What is error code 8071053D - Sony Playstation 3 (PS3) Console

It could be that the console is not correctly syncing up to the network properly. This can happen in a number of ways, such as electric power issues that caused the console to turn off-and-on suddenly.

To solve it, you might have to do a hard reboot of the console. This is what to do:

1. turn off your PS3 by using the power toggle switch at the back of the console and then unplugging the power cord.
   
2. Once you do that, power off your modem (also the router if you have one as well) by unplugging the power supply.
   
3. What about a minute or so then plug back your modem. Wait for it to sync for internet access.
   
4. If you have a router, plug that in next and wait for it to sync as well. Otherwise skip to the next step.
5. Once your modem and router devices are back on and you have Internet, go ahead and plug your PS3 back and turn it on.
   
6. Access the Network Settings menu and see if you can create a new connection.
