My serviced ps3 which i have had for only 7 months has stop reading bluray,dvds,cds, ect. I am really frustrated and pissed at the same time because the console that i sent in was working fine, but i thought it was not working propertly because the tech agent told me it wasn't and need to be serviced. i found out later when i received my console that my console was fine. I didn't want to go through the hassel of getting my console back, so i kept this console and now it screwed me over. I have called sony and i have to pay 150 to replace it which is nuts because they sent me this console that broke on me. Why do i really want to replace this console for another refurbished console that will screw up on me in another 7 months? This is ridiculous because my ps2 is 11 years old and is still running like I bought it yeasterday, you see where i am coming from?
I would get this werid horizontal line in my SD TV that was clear in color, when i would play my ps3 games. They couldn't figure out what the problem was so they said "send it in", so i did because i didn't want to have anything wrong with my console. Because i used my hard earned money to pay for it and i knew i had warranty at the time.
Because I was curious to see if the problem was bad enough to merit rejecting your original console. I would have requested mine back rather than sticking with a refurbished replacement. Sounded more like a cable issue than anything, but I'm sure you tried different cables since that's pretty much the first thing anyone should have tried.
All I can say is you should of sent back the loaner console and got yours back. If the sent you a loaner they have probably shipped it to several people before you. It's probably been through hell.
Oh well, we learn from our mistakes. Send in the loaner and take a refurbished model. Most likely it will be the last time you have to do it.

that has to do with the noise in ur power lines running through ur house. like when ur washer turns on i bet your lights dim for a sec and your tv flickers just a bit. you could have fixed that with a power cleaner. i had this problem when i watched dvds

Refering to your example: I'm not quite sure his problem, but how is that resulting from current draw? If it was... It would only happen for a short duration of time, and then it should go back to normal. The reason your lights dim for a sec and flickers is due to the fact when you turn something that is motorized on, it draws more current from your circuit line for a short duration of time to get it started (it takes more current to get it started then to keep it going)... so it should revert back to normal after a little bit if your example was true... which your example has nothing to do with power line noise... it's just physics of circuitry.
