Keep everything! Keep the receipts! Throw nothing away. Second, if you're getting a launch console, keep the box, packaging, etc. If you wait, then it becomes a question of 'why did you wait so long?' It just makes it easier to prove your point if you bring it in as soon as possible. i wanted to let you guys over at QJ.net because i couldnt find a fix anywere and maybe if you post this ill end up helping someone else.įinally, can we give two pieces of advice? If you're PS3's busted, take care of it right away - ask to get it fixed or replaced NOW. I repeated the steps and checked to see it the game would work now, and it did! im currently useing my ps3 to write this. i booted up a game and the same damn red flashing light came back on. then i put the HD back in and turned it on. heres the interesting thing i found a ''fix'', all i did was take out the hard disk, and turn it on to get my game out. I did some searching on the web and found nothing but 360 had the same problem. after trying to turn it on for about 1/2 an hour i realized that it wasnt going to turn on. Hey yesterday i woke up to bad news, i turned on my ps3 by the swich in the back and about 2 seconds later it beeped three times and the red light started flashing. just thought that id give u guys a heads up, to help anyone else out there with the same problem.Īnd just in case we didn't get the news right the first time, we got another email from MXACE a while later: ive been playing ever since and it seems to be working fine. I took out the hard disk and booted it up again turned it off and put the hard disk back in. i booted up the game and boom it turned off beeped 3 times and the light flashed red onece again. i then wanted to play resistance fall of man. i took the hard drive out and turned it on, and to my amazement it work i dont know how, but it worked. I decided that i would take the matter into my own hands. after about 1/2 an hour of trying to turn it on i search a fix on google, but came up empty handed.

I wondered wut it meant, searched it on google and found some pretty bad news.

Hey, today a woke up to a red flashing light on my ps3. And please, don't take matters into your own hands to the point that you'll ruin your warranty. We're not sure how it works (we're not even sure it's a real fix), and we're not telling you to do the same thing. But MXACE got the flashing red light problem - and found a fix. Nobody wants to get the flashing red light on their PS3.

As the YouTube video from Blak06 shows, it kinda really sucks to get a PS3 that won't turn on.
