<description><![CDATA[<p>I have a PlayStation 3 that will turn on, but it has no signal on my TV. I used an HDMI cable and have tried it in different ports on my TV. I even went back to the original cables that came with it to hook it up. What could be the problem?</p>

<title><![CDATA[DualShock 3: Why doesn't my PS3 controller work?]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>My PS3 controller recently stopped working after a friend borrowed it. It worked fine prior to his use, but now it seems like it has no power—and when I plug it in, it doesn't connect for charging. I can't use it and am wondering if it could be the lithium battery or if there is a soldered connection that came undone from the USB port. Can this be repaired or is this $50.00 controller that is less than a year old garbage?</p>

<title><![CDATA[PlayStation 4: PS4 won't turn on (No light or Beep)]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>I have had my PlayStation4 since release  and just recently it started to give me issues. The PS4 is connected to a working power socket and plug in correctly, however I can't get the PS4 to respond (turn on) in anyway. It won't turn on at all, I get no light or beep like others have. The PS4 won't turn on for the Controller or Disk input. Noting out of the norm changed so I don't understand what would have caused this. No falls, no power outages, no over heating. Any ideas? can this even be fixed?</p>

<title><![CDATA[PlayStation 4: Replace Broken HDMI Port]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>The HDMI output to my PS4 recently broke. The pins inside the PS4 jammed and broke off. Now my PS4 has no output signal.</p>

<p>I called Sony and was told it was user error so they won't replace it for me.</p>

<p>The port is missing at least 2 pins. I have already taken the PS4 apart and couldn't figure out a solution. Is this part replaceable? Where I can find the part?</p>

<p>Thank you,</p>

<title><![CDATA[PlayStation 3: PS3 doesn't boot, no video, green light]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>My PS3 60GB (CECHE01) recently stopped booting.  I tried two new sets of cables, thinking it was my TV, but no luck. Next, I tried to access the Safe Mode/recovery menu, but still saw no output on the screen.  I also tried Safe Mode on an old, composite input TV to rule out my primary TV—no love there either.</p>

<p>A controller connected to USB will not register; it just blinks all four LEDs slowly.  It shows the same symptoms when connected with component and old-school composite cables.  I have no HDMI available to test.</p>

<p>The green light is on, there's no &quot;yellowish&quot; light of death, and the HDD access light will blink once at boot, then stays off.</p>

<p>The HDD doesn't have any unusual noises (clicking, voice coil dead, etc.).</p>

<p>Since I can't even get into Safe Mode, does this mean it's motherboard or power supply?</p>

<title><![CDATA[PlayStation 3: How can I fix my PS3 controller?]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>I woke up this morning and my PS3 controller isn't working. It was working last night and charging all night long. There seemed to be something sticky on it (no idea what it might be.) I took the controller apart and cleaned it, and the sticky stuff only seemed to be on the buttons, not on the motherboard. I tried resetting it and changing the battery, and it still won't work. I've fixed small issues on PS3 controllers many times before. but this one I can't seem to figure out.</p>

<p>I was wondering if anyone knows exactly which part of the motherboard or other parts in the controller that make the power turn on? I was also thinking that it may be the PS button, but I don't know what's inside the controller that makes the PS button work either. So any advice would be helpful! Thanks.</p>

<title><![CDATA[PlayStation 3 Slim: Why does Playstation 3 slim shut down seconds after start up.?]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Ok. Plugging the cord into the wall brings up the red stand-by light. Pressing the power button you can hear the fan start up for a moment, then about 5 seconds later it shuts down. Red stand-by light disappears. Must unplug, then plug cord back into outlet for red light to reappear. I have bought a Power Supply Unit but that did not fix it. I do believe it was a different model then the one that was in it if that matters. Is it the power cord? The Power Supply? The Power Ribbon? Please help so desperate :(</p>

<title><![CDATA[DualShock 4: Water damaged, PS4 controller, how to diagnose and repair?]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>After a late night I stupidly deposited my PS4 controller on top of the dishes in my sink. The next day after looking all over for the controller, to my dismay, I noticed it perched atop my dishes. As I removed it <strong>small droplets escaped from the PS button and L/R handles</strong>. I waited until it dried sufficiently. Then I plugged it back into the HDMI charging cord. I waited a while since there was no light showing residual charge.</p>

<p>I turned my console on and could not get the PS button to respond, thereby barring me from its use. <strong>After charging it for a while,  a blue light flickered on and off intermittently</strong>. <em>Is there someway I could salvage my controller?</em></p>

<title><![CDATA[PlayStation 4: Cannot Insert Discs to PS4]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>I'm assuming what's pictured is the guard raised to keep the disc in the optical drive when one is inserted.</p>

<p>Utilizing the manual release did not lower it.</p>

<p>Resetting the device in safe mode did not resolve the issue.</p>

<p>Am I correct in assuming this is what keeps the disc in the drive?</p>

<p>Any idea on a manual reset?  I can press it down but it pops right back up.</p>

<p>Sorry for the blurry image.  If you can make out the black plastic guard that's what I'm referring to.</p>

<div class="imageBox imageBox_left"><img src="https://guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com/igi/CZJJOZrnnrEm1Kjv.standard" width="282" height="52" class="hasMenu hasLarge" alt="Block Image" onclick="window.open(&quot;https:\/\/guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com\/igi\/CZJJOZrnnrEm1Kjv.huge&quot;, '', 'width=1600,height=297')" /></div>

<p>UPDATE</p>

<p>One of the rollers came out of place which caused the guard to remain up.</p>

<div class="imageBox imageBox_left"><img src="https://guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com/igi/XnSSiFSFrgxLyiND.standard" width="282" height="158" class="hasMenu hasLarge" alt="Block Image" onclick="window.open(&quot;https:\/\/guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com\/igi\/XnSSiFSFrgxLyiND.huge&quot;, '', 'width=1600,height=900')" /></div>

<p>New issue - it will not &quot;accept&quot; a disc.  I can now insert the disc but it will not auto feed.  I can use the manual eject screw to insert/remove the disc but it will not read.  I've tried different tightness and it seems to try to spin the disc at a certain point (with lots of noise) but fails to read it.</p>

<p>if the system is powered on with the disc partially inserted the system appears to be cable of ejecting it.*  The eject button no longer responds...</p>
