So I was playing cod4 this morning and BAM... all of a sudden the PS3 just shuts down. So I turned it off from behind and started it up again... green light came up and a second later the Yellow light and then the Red light kept blinking - the Disc wouldn't even come out - any suggestions? Please help... Thanks so much.

So how did you fix yours? called Sony? - You guys think I'd have to send it in for service or troubleshoot it myself on the phone?

Flip the back switch, when u see the red light come on HOLD the button for 3 beeps until it turns back to red, then HOLD again for 3 beeps, but the last beep will be 2 beeps, then some options will come up, try REBUILD DATABASE to see if that will work, if not, u may have to wipe everything out to get it to work again

No need to thank to me so much.... there`s plenty of me to go around.

On another, completely un-boron is so awesome ness note, do you still have the warranty:question: If not, you still need to go to a sony store and have it examined. I`m guessing that if this is a manu. defect, they will give you a new one, otherwise repairs can be 180 to 200 dollars (guess).

Okay guys... Here's the happy update! Found out that the fix by sony costs $150 excluding shipping and stuff and tax - so I did some research and there's this thing called YOUTUBE lolszzz - Showed me how to fix it myself, and after three afters of being a PS3 Doctor, I opened the whole thing up, heated it up, and put it back together and got it working!! Thanks for the suggestions though - Peace!! Im back playing COD4 again!!
