I have recently obtained a 60gb ps3 for $200aud however it has a few problems with it lol. Basically I can't get the unit to boot with the bluray drive plugged in, and it is iffy about having the hdd plugged in. With both removed the unit will power on however it will freeze after a few minutes. Trying to reboot the unit results in it powering on for a second, then goes to a yellow light, then goes to flashing red light. The only way to restart the ps3 is by leaving it sit (seems to have greater chance of success if its unplugged from the wall). If i try to power it on with the bluray drive and the hdd installed it will just power on for a second, go to yellow light, then to a flashing red light. This makes me think that the power supply is faulty and cannot supply enough power to the whole unit, and can only run the unit for a few minutes before it 'browns out'.

I have been looking (mainly ebay lol) for a 60gb ps3 replacement power supply however I have found them damn near impossible to find. If anyone has any suggestions as to where I can find a replacement power supply, or if you think something else is wrong, or just any help in general would be greatly appreciated!
