- PS3 Slim 320GB model, won´t show video(either HDMI or AV), audio and won´t sync any controller.
- On start, PS3 Green light comes up but nothing happens. No sound or video.
- Insert game or any disc into the slot, blue blinks and again nothing happens.
- Try to assign wireless controller, nothing happens.
- Try restart the console, unplug it for a while, or keep it on for long time again does not solve the problem.
Green light of the death. GLOD
FIXED: I solved the problem putting 4 pennies covered of thermal compound arctic silver over the headspreader of the RSX to push it to the motherboard.

And by FIXED you mean STILL BROKEN
Thanks so much dude,
I exited out of BO2 and went to CZcams and this happened
This was so much help
Thanks for your comment! I´m happy to hear that it has worked for you! :)
omg.....spot on it works....THANK YOU, now i don't have to talk to my boyfriend anymore...
Video still helpful in 2020. Great job!!!!
Do You have any pictures to know, how it's the method??
@@DJtheck same here I need the pictures
Yo man i wanna know if your ps3 still working cuz im not sure if it’s ok to put penny’s into a system
i need the pictures
OK so I got a different GLOD it happens sometimes in game or I hold down PS he button and I say yes exit game and it stays on a black screen for a long time so I go to the ps3 and press the button and it makes 3 beeps and the green light is still on but the TV screen is completely black its on but then I have to unplug the ps3. Please help me I don't want to lose all the memory on the system. The ps3 is only 5 yrs old....
WORKED FOR ME!!! LIKED!!! Except put 4 pennies on both chips so that way you don't have to worry about it again. Tried this on a 160GB slim CECH-2501A and works perfectly and have had no problems since!!!
Do you have to put thermal compound on them?
Melvin Dickson yes get some rubbing achohal an clean the old stuff off then put new thermal paste on with the pennies
I've bumped my ps3 slim and I've the GLOD, whit these tutorial I can repair it! Thanks
you have to put the pennies on the top of the RSX. If you clean the thermal compound before, it´s written on the metal which one is the RSX and which is the CPU.
Thanks man you saved my life :D that was a good idea, i had a Glod on my fat. I used copper plate under Rsx with paste and now its working good :) Fan runing high a bit but ps3 is ok :D
The uploaded picture to imageshack doesn’t show up. Do you still have the photos? Appreciate your help
I have the same symptoms but the thing is my controller syncs fine tho, and the HDD light indicator is flashing when I turn on/off my console. Also my TV screen is flashing when I turn the console off. Any Ideas?
This problem happed to me the other day I replaced my hard drive and it's working like a champ!
Had the same problem too.... But when I saw this I was like "no way!!!!!" Thanks for the tip! :D
It worked thank u so much man really appreciate it
Pls I clicked on that your pictures link but couldn't see any picture. I have exactly the same problem and after watching your video, I bought the arctic silver but don't know where to apply it as I couldn't see the picture on your description link. Kindly help me with the pictures. Thank you
yes, I´ve tried with another tv and I also have change the power supply. Finnaly I solved the problem putting 4 pennies over the headspreader of the RSX to push it to the motherboard.
How
It's worked man thanks so much 😢❤
absolutely fantastic solution. I've tried everything to fix my friends 250gb slim to no avail. i saw this and thought I would give it a shot it worked first time and has worked ever since.
4 pennies work for me but fan run full blast and red led blinking although i use a lot of thermal compound. any help ?
xinhzai11 what is the penny trick I can't find it and where
The red light on my PS3 won't show up preventing me from turning on my PS3 and yes the cords are connected and i'v tried blowing in the plugs but it still won't work
hi, I got the same problem. I could not see your pictures, please reupload. What do you mean by pennies?
