I've checked the ribbon cable looks ok it stills powers on without the power/eject board and have removed the bd drive and same issue. Do you think it might be earthing out somewhere or my Bluetooth module could be playing up.

Thanks

You put your clients ps3 back together with the power cord plugged in
That doesn't sound safe. LOL.

Hey mate I thought of the same thing but yet the problem still exists I've changed the psu and all lines connected to it. I'll have to strip her down and check solder points and all connections this week sometime.

Thanks

Just letting everyone know it's now fixed. I decided to install 4.31 spoofer and unexpectedly that fixed the problem. Has been shutting down and starting up fine, recovery menu works again thanks to all that suggested and offered fixes
