since some mentioned you need a connected power/eject board on newer slims, then i guess a bad connection can shut the ps3 down?

Underneath the Blue Ray drive is where it's connected. And I have a JTP-001. Lol not that new it's the 2010 model.

Just when you take the BR(Blue ray) out it pops the power bar off(Not the connection the bar.

The connection (A ribbon like the E3 flasher connector) is underneath the BR.
