ah, sounds like a power supply issue then.so red is solid from the time i plug in the power supply, 'til the time it's unplugged. Green starts flashing about every 3 seconds when I press the power button.

Well for slims, it can give a rdod if you have a faulty usb port (or any component) that may be causing a sgort in the system, blown fuses, and many other scenarios. Not necessarily heat related issues..red dot of death is the equivalent to rrod on phats.
The power supply? You were talking before about both colors showing inside the system not the power supply, right?so red is solid from the time i plug in the power supply, 'til the time it's unplugged. Green starts flashing about every 3 seconds when I press the power button.
rrod is not heat related. overheating is two red quadrants.Well for slims, it can give a rdod if you have a faulty usb port (or any component) that may be causing a sgort in the system, blown fuses, and many other scenarios. Not necessarily heat related issues..

The power supply will show red when it's not getting enough power, or is faulty itself.. Don't you have another one to test with?
not sure then, but I think it's glitch chip related. nothing inside a normal, phat system would flash or solid red.
You need to find one with similar voltage etc.Can I google a MW3 XBOX power supply?
I thought it showed 3 (for fats)?rrod is not heat related. overheating is two red quadrants.
nope, it's two red lights. 3 means it's too late pretty much.You need to find one with similar voltage etc.

read post 131. you'll be able to see what's flashing red. see if it's the glitch chip.- will do...
What would next troubleshooting steps be?

I would suggest you take the cover and shield off of the system. not very hard to do with a phat, then turn it on with the mobo exposed. you'll then be able to see what's flashing red.
you just have to pop off the grills, and the left and right part of the system are tabbed together. you do need a torx 8 or 10 forgot which to open up the screws (only take out the long ones). you don't have to remove the rf board, which is another screw gauge iirc. it's been years since I've opened a phat, so this is based on memory.Looking for a youtube tutorial now
i've got about an hour
He needs some thin flat head screwdrivers to help in opening plastic parts holding the top cover..you do need a torx 8 or 10 forgot which to open up the screws (only take out the long ones). you don't have to remove the rf board, which is another screw gauge iirc. it's been years since I've opened a phat, so this is based on memory.
The power cable? Yes, PlayStation consoles use same ones.. Neat!which even the ps2, slim 3, 4, and 5 use. it's universal as I'm using one that was marked as ps2 with my ps4.
yeah, something to get into those holes. they make plastic devices for that and slims, because slims are similar.He needs some thin flat head screwdrivers to help in opening plastic parts holding the top cover..
