Blinking Red Light On Ps3 by chinig(m): 7:26pm On Sep 24, 2012
I'm in a very big dilemma with 2 of my ps3.initially it started with one of the ps3.when I tried to switch it oN,it ll show the Green light for 1sec and start blinking the red light.

I took it to a repairer and the dude told me that's the problem with big ps3,issue of red light i̶̲̥̅̊s there problem and there i̶̲̥̅̊s no solution.
I was told to get the slim one whenever I want to buy,but for now I don't have the money for it now.

Now my other ps3 i̶̲̥̅̊s now having the same problem.

I can't stay without playing my ps3 for a day,its just like my BB.
Please NL,what do I do?

Check there to know what really happened to your console, and it can be repaired if u get a good repairer.

Hmm....well, that's a familiar problem. If u are in d habit of shutting off ur ps3 abruptly u are very succeptible to this problem. What u can do is this. Hold the power button for about 10secs to do a hard reboot. If dat didn't work then unplug all devices attached to ur console and repeat step one. In addition try taking out the hard disk and reseting the console without the disk. You should hear two beeps If it works at this point u can simply replace the hard disk with a laptop hard disk. If all fails then SCREAM OUT LOUD.

I also got a playstation3 fat wit fault,each time i power it on it shows d green light & within 2secondz it shows red & refusess 2 inject a disc plate,though it got no hard disk in it,so i had 2 take it to a friend of mine dat deals wit gamez & he told me d plain truth,he said if it were 2 b another person,dat he would wrk/repair it 4 dat person & collect his money,but after 3-5weekz of repair,dat d game would still develope d same fault...he said dat d fault is frm d panel/board & dat nobody in Nigeria can fix dat problem permanently unless u change d panel/board completely...ps3 is jst a fautly & mistakely made game,but if u've repaired urz dat has similar fault as mine & itz wrkin fine plz contact me on...08161341235 or 08073771412.

The scenario if I'm correct is that it also blinks yellow light before it powers off, if it does then its the yellow light of death syndrome and sorry to say no solution. Had the same problem with mine as far as 2009, even if u fix it, it wud still come back later. Over heating is the cause and the chip inside the game has shut down automatically to prevent damage to it. If its not being repaired by sony, my advice is to trow it away and get a slim version that runs cooler.
