I have a slim 160gb. It was working fine until yesterday when i turned it on, the green light turned off after only 1 second, shutting the console down. Every time i turn it on, the green light switches off automatically, when i press the power button, it shows the standby red light, but when i press the power button again, it does the above mentioned thing. I dont know what kind of problem it is because it doesn't even get ready to boot. Anyone know about whats wrong with it? Help would be much appreciated.

Today when i turned i on, it started but after shutting it down and again starting it, the same problem happened. I think its having a power fault or something.

Got 40GB NTSC/J PS3, The problem is whenever i switch on my ps3 (when it is cold), it switches on with green light after 3-4 secs approx three beeps one brief glimps of yellow light then flashing red light keeps going on. and when i touch the power button it becomes steady red light. i have to do this 2-5 times maybe just once and then my ps3 switches on normally and i keep on playing for hours without any problem (Also to mention my ps3 never turned off by itself during gameplay --> usually as people say due to over heat). My ps3 never showed flashing red light during game play as i switched off my ps3 whenever its fan picks up max speed.
Does anyone of you guys facing this problem???

Bumping this old thread.. Need expert opinion guys..
I am facing a problem.. Exactly same as this guy..
I am facing a problem.. Exactly same as this guy..
Even I booted my PS3 after about three months.. and facing the exact same problem.. I know that HDMI port issues are very common in PS3 but the thing is it detects the HDMI port and running perfectly on 480p.. Though the screen gets blank if I choose to switch to 720p.. So is my HDMI port busted?Originally Posted by Lebowski
I hadn't used my PS3 for about three months and when I tried starting it a few days back, it didn't give any display. So I did a hard reset and the usual screen showed up asking if I want to use the HDMI output. When I I select yes, the screen goes blank and nothing happens. If I select not to use the HDMI, I still do not get any display but I can hear the startup sound and if I use my controller, I could also hear the menu sounds. I have tried both the options quite a few number of times with the same result. Sometimes when the screen asking if I want to use the HDMI output shows up, it is very spotty and there is tearing.
I have tried using a different HDMI cable. I even tried it on a different TV with a different HDMI cable but got the same result. I also unplugged all the wires and then put them back in.
Are there any other troubleshooting tips before I take my PS3 to a hardware guy?
My PS3 is n CFW 3.55

It has a worst rating on Steam than last years MW3 now. Jeese Sony, how can you fuck it up THIS BAD

faraany3k:
I have heard that it is now unplayable in countries which do not support handful of third world countries not recognized by Sony like Pakistan. Steam is a true global platform.Then they cry that console gaming is dying. -
