you have to match HDMI RGB range. I guess the HDMI adapter is in RGB limited range, and your TV is set to HDMI full. So try switching to RGB limited

PS3 CECHK models are with 65nm GPU and 65nm CPU, so its very unlikely a BGA issue. Best is to dump syscon's error logs. using ps3 browser got to: https://www.ps3toolset.com - and navigate to logs.

Not really worth it. Since the battery will last 10+ year.

high point on CPU die or heatspreader

DVD9 related issue.

broken laptop doesn't mean broken HDD/SSD. Unless it's mac, :DD GameFAQ is good

nothing really. maybe double check for missing thermal pads. And wait for inevitable.

No revisions for 90nm rsx gpu. Every 90nm chip will go eventually.

Best to buy an original controller. Third party ones are trash, even branded ones. Analog sticks use wrong value potentiometers, making precise analog stick input not possible. It's playable at best. There is also a possibility that original controller could be refurbished with low quality...
