Did Firmware Update 2.50 Crashed My PS3!?

Well I got the update 2.50 yesterday and was playing COD4 for a few hours, it kept dropping out after each match and suddenly my PS3 turned off by itself. I still have that red light of death on my PS3 (flashing red light), tried to factory reset it, turned it off overnight, tried some other things too but none of them worked.

Is it Just me or does anyone else have the same problem? Your reply will be appreciated.

BTW my PS3 is 60GB.

I'm not disputing that you have a problem with your PS3 but I kinda doubt it was the upgrade. i've been playing my PS3 all day with the upgrade and haven't experienced one problem. I have a 60g. That's just me though. I guess we'd have to get input from a lot of people.

My 60 GB PS3 definitely had problems with the update.

it was working fine prior to it. After the download and a resart the screen is black and nothing will come up.

Overheating causes PS3 to auto-shut down... red blinking light that won't allow you to play it 'til it cools off. :roll:GreenGoblin2099

YEP exactly their is no red dot of death only yellow. Did you force restart it?

Try a force. I think you just hold your thumb over the right button for like 10 or 15 seconds, Intill it shuts off, and then restart. Or you may just hold it till it shuts off, not sure? Or if its off, do it till its on "look it up to make sure?" Its something to that extent.

Unfortunatly it will not force restart

The goblin speaks the truth!

The red blinking light is, as already stated, to do with overheating. It happened to a friend of mine and his PS3 never worked afterward so he had to get a replacement.BZSIN
