Like I mentioned last week Bertie, if you buy electricals from ebay allways ask for insurance,

It might have been FUNAR before sending hence buyer states no returns.

2nd class post, how do you think the post office handled it.

Was it marked "HANDLE WITH CARE" or "FRAGILE"

Best way, have you got a mate with PS3, can you take yours to thier house and test it on known cables/equipment and games.

Hope it's something simple.

Only thing I can think of Bertie is that maybe it is setup to use a different output than you are using.  Are you using scart or HDMI?  Try switching between them before condeming.  I have to switch between them because I have no surround sound (yet)

Give me a PM if you need more help :y

My sons says turn it on but keep holding the power button, it'll beep twice, when the system light goes red again let go of the button. This resets the video settings.

Hope it works mate  :y

Be wary of people who diagnose over the phone unless you trust their judgement.  Do you have a tv with hdmi input?  if not ask your neighbours....

Watch the lights on the console when you switch on.If you get a flashing yellow light or lights are going from green to yelow and then blinks red you have a problem with the mother board

Yep this did it for me when I bought my bro's ps3 off him

He had been using it on HDMI and it wouldnt work on my normal tv until I did the above.

Well worth a try.......!!!

I am repairing ps3 with the yellow light of death and have had a similar problem. To reset the video output hold the on/off switch and turn the power on  - there wil will a double bleep. Keep holding the button until the ps3 turns off (light turns red) turn off power, turn on power and press on/off console should operate - keep repeating until you get output. Motherboard problem is yellow light of death and I fix this for £40.
By the way biggest cause of YLOD is CODMW2 so be warned - every one that I fix has this disk in!!!!

I suspect thats because its the game of the moment lol

Do you have full surface mount re-flow repair capability or just applying the shim/heatsink bodge workaround?

Is this just a 60gb (mk1) problem or are all affected?
