![PS3 Slim Power Off / Shut Down - Demo And Fix - Not YLOD [cech2501A]](/img/n.gif)
What a legend, saved me when nostalgia kicked, now i can relive those epice uncharted, pes 2010 and more moments. Thanks
FINALLY someone who actually knows what they are talking about! This fixed my problem. My PS3 would randomly shut off and the red power light would go out as well. Unplugging and plugging back in the cord would fix the problem temporarily but it would shut off again after a few minutes. I followed this video and my PS3 is working without issue now. Also, be sure to have air duster handy so you can do a little clean-up too. Thanks!
Definitely gonna try this. I got an overheat warning on my PS3 yesterday so I took it apart and repasted it. Put it all back together and it gave me the YLOD, then it died completely. So I gotta reflow the CPU and RSX and then do this and it should be good to go. I'm sad because this was my jailbroken rebug PS3
@@TheSaxAppeal same thing happens to me how is your ps3 now
НАКОНЕЦ-ТО кто-то, кто действительно понимает, о чем говорит! Это решило мою проблему. Моя PS3 случайно выключалась, а красный индикатор питания тоже гас. Отключение и повторное подключение шнура временно решали проблему, но она снова выключалась через несколько минут. Я посмотрел это видео, и теперь моя PS3 работает без проблем. Также обязательно держите под рукой баллончик со сжатым воздухом, чтобы можно было немного почистить. Спасибо!
I have the exact same problem as you, so if it fixed yours, I’m going to try this as well
Another happy viewer checking in! I'm very pleasantly surprised that this was all it took to get it up and running again :) Thank you so much!
This is amazing. I have never left a youtube comment before - but I needed to in order to let you (and anyone else know) that this worked! I am extremely grateful to you. Cheers!
Hey there, just wanted to thank you. Just got my PS3 up and running thanks to your video.
Currently cleaning a horrendously filthy PS3 I got for free and couldn't figure out how to disassemble the PSU. Video is clean and to the point, helped a lot!
You sir, just saved me $35 for a new PSU. Thank you very much, my console works perfectly!
Thank you so, so much. My PS3 was losing power randomly while playing games, but now it's staying on and working perfectly so far. You saved me money and time with no PS3.
I'm going to try this tonight. Thanks for the video Steve! I'm from Newtownards originally, its good to hear your familiar accent :)
My PS3 was shutting down every 15-20min when i play, and i saw your video and decide to try it, so far so good i really appreciate!
This guy is awesome. Thank you so much saved me buying a new power supply. Really knows his stuff
I have been trying to fix this issue for some time now and I never new the psu in the ps3 had trimpots, this video has made my day, now I can get back to demon souls, thanks for the great video.
oh-yeah! I adjusted the white plastic screws counter-clockwise and it worked! thank you!
Excellent Thank you. Mine quit yesterday Mine is super clean inside, so ddnt think it was overheating but still changed the Thermal paste which was quite bad, flaking off etc. worked for a few hrs last night then nothing at all . tried this and WOW.. very good thank you.
Thank you so much, I have just fixed my brothers ps3 in order to carry on playing gtaV with this method and WOW super appreciative. I am now your subscriber
My PSU is different as well,but i just slightly moved them counterclockwise and damn..I can't bielive it myself that it is working !
Maan,you are my damn hero !
Thank you mate did not work with ur size of movement on the screws but moved it a little more and IT WORKS! Legend
Thanks Steve it worked for me!! I don't know why I'm posting this in an old video but thanks mate
I was upset till I saw your video.i am so glad it works for me.thank you.
Hi Steve, my PS3 slim was cutting out after around 10-20 mins use, leaving no lights on and unable to start. Only way to get it back on was to unplug the power supply leave it a while then back on but same again. Anyway took it to Techbytes in Glasgow where they "had it on for days" and could find nothing wrong with it. Got it home and same again...followed your video to the letter about 3 hours ago and my PS3 has been running sweet as a nut ever since
Thanks you very much mate
Steve
I really really didn't think this would work, but to my surprise it did work. My PS3 would shut off after 10 minutes on it's own every time I plugged it in. I just played for 2 hours and it didn't turn off once. Thanks.
Thanks for the information. I'll make a new video for the 270 as soon as I get one in.
Thank you for the answer, i did just as you say in the video, turning them leftwards a bit, and i played like 4 hours with no problem, thank you!
First i would like to thank you this helped me although i did turn the screw anti-clock wise it didnt work but then i turned it clock wise and it did work now for 3 days straight without a problem
I had to comment! I'm from Brazil and I'm having the same problem as other people here in the comments section. My PS3 turns off Just a few minutes or seconds after being on. I eventually found that was the Power supply and i would buy a New one and replace, BUT I round your vídeo. How could anyone know that could bê solved in such a simple way. Now its late here, but I Will try that procedimento that you Just provided here. I'm really Grateful to you. I'll come back here to tive my feedback
Thank you. #peopleareawesome
Cheers, fixed my PS3 Slim. For others, my symptoms were the console would shut down after a few seconds. But if the HDD was removed it would stay on. So figured the power supply might be on the limit. Sure enough adjusting the two pots bought it back to life (until I can order a replacement).
