  • Some models can eject the game with the fan test.

    1. Turn mains off

    2. Hold eject and turn mains on.

    3. The fan operates at its highest speed for about 15 seconds (should eject at start of this if not try again)

    4.Turn mains off

    only works on some models though

  • dude i hear ninja warrior in the back

  • i got the same problem yesterday and my ps3 also doesn't start =c i'm lookin for an anserw ==c

  • Yeah I like this video. I had the same problem, I fixed it for free by myself I made a video on my page its clear has easy intructions for you to complete for yourself.

  • @Bless29online where is your video ??

    

  • my ps3 has packd up :(. i tyurn it on and it dosnt work!

  • Holy Shit its like PS3 turing to X box. Hope someone knows how to fix this problem without letting Sony fix it. Happened to mine.

  • ninja warrior is on!!!!

  • Get an xbox! :P

  • @UncleGyro I have two...both are dead at the moment but they were given to me dead and i fixed one which worked for about a year and the other one just gave up on life all together.

  • Don't wait 6 weeks for Sony to "fix" your PS3 and lose hundreds of dollars...fix it yourself! - youtube.com/watch?v=W6IqzZV3c0­k

    

  • FIX IT YOURSELF!! cheap and easy

    youtube.com/watch?v=U70SgRDVcB­o

    thumb me up so everybody will see this instead of sending them to sony for 200$

  • i had this problem and i held in the power button until it beeped 3 times and it brought me to a screen saying reconnect my controller and then it brought me to a menu of like 5or6 options. i choose opt. 3 and then it brought it back to normal

  • @Juggalotheonefreak Do you have the ps3 slim because I don't believe the old ones have these options you speak of. If you can explain a bit more, what you said may be believable.

  • @ScorpionMHS09 I know what you do. You turn of your PS3 (Works with fat too) Then you hold the power button till you hear 3 beeps(First one does not count) Then a menu will pop up then you connect your Controller. The menu will have "Restore PS3" of Restart PS3 then you press one of those and wait.

  • hehehehe burn it

  • Just got that problem... does it mean that i have to repair it or buy a new one?? PLz help!

  • @bestscape if you have the knowledge and tools to fix it, do it yourself but if you don't call sony if you want to pay $150 or go to Google and type in ps3 repair. There are trusted websites that do it for cheap.

  • whel buy a xbox LOOOL

  • @MRklica I have two Xbox 360s. One doesn't work while the other one struggles with the E74 error.

  • @ScorpionMHS09

    yes but listen its meny ways to prevent the red ring off death and erorrs ....

    you can search on youtube how to prevent the prod;)

    I SWEAR IF YOU LOOK TO THE VIDS AND FOLLOW YOU WILL NEVER GET PROD LIKE I !!!I HAVE MY ARCADE FOR LIKE 3 YEARS NO PROBLEMS MY FRIEND

  • it said on the internet it is the yellow light of death

  • got the same problem.

  • lol that blows sony is trying to get rid of the bulky ones so ppl will buy the slim mine craped out theblue ray player

  • Imma Renew my Warranty and Send my PS3 (cause it does the same thing as yours in this video) and ill get a new one so yea

  • I hope it works for all of you with this problem as well. I had originally opened the system and cleaned the Ps3 thoroughly and that didn't work. Gave up for some time then tried it today, had the hair dryer blowing in the back vents for 15-20 minute moving back and forth and it worked. Be careful the heat melted the back vent grid a little bit. For all of you people who have tried everything else it is worth a shot.

  • SO how is that working out for you, doing the hair dryer thing?

  • its da mw2 update dat mde dis happen

    too many updates for mw2 in just about 2 months

  • OMG PLEASE NOO i just had this happen to me while playing mw2 it suddenly turned off and now this!!!

  • unbelievable, my ps3 just died, and this video confirms it. $150 to repair and be without my ps3 for god knows how long or 300 for a new slim, oh ok gonna splurge for the new one, just too dam addicted to MW2...

