situation.....
Little kid pisses dad off,
dad gets angry,
Little kid shouts at dad,
dad say F*ck it, picks up ps3 slim & throws is at the wall,
Little kid cries,
dads friend cries because he carnt fix it!
Anyway....
The console is a ps3 slim 160gb
Symptoms
After powering on the unit the fan spins up
Red power light truns to green
Before the HDD light blinks the console stops dead (45 - 60 secs)
Nothing shows on the display (HDMI)
No blinking lights
Tests so far
HDD spins up when plugged into PC & its discoverable (not tried format)
changed PSU with the unit from my own console & same symtoms as above
Teared down the whole unit, no loose conections no cracked PCB
?
Where do i go from here what else do i need to check?
??
I was hoping someone on the forum would have more knowlegde troubleshooting these things :D
UPDATE
I put the thing back together
After powering on the unit the fan starts to spin up (doesnt get up to speed)
Red power light truns to green
& then it dies
10 secs max
so from taking it apart & puting it back together all i have achived is cutting the running time down from 45-60 seconds to 10 secs
:secruity: sounds like i need to throw it at the wall!
