I have a Playstation 3 40Gb as described, the problem is as follows:
The Playstation is not running, the lamp lights up red (so it gets power), press now on the on button, it goes on briefly and after a few seconds directly from.
What exactly is broken and how can you fix it?
I do not think you can say that exactly. There you (me) can only speculate. There's not even an acoustic error message.
There's probably not much left over for you as a new purchase (used). Even if you could tell, no one would recommend anyway that you fix it yourself.
If the OFF jumps then the red or flashing's fast?
Before the FAT lady shuts off, is there a very short flash of yellow LED? (really short, not even visible for a second! Best test in the dark room!)
If yours are answered "yes," then you have a YLOD heat death.

only that the 'buzzer' / 'beeper' has melted. But we do not think that's bad. THEN YOU ALSO NEED TO RENEW / TEMPORARILY THE THERMAL PASTE OF YOUR PS3! * DO NOT ON WITHOUT THEN THEN NOTHING HELPS MORE *
