(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); hi people right today someone sold me a fat ps3 because i wanted to jailbrake it so i got it for £15 i got it home and plugged it all in and the ps3 boots up for a second the powers off so my first thought was the ps3 needs a good clean and put fresh past on so i stripped it all down put new past on and put it all back together and im still getting the same problem i even took the disc reader out and tried and still the same problem but ive been looking up everywere and someone told me to hold the eject putton i hold it down then it comes on but the fan is spinning like crazy and there isnt any picture on the tv can anyone help me out

Faulty hard drive or faulty PSU are the most likely issues.

people r saying it could be bricked

okay, sounds like a fault. best ask the the old owner about the issue, if it powers off and shows no lights its probably psu, if theres a yellow flash then could be a large number of reasons. even a brick, and no display using eject button, that could be light ylod, but the no display can be simply it needs av cords or display reset or the rsx needs reballing, and increased fan speeds is normally ether a mod or heat sink issue, sounds like this can be fixed easily though, hard to say without looking at the console though

I bought one of a customer who came into my shop, it was the 60GB Phat version, did exactly the same things as yours is doing, it was never jailbroke and was never taken apart, so I reflowed both chips (CPU & RSX) with a hot air station at 300 - 350c for around 10mins, let it cool for 45 - 1hour, new paste, re-assemble. Booted up 1st time and it's still going strong. Hope this helps

Do can you redo PS3s if they have hdd issues? (Check my post please.) If so can I mail it to you?
