PS3 Problems? (Yellow light)?

Question

Try to turn on the system it turns green then some sort of yellow and finally blinks red. Ive had it for a few months and even though it is within the warranty it doesn't cover accidents because it fell from a table then this whole thing started. Also there is a game stuck in there what can I do to fix this and can I send it in to sony to fix it even though it isn't in the warranty? If there is no way to fix it can I get the game out somehow?

Answer 1

Do you get the three beep death? because if so, you broke your hard drive AND disc drive.

Answer 2

I think that means that it over heated.

If it is cooled down, try replacing the Hard Drive. Call sony costumer support.

Answer 3

I am pretty sure it is the hard drive, all you need to do is get a new hard drive.

Answer 4

yeah i reccomend replacing the HDD, if you have a laptop from somewhere with a 2.5 inch drive temporaily switch drives to see if thats the problem, if its not you may have to go to a game repair shop, or Sony. I reccomend trying the HDD switch first, but if its over 100$ to fix, i would go with a new system.

there only about 399 now or so. but still try it out.

hoped i helped a bit.

i replaced my HDD with my dads old HDD from a laptop, an old compac computer
