in after i fix it again.

    It's a short term fix , if anything you are making it harder to do the proper reball fix later !!

    Reball, reflow are new terms to me, Can these be done by DIY?
    Im not sure should I try and fix my PS3 or not, I wouldn't get it repaired or anything ,but if I can do it myself il give it a shot.
    I seen a cheap heat gun in argos I might buy if I can fix YLOD myself.
    Saying that, even if it is reballed , is it only a matter of time before it breaks down again?

    I'm presuming a person that is unsure of how to do a reflow will not be able to do a reball.
    I was not questioning the RangeR's reballing skills.

    Yes
    Yes - You can only have two PS3's activated on your account. Be sure to deactivate the second PS3 when you are done.

    What do you mean by "there"(sic) console?

    If you do not own both consoles, then what you are suggesting is gamesharing/theft.

    With that in mind, I believe you fall within the spirit of the terms and conditions... Two ps3s within the same family household / family. What I do is put my profile on the second ps3, download the games but then... Most important... Disable "remember my password" and logout. Your profile is there but the person on the ps3 cannot access that profile... Only the games that have been downloaded can be played.
