If you are one of the not so technically inclined folks, you will need to find a service shop to fix your PS3. Beside overheating and strange LED codes, the initial PS3 systems also had issues with the Blu-Ray drives. While the problem has been repaired in subsequent models, it had to be terribly annoying to people who were the first to get the PS3. Some of the system would be able to play the games, but wouldn't read movies. Other systems were vice versa.
