(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); My ps3 just got bricked not to long ago. Is it the hard drive thats messed up or the actual console? Could i replace the hard drive and get it unbricked?

You will have to give more info than that for a decent answer.

What firmware were you on?
Did you try to downgrade?
Why do you think it is bricked?
ETC,ETC,ETC

When you go to power it up does it just beep 3 times and shut off?

Have you tried re-installing the firmware from recovery? That should re-write VSH and correct your problem.

You aren't really bricked.

Rebug 4.21.2 just like you had before. If all goes well then I would suggest you update to Rebug 4.30 and enabling QA before trying to enable Rebug mode again.
