this is why they should have made the power brick external, and should have put better solder joints in the thing. Less heat, better connections and people wouldn't be having this problem.
I hope this doesn't happen to my PS3. I only use it for blu-ray, netflix and gaming, but I'm offloading the netflix to a new HTPC as I know it won't have these kinds of problems, and replacing a single part will be a lot cheaper if something does break.
