i tried using my 80 gig first generation ps3 in europe with a voltage converter. It worked once, then the second time I got the yellow then red flashing light. Should I just replace the entire power supply or is there a specific module within the power supply that i have to replace?

@calanelkins yes you will have to check the module number for the correct power supply, good luck

@kay7711226 When you point to the suspected trouble component (on the PSU) you neglect there's a FUSE to your LEFT in the video, just to the left of your finger in the video view, the FUSE of any power supply is intended to protect anything else in a surge, so replace that by all means, FIRST! It's much less costly, but it is soldered to the board, which means you heat up the leads and pull it. Cut them on both sides and used tweezer-pliers in one procedure for instance

@kay7711226 Tried a PSU that WAS tested good on this, so that means the motherboard of my PS3 that won't turn on is the culprit and could be in other cases. Not the PSU in that instance. I have two BD drives that won't read the media, any of them I have. The hub spins, stops, spins, stops as seen in my video of late, what causes this? The laser mech just goes bad for some reason? I would assume perhaps the spindle motor can also wear out, but why does this happen prematurely anyway?

@kay7711226 I just put up videos from my service on PS3, two of them I bought!

@AdamLindsay17 yea it does matter, may not have enough amp or voltage to drive your system. That can damage you system or you can damage his power supply. But you can give it a shot, just dont leave it ON for long ;)

[kay7711226]

@AdamLindsay17 then try a new PS, its not that expensive, just make sure you get the correct model. You can find it on Ebay
