PS3 broken down

Post by sniper3d »

Automatically translated from French.

So, I just got back a ps3 series cechc04, which crashed while playing, since then red light
when I restart it, 2-3 seconds and then black screen.

So from what I've been able to read, either the temperature sensor, or the battery, or I don't know :93:

If you have any ideas or advice before I start taking it apart, I thank you in advance.

the ps3 has never been connected to the net for info, don't ask me the firmware, I can't access it at the moment

Take a good look at the red light and tell me if it might not be orange?

Which gives yellow and thus a y(yellow)lod (overheating and safety shutdown of the PS3)

The R(red)lod exists too!

If it crashed while playing, there's a good chance the PS3's thermal paste is dead, so you'll need to replace it.
