So I have a seemingly dead PS3. It turns on, but there is no video output, and it won't turn off again. The HD output has been broken for a few months, because of a bent connector, and we've been using AV out successfully. But now, it turns on and shows nothing. No YLoD, no extra beeps, no video, nothing. Tried turning it on and holding down the button until it beeped a second time, but that didn't do anything. I tried turning it on and holding down the button until it beeped a third time and turned itself off, but upon turning it on again, no change.

 

Whenever it is on, there is a low buzzing sound, but I'm not sure if it's the fans, or something else (broken HDD?). It is the CECH-2501A slim model. We've had it for about 6  years.

 

Please advise.

Something broke. It'll be difficult to troubleshoot.

Gamestop might let you trade in for a refurbished one (and probably charge a bit too)
