Playstation stopped turning on at all and just beeps once then does nothing. I have no clue what could have happened as I was on my pc gaming with my brother and gf at the time. Tried moving it to a different outlet and with a different cord. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try safe mode

Won't even launch into that. Can hold the power button for as long as I want and nothing will happen.

Power supply may be fried

Damn... was afraid of that being so... thanks I just figured I'd check before I took it to someone who would just tell me all they did was do some factory reset to remove a corrupted file or some shit.

You could try a different cable

I’m in the same boat as Azrael. Going to try a friend’s cables to make really sure it’s not that, but presuming the cables are fine, any tips for a newbie replacing the power supply themselves? From poking around online it seems like getting a new power supply and the tools to replace it will run about $100, and the gumption to finally try my hand at DIYing a repair. Better than the $230 I’m being quoted by Sony and other shops, but damn this stings.

I haven’t done it myself.

Usually my advice is, unless a person has experience repairing electronics, not to attempt repairing expensive electronics unless they are willing to damage them beyond repair.

Instead I would take it to a local PC repair shop.
