| Post subject: | PS3 |
... died a couple of days ago, less than a week before Gran Turismo 5. ****. Edit, For the sake of transparency, it's likely my fault. A few weeks ago I upgraded the HDD of my PS3. Two days ago, I put my old drive back in and copied all of my save games etc to a usb stick to transfer. Put the new drive back in and now my PS3 won't turn on anymore. It gets stuck with a blinking red light, no video or audio output at all. Can't even boot into safe mode. I tried putting the original drive back in to see if something had happened to the new one, but it won't even boot with the HDD that I just had in it 5 minutes before! I have no idea what could have happened. Console is out of warranty, so it's either shell out $30 for a guide to fix myself, $150 sending to Sony, or $299 for a new one. Sigh. |

Your XBox felt disgraced by having FIFA played on it, so it lashed out. |

But they aren't even in the same cabinet! I lament FIFA being played on my Xbox as well, but my room mate just got a RRoD for the second time. |

I'll trade your PS3 for my 60" TV that decided to color shift yellow just out of warranty... |

If you are okay with DLP's, replacing a 60" isn't too bad of a dent on the wallet :p |

That's . . . odd. I've honestly never heard of that happening before. Is it a phat PS3 or a Slim? If it's a phat, I'd say cut your losses and get a new Slim. As far as I know, once the warranty goes, the parent company won't do anything to it regardless (unless this has changed), and especially for a discontinued model. |

It's a fat 80gb with BC from the Metal Gear 4 bundle. The only thing I can think of is the system getting shocked somehow, but even that seems unlikely. I don't have a single square foot of carpet in my house and I'm pretty careful about... discharging... any time I open something up. I would be okay with not owning a PS3, but Little Big Planet 2 + my gf mandates I fix this soon. |
