How to Tell if PS3 Power Supply is Bad
Check if your PS3 shows any signs of life when you press the power button. If it’s completely unresponsive (no lights, no sound), the power supply might be the issue.

If the PS3 turns on briefly and then shuts down, it could indicate a failing power supply. Also, listen for any unusual noises coming from the console, which can be another hint.
Try plugging your PS3 into a different power outlet or use another power cord. Sometimes it's just a bad connection or a faulty cord!
Hot take: If it doesn’t turn on at all, the power supply is probably toast. Time to get it checked or replaced.
