How do I find out which part in my ps3 is bad?

[JarvisB 10+ year member]

my ps3 just got its red light of death after 5 years.

No compliants here, it served me well and it even went thru a roll over in a vehicle with me this past winter lol.

Anyway, I opened it up already and I cant even tell which one is bad. Can any one of you tell me how to determine what is bad? There are some CDs or books for sale for 40 bucks online that helps me fix ps3 (it says guaranteed) but for some reason I dont trust them.

I am going to buy the necessary part from ebay and then fix my ps3. Rather than shelling out another 200-300 for new ps3

The ps3 starts up fine, it got power but as soon as I wake it up, it would go into green light for few seconds before going back to blinking red. I couldnt get the CD out, I had to get it out in the hard way. So is it the Blu ray drive that is junk?

any input would be appreciated, thanks!

This sentence makes no sense, either it turns on or it doesn't. Just plugging the power cord in is not "starting it up" it's just applying power.

to be honest if you dont know how to trouble shoot it you probably should be trying to fix it.... just sayin'

contact sony or ask the question in the off topic section of a car audio site.

It would probably be cheaper to have a repair shop fix it.

I have used the place above and they fixed my PS3 (different issue) and it has worked for over a year now.
