(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I was in the middle of playing a backed up game of fallout new Vegas on my ps3 when it suddenly shut off and started blinking red. Whenever I try to turn it on it goes to green, then blinks yellow, back to green and then just keeps blinking red again. I research it a bit and found removing and putting the hard drive back in would fix it, but I had no luck with that. I called Sony and they told me I could either have it repaired or exchange it for a refurbished model. I do not want to do this since both methods cost in excess of $100. I have a 60 gb CHECHA01 model can anyone please offer any tips on how to resolve this? Thanks.

It may look difficult, but it's pretty simple if you have the tools and follow the directions. :y:
