Chosen Solution
I was playing Skyrim and my PS3 froze, this happens once in a while and I can usually manually turn it off to restart it with the power button on the console… but for some reason the power button will not work at all. The eject button works however.
Does the Power button only stop responding when you play Skyrim? This video shows a possible solution if you think it’s a hardware issue. If it only happens with Skyrim it’s likely a software issue. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gi8S2JBO…
It’s happen to me too when i lunch DMC (devil may cry) it’s only shows a black screen i don’t know why this happens But i press power button for long time till it force to turn off it’s maybe take around 5~10socends Don’t unplug the power cord it’s the real or more dangerous
