I was playing my ps3 and it shut off and a red light started blinking?

I am a console guru with untold hours of research as well as do ps3 mods. The ps3 is very easy to work on. All you need to do to fix your ps3 is type Gilksy ps3 on youtube and you will find the complete ps3 ylod repair videos by Gilksy.

All you need is thermal fusion 400 thermal paste by cooler master, its a non curing paste. And Circuit Works CW8400 Non Clean flux, and a heat gun. Type Gilksy flux on youtube for instructions on how to do the fluxing.

ONLY DO THE CPU AND GPU, NO HEAT TREATMENT OR FLUXING ON ANYTHING ELSE! To take good care of your console, play your ps3 for 1 hour, then shut off for 15 minutes to let it cool, and give your eyes a break. Make sure you turn off the power supply switch in the back because even though the ps3 is off, the power supply is still on and it gets hot.

If you want it to never YLOD again, just buy a 110v fan from link depot, and take out the old ps3 fan. My ps3 ylod'd on me about 2 years ago, spent 30$ fixing it myself, and has worked like a champ ever since. Don't spend your money sending out for repairs or reballing, they just ylod again within 3 months.

For first person shooters, be sure to get the eagle eye by penguin united so you can play fps with a keyboard and mouse. Mouse and keyboards work on ps3 without it, just not in games. I have one myself and it works amazingly.

To take good care of your console, play for one hour then turn it off for 15 minutes to cool off and give your eyes a break. Using a High Speed mini-usb cable from Monster will give you much cleaner controller to ps3 communication, and faster controller response. The shorter, the better.

Turn ps smoothing to off in the display options menu I believe. This adds anti-aliasing (smoother edges) to ps2 games, but will degrade the quality of ps3 games. For a screen, go with a 42" plasma by panasonic, its the smallest they make.

Panasonic bought Pioneer's panel technology when they went out of business. Plasmas don't have that screen burn issue any more either. Plasmas have 0.00001ms or something like that pixel response, and true 600hz refresh rate.

(600 pictures per second). The problem with 240hz and 120hz tv's is its all picture processing and creates a fair amount of input lag and unnatural movement. 5ms response tv's are junk, you get a ton of blurring when your looking around in first person shooter games.

If you want a small screen, which would give you a very sharp, crisp picture, get a Samsung 2770FH monitor. They are a 1ms pixel response time monitor, 60hz which is ps3's native output refresh rate, and the reason pixel response is important is because the lower the response time, the sharper the picture stays. I owned one and it was a wonderful screen, and I noticed a big difference between it and the samsung 23" 2ms monitor immediately playing F1 2010.

I played black ops on a friends tv that was a 8ms and it was absolutely terrible, got so blurry trying to aim you couldn't tell what was what. Anywho, hope this helps, get internet that is at least 1 mega byte download speed.

Same thing happened to my ps3... searched on the net and everyone mostly said it was an overheating issue due to dust... some said it was a symptom of a dying ps3... I couldn't accept any of these explanations coz I always kept my ps3 in an open space while playing and when I was done playing I had an enclosed shelf to store my ps3.. after finally reading a free guide on ps3 repairing ( link -http://www.slideshare.net/kendo32pastor/fix-your-ps3-why-to-use-a-ps3-repair-guide ) relax i'm not a geek or guru..i mostly didn't understand lot of stuff in this guide but I found a section in the guide that pointed to red light blinking problem it said that red light blinking problem after sudden shutdown was an internal hard drive issue.. it further said that the hdd was either damaged or the hdd connection had become loose in my case I found that my hard disk had slightly moved down from the ps3 hard drive socket thus creating a loose connection between HDD and PS3.. so then I removed my hard drive and just put it back firmly inside and since then the random shutdown with beeps and red light had all completely disappeared I was pleasantly surprised that it was a minor issue... hopefully it might work for others as well coz internal hard has the tendency to slip down slightly from ps3 hard drive socket over a period of time I'm using a 80gb fat model..

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
