(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Well my cfw ps3 is bricked i know it. what happens is when i turn it on it says on for about 3 mins. Then turns it's self off when the HDD light flashes But when i go to recovory mode the ps3 will stay on till i turn it off but shows nothing on the tv? please some1 help me with this its on 3.55 and it has a broken blueray bit. but that does not matter as i know how to bypass it when updateing. thanks

I meant to say power button I'm sorry

Yeah I tryed that, still no display it don't you can fix it

If doing recovery mode & PS3 stays on but black screen, no display/video output then it's not YLOD/RLOD symptom and instead sounds like GLOD (Green Light of Death) & yeah GPU/RSX chip needs to be professionally reballed.

How would I do that at home? What would I need? And would it most likely work?

Moved to PS3 Mods Questions and Inquiries.

Edit: actually try this way/trick with penny coins that alchybear figured out. It's not a permanent fix though i think, but hey might work for you -> You must login or register to view this content. & his older 2012 but basically same but with different vid ->You must login or register to view this content.

But if pressure/coins on RSX trick doesn't work for you and or would like a more permanent fix... Well you need a BGA rework station//machine if you want to do it all yourself & well those are quite expensive and not really for the beginners with 0 knowledge or experience. There are youtube videos though on how to use a BGA station/Infrared IRDA soldering stations but yeah if you don't spend the time reading/learning and or practicing,+ have to correct tools, stencils etc, you might totally wreck your PS3's motherboard.

Anyway so yeah, also i honestly don't advise doing the cheap/"easy" reflow way that involves a heat gun as even if you do bring console fully back to life it's only temporary fix (unlike reball which is quite a permanent fix)

Although i almost forgot to mention, sorry. There are repair services & repair shops/companies depending where you're from, that fix/repair PS3 YLOD/RLOD + GLOD fault PS3S by reballing professionally with reworking station/s that they have.. Google & ebay search if you're from/at America or UK hopefully like i am i know a number of pro sites/companies that they can do. Excluding P&P can cost +£20 to £65+ though depending on who you choose to go with. It might be or not be worth it if you don't have the money to spare. As in i mean if data on PS3 isn't important for you, you could just buy a new slim CFW PS3, and trust me slims are a lot better, not prone to problems & a lot less trouble unlike the phat/fat PS3 models are.

yeah man ill try it today. but my ps3 does this. this is what it does

I tryed the penny thing. ps3 still shuts off when HDD light flashes. also when boot to recovery mode the ps3 will stay on but nothing on tv. the controller wont even connect.

Just like in the video is what happens to yours? hmm, may not be BLOD then, cos i've got a BLOD faulted PS3 & after like a minute or 2 turns off.
I'm not sure to be honest then what up with yours then. :/
Edit: ...Oh wait, do you hear the fans turn on/spin up if you put your ear close to your ps3? cos maybe the power supply/box that's partially died/fried inside it... If fan get quite loud then definitely the under RSX's IHS metal plate needs new thermal paste.

It doubt it's the hard drive though as if it was would display on screen "Cannot start. The appropriate system storage was not found." but you say there's no output/display. . . hmm :cstare:

Do you have any PS3 or laptop/PC repair shops near you in your area? If i were you i'd take the PS3 to them & let them do a diagnosis to the determine the fault & get price quote if they can fix it that is.
