Unplug it, let it cool down, and check for dust buildup. If that doesn't work, it could be a deeper hardware issue. Time to call support!
Had the same issue with my PS3. Unplug it for 30 minutes, and while you're at it, check and clean the vents to prevent overheating. Worked for me!
Sometimes, it鈥檚 just a power supply issue. Try a different outlet or power strip before jumping to bigger conclusions.
If your PS3 shows a red light, it might be the 'Yellow Light of Death.' You might need to send it in for repair if it's still under warranty.
