PS3 problem

[Dr_dog]

is that "power thingy" the power supply inside or what? Sounds like an overheating or electrical shorting that shutsdown to prevent damage.. Slims running really really hot after while so i would guess its overheating..

It's not overheating,
It's indeed the power supply inside, and it's a by song unknown but by players known problem.
specially for ps3-slim 120gb versions made and sold in okt/nov/dec 2009.

I found a guy who can might help me get a replacement and he can hopefully help me install it myself.

Oh yeah dog, my ps3 is not getting hot at all. and the cooler is still doing his job perfectly.

This might work?
It's worth the try? cause otherwise it needs to be removed anyways and replaced.

My slim (320GB) runs damn hot.. I measured the exhaust air to be around 50-60C.. I dont know why they put the only fan there horizontally which is not as effective as normally vertically

Found the problem.
In dutch we call it "voeding" I think in english it's the power supply or at least the big black thing inside the ps3 xD
I will let it fix by someone who knows what he's doing, costs will be arround 80euro total.
