Hello i play with PS3 one or two hours later it shuts down itself and no stand by red light when i try turn on it doesnt work. If i plug off power socket out and in red light came back and it works. What do you guess which part is broken?

Probably too dusty inside and shuts off to prevent overheating.

Your description of the problem sucks so who knows but my best guess is power supply or maybe you fucked something up reassembling it after doing thermal paste. Try reseating connections, especially hard drive. Try rebuilding file system while you’re at it, might as well bc it only takes a minute

Try with a different PSU, if it doesn't work, then maybe it's some failed capacitor; test (all of) them and see if they still have the same capacitance.

Ambient temperature
Air intake/filter
Fan
Thermal paste
Check the AC output, plug it in a different part of the house.


My friends issue was that he was running it sitting on the floor and it was 30c inside, it just couldn't deal with the ambient temperature. I got him a clip on fan that just blew air over the unit, problem solved.

Swapping to an SSD is supposed to save a few degrees of temp.

Not OP, but I was given a PS3 slim exhibiting the same issue. From what I read the PSU dies frequently and I haven't looked further since I don't use the system.

If your PC is of sufficient power just emulate the games, I understand the appeal of playing on original hardware but it's not worth it most of the time.

Opening the PS3 and cleaning/replacing cooling paste are good steps
Other posters have told you already that the problem is probably in the PSU. Does that not help you further?

Learn how to deal with unhelpful assholes, or go to reddit if you can't deal with it.
