Fan goes crazy when PS3 is turned on

Please help me, i teardowned a ps3 yesterday to clean it from dust, i didnt touched/destroyed anything. Inside the PS3 i just used a brush to remove the dust, then when i turned it on. The fan went into a overdrive, going all crazy, then after like 10 seconds it shutsdown.

And it keep repeating itself all the time, its a CECHL004

i have tried to replace the fan with another one, same problem occured, i replaced the PSU (power supply unit)

Did you repaste the CPU and GPU? If you did not do this that's why your PS3 is going into a protection mode. The idea is it prevents the CPU and GPU from getting damaged, since not having thermal paste prevents proper thermal transfer. I'd suggest new thermal paste before you do anything else.

Assuming the system was taken apart (or you don't need the guide again, here's a rough idea of how to do it on the PS3:

Try doing this to fix the Blu-Ray issue. If it doesn't fix it it's the laser.
