ps3 blinking red light help.

blinking red light. help any fix for this. my wife and son were watching madagascar 2 when it just turned of and it started to blink red.

I tried to turn it on and off and it goes from green to yellow to red. I have in a very well ventelated area. and mostly use it to watch movies.

May have to call Sony my man ..

Yep, $149+tax to get it fixed. I'm tempted to just purchase a power supply and try swapping it out myself. I've read that a lot of times the magnetic relay switch goes out and that's what causes a lot of the failures. I do hear a loud click from the power supply area when I try to boot it up just before it shuts back down, so hopefully that will fix the problem. If not, I'll just send it in. I'm already past my warranty anyways.caseystryker

there's alot of success stories with heating the GPU with a blow dryer or heat gun. well with fixing the YLOD anyways. i dunno about your problem.

I've been seeing a lot of posts about YLOD's lately. Is this only an issue with the 60GB model of the PS3?

Has this ever happened to someone who has a PS3 other than the 60GB model?