Does anyone knoes where you get the srew driver from ? the one you use to open the ps3
dude really u just saved me a lot my slim was drivin me crazy wit the same problem and crazy but true the penny's did da trick ... so much thanks 2 u ...
holy shit this really worked , saw the vid. said dam I got da same prob. looked at da pic's made sure I put da penny's in da right spot and boom workin like a charm , thanks 2 u , ur da boss
I have something to add to this. If you go through the trouble of buying arctic silver and opening the machine, just replace the old thermal paste on the GPU and CPU chips and increase the tension on the clamps by bending them more. That's essentially what is happening with the pennies pushing the GPU to the board more flush. I bypassed the pennies by bending the clamps a bit and it worked perfectly! Thanks for the info in your vid
LOL, you beat me to it. The pennies are just pushing the processor into the board. Simply bending the clamp is the same thing.
Wade's Body Shop what clamps do you bend
Wtf y'all actually put pennies in your system? Lol that can't be good for your system bro...lololol
When your bending, are you bending inward or outwar
JOOOOOOOEEEEEERRRRR TIOOOO!!! Me funciono, te debo la vida!!!!!!!!!!!
Hola. Vos sabes que me pasa lo mismo, los pusiste arriba del RSX las monedas y despues cerraste todo?
yes, It´s under the fan, take off all the screws and you have to remove the old thermal compound of the RSX (RSX is written on there). Just put the pennies over it covered by thermal compound :)
is the fix permenent or mine happaned after i changed the termal paste
bit of a long shot, but does anyone have a written solution to this? the images redirect and the description is vague
American pennies are now something like 95% Zinc and coated with 5% Copper.
You got to go back to the early 80's to find mostly copper pennies.
My nephews PS3 has black screen of death but also does not recognize the controller when plugged in.
Already have it half way apart wondering if i should try this......
One question.... Have u ran into anymore issues considering the coins?
yes thank you that happened to my ps3 when there was a power outage and that fixed it!!
So this specific order of problems is unfixable or what because this happen to me rn
How do I fix this crap? It come on but won't go off, then it won't show up on my tv. Idk what to do, I been looking it up since forever but ain't nobody saying how to fix it!
Have you tried hold the power button down till you get a second beep to make sure its not a video setting malfunction.
When I hold down my power button it turns green for a few seconds and then shuts off as if there is now power
no i never did i jut took out my hard drive and threw the ps3 away (the reason i did was becasue i got it on sale for $150 and it would cost me more than i paid for it to fix it
ok so what does it mean when it doesn't work... mine is doing exactly what you showed in the video... I put the pennies in... still nothing. mines a fatty but other then that theres no difference. Advice?
GRACIAS GENIO!!!!!ME RE SIRVIÓ,POR EL MOMENTO LA USE UNAS HORAS Y ANDUVO MUY BIEN!!ESPERO QUE DURE!!USE 4 MONEDAS DE 10 CENTAVOS!!UNA VES MAS GRACIAS!!!
PD:"Soluciones simples a problemas complejos"
hOLA. uNA PREGUNTA LAS 4 MONEDAS LAS PUSISTE SOBRE EL RSX AL CPU NO LE PUSISTE NADA, LAS PUSISTE JUNTAS LAS MONEDAS SEPARADAS HICISTE ALGO EN ESPECIAL? XQ VOS SABES Q TENGO EL MISMO PROBLEMA HICE LO DE LAS MONEDAS DE 10CENTAVOS PERO NO ARRANCA TAMPOCO :S
You´re welcome! Thanks for your comment!
I cannot thank you enough for this solution, man. I have been pulling my hair out trying to find a solution. Thank you so much!
What is this solution
@@Morro_theghost7 it's in the description of the video
Hi, i recently jailbroke my ps3 and when i was done i shut it down, now when i try to turn it on it gives me a green light(but no beep) the controller wont connect, theres no display, and i cant turn it off without pulling the plug. Any advice?
Im in the same boat as u bro. I think i bricked my console
I fixed mine by smashing it. This pissed me off more than anything!
Thanks my man it worked
same thing happend to me i have it on HMI1/DVI What i do know do it to AV?
Is it suppose to fix after that? I just did it and it stayed the same?
