PS3 Stopped working

Please can anyone answer why the ps3 has stopped working, It isn't mine, my sisters, she said after her husband played black ops, if you try and play any game on it now it just freezes

Is it the older fat model? They seem to be dropping like flies at the moment.

I've heard re-flowing the motherboard can proove success if it is indeed a hardware issue. However, it may be an issue with the file system - perhaps looking into rebuilding this would be worth a look.

This could help; http://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=34809384&f=34

Good news!

I also have the older fat playstation but have noticed the number of ones with "Yellow Light of Death" is increasing quicker by the day!

Good news on yours though.
