I have a 60gb PS3 that gave no warning, I just tried to turn it on and nothing happened. The green power light comes on and stays on unless you switch it off from the back or unplug it.
I have tried cleaning it out but there wasn't really much dust in it.
I tried holding down the power switch for a reboot but nothing makes a noise, flicker, beep or anything.....just a solid green light.

I currently have it completely disassembled looking for scorches or anything unusual but it looks much cleaner than I expected.

I have looked thru a crapload of forums but not found a good solution.

Anyone have any ideas?

It sounds like your power supply may need to be replaced. Depending on what sort of rig you have, get at least a 700W supply and an 800W if you're running SLI or Xfire. Cheers.
