If i replace the power supply unit will my ps3 work?

I would use your ebay protection plan, it appears to be defective.

That power supply that you bought is way too big. See this unit http://www.circotech.com/replacement-hp-pavilion-micro-atx-ps3-compatible-replacement-power-supply.html

HI, this is the result of a weak and, failing power supply unit. you will need to contact Sony for a power supply unit replacement procedure.

To clarify. Your power unit has failed.

Overheating is a big cause of power unit failure. To prevent this in the future. i recommend purchasing a aftermarket cooling device.

Hi, your power supply unit is damaged. it is unable to distribute the proper current at this time. you will need to replace the damaged power supply unit asap if possible.replacing it will restore normal functions.

HI, your power supply unit has failed. you will need to replace this power supply unit asap to restore normal functions.

I would invest in some cooling enhancement in the future to prevent this type of failure.

Hi, this is heat related and, this issue may have damaged your power supply board. if the red lights continue to flash after you have unplugged this unit for 5 minutes, this will confirm power board failure and, you will need to replace this circuit board.

You can purchase a replacement power supply unit at this link below and i also advise to purchase a cooling adapter for your system as well. this will prevent this form happening again in the future.

HI. if this unit isn't powering up, it could be an issue with the power supply board. To confirm this diagnosis, i would unplug this unit from the surge protector for about 5 minutes. once the 5 minutes are up, plug the unit into a regular wall socket. If the unit doesn't power back up after being unplugged for 5 minutes, this will confirm the power supply failure. you can order another power supply board form the manufacture or, you can simply send the unit back to Sony for this repair as well. If this unit is not plugged into a surge protector, it may have received a surge of some sort.

Please rate and god bless:)

US and Japanese power supplies are the same. The 60GB PS3's run hotter than any other models. I've never seen a power supply get hot, but if it is then it's probably a good idea to swap it since heat is the number one 60GB killer.

I just created a blog that has a ton of usefull PS3 info and tips. Please check it out here:

You both have bad power supplies inside your PS3 units. If they are still under warranty you can get the units exchanged by Sony. If not you can sell for parts or repair yourself. If replacing the power supply yourself, you can find a great PS3 disassembly tutorial at www.llama.com You will only need to go as far as opening the unit and swapping the power supply with a new or used one that works. I hope this helps you both. Good luck and happy gaming!!