  • lol.. this happens to 1% of all the ps3's in the world (happened to my friend too)

  • dude that the yellow light of hell. lol really that yellow is a defect when trying to make the hardrive everyones ps3 gets it to fix it take the ps3 top off and the go to tha fan

    after that take a damp not wet damp towel and gentqally touch the cd holder with it.

  • I got that 2 i got a slim

  • Same problem here but i am happy it happend after 3 years i love Sony

  • Hahaha!!...Ninja Warrior...Cool show..Sorry bout' your PS3

  • mail it off to me and ill fix it for 60 bucks

  • right guys mines doing this , if u have had urs fixed by paying , can u tell me if u lost everything on there ? , and can u keep ur hard drive and all online thigns , please tell me thanks :)

  • i thinks its the new update

  • Happened to me with Batman

  • sony can sux my cox money grabbing whores

  • and they bash the 360 for fucking up

  • benpounder ur an idiot it cant be ppls faults that they r malfunctioning. i dont think u know wat ur talking about.

    i think most ppl who bought the 60gb has this problem and will sooner or later. i have the problem right now too and im trying to fix it myself instead of wasting 150 dollars. ill see and might post how to fix it. i have nothing to lose now since the warranty expired

  • That is EXCATLY what mine also does

  • Same thing happened to mine 2 days ago.. Was playing Battlefield 1943 and it just went off.. Phoned Sony and my warranty was out so they're charging £145 to replace it.. How come it's only $150 over there? That's like half the price compared to the UK :(

  • I have no idea why its like that. All you have to do is yell and say im not paying and they might do it for free!

  • I have the same problem did you take it part or did you have it repaired?

  • is ur ps3 hacked

  • No. Nothing was wrong with this PS3! It just happened randomly. I have a new ps3 now so whatever happened to this one is old news. This one had the YLOD. I took care of it and its just the heat sync compound wore off.

  • everyone i see with this problem has there ps3 either on carpet or something like carpet

  • Thats not carpet and thats not the problem. ITs the heat sync compound that wears away.

  • can i just say

    ps3s should run smoothly and fine(unlike xbox 360)

    i blame the owners.

    Try to keep your ps3 well ventilated, dont block the vents at the back.

    Dont turn it of at the back. it even says in the ps3 manual;

    Note: Check that the system is in standby mode (power indicator red) before turning it off using the main power switch on the system rear. If you turn off the system using the main power switch while the power indicator is green, it may cause the system to malfunction.

  • Well your wrong. My PS3 was well ventilated and I never turned it off in the back and never turned it off while the orange light was blinking so I blame this on SONY for not fixing the problem.

  • i probably have 2 buy a new one cause my warranty is up n i have had it for a year n a half.

  • guys join somthing called continuous play it's insurance for your PS3,toy pay about 4.99 a mounth and you can join after your PS3 roke and can cancel the payments straight after

  • yea get a 360 and you'll have to get it fixed two days after owning it that happened to me so i just stick with PS3

  • Same thing happened to me. 360 broke in a freakin week. Returned it to bestbuy. Gonna buy slim PS3.

  • I went back to the store and got it back 3 weeks later... No big deal, didnt cost me a euro

  • this happened to me too and it pissed me off i was gonna play gta4 also

  • wat shall i do i got same problem?? i dow wanna pay 140 2 sony bastards fo replacement n e ideas?

  • Is there a way to fix this??

  • $150 my ass

    u can fix it yourself by power it off then back on while holding the eject button

  • LOL In your dreams. The cpu is overheated when this happens.

  • so then you tryed this

  • What is this helping for??

  • getting rid of the light

    it worked for me

  • How the hell do i do that??!?!?

  • do wat???

    get rid of the light

  • Yeah, how did u do it?

  • you turn off your ps3

    then you cut the power

    then you hold the eject button while turning the power back.(you know the buttom on the back)

    the fan test should start up

    if all goes well the red blinking light should be gone....coulden't hut to try

  • LOL that is not removing the lights. I have done it before. Not new to me. That was the first i did.

  • well thats how you can tell if its a

    simple dust problem or a hardware problem hopefully you got warrenty

  • I have the warranty but i dont have the receipt. So i hope i can send it back.

