PS3 Dead?
 

my ps3 just turned itself off and has a red flashing light. every time i try to turn it back on it turns itself off after a second and flashes red again. i have no idea what to do i havent even heard of this before

Does it flash yellow before flashing red or just completely flashes red and then turns itself off.

it goes yellow then red

your ps3 has got ylod = yellow light of death , read up about how to fix it ,

not every ylod is gfx related or about the connection.

different corrupt regions in flash also could cause ylod. i would try first a flasher and look at the nand/nor, before doing ANY reflow.

You can temporarily fix it by baking the motherboard.

It's such a stupid thing to do or tell someone to do.

Is that actually something people try?

If it flashes yellow then red, you got yellow light of death. Read this: http://www.ps3hax.net/showthread.php...145#post102145 Not sure it will help you that much though.
