PS3 shutting itself off


prabs

Recommended Posts

I have a PS3 Slim which I bought back in September/October 2012. I swapped the HDD that came with it a 320GB to 1 TB last year,

 

My PS3 started turning itself off randomly today. It was working perfectly last week when I last played on it.

 

The first time PS3 turned on normally and then suddenly around 2 minutes turned itself off. There was no RED standby LED nothing. Tried turning it on and it told me about data check. A few minutes in and again the same thing. Then when I tried it wouldn't turn on for more than 2 seconds. The PS3 won't turn on from controller either. The power button is to be directly pressed and later the controller can be turned on.

 

If I keep it off for more than half an hour or so again it turns on normally for a minute or so and then the same thing happens. I can sign into PSN, pop in a game disc etc but after a minute it will turn off even if you are doing nothing and just staring at the menu.

 

What should I do?

 

I saw a few videos about a 10 degree twist on PSU but I am not very confident about opening it and doing it myself.

 

Any suggestion/help is welcome.
