delid

Hey guys! I bought a broken CHECHC which supposedly stopped working after an "overheating issue". After opening it up I found out that the previous owner tried to delid it and damaged the CELLs soldermask by doing so. Reading the syscon, I get a 4401, then a 3034 error. >$ auth Auth successful...

Hey guys/gals As promised the PS3 Delid tool is now live on...

Yesterday i was researching the best methods to safely delid since i have an overheating CECHC Cell CPU, came across this YouTube video by Carlos Bragatto, he uses a cutdown piece of aluminum beer can in order to cut through the Cell's IHS glue, according to him, the aluminum is sharp enough to...

Hello. After successfully removing IHS from both RSX and CELL I tripped one of capacitors from RSX during the final cleaning. I decided to turn on the console without it. It gave out 3-beep and flashing red light 2-3 seconds after start. According to Sony it means overheating. Then I got it...

can a backwards compatible PS3 get the YLOD after repasting the RSX and CELL if it's only used to play PS1 & PS2 games?

Hello everyone, I've recently obtained a very worn down CECHA01 PS3. The thing works, but I'm trying to preserve it's life until the RSX inevitably fails. I heard that both the Cell and RSX can be delidded, so I decided to take a shot at it. I got the RSX quite easily, but the Cell has been...

Hi, while attempting my first delid I managed to destroy five capacitors on top of the RSX chip. Does anybody know their values?

(sorry if i posted in the wrong place or if this is a common question) I have a PS3 Phat CECHJ04 that I tried delidding (it had some thermal issues, got hot and ran very poorly). I took of the RSX IHS pretty easy (didnt do the cell yet), except that now it won't start. If I plug everything in...

sooo... because i0m an overthinker, for the last weeks i thinked about creating some tools that everyone can use to delid their ps3 and not ending like me, that i killed 2 ps3 slim trying to delid.... it whould be one tool for the rsx and one for the cell the first one whould be four very thin...

hy, i'm new into the forum (i'm from italy so if i say something wrong and my grammar is bad i'm sorry) so, i have a ps3 slim model cech-2504b , after repasting over the ihs (it's not delidded, stock thermal paste under the ihs) with multiman i tried to understand a bit the temperatures ingame...

Hi all! I bought a PS3 Slim CECH 2504a. I’m installed HEN and multiman for watching temperatures. When I played THoU for 1,5 hours I got a CPU: 68°C RSX: 80°C FAN 28%. I’m delided the RSX and changed the thermal paste between lid and RSX die. Played THoU again and I got a CPU:68°C RSX 76°C FAN...

I was recently curious to see what the temperatures would be after de-lid of Cell and RSX replacing the die paste with mx5. I was playing The last of Us for about an hour fan speed never went to 40 and I have it set to dynamic and control to turn on when CPU reaches 65. I noticed that during...

Hello, I received a backwards compatible PS3 60 GB on the the American launch from a relative that was in the US at the time, meaning that it is the CECHA01. It's getting awfully close to becoming 16 years old at this point, so I consider myself lucky that I haven't gotten the YLOD yet. And...

Hello fellow PS3 lovers! I have been thinking about this method for a long time and finally had a chance to test it out and it turns out it works brill so I am happy to share it with you. There is two things you will need to make it work: 1 - Steel wire (I did it with 0.08 mm) 2 - Thick pair...

What's up, guys? Recently I tried to perform a delid on my PS3 Slim's RSX and, accidentally, I ended up damaging the PCB as you can see in the pictures. Do you think there is a way to weld? NOTE: The console worked normally before the procedure, but now it shows YLOD... https://ibb.co/1LRhkBb...

Hey guys! So, I recently picked up, and jailbroke my 2nd PS3 Phat system (4.88.2 Evilnat), and delided my system, and I'm having some issues. So, my main one is I delided my system to help bring temps down. I saw other people having this issue, and I didn't think it would happen to me, but...

So i am going to delid a cecha revision of the fat model, but have a few questions -- 1.) Is deliding only needed for the cell & rsx or also the ps2 cpu. 2.) After deliding should i put back the covers for the cell & rsx or directly use thermal pads, (if i need to back the covers then is...

Hi all This is my first time posting in the forum! As you can likely tell from my title, it's a very common topic, but one I can't seem to find a definitive answer to. I am hoping for a little guidance. I recently bought a refurbished CECHC03 backwards compatible PS3 from a reputable seller...

Hey Guys i think i need a little help here making a decision about maintaining my ps3 here's the story I've got a little nostalgic yesterday when i saw my ps3 slim in my basement on a shelf collecting dust so i decided to plug it into my tv and play some old games, about 15 min or so i checked...

Hello everyone. I recently bought a ps3 slim 2012A, it has a heating problem, the fan is running very fast and the CPU is running at 76ºC while the RSX is running at 43ºC Initially I thought it could be a problem with the temperature sensor, but maybe this is a old thermal grease on die. what...
