60 gig launch console just died :-(

[zomble]

My 60 gig ps3 that i got as soon as it launched has just given up on live and turned off and flashed a red light.



Is there anyway to fix this ?



if not buying a new one i have no issue with, as long as i can get my save games back.



If i take the hd out of my dead ps3 and plug it into a computer and backup all the files will i be able to plug it into the usb port on a new ps3 and copy my save games onto it?



And all my PS+ files do i just have to re download those?



aaannnddd my sleeping dogs disc is still in this PS3, i read that if youhold down eject and turn it on and tap eject the disc should spit out, it dosnt do that for me

It's fixable. But I don't usually hear about it spontaneously giving rlod. I think it's ylod. Either way, they're both fixable.

but this fix will only last long enough for you to get your data backed up !!!!!!!

REMEMBER TO FOLLOW THE GUIDE TO THE T OR YOU WILL DO MORE DAMAGE THAN GOOD

i would advise you to look for somewhere that dose professional re-ball with leaded solder for an added bonus / perm fix

all in all your going to either have to get it re-balled / re flowed or get a new ps3 ..... good luck
