    Hello there, I've got an annoying problem to deal with..

    So I bought this cheap superslim PS3 (cech-4004c with four.82 system) from a guy afterward testing it : everything worked fine. I took it, launched it one time I came dorsum home, discovered the features, changed some settings, started looking for a way to jailbreak it... until information technology crashed when I wasn't looking.

    No lights were turned on at all, equally if it was unplugged. I pressed the ability button, the crimson light came. Pressed again, the green light came and the panel booted. Fine... until 1h later, when information technology crashed again. I restarted information technology the same way. However, when it happened the third time, information technology simply couldn't kick : firsthand crash 3 seconds subsequently turning the console on (from cerise light to light-green).

    This guy seems to have the same problem as me :


    Could information technology be considering of the PSU ? Thanks for your attention, I'd be glad to know how to fix this.

    Alright. I've read many times that it could also be the motherboard, and if information technology was the case, I'd exist f*cked... Hopefully information technology isn't, and fortunately at that place are a agglomeration of superslim ability supplies being sold on Aliexpress from safe-looking sellers.
    Thanks for the answer, I'll order the PSU and wait for it to be delivered (can accept a whole month though), and I'll keep yous in touch.

    It sounds similar I have the same problem with a super slim I take... Plug the console in, ruddy light... press start, then it turns greenish and 2 seconds later it goes dark, equally if there is no power. Press the power again, and the ruby-red light appears... I can repeat that over and over with no change...

    I happen to have a working console, so I changed the power supply over, thinking that was the problem...

    It inverse nothing.

    Might not be the aforementioned problem, but it sounds identical. Just thought I'd permit you know you might be wasting your $$$

    I accept accessed the syscon chip and gotten the fault codes from the console, but unfortunately no-one has answered my mail service requesting assistance finding out what the codes mean, then... yep...

    A short on the motherboard can cause this. If a short is detected the PSU switches off all the power as a safety feature i guess. Wifi/Bluetooth module failure seems to exist a common on slims/SS and volition cause this. I experienced a similar problem recently, detailed hither...

    Hold on.. And then basically, irresolute the PSU would have very few chances of working, and the true cause of the problem would actually be a short acquired by the bluetooth/wifi modules ?

    Oh no... oh god no, I hope it'southward not the case. I don't have any soldering tools and I don't even know how to solder things (particularly when they're, like, 1mm small)... :cold:

    Simply I truly don't understand : why did this short happen ? Information technology worked well before, and co-ordinate to the guy who sold it to me for 50 bucks (controller included), information technology worked well since he got it in 2013. No Bluetooth or Wifi issues at all. I even updated the organization from 4.82 to iv.86 via usb (with the official update files from Sony website's 2020 archive) without issues. Did I only get struck by bad luck ?

    There is a possibility that the PSU is at mistake. You lot would demand to diagnose/trace the error yourself as per the start two videos on my post.

    It's unlikely you'd manage to exercise anything with a soldering iron on the motherboard. What you would need is a hot air rework station or something similar, even then you would demand a fair bit of skill/patience to carry out a successful repair.

    Your console is coming up to 10 years old and unfortunately nothing lasts forever. From my limited research, bluetooth/wifi module faults seem to exist a fairly mutual, perhaps it's becoming more mutual every bit peoples consoles historic period, IDK. At the same time PSUs are known to neglect besides and then the fault really needs to exist properly diagnosed before a repair can be carried out.

    Seems like your console had the same bug I'1000 dealing with.... Did you always bypass the brusque and at least get your console to function?

    Ok guys, so fortunately I have a friend of mine who works in the electricity field (not stuff as advanced equally micro-electronics though), I chosen him then that we can diagnose the PSU.

