Hey,

Just finished moving my PS3 (to make way for the XB1 :p) and set it up on my desk next to my computer. Along the way I blew some of the dust off the side vents and I have switched from HDMI to Component output but now the console no longer boots! :(

Pressing power it goes Blue/Green for about 4 seconds followed by a flash to orange before emitting 3 short beeps and then blinking a red light at me endlessly :(

A quick google suggests this is down to overheating (erm....no!) or possibly the PSU being dead which I find hard to believe after being moved 20 feet.

Any other known issues that present like this or is the above diagnosis accurate? :(
 
Cheers for the grim sounding advice! :( :)

Fan test definitely works and I managed to get the disc out..

In other utterly random news I turned it on it's side and it started working!? Whatever - I'll take it :p

Backup time tomorrow by the looks of things. Can't afford official repair or replacement after the XB1 though :(
