If you are looking for more information on what causes the PS3 Red Light then this article will help you and tell you why the problem happens and what you can do to get it fixed as quickly as possible.
Firstly the red light on your PS3 is not caused by where you place your console, not normally anyway. It IS caused by overheating but the majority of the heat is internal and the main chips are affected that are called the GPU and the CPU.
To fix the problem you need to stop the heat build up between the GPU and the CPU and you will be able to play without interruption.
To stop the heat you can send it back into the factory but this will cost you $150 and the other thing that you will have to put up with apart from the cost is a long wait with most of the repair work taking about 4 weeks!
This is probably why PS3 Repair guides have seen such a surge in popularity and basically they are guides that have been designed to show you how you can perform the fix form home with a few household items.
The thing that you need to remember about these guides is that you will not know if you are getting a "real" fix, some of them can be very technical and it is a good idea to make sure you get a guarantee before you commit to anything.
However that said, as long as you make sure you talk to the customer service beforehand and you get a satisfactory response and have a full guarantee if successful it can work out a lot quicker than having to wait for the repair work!