Thank you so much, my once dead PS3 now works like a charm!
in germany we call people like you a ehrenmann. saved my ps3
thank you so much man, it works, you are officially my new hero
great info just tried it again and it worked a 1000 thanks!
Thank you, man that was helpful in 2021
Can u help me?
I don't know if it was the potentiometer trick or the fact that i seen a comment somewhere that told me to start it with the fan unplugged, but I did both at the same time, I adjusted the potentiometers counter clockwise a hair, and I left the fan unplugged before starting it up. It started normally, so I proceeded to plug the fan back in and sure enough it still started normally. I'm just glad I was able to fix my baby. It's old and some components are even rusty, but she's a 250 gig that's still kicking. I do believe it had to do with the potentiometers but that is my opinion. I would have been sad if I would have had to get a new PSU or something. I just bought The Last of Us on PSN. Anyways, great video I'll give credit to you.
+Christy Myers can you help me my psu does not look the same as in the video
Mine didn't either I'll post a video later and show you mine and how I did it.
No you didn't^^
Thank you so much for uploading. My PS3 works again perfectly :-)
dude i did adjust the white screws, and nothing happened, so please can u show me how to fix the fuse u mentioned? thanks
Hi James
Sony likes to keep us on our toes by constantly changing parts. Unfortunately the newer PSUs don't have the adjustable potentiometers. If the power supply is the problem you will have to replace it. I think it's an EADP 220 you need but check by looking on the bottom of your unit.
Great to hear! In their defense there are so many things that can go wrong that it's easy to miss something. I've pulled my hair out sometimes trying to figure out power problems lol Thanks for the comment Steven
I seriously believed there was bongos playing lol
Worked like a charm thanks alot appreciate it ☺.
Ty man I can't believe I fixed it with no problems ty 😃👌
On a off subject to your video, I'd like to ask your opinion on heating issues the power supply gradually happens over a course of time to now it is hotter than usual as in the fan runs faster. Note that I had already replace the IHS paste as well to the GPU/CPU as well. I know that too much heat to the board may cause some unexpected failures, is this one of the moments to replace it instead of fixing? Great demo to this video as you explained the risks before doing this procedure as some videos don't about static discharge and safety for you or the components inside.
This video saved my ps3! Thank you!
I think it works regardless of what direction they are turned. I used a 250 in the video and I haven't received a faulty 270 yet but I assume the system is the same as it was an upgrade from the EADP-200 PSU. If you know different please let us know.
Cheers Steve
Thank you for the quick response.
I do know what potentiometers are, just were wondering their job on this particular setting.
I adjusted them a little bit, and running on test now.
I wouldnt be quick to trust on whether or not they can be adjusted outside the component tolerances,
especially when theyre in a closed space.
But I guess, if people have been doing this for a long time now, it should be ok. I just pulled mine out of the closet, been sitting there for a long time.
Potentiometers vary current, for example a volume control is a potentiometer. These trim pots vary the micro current within the PSU. i imagine they cannot be adjusted outside the tolerances of the components. People have been doing this for several years and I've yet to hear of anyone saying it damaged their console. Naturally you work on your console at your own risk. Good luck
Now the rest of us know it works on the APS-306. Good one!
thanks alot buddy, this video worked just fine. i appreciate it
Hi These little potentiometers (Trim-Pots) vary the current to other components. By turning them from their original position (indicated by a marker line) you change the mirco current. It's not very scientific (as electronic "experts" keep telling me but if it gets the console running again why not give it a go. The alternative is to replace the power supply or get professional help which cost big money. Hope this helps
Thanks man u really helped me out alot
Thank u so much It worked perfectly the first try
Guess I wasn't lucky enough for this to work lol. Thanks for the tip though... and I know its not the best thing to do but I did a jumper wire across the fuse for a quick second and none of the lights came on so I just ordered my new psu... thumbs up on the video though!
I haven't worked on the APS-306 but if it has adjustable screws (Trim Pots) give it a go. If it doesn't work you have to take it to the repair shop or replace the PSU anyway. Naturally you work on your console at your own risk
Thank you so so much, it worked like a charm ! :-)
You're my hero :-D
Can confirm this works XD
Am I a bit late orrrrr?
Hey man. Thank you very much. My APS is different (APS-308) but I managed to find those knobs. Thing is that I made it so many times already that they won’t turn anymore and console won’t start. Any tips? Or where can I buy replacement
Hi Arleen you'll need to replace the PSU, you can pick one up on ebay for $30 - $40. hope this helps
Steve
Followed the tutorial and my ps3 seems to be ok now so thanks very much. How long can I expect this fix to last?
Thanks for your contribution Demi
I have a CECH-3002B PS3 Slim, it has a slightly different PSU, any ideas on getting into that one please?
I just bought a broken one for $20 on eBay that I'm waiting on, so I have no clue what to expect. I hope the fix is that easy.
thanks a lot, my ps3 works again.
