Hello, so my ps3 was beginning to run very loudly. As in jet-engine loud. Took the ps3 apart, cleaned it out well and applied new thermal paste to the heat sink. Turned the ps3 back on and now it overheats within 30 seconds to 1 minute (message on screen) the light would turn yellow for a split second then blink red. Took it apart again to make sure everything was hooked up correctly, double checked that the cpu and heat sink were touching sufficiently applied new thermal paste and put it back together again. Now I am getting no signal input, the ps3 is shutting down after about 1 minute.(I'm assuming from overheating).
It appears as though the fan is spinning when I turn the ps3 on, but stops immediately. I did the fan test (held in the eject button while turning the power on) and the fan did NOT come on. At this point, I don't know if this is proof the fan is bad? Not getting an input signal is concerning me as well, I don't want to buy a replacement fan if there is another problem as well. Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated... I'm ready to pull my hair out over this! Thanks
