are the disks damaged in any way ?

If not , im afraid its not a virus , your PS3 had come to the end of the road :mad:

There are no known Viruses for PS3 or Xbox or the likes considering the fact that the virus writer would have to own an SDK for each console to be able to develop one and then would have to get either Sony or Microsoft to sign the code... which would never happen.

You sound like you're getting symptoms of a precursor to the Yellow Light of Death I'm afraid.

Is it a launch model by any chance?

darraghwalsh100 · 16-05-2010 10:57PM

its not a launch model and its only about a year old its the slim. . . so basicaly i have to get a new ps3

darraghwalsh100 · 16-05-2010 10:58PM

if the games are not damaged and the PS3 has no sound/freezing its YROD

You might still be under warranty though

darraghwalsh100 · 16-05-2010 11:25PM

ok i hope it can be fixed instead of getting a new one

darraghwalsh100 · 16-05-2010 11:44PM

Same thing happined to mine before it stopped working. Think it was the bluray lens.

BROD

Blue Ray of Death

I had the same problem. It'll cost you 80-100 euro to get if fixed unless you do it yourself. Guides on how fix it are on Youtube.

try a factory reset also, before you go ringing sony

I think there would be no harm moving this thread to the Playstation forum as it is not specifically MW2 related.

More people would have experience of a similar problem and might be able to recommend a repair company etc.
