Hey guys, having a problem with a CECHB console Took it to 2 local repair guys, they claim power rail itself is good and that either rsx is causing short or scratched cell after delid, though previous owner told me it worked fine like that with solder mask on the scratch Anyway scratched CELL...

I'll make this short and sweet, does anyone here have a scan/images of the original PS3 Console Box Art? I just bought a CECHA01 and I wanted to get a box made for it (instead of buying it on the internet) but I can't find any high-res or centered images of the box. I was wondering if anyone...

Hi, I've found out that when playing PS2 games on my CECHA00 40nm Frankenstein that there's small issue with black levels, that in PS2 games i.e. boot animation and overscan corners you can see that it's little bit brighter than full black. It looks the same if I have full or limited HDMI range...

Hello Everyone! i currently have a CECHA00 (COK-001) with Sony Serviced 40nm RSX, it worked when i tested it out, except when i put a game in the drive it would lag badly and freeze the console, it was on firmware 4.46 so i updated to 4.89 via the internet on the PS3, the download seemed to be...

To prevent overheating should i replace the PSU [as the original one has metal body, therefore more conducting for heat] to reduce overheating. Also which PSU is the best for replacement.

I recently saw a video where a guy said that all CECHA ps3 are dying, well I know that nothing lasts forever, but it looked like he was referring to some chronic problem at CELL/RSX. Are CELL/RSX chips really different between CECHA and CECHE? this information is true? My PS3 CECHA dying...

Hello everyone, when it comes to PS2 backwards compatibility, we have 3 main ways to do it: Hardware (CECHA/CECHB model) Hybrid (CECHC/E) and the PS2 Classics emulator, of course that, hands down, the best way to experience PS2 games on a PS3 would be through the original launch models with the...
