Today I somehow found a CECHA01 PS3 for 15 dollars but it's clearly not well, I do get video when starting it up but it quickly shuts off with plenty of beeping. I do plan on replacing the thermal paste and such but in the event that does not work, does anyone know a reliable PS3 repair person/company? I'd really like to get this machine sorted out, it's well worth it.
Reliable source of PS3 repair?

It could be a PSU problem. . . . . if you get a spare part you could test whether it solves the problem or not.
But if you can not solve the problem yourself it would probably be cheaper to buy a new ps3.

Thermal paste is not a miracle cure for everything
As I said, this sounds very like a psu problem. . . . . . . . . .
Oh, I didn't expect it to cure the problem but I still did it anyway because it couldn't hurt.
