Get a power strip with an off button. 4. LoganN64. • 3 yr. ago. I just go to the far left "turn off PS3", that pretty much shuts it off completely, there will be a "stand-by" light, but that's just at minimum power, I also have my consoles plugged in to a surge protector bar/strip, and just hit the button to cut the power from the wall. 2.
If anyone else has this problem just hold it until it shuts off. Ohh for safe mode you need a wired controller/use the wire that comes with your ps3 controller. It wont wirelessly sync. I tried a wired third party controller and that didn't work either..
