hello, im a newbie here and i don't play my ps3 too often, however today i tried to play but it just wouldn't turn on. the green light will come on for a bit then make a sound turn yellow then red. i read the trobleshooting section on my book but all it said was that it may be overheated but i have the cooling system hooked up to it sinc the day i got it. i don't know much about the system so please any info will be appreciated. thanks.

You need to take the PS3 in for service

To be honest, this is the first thing I have heard of a PS3 having this kind of error. I am sure some have it, but nobody I know has had this problem.

If you have a cooling system u bought from a 3rd party try removing it and only use just the PS3 console and make sure there is plenty space for it to breathe. What model do u have 40gig??

I have heard of 3rd party cooling systems actually causing the PS3 to overheat.

^^ yea, this happend to my dads ps3

Have to took it out then? And like myzz617 said give it some space after you done that. If that doesn't/didn't work tell us.

Ring Sony, they are nice to help.

I have never worked on a PS3, but it is not unusual for internal power supplies to fail... Is it?
