How to fix a PS3 that enters fan test mode by itself 9 out of 10 times
Hello everyone,
So here is the deal with my PS3. I own a fat 40 gb version PS3. The eject and power button have stopped working 2-3 years back. I used to power it on by its remote. I was not able to use my PS3 for around 1-1.5 years at all. When i took it out again it wouldn't start with the remote also and there was already a disc inside. I disassembled it and cleaned it. Since then it has started entering the fan test mode spontaneously. It would do like that most of the time. The ps3 will beep, red light turns green by itself and fans will go full speed then again two beeps and shuts down with no display. Switching on and off will again result in same. Only after so many tries and after few days i am able to start it by inserting a disc when it stays at red light by itself and doesn't jump to this fan test mode. I even have replaced the thermal paste with a good quality one.
I cant find any solution to this. What can i do to make it not to jump into fan test mode everytime? any help please.
Is this a good question?
