Re: Ps3 powers off after 5 seconds?
Thats what we call a 3spd (3 sec power down) at the very least it will require a replacement Cell Engine (BE BGA) at some point.
I fix these buggers for a living, the heating method mentioned may work, but usually only temporary. You really need to get some liquid flux under the BGA before attempting as dry heat causes the solder to degrade.
The actual cause is overheating, the board heats up to much, the board expands and puts pressure on the solder joints, which due to the lack of lead content tend to be brittle.
