Thanks for the info. I tried to ask the seller about the console's history, only thing he remembers is sending it back to sony for repair in 2009-2010 around slim's launch, then didn't use it as much since he bought a slim model. He did try to power on the console and get it working for several...

3034 error caused by bad HDMI connector? So I bought a broken ps3 from facebook marketplace the other day, the seller says it has ylod. When I turn it on it does have ylod, but it's a delayed one and I can see the hdd indicator flashing before power cuts out. I tried to power it on a few more...

the emergency eject hole on slim/pro is inside a rubber feet. You need a phillips screw driver to turn it.

I don't want to completely disassembly my ps4 again to take pictures, but here's a more straight forward diagram i made. just need to connect 4 wires from the power supply to motherboard correspondingly. alt points are marked in color so you can use these in case you ruined the traces under the...

Maybe there's a problem with your usb drive? make sure it's formatted correctly (MBR, FAT32) and the folder structure is correct.

Update: Package just arrived today and I've already got the PS4 fixed using above diagram. For anyone who may have the same problem, my suggestion is to use jumper wires. Just solder jumper wires to alternative points on the bottom of motherboard and solder the connector to the other end, secure...

Got a great deal on ebay for a PS4 Pro (I think it's CUH-70xx) with its 4-pin power supply connector ripped off. The picture provided by seller shows all 4 pads are gone. The seller also attempted some fixes himself but it appears that he further damaged the motherboard and all remaining traces...

Hello everyone, I've been working on an Xbox 360 recently, and for anyone who has experience with a hacked Xbox 360, there are some custom dashboards that you can install to replace the original one. So it comes to my mind if there's any custom VSH menu on ps3 that replaces the original one? Is...

Actually, burned copies do work on CFW ps3. It's a cobra feature. I could run burned PS2 titles on a CFW BC ps3 without any problem.

The PS2 EEGS chip is very efficient as it's the same chip found on 7000x series PS2 consoles, and the entire 7000X PS2 console is rated around 30W. Imo the main cause of power reduction for CECHG model is the 65nm CELL processor. Anyway, APS231 is rate at 276W, it should handle the 200W COK001...

Replaced the crappy ZSSR power supply on my CECHA console with an APS231 several days ago. Have been playing with this console for some time and everything's working just fine. Played the Last of Us for several hours (escaped the city hall and entered subway) and there's no freezing or sudden...

Good to know. Thanks. Guess I'll order some new laser assemblies from ebay. These early laser diodes are so unreliable...

Greetings. Today I got another CECHA system without original BD drive. Put in a spare drive from YLOD CECHE system, flashed CFW and married the BD drive, everything is working... except the new drive won't read BD discs. The disc spins up and I can see the violet laser beam, but the game won't...

The bluray laser is probably dead. All CECHA systems I own have defective laser, they can't read bluray discs but can play PS2 and PS1 discs. You can find replacement laser assembly (KES400A) on aliexpress or ebay for several dollars. Even if the laser is dead, the system won't lock up...

If you can't find one, the 15 blade fan will work just fine, it just makes a bit more noise. 19 blade fans are hard to find, searched on ebay and found only one result. You could also try aliexpress. You can't pry off the IHS on cpu like you did with GPU, it's glued to it with silicone glue. You...
