ps3 console 4 red dots are not flashing everything else works fine says i must wait 2- 3 hours

I have a ps3 that turns on for a minute than off just before it starts the display on the screen. I have opened the playstation and replaced the power supply unit with a new one and I get the same problem. I also know of the two adjustment screws inside the power unit. Since I have replaced the power unit and have the same problem I disassembled the original unit and tried adjusting the screws. I have been unsuccessful with trial and error. So to reiterate I have a playstation 3 that turns on and starts operation but dies just before it displays the startup screen. I have replaced the power supply unit with a new one and have adjusted the adjustment screws on the old unit and still get the same problem with either unit. Any other ideas??

I also vacuumed the dust while it was open.

Anyone have thoughts?

I am playing a role RPG game and the xp is no gaining and that will keep from leveling up.

My ps3 (cech 2001a) stopped reading games and disks in general. I bought a replacement and replaced it. The dealer sent a note explaining that the drive would need to be 'flashed' with the console's security key to work. Or, the easier way would be to swap the old board into the new drive. I swapped them and the drive didn't work. Swapped the new drive back and it accepts and spins but does not display that there's a disk. Anyone know how to flash this drive?

every time i insert a dvd into my PS3, it just goes into rewind mode non-stop. anyone know what this can be?

When I turn on my PS3 it says files corrupted and then I manually reset it and it freezes then I manually shut it off and it says again files corrupted and we go in that Loop over and over again can anyone help

Having a problem with blu ray playback starts to jump and slow down after about 2mins of watching, DVDs work fine, as do games, turned off the 24hz output option, it then got to about 5 mins, then started jumping again. This is the first blu ray I've watched in years, and now I'm stuck on how to fix.

When I turn in my PlayStation 3slim. It give me " the file system in the system storage is corrupted and will be retorted." I press ok and it and it proceed to download. But won't go pass 45%. It just stops

Our problem is that when I turn on the system it goes to a green screen with static. This happens about 80% of the time. How do I fix it?

I switched off my ps3 at the wall, not the unit, when I switch it back on it said I had to agree to restore corrupt files, so I just switched it off again. On switching it back on, the menu shows on the screen but wont allow me to select anything. Is my ps3 now completely unusable?

When I turn on my ps3 I get the green light but nothing else please help

Error 80010510 repair

The issue I’m having is I put the disc in and sometimes it pops up sometimes it doesn’t but when it does pop up I’ll start playing the game and then at some point it randomly goes black and stays black and if I try to shut the ps3 off it just doesn’t let me like I hold the power button for 3 seconds and it’s beeps like it’s gonna shut off and blinks for a sec then it double beeps

My ps3 switches off shortly after turning it on. Before it has fully booted. I’ve tried the unplug and hold the on off for 30 seconds method, no improvement. I’ve run the fan test which is fine. I have changed the gardrive and reinstalled the software which went fine until I got the set the time portion of the initialisation. It now behaves as before by not fully booting before it turns itself off.

It rebuild the HDD by itself. Everything worked 100%.

My ps3 is not taking the disc in the disc light is on all the time except when the consol is off. It takes discs in after some time but currently it isn't. What is the problem?

Ps3 red light comes on when first connected to power out then light goes off. When red light comes on if press immediately the green light comes on as well but device becomes blank as if no power whatsoever is connected to it. Power supply and battery were replaced and still the same thing is happening.

According to this troubleshooter, I had a faulty control board requiring that I send my PS3 to Sony for repair. Instead, I unplugged my PS3 for a few minutes and that fixed it?

Hi! I just want to reintegrate my issue with the unit. When the power cord is connected to the unit, no light comes on. Once unplugged from the unit and reinserted the power light becomes red but to only turn off within 2 seconds. If power button is press right when cord is plugged into device, it turns green for about 2 seconds but to completely go blank as if no power supply was connected to the device. I thought that it was a problem with the battery at first, I ordered and replaced it but the same thing kept happening.

Hi when turning on the PS3 it has a horrible high pitched sound when playing discs and no audio from the game. However when playing games already downloaded onto the system there is no sound issues

The red light is on. Push it it turns green. For about 5 seconds. Then goes dark. And won't do anything.

Please my ps3 slim turn on for 3seconds and goes off

This should probably be updated, as sending your PS3 to Sony is not really an option anymore.
