my PS3 keeps turning itself on

[matengawhat]

last few days my PS3 keeps turning itself on and i can't work out why - keep turning round and its on only happens about once a day - so i am thinking that something is activating it - only thing is not sure what as non of my other remotes are bluetooth - any ideas?

thinking about the article earlier this week about blu rays calling home - can they turn it on as wall-e has been sitting in the machine for last few days

only other thing thats new is i've started using my squeezbox again and it wakes my pc up upstairs they are all connected to my wireless network could that be it?

Hi,

Perhaps the remote is being knocked when it's lying idle? Or one of your PS3 controllers is being moved by something/someone else?

Any animals around who'd sniff about?

Cheers,

You say that but I have had the same issue and I definitely have not sat on the remote........hmmmm........

well my remote and controllers are all under the coffee table so if it happens again tomorrow will update this thread - like i said before thought was something either to do with the blu ray been in machine or the squeezbox through router - also my car has bluetooth in it and i park it directly under my ps3 there is prob about 1m between roof of car and lounge floor - car stereo is a sony!!!

thinking outside the box now - infact out of the house!!!

Hi,

Bluetooth normally requires a password or pairing exercise. I'd rule out the car.

Main culprits would be the dog/cat/girlfriend in that order. Find out which one can tell the time and they can set your video for you too ;-)

Cheers,

Do you have the ability to turn your PS3 on via remote play? I remember a while back this caused some problems, even when the PSP was off. I am unsure if this problem still exists though, Do you have the latest firmware? I know that you said the controller was under a cushion, but if that was not it, then this could be

I have the same problem but i no is, the centre PS on my controller is dodgy and really anoying can happen during a game to so if i conceed a goal on pro evo and get angry and shake the pad it takes me to the XMB :/ need a new pad!

I linked my Wii to the web last week and ever since, the normal "red" standby light is orange, and the front glows blue for no reason. They're watching you too. http://anglopapist.files.wordpress.com/2008/02/tin-foil-hat.jpg

Usually glows blue for me when there is a message or a console update waiting.

..when presumably your gf is out, walking the dog and the cats are in the kitchen preparing your dinner and therefore can be safely ruled out????
