Hi guys! (Puts on Xbox 360 Flame Shield)

I dont know if this scenario has occured but, when I turn on my PS3, the green light shows up with the blue light and then immediately blinks the red light. Like as soon as i turn it on, it flashes blue and green by both indicators, and then after 3 seconds, it flashes red.

I dont know if this means YLOD, and ive tried turning off the power switch on the back and it still dosent do anything. The cables we had before which was hdmi, was our standard connection.

Any Solutions or why it is doing that?

Thanks!

Update: Someone gave my PS3 farewells on the playstation forums, but i really need to confirm if it is actually dead.

I don't know all the possible PS3 problems (only RSOD and YLOD).

Which firmware were you on ?
If it was up to 3.50, you could always try to run Service mode to reinstall current firmware/downgrade. (That will format and delete everything though)
You need either a Jailbreak dongle, or a PSfreedom/PSgroove compatible device.

I think RSOD can be unbricked using this method. I don't know about other bricks.


PS : I just got a virus while searching Rsod info on google. be careful if you do the same.

The only other way If your totaly hopeless is to send it to sony, but they ask for like 150 bucks to fix it...

    @K3Nv2 Snow Day is pretty fun. My only bitch would be the camera controls, when you move around, say down, you have to move the right stick left or right to get camera to turn and get your view, other than that I like it so far.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    From what people say pvp isn't even worth it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just been playing offline, and they give you a few bots here n there on your team to help battle. I don't think it's as funny as the other games tho, more battle oriented than humor, which kinda sucks, but I'm still early in it
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, doesnt the game have a campaign mode?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, and co-op, but you can also start a pvp session and battle just with friends. You get special skill cards (powers) the more you play. And higher value cards, but you can only enable so many cards at a time.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If you can find enough for it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Toilet paper is considered the money, you collect and buy stuff with TP, kinda funny. Graphics are def better than the other games tho, I think they used Unity 5 engine.

    I bet most people at the time still watched it in black and white

    @Xdqwerty, Many of them did before colour television was common.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Likely because black and white TV was in-expensive.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It certainly wasn't inexpensive it cost the same as a new car back then
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    How much did a 1965 color TV cost?

    For example, a 21-inch (diagonal) GE color television in 1965 had an advertised price of $499, which is equal to $4,724 in today's dollars, according to the federal government's inflation calculator.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @K3Nv2, take into consideration how economy was back then
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah that's why they listed inflation rates
