Well good news, folks! There’s now a solution for that problem, thanks to he who goes by the name Gilksy1. If you check out the attached PDF file, you’ll see that the procedure is actually very similar to how you would handle an RROD (that is, if you do own an Xbox 360 as well).

We don’t see any PS3 price cuts coming at any time soon, so might as well don’t commit PS3 harakiri.
