Red Flashing lights - How to fix

Hi there

The red flashing lights problem is alomost as big as the Yellow light of death.

What is the Red light flashing problem

This one is self explanitry you know you have this when you turn on your PS3 and and it has red flashing lights and won't come on.

The causes

Ok so with this one its similar to the Yellow light of death Tip when the GPU (display chip) has come away from the motherboard you get the red flashing lights, remeber to try prevent this is to have a very good ventilated PS3 do not keep it in a small space. The heat build up melts the soldering which keeps the GPU connected to the motherboard. once connections is lost you get the red flashing lights.

Solution 1
