KZ3 bricked my ps3. Now what?

I have a 60 gb original model that I got 4 years ago.

Just last night, while watching a cutscene on Killzone 3, my ps3 just shut down. Now when I turn it on, it goes green, the fan turns on, and then it starts blinking red.

What should I do? And how do I get my game out?

Turn off the system, put your finger on the eject button and turn it on. The disc should eject.

Its been a while since i handled a PS3 issue cause i traded my old Phat for a Slim. But from what your saying it doesnt sound Bricked. Turns on,then fan kicks,then blinkin red . It sounds more power related than actually the console itself,the worse case scenario is YLOD and thats not what you described.

Best bet is to check some info online,you would do quite a bit of searching but you would find a possible solution,also if you desperately wana take out your disc,just look at video tutorials of how to unscrew the PS3 on youtube,its simple

If im not mistaken the holding the eject button thing only works with the 40 gig and 80 gig, but if you didnt get a yellow light you might just have a bad power supply....maybe, google it....google always knows more

Be graeatfull that it lasted 4 years, and how can you say KZ3 bricked your PS3.If it happened while playing Resistance for example would you say that Resistance bricked your PS3.As for the issue try contacting SONY.Never before heard of this kind of problem.

Got a good running 40gb off a friend, tried the KZ3 demo, caused flashing red lights, tried again later - did the same. The next day when I tried, it got the YLOD. Staying on topic: Probably a heat issue TC, KZ3 is a demanding game that while using 100% SPE usage causes a huge amount of heat, usually not enough for the stock fan to handle. Either get it reflowed/reballed with a fan mod or get a slim.

Its always the game... If you were playing MW2 would you say it bricked your ps3? Or if you were playing your PSP and your PS3 beeped and wouldn't boot up would you say your psp bricked your ps3? JohnF111

don't blame the game. it just happened to break when you were playing that game. id recommend getting in contact with sony, as this isnt a common issue.starwarsjunky

Seen as it has been 4 years, you are out of warranty. But what I could recommend you doing is to reflow your PS3. What I mean by that is by stripping off the case down to the bare motherboard. Grab a heat gun and run it over both the CPU and GPU for a few minutes. That should reflow the solder joints underneath them. If you don't have a heat gun, here is a slightly more risky method but worked wonders for me. The oven fix. Not sure if everyone will agree with this but it has a high success:failure/risk ratio. Check on Youtube.

Make sure you strip all the casing (including the battery) off the motherboard wrap the undersides of the motherboard in foil, preheat the oven to 200C (convert that to F if in US), bake the motherboard in the oven for 10 minutes maximum, let it to cool down for 15 mins. That should have reflowed the ball pins under the chips on the motherboard. Fit all the casing back together and it should work. :)

Same thing as owning any other tools. But then there is always the oven fix which albeit more risky, it works most of the time.

This is my assumption

1. i use power extension this might be the caused, not enough power

2. The fan was too fast to process KZ3 and kicked my ps3
