PS3 Red Blinking Light? - Why it Happens and the Options You Have to Fix it!

The PS3 is an awesome gaming console and it doesn't suffer from as many problems as the Xbox 360, however that said some gamers are experiencing something called the PS3 red blinking light and it is causing problems.

This error actually happens because of overheating on the motherboard when the main chips in your console that are called the GPU and the CPU overheat they shut down to prevent damage to the system.

Unfortunately this means that you can no longer play your games and you will need to find some way of repairing your console.

You can of course take precautions to cool your console down but ultimately this may not change much because it is internal overheating that is causing the error.

The options are to send it back in and they will repair it for you at the factory, this is a very good choice and the only downside as I can see is the waiting time and the fact that you may have to pay the repair bill of $150!

Of course if you want to take the matter into your own hands you can use a good PS3 Repair guide, and what you will find surprising is the hardest thing about this is making sure that you get a good YLOD Repair guide.

There are a few different ones out there and the fix itself can be completed with household items so it's not too difficult. However if you are not very technical or do not like gadgets it can pay to make sure that you get a good guide that will show you with video how to complete the fix.

This will leave no room for error, or at least minimise the risk of you making a mistake!

Also make sure that it comes with a full guarantee, a fix for all of the errors and some sort of preview so you can actually see what you're getting beforehand.

There is a lot of stigma associated with console repair guides but to be honest having looked through quite a few they are no different than any other DIY guide and as long as you make sure you get a good one you should be fine!

I hope this article has explained how you can get rid of the ps3 red blinking light and some of the quickest methods to do so.

Happy gaming!
