I am working on a project, so I ran my ps3 slim without heatsinks several times for testing.At the last test (with heatsinks) I tried to turn the console on but when it turns on (solid green) after a few seconds it shuts off (no lights). When I press the power button again the standby red light comes and when i press it again ps3 repeats the cycle.The same thing happens when i run the ps3 without 12 volt on (only 5 volts) but when I short the ground with the swtich wire on the power suply and hook 12 volts to the fans the fans work with no problem. Also, excuse me for the childish and uninformative title.

give this a try mate


1.With the PS3 in Standby mode (Red light on), press and hold the Start button until you hear a single beep, followed by double beeps.
2.Connect the controller using USB cable and press the PS button on the controller.
3.Now, the system restore screen (or whatever they call it) will come up like this
