Hey Mr D I'm having this problem on my 80gb fat right now, could use a lil nudge in right direction.

Here is what it does :

your problem looks a bit like the ylod thing.

do you hear the fan turn on?, if not then check if the 12v from the power supply comes alive.

the easiest way to check this is from the bluray 4 pins power connector.

black=12V
grey=0V
grey=0V
grey=5V

i also have had problems turning slims on. fats are much easier...take them to mcdonalds,let them order large fries and the works...then whisper i love you in their ear...always turns em on.

i think you have the classic ylod, before you are thinking about heatgun/oventrick or reballing you could try this alternative method (using washers) , havent tested it myself but hey you never know.

Thanx bud I will look into that. I took ps3 apart and pulled the MB and looks like paste is almost gone and dried up. Some of the solder points are cracked. So if this trick wont work looks like its guna be a 80-100$ bill fix for my launch ps3 :-(

Looks like only way out for me is reballing >_<

if you are looking for a permanent fix yes, heatgun/oven is temp fix.

Yeah permanent is what I'm looking for ^_^

Guna cost 80-125$ but worth it to correct Sony's mistakes

@Mr.Dutch

Nvm on price, pays to do local research on computer repair stores :-)

Found one 20min from home that will reball same day for 35$ and uses lead based solder and Arctic silver paste ^_^

The launch ps3 lives again :-D

if i would knew a person like that in the past i never would have used the heatgun trick, 35$ is really cheap and worth the shot.