  • probably not but good luck

  • lol usuaully there is different codes for colours like flashing red means its over heated... google it

  • fortunately your system is just overheated so u r in luck

  • are you watching japanese on your TV? xD

  • I managed to accidentaly make this happed when it froze, i turned the power switch on the back on and off rapidly before it had chance to cool down, and the same happening here decided to happen.

    It was fine after about 30 seconds, but i wouldn't really like to do it again to see i it's possible to fake it :/

  • Xbox 360 has more problems that PS3 lol.

    To ScorpionMHS09, is the system hot? Or just started doing that?

  • and thats why you're gay you have the shitbox fuck60

  • i had that problem on my 80 gig ps3

  • i'm so glad they got rid of that hideous chrome accent.

  • Its GTA 4 PS3 Freeze i have but my ps3 never freeze

  • Comment removed

  • i have the 360 havent got red rings but the 360 seems reliable at first but it dies when warrenty goes out ps3 however dies when you get it.

  • srry, don't turn it off! it will turn off on it's own

  • try a fan test. u turn off the ps3, then press and hold the eject button, while you are holding it, turn the ps3 on but don't take your finger off the eject button. the ps3 will start making really weird noise, that is the fans in the back of it. then after a little, turn it off.

  • Nice lights, i never see i flashing... :P

  • i got the same prob if u find an alternate to sendin it in lemmy kno

  • it's not broken you shit head

  • Then what is wrong with it. I already got it fixed but if i could have fixed myself. I will be pissed.

  • hehe your watching ninja warrior on g4.

  • its not a proplem u ideats its jost u need to fix ur settings and have the right tv

    look up all the problems

    and ps3 dosnt brake down naver seen one brake down naver will

  • Where the Fuck did u learn to spell

  • from ur mom she couldn't teach me that well cuz i was fuckn her in the ass

  • You can't spell. LOL

  • anal lol

  • It would not turn on. I couldn't even do the reset by hold it down for like six seconds or something like that.

  • try the kill switch in the back if that does not work do the fan test

  • it does break down. Its called the yellow light (I think)

  • it's isolated to 60 gig systems, from what i've read.

  • oh shit damn bro

  • i have the same problem too

  • i have a similar problem but no red light. green and blue but no picture sound and my controller won't turn on

  • o shit call sony they might give u a free repair

  • same issue see my video,

  • damm dude the same shit happen to me but i unplug the power cord and it went to normal

  • are u watching ninja warrior

  • They should repair the ps3 for free

  • SUPER BIG PRODUCT FUN SHOW RULEZ!

  • fuck lsu

  • Shut the hell up you little ass. If you don't have anything nice to say just shut up. By the way, LSU is better than any other college football team. We won the BCS and your shitty ass team didnt. Just shut up.

  • USC is THEE BEST... POINT ,, BLANK ,, PERIOD(.)

  • Keep telling yourself that. Nobody really cares about anything you say so just delete your account on Youtube and go somewhere else where USC fags play.

  • noramoreland someone hu has some sense now u ps3 fatfanboys can quit sayin xbox 360 got re rings of death well now we see u got blinking red light of death

  • Havent gotten RROD yet pal :)

    All consoles are good for their own reasons peoples...

  • ThaNsaneOne i dont think its the worst console made and i have two, it not the best but i say the same for ps3 (no good games)

  • ur screwed

  • people are idiots. that only happens when you start downloading an update or something for one of the games and you either take out the game or turn off the system. it clearly says to not turn this system off while donwloading or it may not turn back on.

  • so what happens if you lose power during an update?????

  • I never turned off my system when a update or game update was on.

  • and when it overheats, most common reason sadly

  • um no it doesnt dumb ass. I just had this problem happen to my ps3 about 3 days ago while I was in the middle of playing a game. Now its broke and they refuse to replace it cause its out of warranty and 2 years old.

  • blud same ere how u fix it?

