PS3 Won't stay turned on

**20phileagles** · 09-03-2010,01:47 PM

My PS3 turns on as soon as i flip the switch in the back. It turns green and stays on for a few seconds, beeps and blinks green again, beeps and then shuts down and stays red.

I've tried to get it in recovery mode but that don't work either.

sounds like a short somewhere have you opened it any time etc?

anything out of ordinary for this to happen?

**20phileagles** · 09-03-2010,02:22 PM

Yeah, it had YLOD, I reflowed it and now this. I have done LOTS of reflows and never had this happen. If a power supply is bad, will I get any lights at all??

Thanks alot for your help. It was the data cable on the power switch. It had a cut in it.

Yeah, if you have a bad power supply it will give you the same symptoms as YLOD.I bought one from ebay (a power supply) and it fix my problem.

Yea it sounded like a stuck power button down. Was this a 60gb, 20gb or one of the 80gb backwards compatible models? Cause if so I guess you're lucky that the power/eject button is it's own little piece and not built into the motherboard like all of the rest of the revisions.
