• Brand New PS3 Doesn't Work
    20 replies, posted
Just got home after getting a slim 120gb ps3 from my brother for christmas. I set it up exactly as the manual says, but it doesn't work. When i try turning it on, the light is green for about 3 seconds, flashes yellow for a second, then it goes and stays at a flashing red light. Could someone tell me what's wrong? I just took it out of the box and hooked it up. It shouldn't even be messed up... Facepunch, what's wrong?
Sounds like hardware malfunction, could have been damaged during shipping, just return it for a new one.
Get a refund.

If it's not plugged in directly to the outlet, try that. Sounds like it could be that it isn't getting enough power.

You'll get your money back, or a new PS3, don't worry.

Dude, there are laws preventing the stores to sell hardware that does not work. You will get a new one, i'm pretty sure about that.

I thought my ps3 was broken when i first plugged it in but it turned out i had to hold the power button for like 5 seconds from it being off until it beeped again so it would connect via HDMI, just a thought.

Do not try fixing it yourself, this invalidates the warranty and your get out of jail free card for it being borked.
Got it replaced on.. Sunday? Yeah, sunday. New one works.
Glad to hear it Enjoy !^^
Also, you should totally get Uncharted 2.

Yellow light indicates a hardware error.
