My PS3 console beeps one time and doesn't turn on

My PS3 console beeps one time and doesn't turn on - Unrecognizable young couple playing video game at home

It has been one month since this problem happened, I don't know how to fix it.

The problem

When I connect my power cord, the red Colour comes up as normal. But when I press it , it beeps one time (like normal) and it becomes green for 2 seconds and just goes off (there is no blinking issue, like many people have). I tried keeping it pressed, but nothing happens. It never passes the point of 2 seconds. But here's another thing that happens. When it goes off (blank) , if I press again on the power button it becomes red again, and when I press it becomes green with a beep for 2 second, and does the same process over again.

I tried cleaning it too, and I removed the back part and cleaned it carefully, didn't do any difference. Same results.

Any Idea how to to fix it ? Thanks.

Your power supply might be the problem. Try replacing it. Here is a tutorial to do so :

How do you fix a PS3 that will not turn on?

  • Press and hold the power button on the console for 10 seconds or until it has shut down.
  • Press and hold the power button again until you hear two short beeps.
  • Press the PS button on the controller to start your PlayStation in Safe Mode.


  • What do PS3 beeps mean?

    If your system keeps shutting itself down after boot up, and you keep getting the yellow blinking light and 3 beeps, then your PS3 unfortunately has the "YLoD". This is very easy to fix (temporarily), however. A permanent fix is much harder and requires experience.

    How do I force start my PS3?

    You'll have to do this from the console itself, as your controllers are likely frozen as well. Hold the Power button for about 30 seconds. You'll hear three rapid beeps and your PS3 will turn itself off. Wait a few seconds, then press the Power button to turn it back on.

    Your problem seems to be that dust might not be letting start up. Here's what I found that allowed my PS3 to work properly,

    If the video gets taken down then what you need to do is carefully remove the top of the PS3's shell BUT remember where the screws go. Once you are at the inner workings of the system take a can of compressed air and start to dust the system carefully. Once you no longer see any dust start to put the shell back on, and your system should work. Hope you got it to work. Here is a way you can get your disc out
