Power supply is a pretty cheap fix.

But Sony will still charge you $170.

Thank you for the contribution.

*Hugs 80GB model*
"Don't worry, you can't get that anytime soon."

My condolences MM.

well, that sucks. been there myself and lost all my saves. I was wondering why you weren't responding in that chat last night and i guess this explains it. i wasn't joking when i told people to back up their damn saves.

but mm, fair is fair. you should probably ban yourself because you banned me for breaking my ps3.

it was a average pc powersupply. ps3 it's custom made.

Sorry for your loss

Okay, so it might cost about $30 as oppose to $10?

...oops I fergot

Let's hope ure PS3 last much longer Torillian lol

We'll see.  I take more procautions with it then I used to so maybe that'll help my precious 60g last.  Used to be I would have it on pretty much constantly and have it doing folding if I wasn't playing it.  These days I let it rest when I'm not actually using it. 

GL with your console MM. 

If the second plug you tried was close to the first then they are likely on the same circuit. Make sure you check your breakers/fuses, or see if other electronics work while plugged into the same outlets.

Do NA power leads have fuses because it could have blown. Plus if you get a power surge the fuse blows before it can damage your electronics.
Try changing you power supply
