Sony - Is my PS3 HDD broken? - View Post

Is it a phat PS3? Because if it is, do whatever you can to save you data because mine acted like that before it finally died. I shrugged off other people's cautionary tales because I treat my consoles like royalty and I never expected it to break.

The final nail was when it said I turned it off improperly, did the diagnosis and then turned off. It never worked again. It would power up, the fan would make an exhaling sound, and the light would start flashing red. Wasn't even a YLOD. Game over, man. Game over.
