How to fix PS3 blinking red light problem

[@96arctica]

Thank you for making this detailed video. I followed along and now my ps3 works again!

[@Phicxtion]

This is why I went back to my ps2 and never left.

[@SnakezDogg]

Yes. Me too. I still have ps2 slim. I have no problem wit ps2 and it is still working fine

[@legendforever7036]

It's legendary

[@gokhanozgul2199]

I had YLOD so it was impossible to start the PS3 (retrocompatible PS3 FAT). I tried what you did but with a hair dryer for a few minutes and it works perfectly now. Thank you

[@joshuaoliveros3260]

Does it run until now?

[@CWMVs]

Does it still run now?

[@vanyaa8095]

Can I use a hair dryer to for heating?

[@jflhr]

I did it and worked for few days after it start doing the same problem once again

[@Mystery_Buffz]

I know the solution here guys, your internal thermal paste is seized, you need to remove the cpu cover then replace the thermal paste inside, the CPU cover is made with aluminum, just scrape it with plastic gently, carefully, you will see inside theres a thermal paste probably solid already

[@blackeyedcharlie9740]

Hello there, I have a PS3 Slim that also has the ylod. Would it work if I just buy another motherboard for it?

[@ibrahimbesniku3622]

This metod works only for few hours or days, and after repeting this metod the ps3 GPU & RTX will be destroyed, don't do this metod, the only way to repair your ps3 is to reballing GPU & RTX or if the problem are the capatitors NEC- tokin must be replaced

[@eubladez3884]

Method and their is no rtx in a ps4 and you are wrong

[@blakegriplingph]

@@eubladez3884 *RSX

[@Gnawde]

@@eubladez3884 This is a ps3 first of all and what they said was correct with some minor grammatical mistakes, he meant RSX which is the GPU in the ps3

[@XRelays]

people say this because Xbox 360s (mostly Xenon models) had RROD mostly because of microsoft using unleaded solder balls instead of leaded, thus causing RROD if they cracked. because PS3s had YLOD at the time, people assumed there was unleaded solder in the PS3 as well. in actuality, it’s sorta the GPU/CPU’s fault. on the 360, the RROD was caused by mostly the solder balls, it could be a lot of other things causing it (capacitors, dead DVD drive etc). on the PS3, while the RSX may bridge solder, that’s extremely rare, most of the time it’s always the faulty NEC/TOKEN capacitors.

[@Mf1-]

This problem is due to the malfunction of the NEC tokin capacitors if they are not replaced the problem returns, this problem also happens in the fat ps3 models

Esqueceu de dizer qual temperatura usou no processo. "You forgot to say what temperature you use in the process."

[@VICTORD9VIP]

what oil do i need for cpu?

[@TheProxy2]

Why the hell did you skip the part where you open the fan. Thats the most confusing part

[@Ajit-k8b]

When i turn on my ps3 slim , red light doesn't turn green , just goes off and instantly shutdown after 2 second with beep sound Can anyone suggest???

[@vacajinjo]

Looks like a faulty power supply problem

[@Ajit-k8b]

@vacajinjo bro fan is working while using cd drive eject button

[@danijelpetrovic4746]

What is temperature of hot air ?

[@ericbrown9830]

So after using the thermal compound paste to clean the cpu I will use blower

[@ericbrown9830]

I will use the blower again

[@pakoakwa7032]

what temerature you use?

[@HumbertoCardinali]

I saw in another video using a temperature of 300 degrees celsius. But this person applied liquid FLUX first.

[@legendforever7036]

@@HumbertoCardinali s correct

[@DNA0FD00M]

I fixed mine in a different way look under where the power button is at and there is vents if its dusty then that's the problem but this video still gives good tips

[@HumbertoCardinali]

That was the first thing I did, I cleaned all the dust but it didn't work :(

[@davidvance8182]

Mine went to the shitcan. Bought another.

[@HumbertoCardinali]

@@davidvance8182 I also bought another one, but for me was a good idea to keep the PS3 because sometimes it's nice to play old games. I found out that my PS3 had broken down when I recently had guests and they wanted to play a PS3 game.

[@AbdulRazackWasili]

I try this way but is not working help me please 😢😢

[@deckard5pegasus673]

I did this and my cell cpu litterally popped off. Now the only option is to reball. Let's be honest, 90% of youtube videos are fake AF

[@PrizmKing_EditZ]

Should be fine if your talking about the lid. If the actual cpu popped off the motherboard tho then yeah ur screwed 💀

[@deckard5pegasus673]

@@PrizmKing_EditZ yeah it's screwed, bricked PS3 good for parts..

[@diyer1190]

why heating the board？

[@josepharahan7523]

Can i use hair blower ?

[@kevin24km]

Mine did this when upgrading drive. The drive was in compatible for some reason. Got a different and worked fine.

[@HumbertoCardinali]

I tried with an identical drive but with 160GB and it didn't work either :|

[@yasser_music]

Buddy ps3 slim doesn't have yoldvlike fat your problam.is nec tokin chips

[@strudeldemere486]

all ps3 have ylod

[@Ashok_07_5]

It may have problem in power strip inside ps3

[@phredrichgelwin5845]

I have the same problem in my ps3

[@mariant4673]

That is NOT how you put thermal paste

[@DownUnder43]

There is no correct method as long you cover the entire surface. Gamers Nexus already proof that get informed prior posting. 🤦. His method is actually quite good.

[@raymarkflores6328]

Mines like that😢

[@davidvance8182]

Same problem with my p3 fat

[@domicdom2483]

SONY PS3/ PS4 SUCK when it comes to keeping their consoles cool due to not enough ventilation holes, then even the dust inside can screw their consoles too!!!!

[@colbertdorcely1933]

I wanna know which product did u use who looked like toothpaste

[@hamzadesidragonsarwar]

Thermal paste

[@Silverforlife]

Yeah but its very very hard its better to take it to some service lot of people know how to fix it in 2023

[@freedombrowser]

I have a ps3 slim upon changing the hard drive, it now shows an error code (8002F2F0) and the green light immediately goes off and even try takes time before it t come back again. What can you for me pls?

[@PetrosM]

[@PetrosM]

[@abbusmaq9983]

What is the reason for this problem?

[@sayeshinnaicker2655]

When you try to jailbreak your ps3 and it gets bricked

[@noryhair7461]

Overheating issue for the cpu

[@strudeldemere486]

@@sayeshinnaicker2655 no, its overheating problem

[@S550Chriss]

@@sayeshinnaicker2655 Tf? Bricking only happens when you download cfw files on hen or the other way around. This happens bc the GPU overheated

[@joshuathomas6642]

this is why ps2 is better than ps3 and I still have my ps2 fat play it everyday

[@quieneressomoslegion930]
