PS3 Super Slim Turns itself off, I need your help guys! Before I go crazy...

So guys that is my problem my PS3 Super Slim shuts itself off by itself.

I have HFW and PS3HEN installed. And my model of PS3 is 4001B. It is random, sometimes I can play for an hour and then shuts off, sometimes 5 minutes and it shuts itself off, but it always happens.

At first I thought it was the power supply model APS-330, so I used my multimeter and I got 6,4V out of the 5,5v line, and I also got 16v from the 12v line. I thought, here is the issue, so I replaced the big 450v capacitor on the PSU (not cheap). And sure I got 13v out of the 12v line, and the PS3 lasted a bit more being turned on, I was celebrating! But THEN nope, the same thing happened, it shut off by itself again!!

This is driving me nuts, I was about to purchase a new PSU, but I have read that this specific model has this "shuts off by itself" problem, which I have heard it has nothing to do with the PSU!!

Guys help me please! I don't know what the problem could be! My temperatures are great, because I have measure them, I have replaced the thermal paste, the PS3 is super clean, the bluray is working perfectly, and my HDD is perfect (I tested it on my PC). I just dont know

"Any help" would be appreciated guys! I am desperate.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart

You mean WebMan Mod? Yes, I use webman mod, why? Does Webman has an option that could help me? Cheers and thank you for your time!

 

Another thing is that the red light on the PS3 never goes off, and I can always turn the console on again. It simply shuts off when some time passes. For example if I plug an external HDD to load ISOS from it, it always shuts down within a couple of minutes. It lasts more when I play a game from an original disc.

That is the only other info I can think off.

 

Is looking great, I replaced it twice actually, I get very good temps, in the 50's when idle and in the 60's when playing games. It is something else. I saw a guy on Youtube who had to take out the Wifi module completely and then he stopped having problems (on the PS3 Super Slim). But I truly don't know, because in his case, the PS3 would not even turn on (not my case).

 

Thank you godreborn, but sadly these issues where happening even before modding the console... I mean I would have no problem buying a new PSU, but I just "know" that the problem would persist.

 

You think that by doing this, the Wifi module would turn off? Ok, I will try. Will write back in 5 minutes, probably the time it takes for the console to turn off by itself.

 

I disabled the Internet and also returned webman mod fan speed to syscon and minimum speed to disabled. The PS3 shut itself off in exactly 6 minutes after starting to play a game.

I really don't know, the real question is, could buying a new PSU fix the problem? Because from what I can tell, the volt measurements are correct.

 

Also, a good question would be: Is my PSU giving me the "right" voltage? The 5,5v line is giving me about 6,5v and the 12v line is giving me 13,4v or so. Is this OK?

 

I understand but no, it has no problem turning on and off using the buttons. My question remains though, are my voltages OK on my PSU? If anyone knows, please share.
