fat

Here in Argentina no one is making the Frankenstein mod, at least that I'm aware of; but there are a couple of reballers. There are these people that charge more or less 60 us bucks for it and seem to do their job fine based on reviews. How much of a good plan would it be to get a backwards...

I was wondering if it is possible to upgrade ram on fat models. fat model mainboards do have quad rams and newer slim consoles have dual rams, but doubled size. quad ram ist 4x 64mb and dual is 2x 128mb. looks like both have 104pin bga. wouldnt it be possible to put 4 128mb ramchips from slim...

So I recently purchased a broken PS3 Fat (CECHE01) that wouldn't power on. To my surprise, it seemed to just be a faulty power supply, as there was no red power light when the console was plugged in. I also checked the 12v power rail with a multi-meter and it clearly wasn't receiving any...

Came across this, thought someone should post the archived link in case they don't know how to look it up manually (link is shortened for convenience of remembering and points to archive.org): https://is.gd/ps3phatcooling For the paranoid...

Hello everyone, This is my first post on this site as I was told that it is the place to ask about everything PS3 related. I have recently bought 3 used PS3s. 1 slim Black CECH2100 and 2 fats CECHH Ceramic white and CECHL Satin Silver. The reason for buying the fats is I really liked the white...

Hello everyone. After re-flashing a NOR chip of a Ps3 Fat CECHL01 and fix rsod, is the console banned? Can i log in on psn with my account (after disable syscalls of course)? Some people tell me i will get "re-banned" with the red screen if i do so... Is it true? Thanks!

I've tried searching for this topic, and I've gotten some mixed answers. I'm trying to find out for sure what the problem is so that I don't waste my money on replacement parts that won't fix the issue. I apologize, as I know this topic has probably been covered at length somewhere else, but my...

So I got a PS3 CECHE01 Phat version, it was used in a lab a very long time ago. It's very clean and I believe its had very little usage. Its just been sitting in a box for a long ass time. So the other day I wanted to see about soft modding this thing. I turned it on, and I could have...

Hi guys. I’m familiar with instant/2 second YLOD, but this 40gb unit is taking 5 seconds into the boot cycle to YLOD. Can anyone shed light on the usual suspected problem? Thanks.

Hi people. I have issue with my ps3 fat bluray, it was jammed, but i managed to get rail and gears unstuck by unscrewing motor and moving rail to start position. But everytime i put lid on top and try to run disc, it only rotates disc on entrance, but would not take it inside. Thank you all in...

one question . ps3 fat may have a higher temperature by cfw or pro mod (rebug rex) because before installing cfw I played 30 minutes and there was no problem. after installing cfw in 5 minutes IN XMB OR GAME it has a temperature of 85 degrees That's why I'm asking because the ps3 turns off at 85...

Hey, So I was looking for a fan to replace in my PS2 as the noise is unbearable, having an SSD helps a bit, but still it's really loud. I've seen people doing noctua mods, but I couldn't see any file to print in a 3d printer to fit one, buying 40$ premade kit is overkill IMO. Printing such a...

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone could recommend a shop that is good with the YLOD issue. I have a 60gb Fat PS2 which has the YLOD and I've sent the unit to 2 shops (one VideoGames911) where they were unable to do anything. I think they just reflowed. I really want to get this unit...

Hi, I know fat and slim models have different ports but slim port is only available to me. Can I modify top part of slim port (take top plate from fat port and put it on slim port)? And solder it on my mobo. Will it fit?

Hi, I am looking for 3D model Vertical stand... Has someone seen this? I only found this: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1715403

I bought a week ago a CECHA01 PS3 dated January 2007 and it plays great, for $90 on FB Marketplace. I feel like a kid on Christmas. It sounded like an airplane when turned on. I opened it up to find tons of dust, an excess of white thermal paste, and the grey and power cables in the fan jumped...

Hello I recently just got a a01 ps3 and when I turn it on there is no picture for either HDMI or AV I've even tried to reset the display settings and nothing. I can leave it on for a minute until it beeps green then yellow then flashing red and if I press the flashing red it goes back to normal...

I replaced the default fan on my scph-30001 to a fan from an spch-50001 console. It is dead silent which is what I wanted. I ordered a WD blue 3.5" hdd that I'm going to be using to add storage capacity for my PS2. My question is does the v9 fan push as much air as the v3 fan?

Does anyone have a SSF30A fan that they would be willing to sell me? I'm trying to compare every fan for the PS3 Fat models. I already posted a comparison of the other fans on r/ps3hacks but somehow missed this one and I'm also adding more data points compared to the original.
