    when I plug in the ps3 and hit the switch in the back it beeps 3 times and the red light keeps flashing. What could be wrong with this? I can't even hit the power button in the front to get a solid red light.

    Thanks for replying. No It's not YLod, I don't need to hit the power button as soon as the power cord is in and the switch in the back is turned on it goes solid for less then a second and then beeps three times and then the lights keep flashing

    FYI, ylod doesn't always flash the yellow light. Sometimes it's just red that flashes. But your symptoms might mean it's the power supply.
