well i take good care of my system but that doesn't change how it is now. i mean i play on a table that is glass and there is nothing block it. i mean my other systems are there but they aren't neck and neck. so i give it a lot of ventatilation. still that is still helpful info. Also I don't care about trophies. They don't mean much to me. I just like to save my savepoints and time from games. i hate to have to start over tahts all.

yeah, you see if i knew what the problem was, i be fine with sending it. i mean i want to send it in but i'm more concern about my files so if i get my same system, thats good but if i have to get a refurbish one, i want to have a way to get the files out of my harddrive.

interesting. yeah, i feel that there is a chance they could jsut repair it. they didn't say they would have to refurbish, i mean they said they weren't sure but wasn't exact. still this is all very helpful information.

can you give me a link to the repair please. thank you.

yeah i know, i'm going to see if i can find someone who could possible quick fix so i can get my files out. thats my concern. Least there is one small bright side, its a good thing that i saved all my files last year in December so not so bad but still trying to see what i can do.

yep YLOD
you can't save your files now
maybe if you can find someone to quick fix it then find a way to back it up
then go out and buy a slim
it's what i did

really i will keep that in mind, still i need to get my game out. i did see about that.

Yeah i figure that and thats why i know i'm not at a lost yet. I did get the enclosure kit and think that might help. I know already that it won't work on computer. I will say it will be a surprise if they fix it and send it back. My only concern is just getting my games file so i can use them. if i have to wait for it to be repaired that fine.

I'm sorry if my question seems off but I am just curious, is there a different with yellow flashing light and red flashing light. Mine is green then it turns yellow, then it starts flashing red. So i take it its the flashing light of red. I know this is bad. I'm trying to figure out a way to keep my files. One thing is the hard drive isn't the factory one, it was a 300 gb seagate so i was able to switch it out so i still have the 300. however, how do i get my files. I haven't sent my ps3 yet and i have to, my strikeforce game is stuck in the system.

Hello everyone, i have i guess what is caleld the flashing red light. that where its green, then yellow, then red flashing. I hear many say the system is dead. I paid for the system to be repaired but have not sent it in yet. I keep hearing how I won't be able to get my saved down. I do have an enclosure kit but i heard that won't work. So I heard about all these repair kits that can fix the problem. Do any of htese work. Also i can't help but wonder if my system will be ok when I get it repaired and won't have to get a new one. I hate to lose all my files. Sorry I'm looking around for a way to save my files. If anyone has any solutions for me, I be happy to hear it. I just don't want to automatically assume I won't be able to get my files. I like to add one thing, when I'm sending them back my system, they are getting the factory hard drive, now the one I use.

There is one small bright side for me, I'm not losing all my games. I put in a new hdd a last year so i transfer all my saved files to a flash disk and then back. I also put all my ps2 stuff on memory cards. Luckily I only played 8 games on my ps3 but still I like to see if I can get them. One of them was FF13 and white knight chronicles.

then i better hope that they can fix my system and not give me a new one. it like are flashing red which means that fan is probably broken or something.
