what happens if you try to set the right date again?

I would say at least ONE of the ~25 million Ps3 fat users has tried that already.. and if it worked we'd know about it.

Wow..now that I think of it, wouldn't it be horrible if Sony had to replace these systems. I'm pretty sure there's some kind of fail safe for this....well let's just say I hope there's a cheaper solution.

 

I get aggravated everytime I see someone say that theres going to be a recall...

 

I am a highly overpaid PC Tech and I can tell you that there won't be a recall or a need to send in your PS3. This is a BIOS issue, and can be fixed via firmware update.

 

STOP SPREADING RUMORS OF A MASSIVE RECALL/REPLACEMENT.

Whoa, excuse me highly overpaid PC Tech. I only said, "Wouldn't it be horrible if Sony had to replace these systems?" I never said anything like, "Sony said on their Twitter that you'll have to send those Fat daddies in. We'll fix 'em right up." By cheaper solution, I did mean a firmware update as well. As a said earlier, my 60gb PS3 works great and I have the first model. It may also be because I fixed it and unplugged the battery inside.

I do not think he read what happened to your unit or what you did to it..

but I think the reset of the PS3's Bios by disconnecting the PS3's motherboard  battery is

A solution. a warranty voiding Solution that is..though I can see how you pretty much did not have a choice , if you did not want it to be sent back in, and you felt you could do the repair yourself..congrat's by the way on the repair.
