Help with my playstation 3?

May be...

Ive just tried to turn it on and it then beeps once and a yellow light appears, then the console turns itself off again. I've heard that this may be caused by overheating so I left the thing outside for a few minutes (desperate times call for desperate measures :P) until it was cold then I tried again and the same thing happens.



Anyone know what may have caused this as I have no clue :(

You should contact sony for help here is there website

Have you tried accessing the PS3's recovery mode?



Turn the console off at the back switch for a few minutes. Then switch it on from the back, then hold the Power button until you hear a second beep. If your PS3 is completely stuffed it probably won't do this, but there's a chance it might let you into the recovery menu which will let you do a format or System Restore and hopefully get your machine running again.

ive heard that to fix that problem you have to take out the hard drive and put it back in like 4 or 5 times and it will work again. this hasnt happened to me and i never tried it but it doesnt hurt to try it

put it somewhere in your house after it cold. Wait a day then try it out. If it dont work, rest it to it default factory setting By pressing the power button for 3-5 second untill you hear like 3 beeps.

Leave it for a few hours, just because you left it outside doesn't the core is cold, it's probably still boiling

Leave it in a very cool room without the heating system on the window opened for a full day or two...then u can try again. It often needs some rest like a human being...
