Hey everyone,

My Playstation 3 stopped working today randomally. Let me give you some background on it before I talk more about my problem.

I bought the Playstation 3 from a close friend of mine for Christmas of this year for cheap, since he became a fan of Xbox 360 (I know...I know). The system is a 60GB backwards compatible model, one of the originals. I know for a fact he did not abuse the system and such, since I was there all the time when he was playing it. So, now about the problem.

I have the latest update for the system and such. So I was playing Rock Band 2, drums and the screen randomly froze and the song being played (Carry on My Wayward Son) was repeating. I tried to restart it, and it did not respond. So I turned off the unit on the back, and turned it back on. The system restarted but nothing showed up on the screen and when I tried to activate the controller the lights just kept flashing. So I pushed the eject button and the disc came out, and I could put it back in. But the system won't display anything on my TV and will not sync with the controllers. I already tried doing a hard reset and such, but it did not work. So if you could help me that would be amazing!!
