PS3- no response at all. Probably not the PS. Help?
My PS3 stopped working some time ago. I’ve checked the cord. I’ve bought a new power supply, which I am as close to certain as I can be is the proper model. I’ve verified the outlet works. And, to the best of my knowledge, I have successfully changed out the old power supply for the new.
It still doesn’t work.
Is there ANYTHING else it could possibly be? Some cheap wire, or fuse? I don’t have a multimeter, so I can’t check it myself, but if anybody can tell me if it’s still possible to fix my console without coughing up half the price of the unit for Sony’s ludicrous repair cost, I would be very, very grateful
I’d have no idea how to check what should be working with a multimeter, unless I could find good online instructions (the instructions for removing the PS were pretty bad).
Also, what would you define as a good power bar?

why don’t you just spend the $10 and buy a multimeter to test it ?
this is probably not something anyone can fix without actually having the system , even if you just bought a used meter at a second hand store for a few bucks it’s something useful around the house and not a bad investment .
without a tester you’re just guessing at the cause and probably wasting your time – go buy one already
this is a guess but I’ll bet you don’t use a good power bar for your electronics , I’ve always used them and it has probably saved me thousands from potential power spikes and surges
