PS3 SLIM CECH-2004B Issue: Turns On for 10–15 Seconds, Then Shuts Off (Not PSU or Battery) Hi everyone, I’m troubleshooting an issue with my PS3, and I could really use some advice. Here's the situation: The console powers on for about 10–15 seconds and then shuts off. I’ve ruled out the power...

Yes i'm in the same boat.

Hi , yes . I am in the same boat. Used to go online on CFW a year or 5/6 ago to play demon souls with a buddy . Used psnpatch and whatnot still got my account banned (luckely not my main account). I don't want to worry about any of that. PS2 ISOs on OFW BC Consoles (Swap Magic) - ConsoleMods...

Thank you for the info. Hmm that's interesting. I will look into it.

Hi, I remember seeing an old post on this forum talking about the viability of having a PAL or NTSC(-J) region free drive. Back then (5 years or so ago) it was not possible on OFW. I was wondering if any progress has been made for this? Is there a possibility , for example via the syscon ? Use...

Thanks for this :) It is working beautifully for me. I am glad that something like this excists and can be used on OFW. I still like to go online on my ps3/ psn without hassle or risk getting my account banned .(that did happen in the past).

Hi, got a cechc04 with ylod. Can only get into the external mode. Com pad seems broken from a previous owner who opened up the console and got the syscon. Anyone got any insight in these errors and if its worth attempting repair. From what i find these errors could be anything. (cell & rsx)...

Thanks for your reply. I contacted a repair technician and they quoted 400 euros for the service . I will take it upon myself to attempt the repair and make a Frankenstein. I managed to find someone in my area selling a working "Bird 5000" bga rework station( for 50 euros :)) . From my research...

Image of last time it has an image:

I recently ordered a CECHA00 from Japan, which was delivered at the end of last week. After about 5 minutes of use, it froze (just in the XMB). Since then, it has shown a YLOD. Before that, I briefly had a display, but with some artifacts (see photo). The cost of sending it back to Japan and...
