@bubbahockey11 This means your PS3 is probably dead. I dont know if there is a fix for it. At least on your own. Only way to do so is buy calling up Sony and send it in for repair or find an electronics shop that knows how.
what the hell u guys talking bout 360 being better, had one for about 3 months before rrod showed up and fucked me over had my ps3 for bout 2 years and its never fucked up before good reliable system and you wont get fucked by 3 flashing lights
I have the slim. I thought that it wouldn't turn on, but it just turns out that I had the PS2 chords plugged in that look the exact same, yellow, white, and red hahaha.
But anyways, that sucks and I hope that you make the money to repair it and repair it.
hummmm i have no idear wat that had to do with my conmment as it wasnt aim at yourself lol i dont have an xbox i sold it n fix my ps3 myself but mine had diffent prob but im covered lol
man, i wasnt aware of this problem till about 5 mins ago and it happened to mine. modern warfare2 just on the way. well i have had lots of problems with mine. this will be my 5th in 2 yrs but all still under guarantee so im not too bad i guess. it shows a vid on u tube on how to fix this problem but ill get a new one for free so i dont mind. as for the X-box. if i had to buy a new ps it would still be cheaper than line rental that you pay those leeches.
omfg i sure hope has hell i get my orange box disc i fucking love those games and its a hard disc to find and i bought it when it was brand fucking new
DUDE U DONT KNOW HOW BAD I FEEL FOR U THE SAME THING HAPPENED LIKE 3 HOURS AGO I WAS IN A CHAT ROOM AND SUDDENTLY MY PS3 TURNED OFF.. YELLOW LIGHT THEN RED BLINKING LIGHTS..IF SOME ONE KNOWS HOW TO FIX THIS PLEASE SEND A MESSAGE TO ME , IF U KNWO HOW MUCH IT COST TO HAVE IT FIXED PLEASE TELL ME .. I AM NOTHING WITH OUT MY ps3.. lol NAH BUT FOR REAL I LOVED MY PS3 SO MUCH I NEEED IT BACK OMFG OMFG IM ALREADY GOING CRAZY
yea i had this problem too. the blinking red light means mainly 2 things your power supply is burnt or your ps3's firmware crashed in wich case you'r f****d. if its your power supply you can take your ps3 your local play n trade and they'll fix for about $80. its better than the 150 it takes to send it sony. YOU CANNOT fix this problem your self so dont waste time looking all over the internet like i did.
ok lisent to my story. i buy a 60gb kinda new from ebay and in 5 months its overheated playing RE5. so i got in touch with sony and thay sent me a box and i had to print out my paypal transaction from ebay to show them i buy it there it was a 60gb and of course in less then 2 weeks i got a new 60gb with that plastic on the case so it wont scratch and damn so awesome brand new!! and a year of warranty ^^
hey man i noticed u reply to alot of comments can u help me please my ps3 is broke because my brother got pissed ate me and stuck a nife in the disc drive and cut it will sony fix it even if i dont have a waranty i have the 150 dollers but will they just send it back and not fix it or will they give me a new one plz plz plz reply thx
If it's still under warrenty it should be free. If not then it's 150 dollars. Check with Sony customer service either through it's website or call them up.
If you owned it for less then a year and it broke then its free. If its over a year and it broke then its out of warranty and you will have to pay for the repair if you send it to sony.
I took my PS3 to a gas station which had a cmpressed air pipe, and pushed the air in and out the PS3 through its vent holes, you wont even believe the amount of DUST that came out of the machine (and yes I keep my PS3 in a clean area)... it was so much that I could hardly breathe so make sure you´re in an open area before you do this...IT WORKS NOW
i talked to sony and they said that the yellow light is due to over heating but i let my ps3 cool down for 3 days! but it still doesnt work so im not sure
well my friend just bought a new hard drive and installed it and his works again so u shoulc try using an external hard drive and see what happens and then purchase an internal ne for ps3.
I'll look into it. I'm not too sure an external hard drive would work. Not only that but I would have to buy an external hard drive to test it, then i would have to buy an internal drive, which would cost me around 150 if not much higher for two hard drives. It would be a waste if it isnt the hardrive thats the problem. Probably just be cheaper and safer to pay the 150 dollars to get it fixed unless theres a way to know it really needs just a new hard drive. But Thanks anyway for the help.
Ive heard this too. Ive also heard its due to overheating. Its either one or the other. So which is it? I hope its just the hard drive because it wold be cheaper to fix. but i'm not to sure.
same thing happened to me about 1 month ago. Im having the same situation that your having. I have to pay the money to get it fixed but have none :( Anyhow, hope you get it fixed soon
my ps3 is doing that too but idk how to fix it comment back

Yea, if it's warrenty expired you have to pay Sony to fix it (which happend to me). It's 150dollars I think to have it fixed.
Thing is I pretty much have to get it fixed since mine is a 60gig model with PS2 backward capatible. Its hard to find one that can play PS2 games.
