ok i was just ingame and went outside to smoke a cig. when i returned the ps3 was off and the red light was blinking. i reset the ps3 and went back in game and just 5 seconds into it it just turned off and the red light was blinking again. then i try and resest it again and then the green light came on and then suddenly the red light came on and then started blinking yellow. wtf it wont do **** but repeat the same thing over and over. i reset it, the green light comes on, the ps3 makes a wierd noise then the red light comes on and hear a "bleep", then the red light blinks yellow THEN BACK TO SLOW BLINKING RED.

The same thing happens to me when I'm playing I get a message on the PS3 that says "turn off the console, and this overheated" and the red light flashes, then remains stable.

What I did was buy a cooler and ready, and not leave that message or the red light too.

Ouch

ohhh man, well for me that happens cuz here it's very hot weather.
 
I think your PS3 is dying, even if you have your warranty, I recommend sending it to sony, after that do not cost anything.

may be man, would be the hard drive or the video card.

sony was charging me $ 80, but fortunately had guaranteed. and was free, jujuju
 
but I recommend something if you decide to give it to sony. verifies that everything is fine when you return, because Sony changed mine. was one of 80 gb and they gave me a 40 gb. bad fart, I realized six months later. Ouch

does any know about these guys or has anyone used these guys to repair their system?
they said the "yellow light of death" is usualy a cooling fan malfunction and its a common problem. they told me when i called that they could fix it for around $80, or send me a referbished one for $220 that they guarantee for 90 days. just wondering if anyone knows about these guys and knows they are legit. i just got screwed out of a time share in mexico so im a little paranoid when it comes to scams.

yup man, i done that, but the contract I signed does not allow me to complain. I told him that was an injustice. The contract stated that I had a month to claim any doubt, but it took 6 months.

my bad. Cry

You dont lose trophies. Theyre tied to your PSN account.

I was wondering about that, so what happens if you get your trophies whilst not signed in? Is that what the "sync with server" option is for?

latley my PS3 has been making a very loud fan like noise...it seems to only do it when its very hot in my house...like yesterday in CA it got up to 95 degrees & my PS3 started b****ing...i got so paranoid that i just shut it off & left it alone for a few hours...i dont have a warranty on my PS3....my PS3 is a 60gb (which ive heard are more vulnerable of getting the YLOD)....:( wat should i do? a person at gamestop told me to put a fan in the back of my PS3 & that i should clean it.....but idk how to clean it O.O...i just wanna do as much as possible to prevent my PS3 getting the YLOD!

& Envy i'm sorry about ur PS3 :( i'd ask my dad because he does infact work for Sony but he told me once " if it breaks, it breaks!" soooooo mean huh?? idk i guess he isn't allowed to give out Sony info... waaaaa D:
