hardware

If i remember correctly, @baileyscream had this guide for unbricking or downgrading before coreos flashing existed with @bguerville 's toolset. It was called baileyscream ultimate fool proof guide or something like that and you could download it and install it and it'd have some steps for either...

I am tinkering with a PS2 slim to try and bring it back to life again and was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction for the issue I'm having. The unit get a standby light, then turns green when you push the power button. However, there is no fan spin and no other signs...

Came across an interesting article today which I thought I'd share. It gives a very in-depth explanation of the history and hardware of the PS3. It certainly helped even an idiot like me understand and appreciate the technical achievements the PS3 offered in terms of hardware and the history...

Hi, I recently bought a used PS3 and I didn't have time to test internet with it and now I moved abroad with it and no networking works (doesn't find any wifi, controllers don't stay wirelessly connected, nor does it recognize working ethernet cables) which crushes my wish to jailbreak it cause...

Set webman fan speed to 95%, system lagged, there was no way to disable it. Tried using a web browser on a PC, didn't load. Installed OFW 4.87 Wanted to format the HDD, couldn't navigate in safe mode due to no original controller Used the System Restore option instead PS3 finished restoring...

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?

I want to apologize in advance because of opening a new thread, i've been searching for days but couldn't find solution. So i have ps3 slim CECH-3004A and the thing won't start. Red light is on, and when i press button, the console starts light goes green and immediately turns off and there is...

Hi guys! I just opened my next PS3 to apply new thermal paste, and the CPU lid was glued to the heatsink literally. Apparently the previous owner de-lid it. I assume the GFX-chip may also have been de-lid but didn't stick to the heatsink when removing it. So what I gonna do now? I think I will...

Hello, I'm looking to pickup a new PSU for my phat CHECHA01 PS3 that would run cooler than the stock ZSSR5391A that is in mine. I was looking at the chart on here to reference PSUs https://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/Power_Supply#Modifications_and_Repairs The APS-231 from my understanding would be...

Hey, I have a OFW PS3 CECH-3004 and the version is 4.81. I do not want to upgrade to 4.82 because I can not wait for the Ps3Xploit. But ... my question is: can I jailbreak my PS3 with my CECH-3004? I only want to use the Ps3Xploit and I do not intend to buy an e3 flasher. So is it possible to...

The modification is based on skipping two steps in the upgrade process. "BD FIRMWARE" and "Bul-ray Disc Player Revoke list." Whose patches are: 0x3CF0 offset = 0x419E0044 0x3C50 offset = 0x48000034 This allows you to skip the two functions related to the BD-Drive. We avoid the error and let...

It's known fact that first model of Playstation console is very good CD audio player. But do you aware how good it is? Some audiophile sites comparing SCPH-1000/1001/1002 models to High-End CD players. Some of them even stated that first PSX sounds like hardware worth around 6000$ (yes six...
