1 Why is my ps3 flashing red and beeping 3 times?
My ps3 was working fine until I took it upon myself to take it apart and clean it. I watching a tear down video followed all steps to take it apart. I took main parts out like power supply, disc drive etc. down to the motherboard I didn’t take it apart out of its grey shell because I didn’t need to just wanted to clean dust. Clean the dust and hit some spaces with 99% isopropyl alcohol, the only places I touched with the alcohol was black plastic and the top of the disk drive on accident. Done cleaning put everything back but on screwing in the motherboard I accidentally used one of the power supply screws into one of the wholes( didn’t screw into it 100%) heard a lil crack stoped and realized and did it the proper way put everything back to normal and I was done plugged it in turned it on clicked on a downloaded game and in 3-5 min i heard beeping and flashing red. I tried my best to give the most amount of detail to narrow down my issue/answers. I’m not a technician but my own 2 answers are I shorted the circuit somewhere causing the fan to not start or I cracked my motherboard when using the wrong screw. Plz give me a strong for sure answer

Forgot to add I used air duster to get most of the dust out maybe 95% air duster and 5% alcohol

I'm wondering, where did you end up putting the power screw before you realize that something cracked and you were using the wrong screw? If it was in a place somewhere where it could have affected the CPU or something that is required for the operation of the PS3, you may have broke that part.

@anthonybadillo take a couple of GOOD pictures of the area where you used the wrong screw. A view of both sides of the board will be needed. It is easily possible that this is a torn trace or otherwise damaged board, but it depends on what area. Post some pictures with yuor QUESTION Agregar imágenes a una pregunta existente
