We have tried unplugging it, turning it off at the switch ont he back, leaving it overnight and still not working this morning. My son is devestated as it is his birthday next week and he has friends coming round to play on the PS3 with him. Can anyone please help?! Many thanks in anticipation. Diane

You can do this fan test.
Turn the mains switch off, hold the eject button.
While holding it, turn the mains on, when the power light is green, release it, it will beep
The fan will operate at the highest speed possible and will eject any disc that is inside.
After about 15 seconds the fan will stop spinning and the ps3 will beep 3 times and blink a red light.
When this happens, turn the mains off and on then turn it on normally.
Tell me how this goes!!
P.S. It will not harm your ps3.
