PS3 doesn't boot, no video, green light

"Have you tried holding down the power button at boot? While the PS3 is off, press and hold the power button until you get a second beep, then release the button. This should reset your PS3 to use whatever component cables are connected. This is necessary when you change component cables, especially when you switch from HDMI to regular cables.

I don't think its a power supply issue since you are getting a green light meaning the PS3 is turning on. If it was a bad HDD, then it would still turn on and would give you the HDD error code. And it's definitely not the yellow light of death.

It could be a bad input connection to the motherboard or a bad motherboard. I would try the HDMI. That might do the trick."

"hey there i have had this problem i have fixed it :-) it only cost 20cents ... :-)

the problem with mine was no vid,no audio, cant geting to safe mode, takes discs blue light blinks but thning else....

the way i fixed it was open the unit remove rom,power,card reader ... you see the preasure plates for the GPU and the CPU take them off and put a coin (about 1.2mm thick)one coin in the middle where the preasure plate will go for both gpu and cpu... put it all back together push start and it will work... it worked for me ... really you need to reflow the gpu... green light means video yellow means cpu :-)

The gpu is coming away from the main board is the problem with mine :-)

hope this helps :-) i would say if you have it this far appart just change the thermo paste while your at it.....

post something on here if this helps you :-)

best thing about this fix is you dont blast it with heat to fix it..."

remove the hard drive and press the power button twice quickly, then wait.

it should be the hard drive , i had two ps3 the came in that would turn on fine except with no image or audio, the first one when i plugged the hdmi in it was extremly loose so i ruled it as the hdmi , it made sense that it would be the hdmi so i left it like that , the second one i had already worked on , it was having issues trying to format the hard drive and when it did it took a whole day, when the customer brought it back it was turnign no but with no image. so i thought to my self....hmmmm the hard drive was having problems before maybe if i test another one on there it could fix or make it better so i did and as soon as i installed a used one the video came on and i did had to format that hard drive and install an update but that got video and audio back on , thats not it , i got the first ps3 that i thought was the hdmi and i installed another used hard drive and got image on that ps3 again so wala

Thank you! You helped me fix my daughters ps3! Red light was on when ps3 was off & when turned on ps3 green light would be on but nothing on TV this happened for 8 months. We hanged cords but nothing worked. Today I was about to purchase another ps3 but decided to search how to fix it. This post said to hold down the button when in off mode so I did for 10 seconds & it finally came on the screen. Thank you for your help!

i have a ps3 slim and when i turn it on the green light comes on and nothing comes on the tv, after a few seconds it the color turns to nothing its like the ps3 wasn't connected to the wall.