My PS3 turns off all the time without the red light, but my PSU is the newer one without these adjustments. the part number is EADP-200DB. What should I do??
what are you adjusting when you are turning those potentiometer i have one pin giving 5 volts and the other giving 3 volts and my ps 3 stays on only for a very short time.
Thank you seems to be working now cheers sir
My psu is different
Me too.
Me too!!!
me too
They're all essentially the same.
@@rskat501 no some do not have these "switches"
the trimpot have three pins, are united in the same pins on both trimpot 250?, because the 270 are attached differently. I believe that this difference depends on the change in rotation 270.
what about the ones without adjusters,ive changed my power supply and its still switching off.any ideas.
Thank you for letting me know :)
I just bought a CECH-2001A PS3 Slim that wasn't working, opened it up to find that the previous owner had installed an incompatible PSU (an APS-306 meant for the 30xx models). Is there anything I can do, or am I totally out of luck? Compatible PSUs seem to be pretty expensive :/
I have a question: in other video a young adjust the OCP in CW and PFC in CCW. who is right, you or the young?
Your method works for both types of source the 250 and 270?
Yeah...I have this issue with my PS3 Slim just now, had it for 2 1/2 years. All i did was put AS5 on it!? Unfortunately i have the EADP-200DB PSU which has no potentiometers! Luckily the APS-250 & 270 is compatible so will try to get one of these. Prices are ridiculous though!
hi mr steve my ps3 slim works now and than i play without problems after trying a few times to put it on.... but when im finesh playing i put it off next morning i must repeat the whole process again till it goes on....so what i want to ask can i reply the same process u have done
Hola,. What are the values for OCP and PFC + B variable resistors for an APS-306 board?
did it and it worked! can play for hours now no problems at all! but thnx anyway
I just got a EDAP-220BB in and I imagine it's the same as the EADP 200D. It doesn't have the adjustable potentiometers so You have to replace the fuse.
There is something about a British accent that just 'make things right'. Thanks mate. Mine sorted.
Thats def not a Brit bud
what about a psu model - Delta Eadp-185p? where are the potentiometers? there aren't any knobs in mine?
when my ps3 stopped working there was a loud bang, would that mean i would need a new fuse or can i just adjust these potentiometers?
I have a slim 250G power supply model EADP 220BB. There are no adjustable screws. I've seen this model tons of times. Other ppl posting the same thing. What about the other model? How can I fix this problem. the red light turns on but when I press the power button it turn on and immediately turns off again and the red light blinks. If I keep on trying for a long time eventually it goes on and I could play for hours. The next day the same thing happens. Takes forever to turn on and stay on. Sometimes I have no patience and give up... Somebody help.. Do I have options or do I need to get a new power supply?
Did you find a fix ?
Mine dont have those tabs, what do we do for the version without the tabs?
GREAT THANK YOU. IT WORKS.....
Hi! What the model of PS3 Slim in video - CECH 20xx or 25xx or 30xx?
Yeah sometimes it's difficult to figure out what is wrong. Just use trial and error by removing parts, hard drive, blu ray and swapping the psu. Also try changing the on off data ribbon. Worst case it could be a motherboard problem
So I got up to the point at 4:15 where he uses the "tabs" to open up the PSU, but the PSU I have doesn't have these tabs. Any ideas?
Awesome tutorial but is there a way to do this to the super slim model?
ayy man thanks for the video it worked but I messed up real bad I was so mad because I was trying everything and I got lazy and didn't want to put it back together and I just put it in as is then I tried to take to put it back together and dam thing started shooting sparks like the 4th of July
Great information sir
Very good tutorial, but my power supply doesn't open the way that yours does. I have the EADP-200DB and the power supply unit doesn't have the little holes with clips that you describe. Is there a different way to open mine, or will I have to replace it?
i have two little screws just like them but not beside each other one is about half a centimetre higher than the other should it still work
Mine didn't come with a marked line, i was trying to clean dust out of the PSU and now I disaligned them from there original position. How will i know how it originally was? Thats my only issue.
I did the two screws anti-clockwise as stated & it worked great , this was last night, but just an hour ago it did it again! Any help?
Hi mate,
ive one APS-270 PSU and now have the problem that i didnt mark the original position, does someone know the default value for the trimmer so i can reset it?
Thanks
Can u teach me how to open the side screw of the PSU, mine is stuck there and the head is broken.
Good one Liam
Got a question for you Steve Nixon: How likely is this the issue in a broken power unit and not the fuse? You have any idea? I'm just curious because I'm looking at a broken one now on ebay and if I could just fix it this way I would certainly buy for the cheap price. Thanks!
What kind of screws did u use to remove the psu?
What are these potentiometers for?
Can you damage the PS3 if you turn them too much?
Is it safe to just keep on turning them, until you reach the the spot where it works properly?
Mine the red light goes on for a few seconds and then shuts off. Do you think is the same thing?
Hervorragend die Ps3 läuft wieder...
hi I turned mine and when I push in the power supply my power light and eject like come on the eject light blinks and the power button stays while the fan is blowing hard and fast
What kind of fuse does the ps3 slim carry?
