    sounds like ylod mate, there is guides on here how to fix it, or have a look at yotube, plenty on there also, but dont try the hairdryer trick or anyother trick , if your gonna fix try and do it properly it might last longer afterwards

      i done the hairdryer thing a few weeks back and it didnt work. just melted the back of my ps3 LOL.

      i had to look up a youtube vid on how to eject my game as it lasted around 2 secs when powered up before turning off again. glad to say i got my copy of black ops out
