Power PSU on one was faulty and started working fine once replaced and the other apparently had a faulty disk drive. Both put into the cupboard and forgotten about until recently, when it was discovered that both boards have stopped working :(
warranty stickers can be removed and reused with a hair dryer or heat gun with ease

also they sell them online for about $15 -20 for 50 of them
here is a site i used to use for them
http://www.iphoneaircases.com/labels/

though i must say that you should NOT use them to lie about work on a ps3, i usually write the date and work done on the tops of the bd drives with a sharpie, and always tell buyers what the ps3 has had repaired in my shop

i have proven that game stop will use these replacement warranty stickers and lie that used systems have never been worked on...but that's more of an issue with how BestBuy runs they're sub companies
(best buy! the electronic geeks that don't know what a soldering iron/gun is lol)

the sticker is really just for me to tell if they open it back up after they take it out of my shop and voided my warranty of 1year repair or replacement if used and maintained properly

if any fat has the original warranty sticker on it, its way past due for a cleaning and thermal paste replacement( do NOT use arctic silver #5- it will not conduct heat properly till it cures after 200 hours of 20-30min break in cycles)
slim 1000's though 2500's are coming to that age too now and should be done as well

ps::sorry about the long rant and late reply, been sick and busy
back to topic
is the power button boards working?
and have you taken the pics?

dose the power button receive power on the positive connection side of the button were it attaches to the main board?

Yeah, I know they can be removed, but we've inspected the boards and the thermal paste/heatsinks and they're all original and all the screws were fresh and tight etc...

The power boards work fine, we tested them using our working slim ps3 and they turn on perfectly.
I don't have pictures atm, my partner very suddenly passed away over easter so I'll be abandoning this for now :( will maybe revisit it again sometime in the future..
