Forums - Sony - My PS3 is Dead

Yep, my PS3 has officially 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.

Microsoft paid to kill it.

That sucks. Doesn't Sony do repairs though?

 

 They do, but it's a launch PS3, the 1 year warranty is over. So I may not get free servicing. But cougarman has given me hope.




i feel your pain, but i thin you will need to pay sony to repair it though

 damn it obie, why must you kill my hope?




They extended the warranty for the launch systems a while back. I'm not sure if they're still in effect, but I'd say it's worth it to at least call Sony and see what's up.



Buy a new one, so you can bring the hardware sales up...
