My PS3 died yesterday !! I was playing FIFA World Cup 2010, when suddenly the game froze and the controller didn't work nor did it switch when using the touch-sensitive power button. So I had to use the back power switch to turn it off which I did. However. when I turned it back on, it worked but all I got was a black screen with no sound, and the controller also didn't connect when I pressed the PS button. However, I could eject and insert CD's normally. Last but not least, the PS wouldn't be switched off when using the touch-sensitive power button. So I was wondering if any other unlucky person had this problem, and was wondering as to what might be the solution to such a predicament.. Thank You for your help in advance

Check your cables then try again. But hold the touch sensitive button when u turn it on next time and see if that works. If still nothing your screwed. ;o)

If it does the same thing on yours with the light it's toast.

You can't eject discs if it gets the Yellow Light.

Thank god, it doesn't flash yellow and I can still eject/insert CD's The problem is that I get a black screen, hear absolutely nothing, and I can't press the power button at the front (not the one at the back) so I have to press the switch at the back to turn it back off. And yes I have checked my cables more than once.. It still doesn't come on.

I got the exact same thing a year-and-a-half ago. The only way to go about it is to use your argumentative skills and chase the situation up and hope for the best. I did so, and got a free, refurbished PS3 as a result. Otherwise, I don't think the situation is looking bright for you, buddy.
