(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Got a PS3 Phat running 4.81 Rebug.

Never had issues before, but all of a sudden the network card will disable it's self (the light goes off on the front & it can't detect any networks).

Tried on Wifi and Ethernet but happens on both.

No real timeframe on when this happens, could be 1 minute, or 1 hour Sal

At first I thought it could be a dodgy connection, but that's fine - Then I thought maybe it's overheating and shutting off, but the temperature looks ok (around 70 after an hour play time) & it's still happening after cleaning the dust out & reapplying some thermal paste.

Thinking it's time to put it in the bin as it's like 10 years old now, but thought I'd ask to see whether anyone has any suggestions?

Thanksss :3
