Power prloblem from standby it looks fine. when i power it up, it lights and then it goes out for a few seconds the back to standby

this is caused by a bad connection, or a faulty back light. It is also something you should have a local repair man have do for you if you are not "tech savvy".

probably have a blown channel in the amp section.

The clicks are coming from a mechanical relay in the standby supply for voltage---the standby power supply runs 7/24 if set is plugged into power.

What I would do if you are able is open set and on power board (power cord goes to it) look for and replace any filter caps that are puffed up there--the relay is possible but rarely bad in this way unless a solder connection under it is bad.

If caps are good you have a connection or bad part near the relay that likely is causing this problem.

Look closely at filter caps in power supply:






even one that is slightly puffed up can cause this, if find that and need to know what and how let me know.

Set is in protective shutdown--best thing is to take to a shop and get an estimate.

The fan is cooling the power suply and geting power from it the power suply is going bad the relay is turning the tv off to proteckt it's self.

first try video reset

when ps3 is in standby mode(red light)
press and hold the power button till you hear a second beep.

standby mode press hold power........"beep"......"beep"..release power button



then try rebuilding the database and the file system in recovery consol

to get to the recovery consol press and hold the power button when ps3 is in standby mode(red light) till you hear a double beep. sometimes the ps3 does a beep then another beep and goes back into standby thsi is fine just release the power and quikly press and hold it again till you get double beep.

like on my 80g system it goes like this

ps3 standby...press hold power.......beep .........beep........stanby again....release and hold power again.......beep .........double beep...release power now you should be in recovery menu.


then take it back as these steps will not void warrenty

bad connection

Try resetting the unit.
Make sure there is no disc in the unit. With the unit on, go to the front panel and look for the STOP (square) button.
Hold it down until the unit shuts off by itself. Turn it back on it shoudl work fine.

Go to control panel then power options>power schemes and see if system standby is enabled, it may have changed if done some major updates. also turn off screen saver if on as this may bring it out of standby
