3 Beeps and a Shutdown - How to Fix it
A common problem many PS3s face is beeping 3 times then randomly shutting down. Watching your PS3 faced with such a seemingly severe problem can be disheartening, but luckily it can be easily fixed.
When your PS3 beeps 3 times it simply means your PS3 isn’t running properly, which can be easily corrected by following the steps below. If the steps below don’t fix the problem then continue to read for alternative methods for fixing the problem.
1) Unplug Everything From The PS3
Sometimes the beeps occur because something is only half-plugged in, causing a running error. Take out and then plug back in the following:
- The Hard drive
- Ethernet cable
- Video and audio cables
- Any other cables other than the power cable
2) Send The PS3 To Sony
If the beeping persists you may be tempted to send the PS3 back to Sony to have it fixed for you. This isn’t the smartest option, and has many downsides. It will cost you $150 to have it fixed by Sony, not to mention all your data will be wiped out, and it may take up to 6 weeks to get your system back. Luckily, this isn’t the only option to choose after the first fails.
3) Fix The 3 Beeps Yourself
The best and cheapest alternative to sending in your PS3 is to fix it yourself. The benefits of doing it yourself are:
- You don’t need to pay $150 to do it
- No waiting time, you do it yourself when it’s most convenient for you
- 100% Safe
- Very easy to do
- All data previously on your PS3 can be recovered
The 3rd option is guaranteed to work and will have your PS3 running great in no time. To follow through with this option simply visit PS3LIGHTSFIX.com!