My ps3 won't show up on my tv.. I tried resetting the input/output while it was connected to my HDMI cable and again with just the av cables and again with both at the same time.. my green light is coming on the yellow hdd lights flash for a few seconds after letting the power button go but still nothing... please help idk what else to do..
i am having this right now, i can however get into recovery menu, selecting rebuild filesystem will get me into the black screen again so that's no luck ... what to do\?
you can buy it in ebay, just make sure it is "arctic silver 5" and you can apply it with a credit card or something similar.
kulunguele9, tell me something: This process you teach do not endure much time, right? I've saw others tutos that says this method is just for take off our stuff from a new PS3, it's right?
hi i dont understand where do you put your 4 pennnies?
After doing the pennies, the fan on the ps3 slim once its been on for just 5 seconds will get noisy and there absolutely no dust in the ps3 slim. Thoughts?
I'm having the EXACT same problem! I already tried holding it down and it still doesn't work... Please someone help me!!
Try taking the plug out and blowing on the back
Ok thanks!
Jacob Lansing if its any thing like a Nintendo it will work
Jacob Lansing OMG THAT ACTUALLY WORKED
wow this really works bro thanks sooooo much!!!!!!!!!!
***** he put how he fixed it in the description
***** what kind of thermal compound did you use and try a washer instead
***** redo it buy the $5 one artic something
your board must have fried in the first attempt
new ps3 then
thnx just tried it n it worked
A mi me pasa el mismo problema, el tema que yo la tenía chipeada y no se podía actualizar hasta que fue actualizada y después empezó hacer lo mismo, prende pero no da nada de imagen la tv ni nada, probé con otra fuente y tampoco nada. Vs pudiste encontrar alguna solución?
happened to me aswell have you fix it
That´s great! Thanks for your comment! ;)
Pls help my ps3 turns on but no signal I tried resetting it
I´m glad to hear that! Congratulations and enjoy your ps3!
OMG THANK YOU I CAN FINALLY PLAY PS3!
What did you do ?
How
You haven't fixed anything. You are just bullshitting........
i have a question my ps3 slim 320gb works sometimes hours with no problem but sometimes it freezes then shuts no lights at all then i try to reboot it goes on no video nothing stays for about 10 seconds on then shuts down ist it the psu or what now???
THIS WORKED WHAT THE DERN HECK O MUH GAWD. If yours doesn't beep twice, just hold it down and let it power cycle a couple of times. Worked for me. Peace love and crabs.
Hey im not sure if i have glod because it wont connect to the tv or controller but if i do the recovery it does but then it freezes if i try to restart or update system also when i try to restore default settings (supposed to take 5 mins) i was waiting an hour and then i just turned it off. im pretty pissed off because i only bought it like 4 days ago
Same Problem with me!
me too
did you ever get it fixed
I don't know if any of you managed to get your consoles sorted, but that sounds like a corrupt HDD. Remove your HDD and see if the console displays a cannot start message. If if does (because the HDD has the firmware) then you replace the HDD and install the latest firmware version using a USB flash drive. If not (like me) then it is the GPU. The guy I bought mine from on eBay is about to experience a shit storm of biblical proportions...
Mine is going only to the green light and then just shutting off when I try this. No video, no controller. Any ideas?
you have ylod
rsx/gpu chip needs to be reballed
Caitlin Rodgers mine does it too 😭
I’ve just got this. Starts and then you can hear the fan stop and the green light flashes. Hopefully it’s just the thermal paste and nothing too serious. Just as long as I manage to get it working again to save my saves I’ll be good.
@Ahmer Huaasin Yes temporarily. Used thermal paste and then transferred data to a usb and I have a new ps3 now
@Ahmer Huaasin I would just transfer your saves to a usb and get a new ps3 because it will only fix it for a short while
It's not a GLOD it's because your video settings were set wrong. Holding it down once reset it already...
