I have not heard of anyone having that problem. Have you called or emailed Playstation support? They also have a live chat during certain times of the day where you can ask them service questions. I would say it is possible for them to be out of processors that old because they quit making PS2 games I think and the PS4 getting ready to be released. I had one that burnt out as well but I did not try to fix it. It was only going to cost a bit more to just get a new system than to fix. Sorry I could not be more help

I don't think you are gonna find a processor for your old PS3. My advice is to backup all of your data, format the PS3, then try and see if the guy is still willing to buy it from you. Without a processor, it's only good for junk parts, so I'd take whatever offer he makes. Then search ebay for another launch model. You'll spend about the same buying another console as you would replacing the processor.
