Updates Not Working No Matter What I Do

Any solution to this that doesn't require paying for an expensive repair?

Error code, 8007 045D, is indeed pointing to an issue with a corrupted storage device.

Before sending your console in for repair, maybe you might consider to format the internal flash memory, as long as this unit doesn't show as "unformatted".

If you consider this as an option, don't forget to move contents you wish to save to a different storage device.

The ones you've downloaded can be reacquired later from your download history, so just the disc games.

Hey again Sly! Thanks for all that information you provided! That was very helpful in figuring out what's going on.

The 4gb of internal memory that you're referring to is just flash memory. It comes standard with the unit type that you purchased and that's where the issue seems to lie. It appears that the memory is on the way out and is corrupted. When you try to install
the update (by downloading it or by USB drive) it automatically tries to install the update to the 4gb flash memory (since it's the default storage device). Unfortunately, since the memory is corrupted, the update gives you an error code.

The best course of action would be to send the console in for a repair. You can head over to the
Online Service Center to get that started or you can use the
Contact Us page to set up a support call with a repair specialist who can assist you.

Be sure to remove any games, hard drives (not your 4gb internal flash memory, that can't be removed), USB drives, etc from your console before sending it in. Once your console has been repaired you should be able to install the update without any issues.

Let us know how that goes as well as if you have any questions. =)

Hey there Sly! I'm sorry to hear about the update troubles. Let's see what we can do to get things sorted.

To start things off, here's a few questions for you to help us better understand the situation:

1. Which system database are you referring to that is not your hard drive?
2. Where exactly are the corrupted files stored?
3. Which troubleshooting steps have you tried, specifically?
4. Do you have a friend or family member who lives nearby that can let you try downloading the update from their house?
   

At first glance, it sounds like the hard drive might be on it's way out. Before we jump to that conclusion however, hit us back with the answers to those questions and we'll be standing by to hear back from you. =)
