i wanted to blow it out with compressed air, it was never opened before so there was no modchip. i also checked the motherboard and there is no solder slash or bridge.

Did you also checked for broken traces? Could also be corrosion on the motherboard it self (and on traces). Did you cleaned it with isopropyl alcohol?

I'll clean the motherboard and then post if it worked.

Orange flashing:

Problem: If there was a mod installed then it is most likely due to a solder splash, solder bridge, or a broken trace.

Fix: Search around to see if you can find a solder splash, solder bridge or cut trace. If you find either of the solder problems desolder them.

Why did you opened the console at first place? Anyway, also make sure everything is connected as it should and that it’s not overheating.
