Personally I use the as it allows me to plug in different types of hard drives and it is very cheap. Hi all, this is my first post on the forum and I am looking for some advice please! Continue to hold the Power button and after about another 5 seconds you will hear a quick double beep. The power supply looks great. When it goes off blank , if I press again on the power button it becomes red again, and when I press it becomes green with a beep for 2 second, and does the same process over again. Best then to contact your local PlayStation Support Centre for further advice. Most pastes will come in an easy to use syringe.
This means you will not be able to transfer your saves via the back up utility. I tried keeping it pressed, but nothing happens. You will now see the Safe Mode menu. It seems to start up normally when next switched on. Blow off each part with compressed air, and use a safe alcohol cleaning solution to rub down the parts you're comfortable with.
It seems I've been having a very similar problem. The most obvious and likely thing from here is the psu died, but maybe it was something else. If not, does anyone know of a workaround? After 15 seconds the whole thing shut down again and back to red flashing light! While its generally a straightforward approach to cleaning out the dust, you will immediately violate your warranty by opening up your console to attempt repairs yourself. Tutorials are all over YouTube for changing it. Hi Everyone, Currently working through a flashing red light of death error on start up. The description that you have provided is an indicator of a hardware fault with the console.
I have reset the video, and also tried to get into Safe Mode, but it never outputs on the multi-av port. You want perfect contact between the chips and the heat sink so the heat is transferred efficiently. Remove it very carefully due to how heavy it is and set aside. Still does the same thing. Once you are at the inner workings of the system take a can of compressed air and start to dust the system carefully.
Before the green light disappears, switch the power off at the back. Sony reckoned exactly as mentioned, dead internal component or after I mentioned the fan software crash. Thank you for your help! You may need to do this twice. Be careful not scratch the chips. No smell or any other noticable effect when the machine died? Should you run into a ditch or really just hate talking to Sony, then here are some fixes below for common and strange problems.
I hope this isn't a bad sign. This should be your first priority! I also managed to secure a 12 month warranty this time so I'm feeling relatively secure that all will be well either way. I'm having withdrawls and I'm starting to get easy movement back in my thumbs and fingers! Wat caused this whole problem was I cut into the fan wires and was hooking up a fan controller and I think I fried something. Follow steps if you run into this problem. I've tore it down to the mother board and nothing is wrong. If you have any question or need more detail information,welcome to contact me without hesitating,i will do my best to do better for you.
It is okay to be able to hear it, but your should not sound like an engine. Green light comes on, you can load and eject a disc but it doesn't display anything no sound either. Call your local Playstation support centre and see what can be done, thats your best bet. It never passes the point of 2 seconds. But here's another thing that happens. You could try just unpluging then hold down the power button for 30 seconds, sometimes electronics build up a static charge. The problem When I connect my power cord, the red Colour comes up as normal.
A wide variety of red ps3 super slim options are available to you, such as hdmi, website hdtv. I torqued down the screws a little tighter than i probably should have, but it fixed it. Well this is your problem! Consider replacing the fan if this is the case. Purchase a high quality thermal paste comprised mainly of silver, copper, and gold. When the machine first turns on you can hear the fan ramp up for about 2 seconds then slow down and that is about it. I did this 2 or 3 times and surprisingly the whole unit came back to life and ejected the disc! My ps3 slim 160 gb started freezing then it got worst and worst then one day it just shut down and there was no light. I tried cleaning it too, and I removed the back part and cleaned it carefully, didn't do any difference.
The cheaper the thermal paste, the less likely it will hold up for a long period of time. To remove them, there are instructions. If you don't, don't stress. Blowing compressed air is often enough, but if you want to take it one step further use a cleaning alcohol on a swab. You helped me fix my daughters ps3! If one of the options work, do not continue onto the other options. Got my new slim last week.
