Topic: Help! My PS3 will not turn on

[dredmund]

Does anyone know what is wrong with my PS3?

It doesn't want to turn on! When i try to turn it n, the right light turns green from red for a second then turns back to red. I was watching a movie when it just went out. I'm not sure if it overheated but the signs for overhting as described in the PS3 website are not shown. I even have a fan at theback to help dissipate the heat. Deos anyone repair PS3's here? I bought it in Canada jst last summer. Many thanks!

baka na BDL ka bro, did you follow the steps in avoiding BDL's?

My two-cents ...... appears to be non-BDL error.

BDL normally affects only the lens assembly, hence you can still access & play your local (PS3 HDD) files e.g. PSN games, movies file, etc.

I've had BDL for almost a year now - it's a good thing that I play rarely ..... been bit by SARS for the longest time.

As posted a while back, CYNET has a reputation for being the best PS3 repair shop out there (I personally do not trust the VMALL shops e.g. EYO) ..... give CYNET a call (0905-2663520 or 731-9198).

sir, have you tried pressing the power button for a good 20seconds .. (hard reset) maybe na corrupt yung hard disk nya? .. you would know if you are performing a hard reset.. when your ps3 would beep 3x..

1. Power Off the PS3 via the power switch in back and power back on w/switch.

2. Hold Power Button on the Front until you hear 3 beeps.

3. Then go through the initial setup and then run a full Format via System > Format. (will take approx 3 1/1 hours). You may need to have our AV cables ready if your using HDMI (in case HDMI isn’t detected after initial reset).

[newwaveboy]

Good inputs by Waxx ...... you might have switched inputs (Component >> HDMI or vice-versa ) .... so you need to do the 3-second reset.

I experienced this many months ago ..... my friend borrowed my PS3 and had used HDMI, while I was using Component back home.

If all else fails, CYNET is a reputable PS3 repair shop.

Thanks guys! I'll try your suggestions. I hope it works.
