Playstation 3 60 Gb model won't switch on

I have same problem with 60 Gb Playstation 3 model, less than two years old, used only at weekends. Green light comes on for a few seconds, followed by a yellow light and then a red light. Console appears dead. I have read about this "yellow light of death" which is common with the 60 Gb console. Please help

Hi my name is Juan and I do fix and sell playstations3's so I do know your problem better than any body here the main problem you have is similar to the xbox360 red ring of dead so for now your ps3 is dead no way to turn it on but we have a fix for this problem the only bad part of this is that is done with a special system that is controlled by computer so not every one can do this like the xbox360 ps3 is more complicated in order to get your system up and running we need to have the motherboard or the completed ps3 to reflow the graphics chip some of the connections under the chip are not making good contact and this problem was cause by excessive heat so your ps3 needs to be open and the motherboard needs reflow and new thermal compound to dissipated the heat better there is some guys on ebay they do this type of job there I only sale parts and ps3's on ebay I don't offer this service on ebay but I do have the system to do it so if you like to see your system running again let me know I am located in Georgia

Why won't my camera won't read the sd card I'm using?

8 gB is SDHC. Try less than 4 gB maybe even 256 mB to see if it will read those cards. But lately, all stores only sell HC cards. Try ebay, and they may charge an arm and a leg for old cards?

Screen won't light up

If your phone screen won't light up then you will need to take the phone into to a repair store unless your phone is less than a year old. All cellphones have a manufacturer's warranty or if you have insurance on the phone. If its less than a year old then take it to your provider in the store because it falls under lg to fix/replace your phone.

I have a sony playstation 3 model # cechho1 that shut down,when i hit the power botton lights go green yellow then blinks red how dow i fix it

yellow light means your ps3 is wrecked $40 dollars or $50 to fix at the flea market if your ps3 is around 2 or more years old i would suggest buying a new one because the laser will probaly burn out soon

Th ps3 light comes on green then goes to orange then red and switches off

I'm very sorry to say, but your PS3 is history. I believe Sony will replace it for $150 if it's out of warranty or free if it's less then a year old. I would cal them to check.
Thank you.

Ps3 after switch on 2,3 seconds later it switchs off

i have exactly the same problem. have been in touch with playstation themselves they say it is either motherboard or one of the other major parts in the playstation. my ps3 is 2 years old now (out of waranty) playstastion said that if i can provide proof of purchase they will exchange it free of charge even though it is a year over its warranty date. if you cant find your proof they will replace it for £150.

playstation tel. 08705998877 goodluck

Games will not load

Phone sony, there numbers in warranty book. If its under a year old they will fix it free of charge, if not its gonna cost you. Thousands of people are having this problem, i'm onto my 6th ps3 now, but because ive had each one less than 3 mths they keep replacing it with another one and another 3 months warranty, On the last one i got they didn't have a 60 gb one so they just replaced it with a 80 gb one.

Monitor turns on then off quickly

From your description of the issue, the LCD and or hte inverter has failed. If less than a year old, contact Princeton Digital for warranty repair, if outside 1 year, it is likely cheaper to replace than repair

Hideous Color

Still working on it. The weekends are my best bet as I have little time to concentrate after work.
Thank you and I will let you know.
