Ok, so this is a shot in the dark but I'm hoping someone can help me fix my PS3, even though I'm assuming it's deader than dead. I've never had an issue with it until last night I popped in a Blu-Ray and the screen went black and froze up. Unable to turn it off (or put it to sleep) via the power button in front, I had no choice but to turn it off by the switch in back. Since then, when I turn it on, if I get any picture at all it is completely distorted and pixelated to the point where it just looks like static and becomes almost completely unresponsive. I've double-checked the connection to my tv and tried it on a different tv with the same results. I tried putting it into Safe Mode several times and it either turns on with no picture or sound or again the screen is so garbled I can't tell what's going on. The one time I was successful getting it into Safe Mode with a picture that was distorted but coherent, it completely froze up at the screen where it tells you to plug in a controller with a USB and hit the PS button. The controller just blinked and wouldn't assign a slot or do anything. I realize that realistically it may be completely dead but any suggestions? Please?
