my 60gb pops like that right when i turn it on.sounds like the plastic expanding,after 2 seconds it quits and i have played it for hours with no problem.i have it vertical from day 1,because that was the general census and that is how sony promoted it,heat rises and vents are on top.
call sony ,they will charge the 150 up front to a credit card..then ship you a box by ups to mail back your ps3...inside the box is a questionaire you fill out telling everything wrong,disc or no disc...if you dont specify to keep the existing ps3 they will send you a refurbished one ,looks brand new.. about 5 day turnaround total...if you need to keep the hard drive or the same exact model i think it may take 2 or 3 weeks,i had to send a unit in for repair for a friend and had it back in 1 week,new refurbished model,just like store bought.and people say once you get it repaired they havent had problems since.the people i talk to at sony were really nice on the phone also.good luck
