Thank you for posting. It seems to have fixed my issue for now. My PlayStation was only staying on for 20 minutes max. It has now been on for over 3 hours without shutting off.
i cleaned my ps3 from inside even the power supply a couple months ago (i think i move the 2 potenciometers) and just leave it on my shelf and today i wanted to play something on my console but only get a green light and instantly dies so i get here and my ps3 is now back to life!! you helped me out thank you so much!!
I went through 4 to 5 of the PS3 and mine kept turning off every 5 seconds. I commend you to have the guts to open up the ps3 I'm afraid to even do that. And don't worry if you get bad comments like I've seen, I think your brave to even come on youtube and talk about something that I don't even have the guts to talk about.
Thanks kiddo your the only video that actually worked . Just cuss you didn't know what the correct name of the parts doesn't matter. You fixed the dam thing. Thanks Lil homie
As someone who makes and designs circuit boards for a living, take this advice. Taking the power supply out of the plastic casing and setting it down on the floor can cause damage to the circuitry. Luckily that didn't happen. Almost anything can discharge static electricity. Including the floor and your hands. Most humans can't feel when they discharge static under 2000 volts. Which is plenty to destroy circuit pathways and IC chips. So be careful. And those things your were adjusting look like variable resistors and are set precisely. Adjusting them may temporary fix then problem but may lead to a blown capacitor or transformer. So adjust those at your own risk.
You have to be the most smartest kid with the best solutions. I have no idea if it worked. But I hope you have gone far in life and wish you the best. Ignore the haters. Good on you.
this sh!t works!!!;) I had a ps3 that I thought was done collecting dust,I took it apart yesterday did exactly what was done in vid,when I moved the 2 screw 10 degrees thoo & put back in my ps3 wouldn't get power so I took it back apart adjusted the screws AGAIN...& NOW IT WORKS! no power failures! good vid bro!
yes it worked...no B.S. There's sum type of flaw with that Generation Playstation,If it keeps turning off Do Exactly what the video tells you,Haven't had a Problem with that PlayStation yet Since!
Hahaha what a great video😂 I’m not making fun of him it was really funny when he didn’t know the terminology for the flat head and philips* screw driver but this kid goes right to the point haha and entertaining!
Could be this, could also be a blown capacitor anywhere on the power supply, or failed CPU/GPU contact which requires reballing..or I assume a bunch of other things that produce this symptom. I'm hunting for what it happens to be on old console I found and it's starting to feel pretty pointless without a multimeter. Sony should really learn to use error beep codes, or some other way to communicate exactly what's broken. But thanks for the effort of making a video and I'm glad to see some people have fixed theirs with your help. Btw, you can discharge static from your body by touching a ground. Also, be careful not to touch capacitors, Google what they look like if you don't know, they are those 2 large black things on the power supply for example. Their job is to store charge, the larger they are the more they store generally. The big ones in old TVs could literally kill you.
thanks so much. it helped me alot. my ps3 kept turning off in the middle of my gaming. now i can play a lot longer den 25 mins. a day. thanks sooooooooooooooooooooooooo much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
Guys for those one that didn't work try releasing the power supply first then put it beside then go to the bluray or the hard disk place but be very very careful when you release out the bluray after releasing power supply there will be a big data cable or clips or anything you want to call it under the bluray not on the sides of the power supply it will be coloured white and blue its wide remove it first and plug it again then after that you will find another 2or3 cables or clips or whatever you call it after the big white and blue cable or clips or whatever remove it then plug it again after removing the 2or3 cables or clips or whatever you call it and plugging it shut the ps3 with screwdriver hardly then see results like if it works 😎😎😎
You forgot to mention the t8 star screws by the USB ports, there are either 3 or 4 depending on model, also the two screws that hold the power supply down as well
Oh yeah i probably did because I lost them before making the video which made me forgot about them , thank you for reminding others and reminding myself :D and i hope you enjoyed!
You are savage bro. Thanks so much. My PS3 is like 11 years old with rust and now its fixed. Thanks soo much bro. Its da only console I have (except a PC that will run GTA V at 60 fps 1080p with a GPU that will turn into lava). Thanks again bro, you saved ma life (mostly gaming life). :D
OK like promised here is my feedback!' Seems like my PS3 is a more advanced version. My Power supply did not have the two screws. So I basically couldn't do anything. Thanx for vid anyways. Thumbs up keep up the good work buddy!
To me everything was very clear, I see no reason why people have to criticize him, perhaps if he spoke a lil bit slowly and showed the PS3 working at the end, but any way, it's a five ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ to me.
My ps3 won't show up on my tv.. I tried resetting the input/output while it was connected to my HDMI cable and again with just the av cables and again with both at the same time.. my green light is coming on the yellow hdd lights flash for a few seconds after letting the power button go but still nothing... please help idk what else to do..
All i can say is shame on all you people giving negative comment what if that was your kid that was being mad fun of or being told to kill himself yes this tutorial isn't perfect but at least he is trying to help people in the gaming community the best he can. rather than making fun of what he doesn't know maybe you could offer some advice to help teach him about tools and things maybe the kid lives witha single mother and there is not a father figure around to tech him these things. by the way your doing just fine kid keep up the good work and if you ever need some advice on tools and technical stuff or how to fix anything just let me know. send me a message and ill send you a link to my email or facebook page so long and good bless.
