not sure if I shld post here, but had this prob just now :-
1. started my PS3, the light was green
2. couple sec later, heard d "beep" sound... 3-4 times. then, red light blinking
3. pressed d on/off again. red light stop blinking
4. started my PS3 again, same thing happened (1-3)
5. tried holding d on/off for few sec, went 2 d display setup (I think that's wat u called it)
6. re-setup the display and sound again
7. off d PS3 and on again. seems 2 b ok......
just wondering, is this a symptom of something? mine's a 2-year plus PS3. casual gamer. thx

QUOTE(shahreza2000 @ Aug 21 2010, 02:40 PM) its a symptom of ylod.. what model is it? QUOTE(jedi_dc @ Aug 21 2010, 02:44 PM) seems that ur PS3 might be overheating.. Does it go extremely loud ( turbo fan ) during ur games? if it does, its a sign that u should change ur thermal paste inside. Or else u might have permanent YLOD.  Or maybe u placed ur ps3 in a area with little ventilation? CECHH06 model it happened d minute I start it up, so, dun think it's overheating. no turbo fan either. but I do heard some noise ard the hdd.... mayb d noise was always there just that I didn't notice it. there was even once when I just started up, successfully got into a game, seconds later, it auto shut down. so far, it happened once. note that all these prob happen when I had just started my PS3. as for ventilation wise.... my PS3 is placed at d same place for 2 years, y now?? |

my 2yr+ PS3 is officially ylod  dun kill me if the following questions were asked bfor as I've searched the term "ylod" and am still missing some details : 1. found out in d forum that setting deep video color to off under display setting wld possibly help. true? 2. is it worth getting it fix or buying a new slim wld b better? I guess it is true dat phat PS3 life span is ard 2yr+ until u get ylod |

QUOTE(ajis @ Aug 22 2010, 08:28 PM) 1. nope. nothing to do with the display setting can fix ylod 2. sadly, once got ylod consider getting a new one, send for repair only if you want deactivate your psn id sorry to hear that btw wat do u mean by "deactivate psn id"? let's say if I bought a new slim and restore from my backup, I wld still be using my existing psn id, right? thx |

QUOTE(ajis @ Aug 23 2010, 12:05 AM) nope. I believe restore using hdd data transfer doesn't count restoring psn id, even so you need to repair first your faulty console to use this method if you bought any DLCs by your own or share with your friend, then you need to deactivate first. Do keep in mind that max per-use and share for one psn id is 5 correct me if I'm wrong but data transfer and restore is basically 2 diff options, right? when I swapped my new hdd in, I used restore and everything, including psn id will be there. and miraculously, I was able 2 get in my PS3 yesterday and successfully perform backup  and no, my PS3 is basically very "empty". dun hv any DLC wan anyway, thx again  This post has been edited by ffSeeD: Aug 23 2010, 07:45 PM |
