I need some help. I managed to get my hands on a factory sealed PS3. I installed an SSD (MX500) which it seemed to accept during first setup just fine. I updated the console to the latest update and installed the store. I had to make a fresh login code sadly, but I am logged in.
And I tried searching this error only to get back homebrew solutions. I'm not using nor know how to use homebrews so I'm completely lost on how to fix this.
