Hey guys, I have the fat PS3 80gb, after plugging the E3 flasher and playing with it about 3 times, when ever I boot the ps3 now, its starting the "fan -test" and shuts it self automatically. then the red light just blink untill i un plug the power cable. when i plug it in and start, its just doing the fan test again. wtf am i doing wrong?!

[Mr.Dutch]

i have no experience with flashers at all, but is the e3 still connected? , it needs wires soldered right?, nothing wrong with one of those?

maybe there's a short somewhere on the board?

ok, to be honost i have no idea yet, just trying to help.

take off the top of your ps3 once again . and turn it on like that. seems you have your eject button jammed ive done this

if that's the case he could pull out the cable to the on/off eject board, and start the ps3 with the controller to test this.

, all he has to do is start it without the top on , there are little metal things on the power/eject board . if you look it should look like an upside down L these are the connectors they could either be bent or broken . if thats the case then he can bend them back to position , get a new board or bypass with ps button on controller i suppose after removing the cable. if they are undameged tho. idk what to to tell you

How do I start the PS3 without the indicator ? it won't start X_X i touched the metal things could I ruin them?

look where the power and eject buttons are . there should be 2 little upside down L things. arer they bant any other way ? just simply touch the L where the power button was. if it keeps doing the fan thing idk what to tell you
