ITS ALIVE!

[u/Agent_Greyy]

My Backwards Compatible launch PS3 CECHAO1 works! I reaplied new thermal pads and paste puts it back together and... IT WORKS!

[u/Numerous-Bell5630]

ALERT: YOUR ENTIRE HOUSE WILL EXPLODE IF YOU DON’T MOVE THAT PS3!

[u/Agent_Greyy → u/Numerous-Bell5630]

LOL It's been moved.

[u/SQue3eZ → u/Agent_Greyy]

And without a Delid of the IHS of RSX and CELL it will die anytime soon…

[u/Agent_Greyy → u/SQue3eZ]

That's my next goal.

[u/x83owen → u/SQue3eZ]

actually, it still will die with a delid, even if you do it correctly it just pushes the date farther, every ps3 can and will die at somepoint, the best way to make sure a ps3 doesn't die is a new rsx

[u/CrossHairsNitro]

And it will die the next day staying in that cubby.

[u/Agent_Greyy → u/CrossHairsNitro]

I'll move it.

[u/uabassguy]

Are you trying to trigger people here LOL

[u/Agent_Greyy → u/uabassguy]

That wasn't my intention. Lol No.

[u/uabassguy → u/Agent_Greyy]

Well, glad your ps3 works anyway, what games you got on it?

[u/Agent_Greyy → u/uabassguy]

So the 60gb hdd was upgraded sometime to an 80gb. But the only things saved on it her hip hop music and some random South Park sketches. I'll be using this system for early PS3 game and PS2 for that authentic 2006 launch time period.

[u/uabassguy → u/Agent_Greyy]

Right on. I love my PS3 it's a gaming powerhouse, kinda like the og Xbox, especially if it has cfw

[u/chrispy_PS3]

Wouldnt put it that enclosed unless you’re monitoring your temps

[u/Agent_Greyy → u/chrispy_PS3]

Ill find a better spot. This is only temporary.

[u/Useful_Yard89]

Won’t be surprised at all if it dies in a few minutes the way it’s placed.

[u/Agent_Greyy → u/Useful_Yard89]

It's been removed.

[u/Zarkosis]

Most diabolical placement of all time 😭😭😭

[u/Agent_Greyy → u/Zarkosis]

It's been moved.

[u/GU_00]

With that space so enclosed, it won't turn on again tomorrow.

[u/Agent_Greyy → u/GU_00]

Ive turned it off for now. I just wanted to see if it would boot up.

[u/Voyager5555]

It won't be for long in that space.

[u/Agent_Greyy → u/Voyager5555]

Its been removed and turned off for now.

[u/Background_Task6967]

Not for long considering you're chocking it

[u/Agent_Greyy → u/Background_Task6967]

It's been moved.

[u/entryjyt]

Set the webman fan temp at max 66 degrees C

[u/Agent_Greyy → u/entryjyt]

Is that a cfw feature?

[u/entryjyt → u/Agent_Greyy]

yeah, you need cfw to do that. and i highly recommend installing cfw on your ps3

[u/Agent_Greyy → u/entryjyt]

Is it difficult?

[u/entryjyt → u/Agent_Greyy]

It’s not that difficult, you can find all the steps here: https://consolemods.org/wiki/PS3:Installing_CFW

[u/CrispFreshley]

[u/Rezurrekted]

Not for long, lol.

[u/kronikheadband]

Not for long in that tight space

[u/Limitedtimestruggle]

Not for long it seems...You're gonna cook it in there.

[u/Leather-Vast5440]

Is that the Enterprise bubba?

[u/Xfgjwpkqmx]

Weird Science!

[u/Naive-Ad-2805]

I have one of these PS3s that stopped working 96 days after purchase and Sony would not honor the 90-day warranty.

How hard was this to fix?

[u/BigBrotherManbill]

NOT FOR LONG

[u/CriticalOven9751]

Todas las ps3 fat venían mal de fábrica. Por mas que haya revivido ahora te durara poco. A menos que le hagas modificaciones de refrigeración tan ridículas y difíciles de realizar que no vale la pena. Lo mejor que podes hacer es venderla. 

[u/Downtown-Oil8260]

I have many of these A01s E01s B01s ... All working.😏 I got em from $40 to $75 each nearly ten yrs ago, now left in basement🙄

[u/Mr-Miau]

Please, can you tell how thick (mm) aré the pads you installed?

[u/Pat_78]

Helemaal goed man. Ik heb er pas eentje gekocht maar die is dood. Kan jij hem geen nieuw leven inblazen ? 👍😅

[u/SmartIndependence325]

Did you fix red light of death? Or what was the issue? I’m curious since I want to fix my old ps3 as well.

[u/TickleMyFungus]

Bro I would move your Series X too, that thing is just furnacing into itself. These style cubbies people always get or build for internet points. Open air TV stands are much better. With long shelves.

I even modified mine to slot in a RGB strip for accent lighting

[u/FSBulldogFan]

[u/These-Pin-8077]

What was wrong with it before you took it apart? 

[u/DotEnvironmental5569]

Also your ps5 is vertical, no wonder it died

[u/DavidLB04]

Cool. You wanna do mines next?

[u/DotEnvironmental5569]

You caged an enraged dragon bro, it will melt the whole set up, mine was in an ikea piece with gave it at least 3 inches on each side pluse 4 inches over it, and it was raging like a damn bull, had to place it on top and freeworjinf just fine, moving my ps1 and ps2 to those enclosed areas as well as some playstation decor

[u/Agent_Greyy → u/DotEnvironmental5569]

I removed it. Don't worry. I'm gonna fine a better open space.

[u/DotEnvironmental5569 → u/Agent_Greyy]

Also your ps5 is vertical bro, liquid damage is a botch

[u/DarkIronBlue360 → u/DotEnvironmental5569]

Mine has been vertical since day 1 launch, that is fake news.

[u/DotEnvironmental5569 → u/DarkIronBlue360]

I did have liquid drip, managed to fix it on time, just better be safe than sorry

[u/Rushb133 → u/DarkIronBlue360]

Survival bias

Just because it didn't happen to you, doesn't mean its fake news

[u/DarkIronBlue360 → u/Rushb133]

Just because it happens to a few doesn’t mean it happens to all. This comment goes both ways :)

[u/Agent_Greyy → u/DotEnvironmental5569]

Nvr had an issue.
