Ps3 Slim - Flashing red light!?
After fixing a ylod on 2 fat Ps3's a few times I finally give up and bought a 120gb ps3 slim....But now that's giving me a flashing red light after about a minute of game-play!
Luckily I have friend with the another working slim (both out of warranty) who let me borrow a few components for testing (so when I say 'new', I mean 'borrowed'). Here's where I'm at now....
1.) Tried service menu> Rebuild database
2.) Cleaned fan and vents with air can (they were pretty clean anyways)
3.) Tried new PSU
4.) Tried new cooling fan
5.) Tried new hdd
...But still it boots for about a minute then crashes with flashing red light...Does this mean another knackered motherboard? Does anyone know of any guides/videos out there for helping with my problem?
Please tell me I dont have to get that bastard heatgun out again :(
Cheers Guys!
@racer15: Because I'm low on funds, because Ps3 was out of warranty before I opened it and also, I just like to see things get fixed. Do you buy a new car everytime it breaks down...?
@Kiki: Soz, should have worded it a little better. I mean It's been running fine for about yr and a half but NOW it only stays on for a minute or so. Cheers tho.

if the thing was "broken" like you said it is since the buying of it,you should go to the store that sold it to you and say them that the ps3 they gave you,is broken.just explain it to them,im sure they'll understand
