PS3 Ps3 slim crashes upon slightly tapping the console.

Update: it fully died today.
I turn it on and it dosent make it to the xmb menu, the green light will stay on for a bit then it will turn off the light without the red light showing.

Its fucking depressing when i have to deal with always not having money for myself, even if its just a little bit, thing is everytbing i have always fucks up after a year of 2 after buying it, im so fucking sick of everything in my fucking life breaking because i have nothing else to do and no money to fix it. People always assume I just break shit because im careless or dont treat kt right and it pisses me off because i try with every fiber of my being to protect and care for the only little things I have left to enjoy myself. God I fucking hate ps3 slims. I had a ps3 fat from near release date untill 2 years ago when it finally stopped working because it would crash when i try to launch any application, plus the disk drive stopped working as well, had no money and still dont have money to fix these 2.

A green light?
A broken/poor contact solder ball can cause that,

Try to press on the console while turning it on,if it turns on normally than it's a broken/poorly contacted solder ball.
 
Well frick, I stood on where the airflow and heat synk are (im 140 and i was putting more weight on myself too) and the console booted up, i knocked on it a few times, getting harder and nothing happening, I let my foot off and it froze.

Hold on? You were putting 140+ kg just to verify? You madlad, you are going to bend the board and indeed damage the solder joints, just a press with your fingers was enough, that's like 1Kg of force. [emoji23]

The good news is if pressing towards the Chips, makes your PS3 Boot again, then the solder-joints has suffered a impact shock, which now reballing will indeed be useful, and its the right way to repair the impact shock caused by drooping it.

Ive seen several of these cases specialy with the PlayStation2, when the console would froze on the start up, upon putting some pressure on the Emotion Engine chip, the console would resume the normal operating environment,and that also was caused by you guess it, dropping the console.

So is this the problem where you need to use the Pressing Machine on Cell and RSX? @Vishera @Naked_Snake1995

What pressing machine? You need no pressing machine, just press it with your hand, 1Kg of force with your hand should be enough, using a pressing machine (idk what the hell its even that to begin with), not only will damage the board further, and the solder-joints as well, this, and i repeat THIS ITS ONLY WHEN REBALLING ITS USEFUL.

The solution is reballing,
So my gut feeling was true! :D

I have dealt with a few consoles that had this problem,
That's why i know all the symptoms like the green light and etc.
 
Update, its my psu, I feel dumb for standing on the CPU/GPU. Ill do the atx tezt and if I have a power supply thats safe for the ps3 I'll just use an atx for until I can afford a new psu.

Ill make a video of demonstration.
 
Ah nice, but I cant locate the 12 and 5 volt connections on here.

Big update, I found a power supply that was successful in putting my ps3 into standby mode, but when I tried turning it on the light went green and then it turned off, similar to if a ps3 psu is not connected to the 2 prongs for the power supply.
 
Update, I have to press on this little area for it to work.

In the point where you are pressing the metal shield doesnt touches the motherboard components
I mean... you are applying the force in a point where the metal is curved... so the affected areas are located somewhere else
Most probably what happens when you press at that point is the motherboard is bending entirelly at half

Maybe is something related with the SATA connector that is closer to where you was pressing

If i am not mistaken the system can boot without the SATA connector,but it will just show an error on the screen.
Also the RAM and CPU are very close to the point he pressed on.
