PS3 Trouble

[LSIGRAD09]

When the system is off, try holding down the power button (on the front) until you hear the first beep.. then let go and see what happens.

Thanks, I'll try that.

Not sure what the yellow light is, no. But I think you're right.



Thanks dude, sounds right to me.

The yellow light of death is the PS3 version or the red ring of death from the xbox.

Most commonly caused from hardware failure, dust, liquid spill,etc.

Check playstations support site.

My :2cents: is it's dead, if you still wanna play PS3 upgrade. You could ask support about it, but last I heard, they stopped support on the old PS3's and only works on PSP and slims.(the last I heard)

Have you ever had the yellow light of death?

Unfortunately it sounds dead to me. If you call support they'll probably let you pay to upgrade to a new console.

Hey guys, I know some of you have PS3s out there, so you might be able to help.

My PS3 is from about 2007, or 2008, I can't remember. However, when I came home for spring break, I plugged it in, and it is not working.

I tried the red white and yellow hookup, and didn't get anything. I plugged in an HDMI cable, and got nothing either. The controller turns on, the system turns on, but I notice it hot air is coming out very quickly.

I've tried it on 3 different TVs, but no dice. Any ideas, or is it finally gone?

Any info/help/advice is much appreciated! Thanks!
