The last of us has finally put and end to my playstationn.
The game has been sending the fan on my PS3 into overdrive and last night it finally stopped working. I have the original release day 60ghz (upgaded HDD ) Ps3 and its a wonder its lasted this long. I had a search and it seems to be the RLOD fault . The PS3 powers up then the red light just blinks.
I cant get my last of us disk out, having followed instructions to hold the eject button in while turning on the power, still nothing.
I've just found a T10 bit to open it up and i'm hoping a hairdryer rather than a heat gun might be hot enough to fix it . Just looking for a full youtube vid that is easy to follow.
I will probably put the original HDD back in when I get it running and just keep it for sentimental value when its working again as I dont know if the "Fix" is permanent or just a temporary cure.
My son says I can just use his PS3 as he never plays on it, and I might start selling stuff on eBay to fund a Ps4.
I've also had a problem with our fridge freezer over the weekend, it is half the temp that it should be, -12 degrees freezer and 10 degrees on the fridge. This might be a bit trickier but probably more important to fix than the PS3.
