Hey well today I got putting my ps3 together and when i plugged it in i don't get a red light for stand by. I'm using all my parts from my CECH-2101a console on my CECH-2001a console besides the heatsink. Could it possibly be from the power board being a different model?

That's exactly why, the power/eject board is different between 2001 and 2101 ps3's. I only know this because i tried it. You'll need the correct board to match your motherboard.

Okay you think my psu and dvd drive and all that other crap will be fine?

Would you be willing to sell me a power board?

I think they are the same, but not 100% sure. I can find out if you need though.

if your controller is still synced you should be able to start the ps3 with the controller , with or without a power/eject board.

anyway this works on the fat ps3's, i guess the slim is no different.

mate you need to find a on/off and eject board for a 120gb/250gb model. The 160gb/320gb ones do not work and just show a red light.

Check ebay. If it was the other way round I could have sent you one, I have a spare 160gb/320gb board.

I know you probably already did this, but make sure everything is plugged in. Psu cables, power/eject ribbon, etc...
