I keep on getting the above message when trying to install a demo, game or update. Small files seem to be fine but anything above 400mb has problems. PS3 is wired... can anyone help???
Another site mentions this
'I disabled the SPI firewall in my router (Netgear w614v6) and all error code 80029564 is gone'
From reading a bit more it does seem to be all hinting towards a bad internet connection, the demo might download, but parts might be missing hence the fail when it goes to install, are you wireless? Try ethernet etc etc, hope some of this helps
Have plenty of space. Am using Ethernet. Someone told me to do Restore PS3 Setting, so i selected Full Format but it seems to be stuck at 1% and remaining time says counting
ok did the system restore and no luck.... I do not have UPnP enabled and it don't seem to be available even if i select it. Someone said try port forward.... any help?
Strange that you're still having the problem after the format, seems to me that all signs point towards your hard drive being goosed or on it's way out. I mean I hope I'm wrong but to me that's what it's looking like mate from the info you have given on your findings. Have you not got a spare 2.5 inch external sata drive somewhere you can use to test this ? Process of elimination if nothing else at this point.....obviously something is wrong somewhere.
Don't had a hard drive to test. It's the fat one 40GB, not under warrenty and Sony said it might be hard drive and they will replace it with another 40GB for aroynd £131
