PS3 Slim boots to safe mode and shuts down after few seconds

After a 3-4 hour play session my PS3 shut down during the game. I started it again and it worked for 15 minutes, then shut down again. Turned it on again and it shut itself down after a minute or so.

Turned it on next day, and it would boot straight into Safe Mode (or recovery mode) and shut down shortly after. It's literally 2-3 seconds in safe mode and it shuts down with one beep.

The fan is really quite when it boots to safe mode and it stays this way until it shuts down. I'm not 100% sure it even works.

I tried removing the HDD, without HDD console will not display any video at all (HDMI).

Can it be a fan/heat sensor/PSU issue? Or the console is done?

Hi,

It sounds at first like an overheating issue. Even if your fan is working properly there are other safeguards in place that, when they fail over time or due to damage, will cause this type of issue. When's the last time the console had a good cleaning? I mean inside and out, vents, fan, and new thermal paste. Pretty much clean everything. The other thing is that it could possibly need a reflow if, due to heat and length of play time and lack of ventilation, the solder has become weak or detached at points.

So, clean clean clean, and then possibly reflow. Good luck!

Hi, thanks for your reply.

The console is 4 days short of 3 years old. It was never cleaned, that's the first thing i will do when i get my hands on torx security screwdriver.

You don't need a torx screwdriver justed get a set of eye glass screw drivers from the dollar store. They will help get the screws out also.

Yes, you will need a security torx screwdriver to get the security screws out
