I just opened the HDD thingy and the HDD is extremely hot!!!Do u think this is the problem?IfI let itcool down is there any possibility it will "heal"?

Always a reminder never keep a PS3 on the floor. That is what kills most of them.

Have you tried fixing it through the recovery menu thingy? im sure you can do it through that

no wonder the ps3 forum is beatin the 360s, we have YLOD thread everyday. i truely am sorry for ur ps3 and u cant play it cuz its dead, but honestly wat u expect us to do? callin sony is ur only option. if ur ps3 wont turn on u think askin one of us here will help? wat we going to do pick out magic sticks adn put em together and do some sort of prayin or somethin like harry potter and bring it back? well hope ui get it fixed. good luckJoKeR_421

Harsh.

If you pull up the 360 forum the first you thing you see is related to the system breaking. And as you scroll down you just see more and more. I'm betting their forums have twice if notmore threads about broken system woes. I mean come on, Microsoft made it...

Tried that,but my PS3 does start up but it slooowlyy freezes...U know what I mean?eg It starts up and in 5-15 secs it freezes:(It's a matter of time...

nah,I'm pretty sure Its a general system FAIL,not just the HDD....I took out the HDD,it started up and it happened again:(

Option 1: send it in to sony and get a replacement,

Option 2: buy a heat gun, crack it open (and void all warranty) and follow a YLOD fix tutorial and cross your fingers it doesn't turn your console into a doorstop.

As usual theres a daily topic on this. Mine was yesterday and now you get to pick up the mantle =)

nevermind I will just send it to SONY :)It's the easiest way....and THX for the help guys:)

Just call sony so they can help you. Dont be a fool and mess around with it yourself. And next time let your ps3 get proper ventilation when playing it.