    We took the PSU out of the ps3 and opened it. He said he didn't see whatsoever shortcut symptoms (i.east black-ish color on the board). Nosotros plugged the psu in and he took his multimeter, he checked for the AV input: it's OK. He checked for the DC output that goes in the console... nothing.
    I realized that we tested the PSU alone, without it being on the panel. And so I plugged the pocket-size cable located next to the blueray driver (see moving picture with the red arrow, non mine), and we checked over again, this fourth dimension past launching the console : when it starts (LED goes from red to green), we suddenly get a 12V indicate on the output, merely it immediately turns off.
    No idea what information technology means, but I judge I'grand merely gonna look for the PSU to be shipped (gonna accept a while).

    Oh, and I tried (by pure despair) to start the console with the bluetooth and WLAN connectors underneath the PSU disconnected : not working. Is it good news ?

    I'm trying to source a hot air rework station so I tin can hopefully effort and remove the short from the lath and enable it to kicking. I will update my post once I have done this.

    I'll be very interested to meet how you get... I exercise have a hot air station I bought to alter out Tokin caps, but I'm not experienced enough to track downwardly shorts... Only I might get courageous and give it a go if you have a win with yours... I had actually seen the "my mate vince" vids you posted... it was super interesting to watch them again, given how similar the problem is to his... I do note he never followed up on that vid though...

    Well, the HDD was the first affair I checked. I tried booting without it, and fifty-fifty formatted it to FAT32 only in case (I know, it'due south useless, only why not, out of pure despair). However doesn't works ! :(

    Aye, its a shame he hasn't done a follow up video even so.

    I plan to first remove the voltage adjuster and see if that removes the short. From what I understand this regulates the voltage into the wifi/bluetooth module from 5v to one.8v. Failure causes too higher voltage to be supplied to the wifi module causing it to fail/short.

    In theory removing this power supply should remove the short hopefully enabling the panel to kick. Although I will never be able to use the wifi or bluetooth or update the console (which doesn't bother me).

    I will update my mail service when I get around to doing it.

    Whatever update on this? My 2000a slim beeps and turns off on cold kick. I have to endeavor like 30 times until information technology boots up usually. Then it's fine. I turn off. Turn on and it's fine. Turn on after one-half hour...fine. Leave it overnight. Cherry-red lite. Is this the same event as we discussions here with wifi module etc? Or bad power supply?

    In my case, there is no beep, the console but powers completely off... Doesn't audio similar the aforementioned thing, but I'm certainly no expert... Information technology does audio like from your description that peradventure there is a capacitor in your power supply that is on it'due south concluding legs... That's the only thing I can remember that MIGHT fit what yous accept described here... The other guys here will probably take a better thought of what'due south going on than I do, otherwise it might exist worth starting a thread of your own to try and get more info before you look at replacing the power supply and mayhap wasting your $$$... The obvious test is to have a friend with a slim console and swap out the power supply, see if that resolves the problem...

    @Jarod A , buddy try to kicking without hdd. Bad hdd can be 1 of many reasons for this.

    @klein1876 in ur case, it might be a bad solder joint or nec tokins peradventure

    Thank you for the answer... I actually gave that a go already, only information technology was no joy unfortunately... In that location's no doubt the main board has a short in my case, so I think I know what's going on there...

    my instance is weird. On cold boot, i go a greenish low-cal, cipher on screen, and then beeps subsequently similar 40 seconds and shuts downward. any subseqent power upwardly leads to a 2-3 second ylod. I keep trying and somewhen the console boots and runs no problem. I turn off, try again half hour later, normal on first try. I leave for half dozen-7 hours, and the wheel repeats. I thought it was the power supply, so I have a slime 2000b with a working power supply. Boots on first tyr no problem. I put that power supple in the 2000a (with the weird cold boot) and same thing. I took the 2000a questionable power supply and put it in the 2000b and that worked fine. So i am ruling out a bad power supply. Could it be a bad ability plug? I might try switching out the power plug. Besides its not the hdd. The other theory of it being the nec tokins...doesnt boot until the necs get enough charge later multiple tries. I dumped the syscon tho and it doesnt indicate necs. I am going to try the power plug bandy, and if not, i will wait and common cold boot, outset ylod ill dump the codes and see what happens.
