Hey everyone,

I'm encountering an issue with my PS3 CECHC04. When I plug in the power cable and try to turn it on immediately, it emits 3 beeps and displays a yellow light. However, if I shut it down using the back button and wait a few minutes (usually 1 or 2), it turns on without any problem. I recently replaced https://plnkgame.com the thermal paste on the dies, so I don't believe it's a thermal issue. Interestingly, if the PS3 is constantly connected to a power source with the back button turned on, this problem doesn't occur. This has been happening for about 8 years now. Should I be concerned? Does anyone have any insights or suggestions?