Got a problem with my PS3, it will beep twice and go off after pressing on de power button. Also the red light keeps blinking after that. Please any help?
i did it it worked first but after some time the problem comes again when i took it to the repair guy he said its a mother bord problem not power supply !!!:(
This is not joke. If u increase these screws variable potintiometer, it means u increase the board voltage. And serious damage to your board and gpu. Its is permanently damage
do some fat PlayStations have this issue too? i have a 20 gb fat ps3 and in the middle of gameplay it shuts off. the fans never get loud and the ps3 doesn't get hot. right after it turns off it beeps and blinks a red light. it always does it after a few minutes of gameplay and after it happens i can just turn it off and back on and it works again for a while. i have replaced the heatsink compound with arctic silver 5 and added extra air holes but it made no difference.
Maybe it was Dirty or it was the power supply that was indicating you that it will fail soon and he doesn’t have a fat ps3 he has a slim one ik this comment was from 7 years ago but you should’ve move on to a slim or a PS4 To Be Honest The Fat PS3 Is Difficult to fix because of how is designed since it has all the parts on top of eachother even the power supply and you have to unscrew all the way down just to get to the broken part and is a headache
nice video. fuck the haters. will give you one tip here on the way you handled the circuit board. Doesn't matter how long it has been off for. them capacitors store energy. you can either short the capacitors to make them safe . you might get a spark or simply thing is do not touch the underside of the board. and be careful on the other side as you can get a nasty shock even when it been off. even after days and weeks
If the fuse is broken you can fix it by taking it out and opening it then taking out the wire in there and replacing it with another standard copper wire
Thanks I did this but I screwed the screws wrong way and then it wouldn't come on at all thought it was broken then I took it all apart and tightened the screws all the way now it stays on
Like he said leave the ps3 unplugged before taking it apart. Those two black cylinders are capacitors and store large amounts of charge. If you short them via tiny hands you will get a fucking nasty ass shock
1) The "single sided" screwdriver is a Standard, or "Flat" 2) The "four sided" screwdriver is called a "Phillips" Depending on the PS type you have, You may need Soecialty screwdriver bits, like the Torx tamper proof bits. You can get them from Harbor Freight tools, in a multi pack for about ten dollars.
my PS3 turns off after 2 seconds it was updating but then it messed up my PS3 I never trusted updates everything worked properly before that but when the update finished/installed the darn thing was broken and it was a gift so it's in my brothers bedroom right now and we got all the games it was also jailbroken so do I need a new power supply or new everything csude if I need new I would just buy a new PS3 take out the old messed up stuff and put the new stuff in my old one get it jailbroken again and actually be careful cause I don't know what went wrong?? it was 4:80 Rebug but stuff happend I never got banned too..
This part is broken or something there's no way to fix it unless you replace it. My friend, that's called a fuse. And you can replace it but it requires soldering.
got my ps3 last year was workin good until yesterday when it wanted to start shuttin off so I tried paste replace did nothin then I tried this and it stays on long agian so do this folks i only let it stay on for 2 hours but it wasnt even stayin on 5 mins before it shut off yesterday try this if the paste dont work or get a new supply
I just subscribed you and liked the video i love you i love you i love you i love you it worked for me thank you so much i love you i love you i love you so much
hello I'm going to buy a PS3 slim version after my PS3 super slim 500GB because PS3 slim is way better in almost everything then all other models and I just have one question what is you PS3 model like I mean CECH something like that you can find it buy looking at the buttom.
Which system is this you took apart? I took one apart that looked identical from the outside, but on the inside, it looks nothing like the inside of yours. those 2 circular white pieces you turned to adjust the power source were not even there when I opened it. the one I was working on was the original from 2008. probably 20 or 40 gig I think.
Quick question, where did you learn that this is what the problem was? I mean I understand being a computer hardware technician or knowing somebody who is might lead you to just assume this is the solution, but I'm more or less wondering how you, or whoever figured this out, discovered how many degrees to screw it.
Leboyo56 it’s kinda universal with every console actually like if GameCube powers on and off or your phone does that you gotta do process of elimination which is replacing the battery
I opened my whole ps3 just like u did I have the same version but when I opened I had different set up o didn’t have the two white screws u twisted to make the fix
So that kind of sounds like what my problem is. I was watching Netflix on my PS3 and I take very good care of my PS3. But one day it just shut off and I tried turning it back on and there was a red light and I hit the power button again and it turned green but then a couple seconds later turned off. Can someone tell me what the problem is?
Did it blink red and have a beeping noise? If that happened then it's the red light of death. If that didn't then your fuse is blown. You may have to buy a new power supply.
