BoRa28 Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 Hi guys, Here's the problem with my PS3: (Slim 160 GB model) 1. IT does not start - There is no display on the Screen. 2. The DS3 does not get connected - neither automatically nor via USB. 3. The Green Light is on - it remains on - does not shut down or anything. Just stays idle with nothing on the screen. Things that i have already tried: Tried to change the Hard disc - of no use Tried to start the PS3 without a HDD - of no use - no display on the screen Tried to connect to another TV using those red white and yellow pins. - same - of no use does not start. Did the Fan test by holding down the eject button - of no use. Tried to hold down the power button - no beeps nothing - if i hold it for around 30 seconds - the PS3 gets switched off and there's red light on the power button. Tried Googling - could not reach any solution Out of warranty If its an issue with HDMI - should not the DS3 get connected? How can i reset if i don't hear any beeps - Any help will be appreciated. Please help me get back to gaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xvinnix Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 Use the good old..... Plug out...Remove power cable.....Press and hold power switch on console for 60 sec.....turn it on. If no...... Hard luck mate. However there is no such thing as Green light of Death. Find out how to do a Physical Factory Reset. Your last resort would be grey market....They will reset it for you, However if this is a heating issue with yellow light and beeps then good luck. Hope it helps. Cheers.....

BoRa28 Posted October 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 I gave asked a few repair shops in Bombay... lets see what solution they have.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 Try to enter the reset menu. I admit it will be hard without the beeps but try it. Well it seems like an issue with the display chip. In most cases that's what a solid green means unless its a HDD failure. Your options if this is the case would be third party chip reflow (basically it means the RSX may be loose and isnt connected to the board well) or contact Sony. IMO third party reflow is a stop gap as it could last a month or a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoRa28 Posted October 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 Yaa inread about the RSX...but could not get what exactly it meant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoRa28 Posted October 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 Is it somtething that can be tried by me or should i resort to workmen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 The RSX is the display chip. What it means is theres no proper contact between the chip and the mainboard and the solder will need to be reheated to re-establish connection with the chip. Its better off in the hands of a professional. Again there is no guarantee of how long it will last. Try this if you've exhausted all other options.

BTW - found this thread http://community.us.playstation.com/t5/PlayStation-3-Support/How-I-Fixed-My-Own-PS3-Failing-RSX-GPU-PS3-Not-Playing-Games/td-p/41726965 I have absolutely no intentions of doing what the guy says - placing the Motherboard of the PS3 in a pre-heated oven and all...Still would like to know if this actually works. I think going to a professional is my best bet here. Want to know how long it shall work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you build a good rapport they may offer you to redo it if it reoccurs within a timeframe they set. It's really hit or miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZooZoo Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 Finally I'm not alone. My PS3 has the almost same symptoms. I gave it for repair to one shop in Bandra, bastard kept it for 2 months and then gave back without repairing. If you find some shop for repair then please let me know too. Thanks.

Walker Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 Nope man sorry. Wish I could help you there, but perhaps someone else could point one out to you. Edit : But I do know there's some guys in Pune who do the whole reflow/reballing thing. I'll see if I can get those details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 Have you tried contacting Alfa. Iirc they used to do repairs when I was living in Mumbai. Don't know what the situation is now. Or try the first shop near the entrance on the left at indraprasth in borivali. Again it's been a while so don't even know if it exists anymore.
