i have tried loose cables - unplugged and re plugged everything a few times now.. :(

Isnt there a way to reset them holding buttons down or something? All the connections in right?

I know on the 360 if the cables are loose at the back it gives a smaller RROD.

HD failure?

Well the day has finally come - My release day PS3 appears to be dead. Im not sure what the problem is, there does not seem to be much info on the web appart from ylod stuff..

Anyways, i popped out to get some bacon this morning, came back and my PS3 had turned itself off, turned it on, it then crashed and turned off leaving the red standby light flashing. Keeps doing it so i think its goosed.

Anyone got any info on what may be wrong with it? Im hoping its repairable as i cannot be arsed with loosing 4 years worth of data etc..

Not a good start to the day and not happy as kick ass is out on bluray tommorow and i wanted to get it!! :(
