Okay, so I pressed the PS button on the controller to turn my PS3 on. Like always. And then it made a beep sound, and then the next thing I know, my console has no power. No lights. Nothing. I look at the power cord and it's connected to the wall outlet.


So I'm very confused by this point and I unplugged the power cord and the cables and then put it back in, and it was able to turn on. Sooo what happened??? Why wasn't my PS3 able to turn on when I pressed the PS button on the controller? I heard the beep sound, which indicates that the system is turned on. But then I looked at the TV and nothing was there. So I looked back at the console and all the power was gone.


Anyone have any ideas on what happened? My system works fine now. But the way it just shut off by itself is bothering me.

Um....no. You clearly didn't read my post. Or you just misread it. I said there was no light. No nothing. The power was off. Wasn't even in standby mode. And the power cord was plugged in to the wall outlet. So how is that a YLOD? I didn't see a yellow light. Nor did I see ANY light for that matter...

LOL! Mine is the 160 one XD Did your PS3 just not respond when you pressed it? Was the console even in standby mode? Or was it just completely turned off lol.

Well, my 160GB will NEVER die!!! I just got it a week ago too. So it wouldn't make any sense for it to die now...lol.

60's are easily the hardest working ps3's available...err unavailable. backwards compatibility makes that thing a gem. wish i had one, considering all the ps2 games i still have

test your wall out let or surge protector by pluging in something else. if that shows that the out let is ok then most likely you eather have a bad power cord or your ps3's power supply ect has died.
