Switch on power at the back switch, still keeping your finger on the front switch.
The fan will sound loud doing this, it isn't just an emergency disc eject function it's also a fan test.
Aw shit that sucks. Overheating most like. There are things you can do but probably only end up being a short term fix. You can leave it off for awhile and try again but probably end up getting the ylod.Quote:

If it doesn't then you could try pulling the HDD out and turning the console on.
Besides checking to see if the HDD is the issue I'm not sure what you can do in your situation :shrug:
Are you sure it doesn't show green light, then yellow very briefly, then red light?
can't get that to work it just red green red off.Quote:

Are you turning it off and on at the back switch?Quote:

Maybe it's the psu that's the problem? :thot:
I tried pulling the drive same result red green red beep than the red light just flashes till I push it again.Quote:

fan doesn't turn on when trying to do the test the whole red green red only last about 1 sec.Quote:

Put the HDD back in and try turning the console on. Make sure the screw for the HDD is secure but don't go crazy on it, those screws are easily damaged.
YLOD isn't a solid yellow light. It's an extremely brief flash of yellow before going red, it can be very easy to miss if you're looking for a full yellow light.
If you're 100% sure it isn't ylod then it's entirely possible it's just the psu that is faulty. Yeah there's still some power there but not enough to run the console properly.
But given the fact that the BD drive is dead I dunno if it's worth trying to get this working again tbh :shrug: Unless you can find a donor console (salvage the psu) for free that is ylod.

YLOD you can try a reflow yourself if you feel you have nothing to lose, but even if you get it working it will fail again eventually.
If you have some thermal paste there and wanna try a reflow it's best to apply new paste. You could also replace the thermal glue under the heat spreader with thermal paste but removing the spreader can be a tricky job, you need to use an oil painting knife (it's easy to damage other components).
I decided to open it up so I could check the psu for power it is getting power seems a little inconsistent 3-5v to the switch. as for reflowing I don't have thermal paste and for it to only be a temp fix doesn't seem worth it.Quote:

If you get a slim just be careful about 25xx, the exploit doesn't work on all of them. 20xx and 21xx are exploitable.

Hopefully you can still return it. Seems like you just got it so if it was from eBay or a store you should be okay. I know you said where you got it before but it's early and my brain isn't functioning yet. ^_^Quote:

Only one thing to do now, go through its pockets and look for loose change. :wacko:Quote:
