Re: Ps3 shutting down
Could use a little more details, like full model number of the PS3.
If it's a "phat" one, issue could be the GPU, the PSU (particularly if it has a Nichicon-made PSU), or those NEC-Tokin caps (which many of the "phat" PS3's do.)
Sometimes, those "phat" PS3's also like to blow a fuse on the board, but I've only seen that once. Most other times, it would be one of the failures listed above.
By the way, does the fan turn? If I remember correctly, a dead fan can also cause a boot issue too.

I have a box of 5 or 6 of these faulty Nichicon PSUs. Came from a batch of 30 or so PS3s with Nichicon PSUs. The PS3s with the Sony PSUs, I've never seen one go bad, or have scorch marks on its PCB. The Nichicon PSUs, on the other hand - even the working ones tend to have those scorch marks. I think Nichicon just didn't do that great of a thermal design on them. Efficiency-wise, I think (or rather hope) that the Sony and Nichi PSUs should be equivalent. But I never had the means to measure them, so I can't say if that's true or not.
