Hey, it's OP again. As this damn oval black box was taking up space and a f*ckton of dust, I had to do something. I've read somewhere that the short or whatever causes the thing to shut down can be caused because of foreign material touching the motherboard. So I completely disassembled it, and...

Nothing special. I've successfully updated the console to 4.87 (if my memory is correct), and then I was jailbreaking it. However, I don't think the jailbreak was the cause of the problem, because it crashed multiple times before I even attempted to jailbreak. The console was just idling while I...

Nope, I've tried changing the HDD (which works fine), but it didn't work. Actually our PS3s are different (you own a Slim while I own a Super Slim), so maybe things are a little bit different too. However, as I mentionned in my original post, my PS3 can't be booted at all. It goes like this ...

Hey there, it's me again... Finally received my PSU, and you know what ?..... drum roll.... it did NOTHING :madd: However, something worth mentionning : I tried doing the same thing as Kleon (turning it on again and again), and suddenly the delay between starting the console and it shutting...

Well, the HDD was the first thing I checked. I tried booting without it, and even formatted it to FAT32 just in case (I know, it's useless, but why not, out of pure despair). Still doesn't works ! :(

Ok guys, so fortunately I have a friend of mine who works in the electricity field (not stuff as advanced as micro-electronics though), I called him so that we can diagnose the PSU. We took the PSU out of the ps3 and opened it. He said he didn't see any shortcut symptoms (i.e black-ish color on...

Hold on.. So basically, changing the PSU would have very few chances of working, and the true cause of the problem would actually be a short caused by the bluetooth/wifi modules ? Oh no... oh god no, I hope it's not the case. I don't have any soldering tools and I don't even know how to solder...

Alright. I've read many times that it could also be the motherboard, and if it was the case, I'd be f*cked... Hopefully it isn't, and fortunately there are a bunch of superslim power supplies being sold on Aliexpress from safe-looking sellers. Thanks for the answer, I'll order the PSU and wait...

Hello there, I've got an annoying problem to deal with.. So I bought this cheap superslim PS3 (cech-4004c with 4.82 system) from a guy after testing it : everything worked fine. I took it, launched it once I came back home, discovered the features, changed some settings, started looking for a...
