Morning All,
Last night I installed System Software v2.53 on my 80GB PS3. All went well, but when it came time to reboot the PS3 didn't recover. Instead it very quickly showed an amber light, produced a triple beep and then started flashing red.
After some Googling it seems that this is terminal, non of the "Press the power button for 5 seconds" tricks work. I've tried removing the HDD but it still doesn't get any further. Sigh.
So, I phoned Sony and they said it was "overheating". My arse, it's clearly related to a bad firmware update of some sort. They offered me an exchange with a refurbished unit. This really isn't something I want to do, why should I swap my (admittedly broken) mint PS3 for some smeggy refurb unit?
So, I'm going to try and return it to Gamestation. I still have the receipt but I bought it in August (when the 80GB was release). What do you think my changes are of getting them to swap it for a new one?
Cheers.
