to fix this you have to reflow the heat sync....
you got to take apart your PS3 and get to the mother bored then heat up
the heat syncs,put compound gel on it and thats it..very confuesing but the video on youtube
gives you step by step instructions on how to do it. better off payin 150$ but since i dont
have that money i just had to fix it myself..so yea, there you goShocked

& 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:
 
yes, PS3 has a couple fan settings, so it can kick into high gear and make a ton of noise when they get really hot. Put a fan up by it to help cool it off, that help a ton. Also, mine was in an entertainment center, with the back facing the wall, and the side my cable box, so the fans had  no where to blow. So when I play i set it on a box outside of the entertainment center so nothing is around it and it gets better ventalation. Pain in the A** but worth it if it saves me $150.
 
Sorry about the bad luck Envy, I lose sleep over this everytime my PS3 kicks into high gear.
Also, there are tons of threads on Sony's forums about this. I don't have any of the links saved but have read them before. There is one to sign your name and date of crash/model of PS3/date purchased and stuff on.

You could pull the old Switch-A-Roo like i do all the time at BestBuy. Buy a new Ps3, clean ur old one up really well so it looks brand spankin, open the box very carefully so u cant tell that its opened, put your old one in and take the new one out, return the old one and get ur money back.......Sham WOW that was easy :P Thank you come again

Thats what i'm saying, i told D-Mafia to do the same thing... he could even swap the HDD so that he keeps all his saved files and only has to register the machine on the PSN again...

I had the exact same thing happen to me. Getting through to sony took dedication and ingenuity. I kept getting rerouted thru the same automated menus when i called customer care for ps3. Then i started pressing buttons that weren't mentioned in the menus and one of them worked. When the person answered they were shocked i found them. Bastards. Oh well. Moral of the story:

Your ps3 will go in and you will get a different one in return. It will be free or it will be 150 if your out of warranty. Or if your in warranty but  u bought from circuit city your totally f'd.