+321GAMEOVER yea when I try to turn it on it first is red and beeps and shuts off then if I hit it again it is green and stays on for a couple seconds and then shuts off. But if I leave it unplugged for a week and try it goes on normally and will work for a day then craps out again. So I just don't know what to do lol I don't know how to fix this kinda stuff since I always take care of my stuff and it never usually breaks lol
Update i bought new power supply and installed it this one did have the screws but it did not work i could have opened up the new power supply and turn the screws but i decided to return it and send my system to Sony so if your power supply does not have the screws you might as well send it to sony
ok so my ps3 slim can be on 30 minutes, 1 hour or 3 hours then turns off, no red lights and wont revive for hours, i have to unplug and plug back for it to revive, is this a PSU issue i am having?
3:27 wtf I tried this is my first time and it’s extremely IMPOSSIBLE THANKS FOR THE INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO GET IT OFF CLEARLY OTHER THEN JUST SAYING I DONE THIS A COUPLE TIMES
Do yourself a favor and BEFORE trying any of this (which might work), do a hard reset on your PS3. Hold the power button for a few seconds (up to 30). You'll know when. I had the symptoms as described here, but the reset appears to have did the job ;)
Thank you for posting. It seems to have fixed my issue for now. My PlayStation was only staying on for 20 minutes max. It has now been on for over 3 hours without shutting off.
thanks a lot buddy, your methode, awaken my ps3 after long sleep

It's not too hard. No way to damage if correct tools used.

This is not joke. If u increase these screws variable potintiometer, it means u increase the board voltage. And serious damage to your board and gpu. Its is permanently damage
you didnt mention anything about removing the pentalope screws from under the front lip
They are actaully torx safety screws
I found tiny flat heads that worked. Absolutely assholes for putting those in there.

1) The "single sided" screwdriver is a Standard, or "Flat"
2) The "four sided" screwdriver is called a "Phillips"
Depending on the PS type you have, You may need Soecialty screwdriver bits, like the Torx tamper proof bits.
You can get them from Harbor Freight tools, in a multi pack for about ten dollars.
T Killey A flat head does the job perfectly well.
You can simply hold the on button for 10 seconds to discharge the leftover power.

I got a new ps3 on 7th January as it was my bday. I launch a game then it turns off
Mine is different, and doesnt have that 2 things you turned 10 degrees even tho its the same ps3
i have same problem
Painful seisure? Lmfao. No it can literally end your life. Those capacitors are charged to 325 volts, so it’s life threatening.
I am really struggling with the clicks on the cover of the power supply, any reason why I cant remove it so easily?
Probably 1 screw un the middle
A bro you vedio really help me out but IM still see if it turns off by itself cause it stoped working and now it is thanks bro
Wow what a shocking experience 😂😂😂 Yea, lol I shocked myself 😝
So that kind of sounds like what my problem is. I was watching Netflix on my PS3 and I take very good care of my PS3. But one day it just shut off and I tried turning it back on and there was a red light and I hit the power button again and it turned green but then a couple seconds later turned off. Can someone tell me what the problem is?
Did it blink red and have a beeping noise? If that happened then it's the red light of death. If that didn't then your fuse is blown. You may have to buy a new power supply.
+321GAMEOVER yea when I try to turn it on it first is red and beeps and shuts off then if I hit it again it is green and stays on for a couple seconds and then shuts off. But if I leave it unplugged for a week and try it goes on normally and will work for a day then craps out again. So I just don't know what to do lol I don't know how to fix this kinda stuff since I always take care of my stuff and it never usually breaks lol
+Chrissy Moskal I think it needs a new power supply...
+321GAMEOVER ok thank you for the help!
+Chrissy Moskal By the way if you do end up doing the red light of death fix it's a little crazy. You can look up what to do on with that.
Hello, my PS3 is another model I think. I am slightly afraid of opening it and not getting the same parts. Any advice?
buy a power supply. most slim models dont have the screws to adjust like in this video
i just opened up my ps3 and i dont have those screws that control the power on my power supply...
Update i bought new power supply and installed it this one did have the screws but it did not work
i could have opened up the new power supply and turn the screws but i decided to return it and send my system to Sony
so if your power supply does not have the screws you might as well send it to sony
Well your fuckeed
TheErodred yea
L
ok so my ps3 slim can be on 30 minutes, 1 hour or 3 hours then turns off, no red lights and wont revive for hours, i have to unplug and plug back for it to revive, is this a PSU issue i am having?
Karmacuarius same problem here
3:27 wtf I tried this is my first time and it’s extremely IMPOSSIBLE THANKS FOR THE INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO GET IT OFF CLEARLY OTHER THEN JUST SAYING I DONE THIS A COUPLE TIMES
Do yourself a favor and BEFORE trying any of this (which might work), do a hard reset on your PS3. Hold the power button for a few seconds (up to 30). You'll know when. I had the symptoms as described here, but the reset appears to have did the job ;)
How to hard reset ps3?
Worked on my PS3 FAT Thanks!
My ps3 turns on and shuts off 3-5 secs after, does this fall under that or did yours shut down after some gameplay?
my ps3 model doesn't have those screws
Thnx... I tried it and it work....
I did it still nothing keeps turning off
Aren’t those capacitors charged up? And wouldn’t that zap him if he touched them?
I assume, if you want to be safe you can check the voltages with a multimeter or even hold a high value resistor to the ends to discharge it.
