PS3 power problem
My PS3 cut out while playing black ops 2. The system clicked and turned off, instantly, no red standby light, no response to the power button. I flipped off the power switch in the back, unplugged everything, and checked to see if it needed to be cleared of dust (it didn't). I plugged it back in, flipped power switch on in the back, red standby light turned on, but when I touched the power button, the green light turned on for an instant, the fan started, but then the system clicked off again, same as before. Is there an internal electric breaker in the ps3 i need to reset? Anyone have a similar issue? Or have a solution?

Mine did the same thing. It was a cooling issue. I ended up buying one of those fans they use for laptops. Works great. :)

Why has my PS3 stopped working?
One cause of the PlayStation 3 not booting is a faulty power supply. A much smaller percentage of PS3 consoles will display the yellow light as a result of a faulty power supply. If the power supply is faulty, then it will need to be replaced.Trying to FIX: PS3 Slim which has NO POWER at all
