RIP my PS3!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Turned it on went to the store, it turned off. Odd I thought, went to turn it back on it flashed red beeped a couple of times did not turn back on.
I tried turning it off and then on again. The light briefly went yellow, then the PS3 beeped a few times, and then the
light flashed red.

The End :(

Gutted feel angry very sad :(

The Mrs has not been very sympathetic :mis::cry:

Rang sony they said not a common problem £150 we will send a reconditioned one on Tuesday!!!!!!

Hoping to get COD on Monday!!!!! :mad: Do i just bite the bullet a buy a bran new one?

Re: RIP my PS3!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

this IS a common problem , do a search for ylod , get back on to Sony and kick up a bit of a fuss, others have said they have had replacements after a few "i thought sony was supposed to be quality and not break , its as bad as the xbox, can't wait to tell watchdog this one its already been on once" ......

how old is your ps3

Re: RIP my PS3!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Got it at from play the day they came out. :(

Is there away of sending it somewhere to be fixed with out losing my data, and getting my PS3 back instead of someones elses reconditioned one!!!!!:mad:

Re: RIP my PS3!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

seriously , get onto sony and wreak havok , if they agree an exchange swap the hard drive out , if not , for £150 you could buy a brand new xbox with cod , don't suppose you bought on a credit card ?? , they sometimes (visa) extend all guarantees

Re: RIP my PS3!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry to hear that Stone m8. So does the console not boot at all then ? Have you tried keeping your finger on the power button for 5 secs when switching on to get into the recovery menu ?

Re: RIP my PS3!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Yeap :( Believe me mate its dead.

Blockbusters game in there as well! :mad: Has to be back tomorrow.

Re: RIP my PS3!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Damn thats suck m8. As bulkylad said you could try phoning an kicking up a fuss you might get lucky but I wouldn't put money on it as its there policy now. All depends on who you get through to sometimes.

As for the website you posted a link to I dont know m8 but my firewall blocked it as a suspiciuos website. Not sure why might be nothing but look into them before using them.

Re: RIP my PS3!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

heard switching on with the eject button pressed can sometimes work ........ thats really bad luck mate :(

just to add , the website you linked probably only do this :http://playstationlifestyle.net/foru...ead.php?t=2376 ,

would be worth a try yourself if your feeling a little techy , hire the heatgun , will cost you next to nothing.

Re: RIP my PS3!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Thanks for that i'll give that. :tu:

Re: RIP my PS3!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

sorry to go on , but if your really determined to fix (still not guaranteed obviously) , the earlier models of the ps3's seem to have 'dodgy' power supply issues to , google it , this could also be your issue , pick a newer version up from ebay , the model in your ps3 will be the aps-227 , you can get the latest version aps-231 on e-bay.
