Do a barrel roll!
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I remember I had an old fat CECHG01PS3 somewhere and when I found it I tried it. The red light was there but it didn't turn on, so I'm guessing it's broken. What can I do with it? Just asking

1- Try a different power supply
2- Fan test (Turn off the console completely by the switch, then turning on the back switch whilst holding the eject button)
3-Open it and give it a good clean

Good luck

You could have some fun with it OR you could clean/replace thermal paste OR use it for scaps OR just tinker with it.

Nah, it's not worth anything to be honest. It's a Nand as well as a massive aluminium piece of heat. Meaning, that it's not worth anything really. It's a CECH-G01, one away from CECH-H01. You could attempt to re-flow it or re-solder it. Other than that, nothing much you can do...
