What it means
Sony explains that CE-30035-1 can come from a temporary issue caused by several overlapping operations on the console. What clashes is usually a download or install in progress with what you are trying to do. It clears with a full power off and, if not, by letting the downloads or installs listed in Notifications finish. The code does not indicate a faulty part.
