Chosen Solution
I have uploaded a video https://youtu.be/1aCFAd6w-aA It might have fallen from vertical to horizontal 1 or 2 times; but never dropped from height. The fan gets on and off instantly as you can see in the video. Blue light is not pulsing type. Happened during gaming maybe 1 or 2 hours into a game; no fan noise was noticed (overheating etc) but that im not so sure. Already tried these but no progress. There is no repair shop around here.
- Power supply changed. - HDD and fan disconnected and started. - Held the power button to boot into safe mode. - Inserted disc (disc goes in but then eject does not work; have to manually remove) - Tried to switch on with controller. - Changed thermal paste - different cables and/or wall sockets etc - applying more pressure on the processor by bending the clamp a little. - Visually inspection revealed nothing Update (11/14/2018) Ok so the southbridge chip was replaced. Now the fan is working and there is infinite pulsing blue light with no video. Also not possible to boot into safe mode. :(
Simple answer, not going to be complex, it is the blue light of death. Plenty of short youtube vids to fix that problem, try a few and i’m sure it will fix it. All the steps you took were overall unnecessary but hey you increased its lifespan for sure. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70zKyhxN… Here is one to get you started.
