Chosen Solution
I was in the kitchen and me and my sister heard a loud bang. I went in my room and my ps3 was on the floor. It fell pretty hard. It turns on, but you can’t see anything just a blank screen, controller won’t work with it, won’t go into safe mode, no audio. Please is their a solution that’s easy without having to pay, sell, or repair my ps3. I didn’t touch it for the whole night. I turned it on today and it went to the screen but froze with these weird color lines. So I turned it off and it’s still doing the same thing as forth as no ps3 screen, controller doesn’t work with it, no audio, won’t go into safe mode. Oh, and when I pressed the power button it turns on, the orange color dot blinks a few times then doesn’t blink no more. The green color dot doesn’t blink at all. So I have to hold the power button for about 10 seconds then it turns off. I’m 12 so please don’t let their be any hard work, repairing, selling, or paying. Please try to find a solution and if you do please let me know ASAP!-Lil Jordan P.S. please let their be a solution that won’t result in losing my saved game data.
Sorry to tell that I don’t think there’s an easy/cheap solution. Facts are facts and you need to go from there. There’s a heavy piece of metal that is driving the heat from the processor/graphic chips to the fan. It is strongly pressed to the chips to ease thermal transfer. When the console fell down, and from what you described, there’s a good chance that this heavy heatsink damaged the chips and/or their solder joins, or even the motherboard. IMHO, the only secure solution is to have it looked at by a repair shop.
