PS3 help needed.

mrscb

Hi Oh got a PS3 but sometimes get a message on the screen stating maximum power supplied to usb devices has been reached please unplug a usd device.(only two plugged in and sometimes only one!)
Any ideas?:beer:

gaming_guy

do you have something like a self powered USB hard drive plugged in?

mrscb

Nope...just 2 controllers maximum

bluenoseam

send it back to retailer or contact sony as there's a problem unless either of the two devices is a particularly high powered device. (i.e. anything novelty such as lighting/fans)

mrscb

both are just sony controllers...its a ps3 slim and lite 120gb if it makes any difference.

gaming_guy

sounds like there may be a problem if its just sony controllers plugged into it. i've never had that message on my PS3 ('phat' 60gb) and i use a variety of self powered and non self powered devices

have you tried any other usb devices just in case there is a problem with the controllers?

the controllers do only need to be plugged in if they need charging and not all the time. could this issue come about if two controllers are always plugged in? just a speculative idea. the chances are its a fault.