  • hate to break it to you man...but there is no current knowledge on how to fix it. You can try to complain to Sony and beg for them to fix it for free but its most likely not going to happen. I even sent them a personal letter to their headquarters in CA with a response of "your pretty much screwed(they really didnt say this...but thats how i took it)" I just got mine fixed by sending it back to Sony for a $150 repair. You send it to somewhere in Texas. Took about 1 week to get it back

  • respec maaayn

  • hahah idiot didn't know how to take care of it I bet he is like 10 years stupid kid dumbass

  • Yeah you have no life what so ever. It simply overheated if you would look at the owners manual. It talks about the yellow light means overheating. And plus for more info. there was a batch of PS3's that were defected with this overheating issues. So go and get a life and stop commenting like you own everybody you stupid immature prick.

  • wow and people who play the gay station 3 say that the red rings of death was only for xbox 360 well heres proof that it all so for play station

  • Because Xbox 3-Shitty is the worst console ever to be made. And everyone who has one knows its true..( I have one )

  • owned

  • Hah. Now the RRoD has no use in Console war arguments.

  • Actually, RROD is still a valid point. Failure rate still stands at 33% for 360 and 0.2% for the PS3 (I keep hearing those numbers over and over, so I don't think they are false). This guy here, sadly, happens to fall into the 0.2% Shit happens, but doesn't happen as often on the PS3.

  • ROFL! Ninja warrior in the backround.

  • I went over to my friend's house and while I was over there his PS3 did the same thing. His parents took it back so we played PS2 to pass the time. He got a replacement. THe replacement worked so we put in GTA 4 and had a good time with it.

  • ps3 is beggining to get out of the box by that i mean xbox 360 is losing

  • True dat!

  • fuuccin shitty systems today i had a ps1 and i still got it working awsome today and it spent a couple nights outside my xbox 360's the shiit but i feel like and cant play the shiit outta it like ps1 one thats fuuckin sad

  • YO THESE SYSTEMS TODAY ALWAYS BREAKING PS3 FAILURE RATE IS NOT UNDER 0.02 NO MORE it went up sky high i just want 2 relax and play my game without it breaking my 360 didnt break but im just saying the system i would say under 0.02 is the wii 360s went down

  • How high? I know mine has got down with fever....

  • better than RRoD

  • hold the power button till u hear 2nd beep..

    Might help

  • so it doesnt work after the red light shows up?

  • mayb itz overheated or itzz da game cuz gta4 made a lot of problemz wit ps3 nd xbox 360.

  • heres an idea use it for games only dont watch your blue ray shit on it. buy a blue ray player

  • sounds like a microwave lol

  • R u watching ninja warrior?

  • I sure was. LOL

  • i got the same problem after trying to load gta4 :(

  • at 0:25 theres a yellow light it means that ur ps3 is fucked

  • omg i got the yellow light yesterday and was like wtf but my ps3 still works id jus never seen the yellow light

  • oh well usually the ps3 breaks when the yellow lights come on its sorta like the 360s red ring of death

  • something got fried, human error lol. i'm serious its not sonys problem it could be the game try taking it out right as it turns on.

    gta4 is cursed =P

  • what do you meen is it my fault that this happened b/c i believe that it was their system that crashed on me!!

  • Lol, i have the same thing with my 60gig ps3.

    It was caused off an electrial strom near by that destroyed my pc, ps3, 2x ruters,4 external hdd's off mine... i have insurence doh :D so i get back from that (22 000NOK )

  • Psn roger15000 or 1500 dont remenber

  • -_-'' u gotta 360?

  • No but i think im gonna get one soon.

  • Dont its a waste of money and trust me it was GTA IV fault it fucks up your system but they got a patch to fix it

  • do you have a 40 gb

  • Nope i have a 2nd month 60GB.

  • dude 60gb sux might as well bought the xbox 360 or a even better than xbox a ps3 80gb for free they might give u one if you give them the 60 i got mine that way(ps3 80gb) psn Kevinx92. They stop making 60gb 2 years ago. just unplug that shit leave it for a day and say hello to 80gb ps3.

  • lol that sucks fucking balls, to bad it happend to you, if you havent done this, hold down the start button for more then 5 seconds. so it can restart

  • I tried everthing possible. During the process of holding it down it automatically turns to yellow then blinks red.
