    Default My PS3 finally died :(

    Got home from work and I get the flashing red light, fuck! Shitty news was its the backwards compatible 80gb model. Google said it's a hard drive failure, I'm gonna try a new hd and see if that works. Any other beyonders have this problem? Being as boxing day is coming up I might just buy a new one, any deals?

    Mine broke earlier this week, same model too except I got the YLOD.
    If you think it is the hard drive, take yours out and turn it on and see if it works or not.

    looks like i'm going to have to get a new one, tried turning on without hd, with new hd, no luck. I opened it up and it was really dusty so it looks like it over heated.

    nope no luck, oh well 3.5 years served me well.

    Is there a difference between the 120 gb and the 160 gb besides hd size?

    If you try to turn it on with out a HDD what would happen if the HDD was the issue? I have a 60gb model that has the flashing yellow then it shuts off right away. I tried formatting the HDD but it didn't do anything. I haven't tried to start it with no HDD in it though...

But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.

    The flashing red is just a general warning sign, could be your hard drive, could be your fan etc
