  • Hello TH-cam, and Sony PlayStation owners. Recently, somebody brought in his PS3 to our shop. The main problem was unexpected shutdown, and the blinking red LED light. This gaming console actually worked okay, but it was turning off itself randomly. After a Google search, I've realized that this PS3 was overheating and then when it reaches the maximum temperature, it did shut off to protect the PS3 from burning. If you have a similar problem like this one, try this. Let's go ahead and fix the overheating problem on Sony PlayStation 3!

    That's overkill on the amount of thermal paste used, you only need half of that

      Not on ps3. Mine kept overheating until I put just about that much on so it covered the whole plate on each one. It's because the ram is also underneath and will overheat if you don't get a good layer over the entire thing.

    Well, is there any other issues regarding the red light? I did clean the console itself inside and replaced the thermal paste, and it still wont turn on? Any guess?

    • @PTITBROTHERGravenhurst
      @PTITBROTHERGravenhurst  3 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      I think the red light represents a general issue on PS. Problem could be something else.. it could be your hard drive or maybe you need to reflow the motherboard. In my case, it was working and shutting off due to an overheating.

    • @PTITBROTHERGravenhurst
      @PTITBROTHERGravenhurst  3 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      Typically, when PS3 does not turn on with the red light, people try reflowing the CPU and the GPU on the motherboard with a hot air gun.

    • @SolKnightt
      @SolKnightt 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Did you get it resolved? In my case, this PS3 was a replacement direct from Sony years ago and still has this red light issue. I'm hoping it's just a HDD problem. Honestly, there shouldn't be any dust inside this thing lol.

      sounds like an overheating issue. When the system requires more power, that's the moment when your CPU and GPU get hotter, then when it reaches the maximum operating temperature, it shuts down the system to protect the processors from burning.

    Well.... glad I started reading comments half way through, I think this will work better if I just take the brake cleaner to it then let it all evaporate and while that's happening I'll go start a fire in the back, come back in and do a secondary cleaning with more brake cleaner, while it's still in the evaporation stage I'll run outside while it's still wet, then huck it in the fire and watch it burn baby burn, RIP PS3🫡. No more pain 4 u .😅

      I think the solid red light represents a general error on ps3. It could be the hard drive, motherboard or something else. Hard to say which. Typically, a hard drive issue or a motherboard needs to be reflowed but you will need to find out what is wrong with it.

      Does your PS turns on? or is it always blinking red? I think the solid red light indicates other errors on PS3 like hard drive problems.
