    my ps3 keeps turning off every literally every second i turn it on. Red light hasent been working for a few months prior it got broken. I think its a fuse has blown because i can hear the power source thingy make a short noise and turn off. PLEASE HELP! THANKS! : )

  • @notremike13 thats been happening to me.... i just brought it into a shop to be repaired... i hope to god they can fix it;...... plus my xbox just broke so i have shit luck for playing video games :P lol

  • @irongut6lol well that sucks . mine still broken & might as well buy a new when mw3 finally comes out

  • @notremike13 well dont u want the data still... like i would repair it then buy a new one.... otherwise all that data, games, add ons and such will be gone so im going to back up my data right when i get it back and then buy a new one and sell the old one... i have the fat ps3 by the way so im gonna invest in a slim lol

  • cheers mate :) today im buying a ylod ps3 off my mate for 10 pounds and a power supply from my other mate for 5 its not the heat sinks my other other friend already tried to repear them with thermal paste and heat gun. :)

  • K so I fixed the YLOD with all the thermal paste and heat gun thing. But yet if still doesn't work (I followed the tutorials to the T) do you think it is my power supply?

  • I bought a 60Gig the other day, it gets NO AC power, but I already swapped the PSU and switch to a known working one, so what can I assume? Short to the main logic board? The power supply and fuse appear to be a non-issue in my case, but both BD drives are wonky sadly, I've not been able to read any disc types

  • help me my ps3 dont turn on idk what to do! i need help.. and where can i buy the parts for the ps3?

  • I fixed my ylod ps3 but now it wont turn on help is it the power?

  • @wickedwalshe121 It sounds like the power supply or you didn't hook the wire 

  • yah i can see cord

  • ok ill help all of you call gamestop or any gamestore and ask for the number for sony when you call them they will tell you to push some buttons and tada problems solved or u can pay 100 dollars for any kind of fixed.

  • Where can i buy a new power supply for my ps3? (the original 60gb version)

  • What about the slim?

  • Ok, I had some energy fluctuation yesterday and I forgot to unplug my ps3, it hasn't turned on since, do I need to change the power supply?? It just doesn't turn on, no yellow light or anything

  • i just changed the power supply and it does the same thing so is it my motheerboard ???

  • My ps3 keeps showing a blue screen on start up. I'm pretty sure that it's showing a message that the Hard Drive can't be accessed but since i can't see anything I can't be 100% sure. I think the HD might not be getting enough power or isn't connecting properly. Is there any way to replace the power/pin connector for the internal HD?

  • my ps3 just doesnt do anything.. no lights nothing, the power cord is good though. so im thinking power unit?

  • is that a old fat boy one or a new cheeky slim???

  • where do you find one of those power supply unit things?

  • i found a new power supply for like 25 bucks

  • By opening the PS3 like you do can I take my CD that's stuck in my PS3? Just got the YLOD with the Gran Turismo my father bought me for Christmas.....

  • Whats wrong if your ps3 turns on for about half a second.. Then turns of bout there is no redlight or yellow light i orderd a power supply because i thought that might be it..

  • how much does the power supply cost and where can u buy one? reply back

  • my ps3 wont come on at all would that be the power supply or something else

  • @nerocko6  same here thumbs up so he'll answer

  • My ps3 keeps making a beeping noise wheter I connect power to it. It is a 40GB model.

  • where can you buy a power supply?

  • How can you tell the diffrence between a power supply problem and the YLOD? I dont know wich oe I have, Please someone help

  • What are the comon reasons for a play station 3 to get screw up the power supply?

  • can you use any power supply? or do you need the specific model?

  • You need to make sure you buy the same model, as the one you remove. There is a model number on the power supply when you remove it.

  • My ps3 keeps shutting itself off about every 10 minutes. the red light goes too. the only way to turn it on again is turn it on and off at the mains, would that be the power supply?

  • Sounds like the YLOD | Yellow Light of Death | Check out you tube their are some really great video's on how to fix it.

  • @OldSchoolGameVault i lost 1 skroo and every 30 mins my ps3 turns off randomly... is that normal and were can i get a new 1

  • @OldSchoolGameVault You really should connect the REAR switch before seating the PSU, and you don't need to remove anything else to just address the PSU, it's own screws are all that keep in attached. I would also note the internal fuse is SOLDERED to the power board, but could also be replaced with a soldering iron. Looks like a Slow blow fuse (covered in opaque tape)

  • @MetallicBill I'm checking mine, the Memory card reader from the 60GB model is attached to the top half plastic, with molded tongs on both sides. I removed the ribbon cable which requires dexterity and a careful procedure to not damage it. It looks like the card reader could attach as shown in your video, but mine seemed part of the plastic cover, though not screwed there I noticed just now

  • @madamxt no its just a sign that you are likely (most likely) going to get the YLOD

  • @madamxt Did you ever get it fixed because I am having this trouble

  • @madamxt Yo man im having this same problem, how did you fix it and was it the YLOD?

  • Thanks, you saved me a couple hundred dollers.

  • there's a difference between replacing and fixing. U know that?

  • where exatcly can i buy a power supply for the ps3?

  • @jofrey123456781 Check out eBay

  • I have the ring of death. Does it effect if i put out the power supply?

  • how do you know if the power supply is bad?

  • I have a question I had my ps3 for 4 years but Noe I got the red blinking light does that mean it's probaly the power supply??

