Yes, it's work at super slim too. Switch off the console by holding the Power button (press and hold it contentiously until the PS3 powers off). Now press and hold again the power button. Hold it until the console beeps 4 times (one beep, one beep, then two beeps), then release the Power button. Now you are in the Recovery menu. Regards.
Hints. When turning off the PS3â„¢ system, if a background download is being performed or there is content that has not yet been installed, you can set the system to turn off automatically after the download or installation has been completed. In such cases, a message and a checkbox for the setting will be displayed. For information on
My PS3 recently stopped working this past week. I played it about 3 weeks ago and it was fine. After it turns on the fan kicks on very low (doesn't spind like its working) and there's no display at all. In order to turn it off I have to unplug the system or hold the power button for awhile til it powers off, just pressing the power button once
First of all, nobody has tried to fix it before. When you hit the power button, the green light turns on, the blue light blinks once and it makes three beeping sounds. Then it turns off. I know that the blue light means a disk reading error, but i don't know if it's fixable or not, and i don't want to spend money on something i can't fix.
A way to start you ps3 without the power button, is to simple insert a disc into the blu ray drive, this will turn on the ps3. After this you can sync the controller, and turn the console on by pushing the ps button.
Then press and hold the Power key again for about seven seconds, you should hear two short beeps. Connect a DualShock 3 controller by using a USB cable. Press the PS button on the controller.
Step 3. (PS3 Fat Only) Hit the switch on the back of your system to off and back to standby. You're done! (PS3 Slim) Unplug your power cord and then plug it back in. You're done! NOTE: If you do not power down/unplug the system after the fan stops spinning the system WON'T turn on. System MUST be reset. HAPPY GAMING! Perform this test every 1-2
Bad news, removed the dust but the PS3 keeps turning off. I'll probably have to replace thermal past or buy another console. Breezay1. Sounds like it could be the PSU. 2000 series slims have what's known as the NEC Tokin capacitors, which are known to have problems sending power to the console over years of constant usage.
Incase it still refuses to boot, take a look at this schematic, the connector at top right is the tiny white one from the PSU, and the circuit at bottom is the switch board. In standby the PSU gives 5VSB (that goes to the switch board too), and when the console is fully powered ON the 2 "prongs" of the PSU gives 12v.
PS3 has the red light as soon as i turn on the AC power switch on the back, As soon as the power button is pressed, it disappears and nothing happens. try turning the AC switch on and off, red light dosent come back at all. Solutions attempted: replacing the power supply unit; old 40GB PS3 hard drive (unformatted) new AC power cord
PS3 Slim flashing green and yellow light on bootup. So I bought a PS3 Slim 2501A model with a broken disk drive a couple weeks ago for $25 and jailbroke it to load cfw 4.87 evilnat. I just noticed when I turn the PS3 on the power LED flashes green then yellow 4 times, and then back to green and the console boots up just fine and runs games no
