To my knowing there is no diagram of the psu of the ps3. Can you tell us what happened though when it went though just so we can avoid the same problem?

I'm the tech guys for consoles at the store that I work, you most likely got a burnt out power supply, check for solders that have burnt away and resolder them if they have melted. If you can't find one buy a new power supply as this is the most common case for the consoles not turning on. Otherwise it is most likely a burnt out fuse or componet on the motherboard. In which this case there are many. Get a multimeter check every componet they should all hop around in numbers but if it stays one you found the dead source. Anyways, good luck man you've got a lot of checking to do. Find the dead componet take a picture and post it I will idenify which replacement part u need. And also only use 15 watt soldering iron on motherboard for safety.

Replaced the power supply and now it powers on but no picture.

You may have to completely RESET the unit, follow that procedure, it should be in the manual. IF a power surge or voltage spike took out the unit, it may have done other damage.

I have a picture now but PS3 will only read PS2 discs and dvds

I cleaned the blue ray lens and now it works.

I was playing a PS2 game when the PS3 suddenly turned off. The game is stucked in the optical unit. Now I turn the power key on (back), the front light turns red and when I press the eject button or try to turn on the console it turns off by itself even with the back key in the on position. Do I need a new power supply or a new optical unit?

ERIFNOMI · 2008-04-28 22:21:15

Where did you get a power supply for it. Isn't it curved to fit with the shape of the case?
