My PS3 is Dead

Yep, my PS3 has official had it. I was casually browsing the web on the PS3, then all of a sudden I hear a click, instantly after; the screen goes blank, I hear 3 beeps, and the red light starts flashing. I turn it off and turn it on again, and it does exactly the same thing. The manual says that's it's just due to overheating, but all I was doing was browsing the web, and the fan speed wasn't that high. So I recon it's something far worse than that.

I've looked on the web, and people have claimed that removing the hard drive and starting the system up does the trick, but I wanted to know if there are any other solutions, plus, my soul calibur 4 disc is still inside!

It's a day 1 launch 60gb PS3, will sony still take it in for repair? Or do I have to buy a new BC-less one?

Looks like me and my 360 are going to get really close from now on.

 

Replace the HDD before you send it back to Sony. They will charge you around $150 to fix it and will replace your broken system with another 60gb model (probably refurb) or just fix yours. My PS3 is broken also (disk error via firmware corruption) , but they guarateed me my fixed condole or a 60gb BC PS3. The process should take 3 weeks to 1 month, if reformating your HDD doesn't work. God speed.

P.S. I think there's a good chance it's your power supply that's fucked. Maybe a bug jammed the fans?

a lot of ps3 broken, brought in my shop.
Blue ray player is very fragile. Sony assistance sucks, while MS assistance is fast and ready.

Practice makes perfect.
