RE: My PS3
DON'T GIVE UP HOPE....My son's PS3 (fat 80gb model ) did the same thing.

To fix it I tried cleaning it out, hooking up my PC power supply to the PS3 to rule out overheating/bad power supply.
Neither was the problem....So I bought a heat gun set it to low and reflowed the chips (40 seconds each on low heat 750F).

THAT was the solution it now LIVES again.

If you have never reflowed a board then there are plenty of tutorials on the web for doing this to the PS3.
The most difficult part is the stripdown and putting back together of the PS3.

The chips solder getting cracks and needing to be reflowed seem to be the main cause of PS3 failure. Luckily it is EASILY fixable.

RE: My PS3
my 60gb died (YLOD)
this year as well
on 03/15/2010
i sent to to Sony to get replaced ($180)
i got my replacement on
03/29/2010

Sony will send a different PS3 to you, SO the data on the HDD is GONE
PSP 1.5 got on USA first day is was 1.5 till  Xmas 2006 now 4.01 M33 » 5.00 M33-6(with the 1.50 addon)
It a good idea to have "Hide extensions  for known file types" in Folder Options(under Tool) unchecked (turn on extensions)
READ THE README.TXT
got a Refurbished 60gb PS3 FW:3.41 on 01/20/2008

RE: My PS3
they've given me the options

£131 for a new console

i can get another 60GB console, or a 160GB console without BC, only 2 USB ports and no SACD playback or chrome trim ;_;

i think the 60GB, seeing as i can just upgrade the HDD anyway

RE: My PS3
Wish i could get a 60GB for $169 (USD). Your unlucky and lucky at the same time, i'd rather have that PHAT model than my PHAT model (the 80GB).
