PS3 just died >:(

[tigersharkdude]

I was playing online and out of nowhere the system cuts off and the power light starts blinking red.........................luckily I just backed up like 2 hours ago

Backstory: OG fat 80gb launch console

Dang man, I'm sorry.

That sucks man, so are you gonna give it a honorable funeral?

Sounds like a power issue, is there enough air to breathe? I thought yellow means its dead, red sounds like it just shutdown for no reason.

Power it back up later when it cools down, make sure the the power connections are firmly seated.

I just unplugged it, turned my ghetto intake and exhaust fan set-up on and will attempt to blow any dust out when I go back up in a bit. If no go, it will be january before I can get a new one

Anybody know how I can find the email address I see to create my psn account?
