    PS3 Turns Off When Cold but Not When Warm

    I have a Playstation 3 fat CECHK02 that will turn off at the start when playing a game or in the XMB but if I let it warm up at the XMB it plays games just fine I thought it could be a hard drive problem so I put a new 500GB SSD in but it is the same so I tried another power supply unit but still the same. I have changed the thermal paste twice now because I have also changed the fan but its still the same, it sounds like a capacitor problem to me but someone on
    PSX-Place said it could be the thermal paste under the IHS on both the CPU and GPU I dont want to try to get the IHS off just yet as its would be a careful job and one slip and it will be a brick. This PS3 is on offical firmware and it had never been opened before I got it.

    well it's not the paste,
    it does sound like an electrolytic cap, could also be a cracked solder joint though.

      Acer Helios 500 (PH517-51) - unexpected reboots when laptop is warm (cold solder joint issue?)
      by Mirenia
      Hi everyone,

      got an Acer Helios 500 Laptop (PH517-51) for diagnosing with a strange issue:

      The laptop runs for a while (1-2 hours, sometimes less) and then suddenly shuts completely off, like someone pulled the power cord and restarts immediately after on its own.
      If this happened once, then the laptop only runs for a few minutes until restart.
      This happens regardless while staying in windows or uefi or in a linux environment.

      At first I thought of a normal overheating issue, but as I monitored temps with HWInfo64, nothing seems very hot.

      Laptop overheating after replacement thermal paste
      by Veyron7887
      Hi. I have Asus X55C laptop from year 2013. It has i3-2328M CPU. I replaced stock thermal paste with high quality thermal paste. Before thermal paste replacement, I measured CPU temperature Around 65-70 degrees Celcius with stock thermal paste. If after the replace thermal paste, I measured CPU temperature around 80-84 degrees Celcius and fan don't stop when system is idle. I replaced the thermal paste several times but still did not change. Where is the problem?

      MacBook Pro 14" M1 Pro Turns on functions then turns off when I plug in USB C cable
      by Stephen
      MacBook Pro 14" M1 Pro Turns on functions then turns off when I plug in USB C cable to reset the computer. I disconnect the battery fully and then reconnect it and it won't turn back on. After letting it sit for a day I plug the battery back up, and the MagSafe 3 cable and it powers on and stays ons, once I plug in a USB C cable into the port closes to the MagSafe port it turns off and the Amber light turns off and won't turn on. No water damage, nothing, I want to do a DFU restore to wipe the computer since the customer stated they did an update and ever since it just decided to not work...

      LG L192WS-BN backlight turns off after 1 second
      by www
      I am testing an old LG L192WS-BN monitor I have that gives an image, but has a backlight issue. When you turn it on the backlight turns on 1 second and it turns off, turns on again, 1 second and it turns off and stays off. Using a flashlight I can see there's still an image.

      I replaced a bulged cap on the main board, but made no difference. I also got another exact same model monitor that has a broken ccfl (the connector got ripped from the panel and the main screen connector is also broken so I can't use this panel to test), tried using the main board from this one, same issue....

      Samsung UE55F8000SZ Turns on and off immediately
      by Egidio85
      good morning, I have a samsung UE55F8000SZ tv that turns on, shows the logo and turns off after 1-2 seconds.
      This defect happens continuously, hearing the classic click of the relay every time.

      Power supply board BN44-00636B

      disconnecting the mains and lamps from the power board always causes the same problem.
      Is it normal that without anything connected this power supply turns on and off cyclically?
      any suggestions on what to check?

      thanks in advance
