My PS3 Broke?

[AlexOC]

Well my ps3 keeps turning off.

When i turn it on these lights come up in this order:

Red
Green + Blue
Yellow
Red
Keeps Flashing Red

Can anybody help?

[Misawa]

Yes, your PS3 is dead. The only way to fix it is to send it to Sony and pay something like £140 I think it is. You will get a replacement if you've got warranty.

[wummer]

how come it broke? if anyone knows

[Misawa]

It's the equivalent of the Xbox lights.

I think its the YLOD?

[AlexOC]

No its not YLOD, as the yellow light flashes then goes straight away, and its on now, but scared of it going again.

No its not YLOD, as the yellow light flashes then goes straight away, and its on now, but scared of it going again.

Surely it is the Yellow Light of Death then?

What PS3 is it, the new one or the big chunky one? It could be it's over-heated somehow, but there's not alot to suggest other than see what Sony think, which means money :/

[AlexOC]

Its the older one, 80gb. And it just went off again. it turns on for like 20minutes then does it, then does it instantly after that, unless i wait for about 30 minutes,. then it will turn on for about 20minutes again before doing it

It's always the same problem so if you YouTube it you could fix it yourself.

[AlexOC]

I looked but none will work.

Its like its a heat problem, the longer i leave it the longer it will turn on for before turning off, the shorter i leave it the shorter it takes for it to turn off. :@

Might get some fans on it.
