Hey everyone. I have a rather strange issue with a cecha01 ps3 I just received. It came from an auction site, the guy completely lied about what was wrong with it. He claimed he took it to work to blow out dust that had accumulated and it wouldnt power on. No lights, no power. I disassembled it and found a mess. he had spilled something along the front of the unit. The area around the reset ribbon cable connector was really gunked up and the copper trace along the front was corroded. I cleaned it up very thoroughly and replaced the eject button board and voila! power and lights. Now for the problem. Turning it on, the green light comes on for about 30 seconds then back off it goes. Insert a disc and blue light comes on. However, there is NO sound, and NO video. BUT, it WILL go into recovery mode just fine. So, I know the unit is sound. electrically everything is fine or it would not even go to recovery. Can someone please help me? I have tried each and every option in recovery to get it fixed, and had no changes. I know the hard drive is good as I gave it a fresh fat32 format. I am stuck. can someone give me some things to try or hints? thank you.
