PlayStation 3: PS3 doesn't boot, no video, green light

Sun, 15 Jun 2025 16:07:05 -0700

My PS3 60GB (CECHE01) recently stopped booting. I tried two new sets of cables, thinking it was my TV, but no luck. Next, I tried to access the Safe Mode/recovery menu, but still saw no output on the screen. I also tried Safe Mode on an old, composite input TV to rule out my primary TV—no love there either.

A controller connected to USB will not register; it just blinks all four LEDs slowly. It shows the same symptoms when connected with component and old-school composite cables. I have no HDMI available to test.

The green light is on, there's no "yellowish" light of death, and the HDD access light will blink once at boot, then stays off.

The HDD doesn't have any unusual noises (clicking, voice coil dead, etc.).

Since I can't even get into Safe Mode, does this mean it's motherboard or power supply?

Samsung Television: Will not turn on, no red light

Sat, 14 Sep 2024 11:49:47 -0700

I have a 65" UN65JS850DFXZA Samsung TV that will not power on. There is no red standby light. Nothing happens. Any suggestions would be great. It is not the remote. The set has power. I have unplugged the one connect device. I have left the set unplugged for hours. Still nothing.

My iPhone 4 keeps "searching" for a network. And it doesn't register "No Sim" when I remove this sim. I've opened it up, but I'm not sure if the blue coil is damaged.

Very simply, the L and R buttons on my DSi don't work anymore. I tried going to Nintendo about the problem, but they said it'd cost at least $50 to repair...and my system is long past its warranty. Will I have to take apart my DS to fix it?

Xbox 360 S: Won't turn on, but makes a beeping sound.

Sat, 09 Aug 2025 04:08:44 -0700

My Xbox 360 S wont turn on, but it makes a beep when I touch the power button and eject button. The power supply light is a solid Orange, and the USB ports look good. (nothing touching metal-saw this was a issue on youtube). I've done everything that Microsoft said to do, like unplug everything, change outlets and still nothing.

This is what happened:

I turned it on, everything was fine. there was a update, so I did the update. It loaded fine. i was at my home screen and the wife wanted to watch a movie so I went to "my video/movie". it just kept on loading and wouldnt load. So I turned the xbox off, and went to turn it back on and it wouldn't work.

HELP PLEASE. My warranty expired 5 months ago...my luck!
