Hard power reset (the proper way)

**DCgh0st** · 01-23-2011,09:38 AM

I'm sure some of you already know this lil fact but I found it out last night when I was flashing my PS3.

Instead of doing a hard power reset (yanking the power cable out the back) just hold the power button down for 15-20secs (at least on 320gig slim), it powers off by itself, even if crashed.

Please stop pulling the power out :'(

not sure which is better for your ps3 tho

I'm not sure my sarcasm came across, obviously holding the power button down is better for your PS3

, you should never just unplug a computer (or computer type device).
