Step 1: Check Your Console One of the
biggest causes of the blinking red light problem is placing the console
with the fan vents sitting against the floor or up against a wall where
air cannot flow freely in and out of the console.
So, start by
checking your console and making sure those fans are not blocked off.
If you notice a lot of dust on the console, clean it off right away.
Once you fix the blinking red light of your ps3 and your console is
working again, you will want to keep the vents clean and unobstructed.
Step 2: Test the Hard Drive Now,
find the hard drive on the side of your console and remove it. Wait a
few seconds and replace it. In some cases this may fix PS3 red light.
If you still see the blinking red light, there is a chance you have
more substantial damage inside your unit. It could possibly be a
problem with overheating which causes problems with the motherboard,
especially if you had your console on the floor or up against a wall.
Step 3: Unplug The
last in-home remedy to fix PS3 red light blinking is to unplug the
console from the wall for about half an hour and then plug it back in.
This doesn't always work, but some people have had success with
problems other than overheating. If it doesn't work, then you have more
substantial damage to your console motherboard.
Yet, that doesn't mean the console is useless! Continue on to find a permanent solution to the problem.