I'm going to try this but why pennies? is it the copper or? just the first thing that happened to work?
okay im 14 years and im so going to get myself some thermal compound arctic silver
YAAAY oops where do i buy this??
mmmm do i take apart my pc?
Do you need to heat sink before adding the pennies?
so without the termal paste will it work and why the thermal paste ?
Look I had a connection problem then my screen didn't work I tried to restart nothing but the controller sync idk what to do
Same and my dad spent £55 on it to get fixed but the didn't do anything apart from break the power button and the blue light above the eject button I'm so fucking pissed off
your pics won't show up. What's pennies?
did you put it on the card or on the back?
how can you fix this?Please show us how because I really dont understand the description
It worked thank god! :D
si funciona ! con mis 4 monedas de 10 centavos y con pasta termica , soy de argentina
thanks! yes!! my ps3 re up
Hola. Te hago una pregunta las monedas las pusiste arriba del RSX? O sea abriste la play sacaste el ventilador la placa sola y pones las mones, y dsp cerras todo?
Does the pennies have to be covered in Arctic silver?
i didn't know there was a green light of death. I got the same problem, but i have the feeling my ps3 starts when the top of the case is removed. This happened after todays fw update (again), so i guess the a/c is going to hot.
yes where exactly did you push it down?
Same shit happened to me after my mom threw my ps3 on the floor, i don't want to lose all my saved games and now i don't know what to do!
Woow i will tell you hwo hen strating ps3 hold powe button you will heare 2 bebes then it goest to stand by mode do it agin and then 3rd time or 2nd if it didnt turn off wait a sec and then boom plug controler and then preesrestart seystym it happend to me hope this works
+seif gaming did u pass the 2nd grade
yah sorry I SWEAR TO GOD ITS MY KEYBOARD just do what i told you to fix it :)
Sean Mahoney
You think you can tell me exactly where to put the pennies,i would greatly appreciate it.
How do u fix it????mine does the same thing
It would actually be better to do the copper shims fix on this because it provides less of a gap between the gpu and heatsink.
Is there any way that I could fix my
PS3 without having to put pennies inside of it?
Fixing a broken BGA connection applying extra force from the top. As soon as that connection is broken again (oxidation on the surfaces of the cracked ball) your PS3 will GLOD again.
Yes, check the photos I´ve just added to the description of the video. Hope it works for you! :)
can you tell me the exact name of the thermal compund?
There's no such thing is "glod"... These models don't really get any "lights of death" especially a green one..lol
But I'm glad you fixed it, usually it's a simple heating/ventilation problem fixed by cleaning out all dust inside and reapplying thermal paste.
The 4 pennies worked for me!
yes they are good for a a little more time but actually the video processor heats up very hot and than the your chip will melt the connection to the motherboard Sony made a cheap cooler and even the ps4 is heating up so hot i think they will have the same problem small heatsink with a small fan
How do you do that?
Thanks man!
How simple is this process because I don't trust myself to do much for fear of breaking something.
My ps3 in doing the same thing, how long did this last for your ps3? will i be able to play games again without break?

+BRWfilms Yep I haven't had any other problems 😀
i used a quarter on the cpu and gpu and it worked until i put every thing back in the case now its not working again.. should i put pennies and how many? just one or enough to cover the whole gpu?
Maybe you got a loose hdmi port or broken hdmi cable.
Can someone please help me I have a problem. I turn on my PS3 and when I click it it doesn't turn of and when I hold down on it I don't hear the three beeps to reset it. I hold it down and all it does is turn off. There is also nothing on the tv when it's on. Somebody please reply🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨
me too.... after the 4.80 update...
The update possibly bricked your console, and that is a whole mess im not to sure on how to fix
no it didnt
Same
im have a same plobrem what im need to do ?
Okay thnx! You're so kewl xD
Tried that, doesn't work. I did the penny fix, but now my PS3 is as loud as a hairdryer, I might try changing the heat paste under the RSX with arctic silver.
is there another way of doing this? cause i do all the steps but finally nothing happens, seriously answer this please.
