My PS3 is an 80gb model bought in 2008. So 6 years old. It's had a good run, but I took such good care of it. I kept it dust free (you know what I mean) and well ventilated.

The hard drive does briefly make a weird sound when I turn it on, then the green yellow red light show.

Faaaa!

If the HDD is making a funky noise then is there any chance you could just swap it out to see if its that ?

Here's what gets me. I never made any changes to a PS3 so I don't know.

Isn't the operating system of the PS3 stored on the HDD like how you see an OS installed on a PC? Or is the OS stored separately from the HDD on a console?

HDD will contain all of your saved game/data files. PS3/4 were designed specifically to allow for the swapping out of HDDs.

Had the YLoD a few years ago and had to send it back to Sony to replace my 80GB fat model. Fortunately, I'm a PS+ member so I had my saved data uploaded to the cloud and was able to work from there.

Boot Booter Pure Evil. 930	Posted - 2014.09.28 00:06:00 - [9] - Quote Happened to mine but I was still able to use it for a while. For mine if you tried to turn it on long enough it would eventually work. Once it's on it runs fine. I think there is a way to fix it yourself too, didn't try it though. http://community.us.playstation.com/t5/PlayStation-3-Support/PS3-Red-Blinking-Light-Of-Death-Solution/td-p/40437255 What happened to the repair tool glow? Why won't CCP answer? Conspiracy?
