Hi Iv been reading through this looking at possible Fix's for my PS3. I have an Originaly PS3 80g(with a 120g Harddrive installed) That Just Last night Started to Shut down and Blink Red while playing GT5. So far what I have done is clear all the vents using Compressed Gas, and Vancuuming to get as much dust as possible out. I also have removed the Harddrive and Dusted in there aswell trying to do my best to follow the solutions I found here http://www.articlesbase.com/electronics-articles/dealing-with-a-ps3-blinking-red-light-1678489.html Now this is my Question, If this Proceeds to Effect me is it possble to be Fixed by a Thirds Party even tho it is a Really Old Model PS3? I really dont think that Sony will fix it since they do not make the Phat moddles anymore and Would like to double check before Bothering waiting on hold for Ages just to get a "no we dont fix those anymore"
