Hi, I already wanted to join this forum for a little while and now was the perfect time to join... My ps3 slim shuts off randomly without any sign of overheating or stuff... 1. I read all other topics but somehow they're all different probs then mine 2. It was on a shelf for 1,5 year and I never expirienced any problems until now 3. It just turns off itself no beeps, no red lights blinking and no yellow lights blinking 4. I removed my ps3 from the shelf and put it on my table, still it turns off... 5. I opened all my windows to make it cool in my room... It was really cold, but it still turned off 6. I cleaned it with the vacuumcleaner, no results the problems still remains. 7. It shuts off at random times, sometimes after 6 hours, sometimes after 3 mins or after 2 hours. Very random 8. It's not smoking hot when it's turning off. I already called Sony and they said: Overheating, dust or a broken cable. I apologize for any spelling mistakes, English wasn't my greatest subject at school... Please help me! I want to play! Kind Regards, Offroaderr

had this problem with my 360, basically try plugging it into a different plug socket, could be a problem with that.

Probably a short in the power chord, or your socket. It may be as simple ans it's not plugged in tight enough
