hrmm.. i did some experiment la. had some friends over.. played GH world tour. then plug in 4 usb skali.. half way playing one song then it started to go blink2 red light. so i restarted the ps3.. played GH5.. plug in all that usb again.. but it didnt go blinking.. played almost 4 songs tapi still ok.. then tukar game again to world tour.. the blinking problem starts again.. so.. i guess it is the firmware problem.. anyways.. i play movies alot on my ps3.. the ps3 never go blinking.. pelik tul..

anyway. got this from yahoo answers.. as same as some other websites.. im gonna try re-seating my HDD tonight, maybe it'd do the trick?

"It is highly advised to call up Sony service center if you figure such problems as it might be due to over heating or the cause would be something else. To be on the safer side, do not try to work on it yourself if you are not well aware of what you are doing. On being out of service warranty it can cost you something around $150 or even less and it depends on the problem your device is facing.

You might be certainly worried or go wild when PS3 blinking red light problem comes up. Just keep calm and face the situation boldly. According to the experts, the reason for this would either be due to misplaced connection of the hard drive or the drive might have rendered to be dead completely.

If you are looking out for a quick fix of the PS3 blinking red light problem, it is better to go with re-seating the hard drive. For this, you need to completely remove the hard drive physically and then reinstall the same. Sometimes, performing this simple task could prove to be a solution for your problem. On the other hand, if the problem of PS3 blinking red light persists, you must be ready to buy a new one.

When it comes to replacing the hard drive, do not keep thinking about it as it is not going to cost you more. You can simply get a cheaper one these days as there are almost all varieties available in the market. It would also be less expensive when compared to sending your gaming console to the Sony for a fix."

that becoz the U2 was run in rick texture + framerate + everything you see delicious in there...the GPU was used at full resources, that why the system fan goes berserk coz their are working to cool da system as they could. what i can see atm the PS3 cooling system was GREAT but i do believe there are some slack in architecture by blending the heat out from the casing...some wut the hot air stuck within & couldn't pass thru the ventilation fin smoothly, causing the system to over heat in due time.

i saw some people said that they were playing in da aircond room & still got YLod? do you think play in aircond room gonna help cool your system? objectively yes, but in subjectively no...most likely the thing goes like these..... in cool environment lets say one place like your rooms, then put a ps3 system, when you turn it on it will start to generate heat in there, do you think it will go cool? i don't think so, coz the cool air thats enter will be converted to hot air & the hot air that generate will not vaporize on to the thin air bcoz the air there was not thin anymore & it will be only stumble in one place around the generated area & couldn't vaporize elsewhere due to being suppress by the cool air, for instance try get a hot coffee the put it in fridge, then you see wut will happen? the coffee will be cool but not so easily cooled it'll take time & if you notice the condensed fog just stayed in one place they couldn't move elsewhere to be seen that becoz the cool air were suppressing the hot air temperature goes down...in fizik (cheywah lol) the hot air were more like unstable atom they were apart from each other more like bloating (that why we call it a thin air) as for the cool air they are more like solid atom sticking up together (more like a fat princess) eiiiii? WTF am i tutoring here OMG doh.gif ...ok i ask you a question, do you have sum laptop at home or in the office i mean in closed environment? how was it when you were using there? my hand was sweating while I'm typing these post, due to heat stumble around the laptop that couldn't vapor into the thin air... sweat.gif

so in my conclusion it doesn't matter if yaa playing in aircond room or not, to me its more like suppressing your system more than cooling it. i found that this is more related to ventilation system that why our ps3 always over heated...

now i'm pejam mata ready to be flamed mega_shok.gif

lol.. mmg power lah ur explanation. could well be truth!

fiiiuuhhh panjang explanation ko nyet, mmg bgus ko try nk share knowledge utk semua tpi aku x setuju, mmg btul kenyataan mcm udare sejuk lg tumpat drpd udara panas, tpi kenyataan bile udara panas yg nk kuar drpd ps x pg mner2 disebabkn udara sejuk sekeliling suppress udara pnas tu mmg x betul, it just doesnt add up, klu aircond system leh wat udara panas jd sejuk so x kan udara sejuk xleh cooldown ps3 nye system drpd normal operating temp klu x psang aircond?
so from my understanding when cool air past down to the heatsink, the cool energy will drawn to heatsink thus the hot energy from the heatsink will be pick up by the cool air that past through it...so the more cold the air that past through the ps3 the more heat will dispense thus lower the operating temp
so for anyone who experience wierd syptom of the ps3 which the fan kick highspeed even thou u place in it a cool enviroment, nevermind no worries, it make ur system more cool, but then the fact tht ur fan kick highspeed is somewhat i might say hardware faulty
ps: heheh sori nyet ni bkan tujuan utk flamed ko...cume nk make things clearer, but klu aku slah bole jgak sesape nk btulkn ahahaha smile.gif

hahaha...nama dah diskusi xper nie laa nama nyer perbentangan... laugh.gif

yup betoi 80G & 40G <2008 model pakai chipset yg sama, sori laa klo assumption aku nie wat korg paranoid, haku pun pakai model tu gak masa kena YLoD... cry.gif

yg sebenar nyer citer aku klo ko baca last skali merujuk kepada ventalation kat PS3, klo system ventalation dia ok yes btol mmg udara yg sejuk mmg dapat membantu penyejukan haba masa intake, sbb tu at first aku cakap secara objektif, explanation secara subjektif tu la yg merumus kebarangkalian assumption aku sekiranye udara panas terkumpul & xdpt flow out ngan berkesan, klo buh dlm peti sejuk pun mmg xdak guna disebabkn penjanaan haba yg berterusan sweat.gif tgok klo tgh mlm kita tido then selimut ngan blanket apa jd? panaskan itu disebabkn haba yg dijana oleh badan kita tidak meruap keluar sejuk camner tun tetap panas coz badan kita menjana haba yg berterusan jgn mati lemas dlm blanket tu udah lerw sweat.gif

besh nih rclxms.gif

NEXT sweat.gif

Good i thought it's already a piece of rubbish if it encounter YLOD. Looks like it still can sell a good price eh?

well i might consider to sell my 40GB YLOD unit and buy MY Slim later. As we know no matter how many times you revive it might break down again..better sold it and get a new one. At least not pay in full amount to repurchase a new one..

Now i will only wait MY Slim to be release coz i'm more concern on warranty matter. Even if it already expire, i can still send back to official sony here and get a refurbish unit. icon_rolleyes.gif

Quickly launch la, MY Slim cool2.gif Hope it will be price btw range of RM1100 - 1300.

as i dissected the phat ps3 and found that the ventilation holes at the front and side is nt for cold air to go in for the cooling mobo n chip its just ventilation means for the drive and psu(As the cooling fan is located undersection of the console) .Cooling for the CPU n GPU cold air enters from the rear vent holes and hot air is pushed out from the rear vent holes also so if the cooling area is hot meaning cold air entering will bcome hot and hot air is circulating the cooling system thus very hard to drop temp. This from my observation when strippimg my phat ps3 hmm.gif
