@popio They are PS3 slims with 2 ports

I want to “build in” a usb hub, to add 3 usb ports I have tried a few usb hubs, all with external power. One usb 1.0 (logilink) and two usb 3.0 (ewent), on three different PS3s in ports one and two.. But none worked. Usb sticks inserted in the hubs did not show up in multiman. Do I need a usb...

Both PS3s have broken blue-rays. I wanted to see if I could use that space to house a fan, since both original fans were defect. (Probably not a useful solution) I can’t show all that I did, because much was done with cardboard and masking tape. Being repurposed and/or binned. I used webman's...

[edit] this concerns a PS3 slim. As I mentioned in another thread, I replaced the original ps3 fan with a pc-case-fan. I made a test-case (ha!) by replacing the top cover with a cardboard one, so I can test different places to place the fan. I blocked all the ventilation holes (except those in...

[edit] this concerns a PS3 slim. So, I replaced the standard fan with a radial fan. Works reasonable. Speed control is the issue. If I set the speed in webman at 50%, the temp stays around 50’ C. But if I let webman try to keep the temp below 50’C , it goes well above 60’C, even if the reported...

Following the awesome tutorial from the awesome mrMario: I was able to convert my 2 other P3s from hen to CFW. So I thought: "F-it!". And also did the same for this 'hard modded" one. It succeeded without any trouble. So: happy me! Still no idea why it was called hard modded; but who cares...

Yes! But is that proof of being hard modded or not?? I agree. That term was used by the seller. No idea what he meant... I forgot to mention that I tried to flash the memory following this tutorial: That is why it's on 3.8.2. I had to attempt several times, because the ps3 could not 'see'...

(Without taking it apart!) When I bought this ps3, I was told it was hard modded. The system-info said it was version 4.81.2 As far as I could tell it was on REBUG 4.81.2 Cobra 7.50 REX Yesterday I had to replace the hard disk. And I thought, since it was hard modded, I just had to replace the...
