Red light flickering on ps3

what happens when you ps3 keeps on turning itself off, shows a small yellow light and then starts flickering a red light.

Why does it does it do this and what should i do?

yeah i have tried to open it....

all the screws are out but i cant get the top off where you put the disc in.

there is prob a lot of dust in it TBH as it was on the carpet for a few days.

i do now have a new on which i am yet to turn on so hopefully that one works

if you want to get the disk out do this:

- Hold the eject button and do not let go
- turn the power off and on while still holding the eject button
- keep holding the eject button while the ps3 gets the cd out. it should blow a lot of air everywhere

cool i will try that....

does that release the disk drive too or just blow the dust out???

it releases the disk. dust will fly out but i dont think it would fix your problem lol
