Have you tried ringing Sony? Surely a helpline with professionals would be better suited than here .

Thats my two cents anyway, seeing as I haven't got a clue what might be wrong..

Mine had a problem like that a while ago and it was just coz it was too hot!! Overworking the poor thing. Just make sure it can breathe alright and be really nice to it

It only effects afew Ps3 100% most of them you can fix by doing the fan tests which also resinks the over heating levels and can sort it out do this by:


- Turn the power switch to the "off" possition on the back of the console

- Then hold your finger on the eject button

- Whilst still holding the eject button flip the switch to the "on" position on the back of the console

Sometimes you need to turn it off at the back of the Ps3

Also after this there will be a red flashing light, just turn the ps3 of at the back again and back on and in 75% of cases this will be fixed
