is the power switch on(the switch in the back) or

the is power strip on (if your using a power strip)

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 will buy it off you if you want my email is kaoss_112000@yahoo.com

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.

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 cleaned the blue ray lens and now it works.

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

I've asked a lot of forums a question about this box that I picked up with no luck at all. I do console repair and decided that with the price drop it is now worth it for me to start fixing them. I bought a 60 gig model of of CL for really cheap. The guy said that it freezed during game play so I figured it was the lens.

I got it home and started it up, played games fine, however it would freeze randomly and I have to hard reboot it. I took it all apart and check each part with a fulling working ps3 to see if it had any bad parts in it. It did not.

I reflowed it the first time and put everything back together and got no light at all when I flipped the switch. I reflowed it again, this time I only plugged in the power supply to the mobo and the power/eject board. I got the red light. After that I put everything back together and again no light at all.
I ended up reflowing it one more time to see if it would change anything and I still got nothing. All the parts are good, so I don't understand what is wrong. I read that I should check the fuses but it seems to me that there is a short on the board somewhere instead. How the hell can I check for that?

I just want to get this thing up and running. If I can get this one fixed I am pretty confident that I can fix a great majority of them. Any of you guys had this happen to you with a solution? Or any suggestions at all?

I am all ear ..... eyes.

Check out Gilsky. You missed something.

No problem, good luck. It isn't as easy as he makes it out to be

I'm still waiting for the flux to get here, as long as I see lights after the application then I'll start to get all excited. I know I didn't mess the ps3 up, so I didn't sell it for parts. I will let you all know how it goes. Now it's up to fedex ...
