(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hello all , I've run into a problem, I was installing a extra fan on my Ps3 slim (cech 200) , I spliced into the fan wires onto on the Ps3 coming from the mb. (Black and brown wires) , while doing so I touched the Grey wire with the brown wire. The Ps3 cut off after beeping one time. After that I cut the system off for about 20 mins scared to turn it back on . I turn it back on and notice the red light on the front is very very dim
When I turn the system back on the light turns green(nothing appears on screen of tv) , then stays green for about 15-20 seconds.
After that it turns off and begins to blink red for another 20-30 seconds before going back solid red.
I know there may not be a fix for this but I would be thanks for any info on how to fix it or what burnt out. Thanks for any help in advance

This sounds like a power issue so while i'm no expert sounds like either the wiring or the power supply will have to be replaced but like i said i'm no expert

Tired that today bro, lights still dim, comes on for maybe 30 seconds(nothing on screen) then cuts off with red blinking light till I press the power button , won't even take a game or do the fan test just comes on then goes off

Were u trying to added another fan while the ps3 is running?

Sadly yes , I needed to know which wires were the + and - , while doing so I touched two together on accident n the ps3 just cut off

Well it sounds like the system might be cooked unfortunately

Any schematics for the mb? Cech 2001a

Have you tried to reconnect the cables to it's default (before you did mod) ?

I don't think adding extra fan this way is good for PS3.
If you're on CFW you can just use webman and increase fan speed to overcome the PS3's heat

Sorry for doublepost, its my connection

You should use a multimeter next time.

You may have either shorted something or weakened your power supply. The ps3 power supply could supply power to some fans without dimming or anything so it was definitely caused by the shorting of the black and grey wires..grey wire is power signal and black is ground..

Usually when the power supply is bad its starts to "hum" or just doesn't supply power or lights at all..

You may have a popped component or your wiring could be janky. If the fan is still connected, you only need power from the red wire and ground from the black wire. it will supply 12v. Exclude the grey wire unless you have a fan that can read a signal wire.

You might just be shorting the ps3 and throwing you into YLOD. If you stop the short (put everything back to stock) it should boot up again. If not, then you have a popped component or damaged hardware. If its not the power supply, you can look on the motherboard for any obviously popped capacitors (tops will be raised) but if its not anything noticeable it will probably be a challenge to find and fix this..

GL!
