Hey everyone,

I posted yesterday about a broken Blu Ray drive which i managed to fix with ease no new parts needed.

I ran into another problem where i was getting no display from using the scart lead. So i switched to HDMI and got an output for about 3minutes then the PS3 did some matrix thing, the screen went green with lines running down it with the PS3 system setup in the background with sound etc.

So i tried to restart it and then nothing again?

I'm thinking an overheat problem? I've stripped the PS3 removed the heatsink and saw the thermal paste was in BAD condition and have ordered some AC 5 which i will replace it with.

Is there anything else that can cause this problem?

Thanks i've removed the RSX metal plate that is placed over the chip and will replace thermal paste on the corners and on the actual blue square.

Very helpful thanks for the link.

Even if it did not work for this person, that is not to say it won't work for your M8. If a system is already out of warantee, it is probably a good idea to open it up and replace the thermal paste on the RSX and the CELL. If you can get the RSX heat spreader off easily, then do that as well. Even if the system is not having issues, doing this will eliminate 3 sources of potential problems in the future.