  • If your ps3 has ylod then how do you know if it is because of a bad power supply

  • @saappp123 YLOD is more likely bad motherboard than psu - although psu probably contributed to the problem. easy YLOD fix is to relow the CPU/GPU (vids on youtube) and swap psu out for the APS-231 model unless you have it already

    @pcjordan23EXTRA when the light turns from green to red blinking you should see a very quick flash of another colour - most likey yellow. if so then read above

  • you can get the power supply on ebay and its $25.

  • where do you get the power supply from and how much dose it cost?

  • my ps3 doesnt work because my heavy ass book fell really hard on top of the ps3! and when i start it the light turns green, white and it goes back to red blinking.. what does that mean? do i need to do this in order to fix it? and my game is still in the ps3 and cant take it out..so plz help me out! thanx!!!!!!

  • do i have to put everything back together b4 i can test if it works? or can i just test it as soon as i put the new power supply?

  • thanx man !

  • i have a ps3 is 20gb model and its shuts down after a few minutes or hours depending on the game sometimes even in less than 15min. If i change the power supply would it mean that the ps3 is not going to overheat? because the currently power supply is becoming hot after a few minutes

  • @bigdawg23 i got the same problem today. wtf? is there a forum where we can go to

  • would this work for a ps3 slim too, or is it a different process

  • @Cameroooo

    mmmm I wonder why there is an echo in here maybe I am right about something?

    I am not saying this is a bad video not at all its very informative on how to change a Ps3 power supply but not fix.

  • i heard a loud pop on my ps3 and now it wont even turn on... do you recommend getting a new power supply?

  • @Cameroooo then why are u wasting time here lol? and why dont u show this guy how to fix a power supply then ???

  • @Cameroooo you obviously dont know much about hardware. Even if he did showed you how to really fix the power supply, you wouldnt even have the tools to do it

  • Nice video, but the title should be Replacing power supply for ps3, your not technically fixing the power supply.

  • Or... Just buy a new ps3!

  • what kind of power supply is that?

  • @Equinoxinator other than it bein ps3

  • How can you tell if you need a new power supply? My PS3 won't turn on does that mean I need a new power supply?

  • I have taken my 80g apart twice now with doing "flux & them paste" and still yellow light... Im wondering if might be the power? Is there a easy way to test the power box? Please someone let me know !!

  • My PS3 (fat 80GB) died. No lights, so power supply i think. I live in Ontario, Canada and Sony demands $169 + $30 shipping + taxes for a total of $224. Won't budge on their "flat rate" and I even got hung up on once when I tried to complain!

  • @keadybuck look on e-bay they are about 30+shipping

  • SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!! My 80gb ps3 has absolutely no power at all. Now before someone says that its the power supply I've already changed that with a new one and still nothing. I've also changed outlets and power cords. Now I don't know what to do. I'm begging please someone Please help me.

  • @Sideswipe1125 it could be faulty wiring in the mains?

  • @coolcar100 I'm not sure

  • @Sideswipe1125 also could be bad main power switch.

  • @mrbobdog707  I changed that as well and still nothing

  • sell it at a trade show w/ out the cords. they dont hav a tv setup n will buy it off u. dont say its broken. if u want to be honest about it. find someone who fixes it, or do it yourself. search craigslist. someone or a bunch of people fix xboxes n 360s, ps1 - 3's n computers, electronics. they do it all.

  • is there any mark saying on power supply that it can take 220V 50Hz ? Just wondering if it is universal power supply?

  • @extensaone; "ebay" I just buy 1 on ebay for $32.98. I hope that's the problem that my ps3 have.lol : )

  • this problem happened to me tonight.. my ps3 has all the plugs in and i flip the switch, and not even my main power light comes on. i tried replugging it into different power supplies.. tried turning on and off, and also tried taking it all apart and looking at it. where can i buy a new power supply exactly like that, o ya just for your information, mine is an 80 gigabyt model, not sure if that matters or not.

  • Where do I find a Power Supply at? I can't find it no where!

  • does it have to be the same model kind to work? cuz i didnt know that and bought one, so i need to know

  • Comment removed

  • yea thats my issue also NO LIGHTz NO NOTHING!!!

  • Ahh, youtube. You have everything in plain view that the rest of the internet tries to hide.

  • Thanks. This fixed my ps3.

  • my ps3 light turns yellow then red when turned on. i was told i need a new power supply. problem is that i don't know where to get one. ebay has for only one model number and not others.

  • Is the model number APS-231 or ZSSR5391A? Both are the same power supply except for a few screw placements. So if the power supply in your PS3 looks like this one(ZSSR5391A) the APS-31 will look like that and will be compatible.

  • well, my ps3 is a Singapore model.

  • @dspprince a truly broken power supply wouldn't even be able to turn on any color of lights. sounds like you have YLOD

  • my ps3 does not turn on, i was using it and after 5 minutes shut off completely, no lights, nothing, could that be the power supply?

  • Yes, those are the symptoms of a power supply failure.

    I had the same thing happen to me :\

  • thanks man, i though it was something worse

  • same thing happened to me!!!

  • Does the power supply have to be

    from the same gig ps3?

  • I would make sure the model numbers on the power supply are the same. The model # is located on the bottom side of the power supply, in the top left hand corner.

  • whats the part number? is it the same for all ps3, mines north american.

  • where did you get your new power supply from

  • China, but these are all over eBay, just search by the model number.
