Lucky for me I was able to recover the resistor. Have to learn how to solder it back. l'll leave it out for now since I haven't seen any issue possibly related. Your could be different. Hopefully someone with the same resistor removed shares inputs and observations.

Got it. Thanks! I unticked the NoBD Patch in WebMan MOD Setup. I remember that I did tick it the other day trying to find out if games will still load even if BD was physically disconnected. Thanks for all the support. I'll leave the BD attached but also hoping for a CFW in the future where ISO...

So I went and reinstall the BD and noticed the FW has now shows "4.88 CEX Cobra 8.3 noBD". Everything works fine, I mean Webman load games from both HDD and USB. I'm now curious what caused it to show noBD. Was it because the CFW detected that there was a time I tried to load a game while the...

I also broke 1 resistor in between RSX and CPU on a SEM-001. So far I haven't seen other issues apart from the usual overheating that the fan is trying hard to overcome. I don't have an actual photo of the resistor but here is it's location based on the board manual: Try to check this service...

Yeah 45% and 47% is unbearable, what word can you put on my 87% fan speed :crushed: . I'm definitely redoing my TP. Could be a poor job for a noob. I'm surprised my PS3 still worked after the de-lid, I may be lucky and I completely accept if called stupid but I just wanted to share the mistakes...

@bguerville Thank you for taking the time on answering my questions, that confirmed my thoughts. I think it'll also be beneficial if there is a working CFW in the future that is capable of bypassing the checks on the physical BD. No offense to players who loves doing it with a disc but as almost...

Hello, I tried to search on the forums if this has been tried before. I'm finding more ways to resolve my CECHG02 overheating issues. Comparing it with other models I realized that the heatsink design of my console was the least privileged when it comes with the copper rods. Mines got only 1 for...

I've been reading this forum every now and then to get some info about JB. I own a CECHG02 that has been collecting dust since 2009. Thanks for the helpful threads and resources available here. Was able to de-lid and reapply thermal paste on both CPU and RSX. It's really amazing this machine can...
