Hello everyone!

No, but PS3 is not dead.

This is a friends PS3. It's the original 60GB model.

Problem is as follows, according to him: He was watching a movie, when all of a sudden the console shuts down by itself. He then proceeds to turn on the unit manually (touch button) when it starts to "boot" but then immediately turns red, blinking red with three consecutive fast beeps. It continues to blink endlessly after this.

What could be causing the problem? It's not the HDD, as he took it out and the same thing occurs.

Are they any free FAQs about this?

Thanks!
