Fixing Playstation 3 Green Light of Death (GLOD)

    • While the PS3 is on (green LED on), put the PS3 into standby mode (red power LED) by pressing the power button for 5 seconds.

    • Now when the PS3 is in standby mode, hold the power button down until you hear it beep about 2 or 3 times, then release the power button.

    about 2 or 3, which is it, or which is it supposed to be? I can get the two beeps and once i thought i heard three...i'm thinking 3 is the reset, but the system won't do it.?

    i held that button down for a min or two i got one beep and it came on but still a black screen and iv done this over and over are there any known causes of this issue?

    My son was playing mine and the screen became all pixelated with white lines.

    My understanding as I did find a YouTube video that shows the same thing as mine did. Is that the gpu hasn't went bad but needs to be reflowed or reballed.

    I would tell you if it worked or not but when I was putting it back together I broke off the clip on the motherboard that the ribbon cable plugs into from the eject and on and off board.

    So my recommendation would be try a reflow.

    I didn't get any 2/3 beeps.

    • This will reset the video settings to the lowest settings and when you start the PS3 with HDMI or PS3 AV cable connected, it will go through the setup process and you will now see a picture on the TV screen.

    Nope hasn't worked

    Doing the first two steps brought me to a black screen (Safe Mode) with six options:

    1. Restart System

    2. Restore Default Settings

    3. Restore File System

    4. Rebuild Database

    5. Restore PS3 System

    6. System Update

    going into recovery mode is not the solution for the glod you must get the rsx video chip reflowed or reballed

I have tried this multiple times, even took up a few hints about removing the HDD and putting it back in, and then trying.... it still did not work.... does any one have any idea of how to REALLY fix this?!

codylawinger - Réponse

Yo need to change the Hard Drive, the problem from the Green Light its almost the 90% a HDD that is corrupted or broken. Put the HDD in your PC and format the HDD, then put it back on your PS3 and plug a USB with the latest update for the PS3 it will ask you for the update before format the HDD. Just do what it says on the screen.

PS: Also a easy way to know that its a HDD failure its just removing the HDD and turn on the console, you will get a warning image saying that there is no Hard Drive on the console.

does not work for me i have a slim model. still striving to find a solution.

There is a solution that I tried on my ps3 slim when it had the GLOD. I tried using a quarter by placing it on top of the RSX and screwing the cooler back on. Once I booted the PS3 up again it worked! This is a fairly common issue with the PS3 and the Xbox 360 due to heat of the chips causing the solder joints to crack.

James Leasure -

I have also been searching endlessly for a solution to this problem for my CECH-2001A model PS3 Slim. The majority of the time my system turns on with the GLOD. The rest of the time it works perfectly. I've tried safe mode and went through all the steps numerous times. I've also tried three different hard drives, two different HDMI cables and two different tv's. None of which alleviate the problem. I've also replaced the thermal paste and am religious with keeping it dust free. The only other solution I've found is that the RSX may be the culprit. Other than that, I'm at a loss.

I put put my ps3 motherboard in the oven at 400 degrees for 10 minutes let's see if it works lol

This does not work for me. I get one beep (on) then one beep (off) then it goes red. I have a CECHL01 model. Still no video. Will a reflow also help HDMI loss?

Now what to do when it got on the safe mode?

Rahul Mohabir - Réponse

RSX reflow, the solder joints could be cracked on the GPU. This is a video reset.

Brian Kohls - Réponse

Can put some coins (with only some copper) with up the rsx chip and back works fine.

With better length.
