Ok, I got my 60Gb PS3 on launch day. 2 days ago, I was about to play rock band 2 and bam, it stopped, the red light was flashing. I was just starting it, so I don't think it's due to overheat. It's in a pretty wide area, where there's plenty of fresh hair. I waited, and tried it back today, to see if the situation had changed, tried to remove de HDD and put it back in. Nothing would do.

So I'm now asking for your help, PS3 owners, to know how to get it back to life without having to pay...

I'm telling it's been 2 days it's not working, if it's overheated at 18C in my appartement, there certainly something wrong in it. Probably nothing to do... :(
