If when you turn the system on it stays on briefly, press the eject button as fast as you can to try and get the game back. Who knows if sony will send you a refurbed system or same one just repaired (meaning adios Ridge Racer 7)...

That sounds like there could be a problem with the power supply in which it would be a good idea to call Sony up. And as far as the game even if they send you another system Sony will send your game back to you (usually a few days after you get your system back). And as far as the disc being damaged there isn't much of a chance of the disc being damaged because the Blu-Ray disc is very hard and very hard to damage.

Are you certain they will send you the game back? I wouldn't risk it...

lol yeah i got that glow....now who's the mastah!

Ok, ill give u an advice: Call or Email SONY, or, take it to the place from where you bought it and ask the person if he/she knows whats up.

There are many reasons why this might happened to you, so there might be ways of fixin it.

GOOD LUCK and I hope you fix it.

Hi coreyb42, I did try your advise that hold the power button for 10 seconds, but still don't work (NO LUCK), i think i have contact SONY for service.

Thank for you advise.

HI GUNpoint, I always eject the disc after playing it, but this time :cry:, I forget to take it out and PS3 can't turn on again.

But THANKS for advise man.

hey guys i've seen alot of flashing light stuff and that means it's overheated but mine has a solid red light and won't turn on at all even by pressing the ps button i've un-plugged everything and tried again but still nothing

someone help!!

Hi damageplanman, my PS3 is flashing red light and auto shut down after I turn on, so I send to SONY, they fix it for me, I think you have to contact SONY service.

Hope this helps. Good Luck.

Did you ever get this fixed?

Did you fix it yourself or did Sony fix it? If Sony fixed it, how much did it cost and how long did it take? Ive got EXACTLY the same problem and im seriously considering going out to buy another ps3 right this second as i have 3 great new games to play!

I hope someone can help with this please,

(1) After I press the PS button, my PS3 will turn on BUT turn off again and the red light flashing,

(2) Then I press the power button, the flashing red light change to red,

(3) So I turn on the PS3, some thing happen again, it turn on by itself and change to flashing red light.

Better make a phone call. email maynot get response.

A flashing red light does not mean its overheated, this happened to my PS3 and I contacted professionals to get a true response. If you get a continuous flashing red light after attempting to switch it on, it means the power supply has defected. The only solution is to take it to a shop for repair or buy a new one.

sounds like it overheated.

I just had this happen as well, I guess it is a defective power supply. I hope that is the case because I have an original 60GB system, and my warranty is out so I guess I gotta pay for it. Oh well, this is my first system to malfunction on me, guess it had to happen at some point.

I have the exact same thing. I haven't been playing my ps3 for 2 months. When I turn it on today, it goes to red light problem. Sucks.

I hope someone can help with this please,

Sorry to break it to ya pall but most likely those are YLOD sintoms. It happened to me also before the (in)famous YLOD appeared. Start saving for a new one
