Ylod, can be fixed using a reballing machine, shop near me does em pretty cheap, but the cost of repair is erractic.

Im assuming you have a fat PS3, if so, depending on cost, get it. You might want to think about selling it and getting a new(er) one.

If its switching off after 10 mins take it apart clean it and sell it to cash converters or someone like them who in my opinon take advantage of those who are skint

I'm hoping this does the trick for me. Replaced the lens successfully and all worked, but after reassembling the loading motor won't engage... :(

I try to give you props at reg, but i guess your ps3 nick isnt the same as on here. I have fixed two different ps3 now, and both couldnt make it passed a one day test. Being an computer tech, and know I was on the right track to breath a longer life into these machine...thought maybe a little more reading from some who been fixing them may help. Short of redesigning the damn thing, not sure what to do. Hoping to find a real cheap way to upgrade the cooling system. New to the ps3, but I see why people like it. But it is still not better than the work horse called the fat ps2.
IMHO!

wondering if anyone could help. I have an older model ps (cech-001) and the usb ports have stopped working. Its a daughter board and i have bought a replacement that did not fix the issue. was curious if anyone else has had the same issue and/or if anyone has repaired it. thx in advance.
sounds like a possible south bridge issue. disassemble and push down with force on south bridge and try to use usb while holding force on the south bridge. if this makes it work the south bridge will need to be reflowed at minimum, best to be reballed. try if don't work reply and there are other possible issues
On second hand before you disassemble the unit, how about giving the usb ports a simple power test. if you have a digital multimeter even a cheapo from a hardware store this is very easy. test each pin as shown and compare your reading to that of the diagram, you need to know were the problem is if its in the d communication or the power. these are two different problems. reply with your findings. and be careful!! not to touch the ground leg of port to any other leg. smd fuses can be hard to find sometimes when you pop them

ps3 slims can be very tricky in comparison to a phat to diagnose. but if it runs for several minutes before shutting down i would have to guess your machine is dirty on the inside and needs to be cleaned and have new paste applied. or as i call it in my shop ( a tune up) i do as i call tune ups all the time and well extends the life of the ps3
