dang this video did not age well dang did you know you dont need a backward compatible one you i own a super slim and i am playing ps2 games ya need too do research guys .also too prevent stick drift on your controller stop using the analog stick on your xmb did oyu know you can use the dpad for the menu my ps4 and ps5 and xbox series x controllers all have stick drift because i used too use the analog stick the left one for the menu and in games .i no longer do it

why does my ps3 run the last of us with no problems but keeps shutting off on a few games , like toy story 3 and SWTFUII *(i already add the new capacitors x2 on cpu and x1 on rsx)

Hey i did this and its working so much better but it still happens , its shuts down in some games and its not even the new ones , its like games from 2010 and stuff , it keeps happening to me in Star Wars The force unleashed II and toy story 3 , so far this is the ones that happen since i add the capacitors

The video is great, and the method is unique *in previous post (2 years ago) When you said don’t put thermal pads on COK01 cpu? Both COK1&2 has same CPU 90 nm, could you please explain more, Thank you

i have ps3 silm and shut down when i tried playing any WWE games can you tell me how can i fix it

Hello there! Came across your videos and you're the only one on youtube who addresses this issue. Thank-you firstly. I have a ps3 slim, the middle model. Modded with webman and multiman during covid 2020 with modded warfare, games have been working fine in iso downloads and discs till this year. It gives out 3 beeps and dies with red flashing light. I've heard scraping sounds on the disc drive so I thought of removing it. Wolfenstein iso works fine, mafia 2 runs for a bit, both of these being 720p games. Watch dogs and cod a.w, gta5 seem to shut in a few moments after starting to play. Its greatly frustrating and dissapointing as I've transported the console from another continent, and I really want to play on the 3, held myself back from buying the 5 just yet. I'm worried dust is a contributing factor here but I can't open it myself and clean it. Let alone repair. I can take it to a shop but I don't want to get ripped off. What do I do? What could be causing it?

Awesome 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

hey , i wanna fix this what capacity did you use on the capacitors , and the voltage? thanks great tutorial.

I did exactly but my game come with dark screen and rejected

I did exactly but my game come with dark screen and rejected

that's exactly my problem. I never thought of fixing it and I played other game that run, but now I wanna play other game and fix this problem, how can I fix it?😢

I've had this problem trying to Play Twisted Metal (2012) on my fat PS2 backwards compatible PS3, after it reached the 'Sony Computer Entertainment' logo it would then turn off automatically and make the blinking sound I think twice, even if I download the game digitally it still automatically turns off when trying to load the game, I don't know if you or anyone is able to help on this? Would be much appreciated, thanks.

Thank you Tim for another great video. I have resolved a handful of issues with your tutorials after pulling my hair searching the net so i think you would be the best man to ask this: I want to remap my r1 and r2 and swap them around. after searching online I see that i need to use ps3xpad but there is no tutorial on how to use this tool. Do you know how to achieve this?

that thing at 32% fan speed and still sounds like a jet ??

Are the lids refitted afterwards as ive seen videos where it says don't stick them back on as it makes it more difficult to remove the next time. Thanks.

120C or 120F?

Love your videos, especially the details! Where can I find your reballing jig? Mine will not work with the GPU's because it is too shallow.

Hi mate dont have time to watch the full video now but just wondering if these config files are necessary for full back compat PS3 cecha models or only for the partial BC models? I have a full BC model and mount discs with webman and they seem to work fine but never heard about this config file issue

I was looking for TomDark and mistyped😂

can you show me the picture to positon to add c smd in the board circuit

I've got a ps3 slim and it has started to shut off during a game like farcry 4 after the cinematic scenes, I've taken it apart and clenched the dust out but It still does it and I can't figure out why as it's not particularly overheating well it doesn't feel like it is, how can I get the info widget like u do to pop up so I can see what temperature I'm running and is there anyway of getting error logs without using a separate part to get into the system

My console needs at least 71 degrees for ps2_emu to boot properly, then if temperature will drop below 70 ps2 games freeze and I have no idea what to do because my CECHA was retrofitted with 40nm RSX and all NEC/TOKINs were replaced.

17:56 yours says SFDER-922 but I've found one around my area that looks all the same but says STARS-922, is there any difference? because the product itself seems the same, if someone knows exactly, please do let me know to see if to buy that or not.

i have the same problem with farcry 3 what i should do¿

You need to replace the laser in the disc drive. Or buy a whole new disc drive on my eBay store. I have had a bad disc drive give a YLOD. But in this instance, when replacing the laser it will play ps2 games. The nectokins job is to keep the console cool.

Nops2 can be caused by a number of things. Missing components on the ps2 circuit. Bad ee/gs and/or bridge chip. Ive seen it be a bad rsx and even a bad nand. Cant say ive seen tokens cause it yet (although i guess anythings possible). Ive also tried all the previous fixes and nothings worked on some consoles. Nops2 doesnt have a one fix solution. If i had to guess, id say some boards just have internal traces/connections thay break and are unfixable. If i ever get a nops2 board, i do a visual inspection first, if i dont see anything missing, i cut my losses and move on.

Tim, it's not the RSX, it's more likely to be something on the PS2 side.

Already do this but still freezing on Turok evolution

Hi, I appreciate your input on this issue. I’ve had my old PS3 slim since about 2010 when the model was first initially releasing. It’s still somewhat functional, however I detect there maybe some overheating or might have gotten YLOD since it keeps turning on and off. Every time I boot it up, it immediately turns off. I repeatedly have to keep pressing the turn on button until it reaches a stable point where it stays on. Some games with demanding GPU performance surprisingly work whilst the other half don’t. I don’t want to bin the console because of the sentimental aspect nor do I want to pay for a repair as I would likely be better off buying another used console. I’m assuming it is in fact YLOD because I see the yellow light when it turns off just briefly. Is it worth dissembling the internal system and cleaning it up or would you reckon it’s done for?

SCRATCHED CELLS CAN BE REPAIRED BY AN TRACE REPAIR EXPECIALIST GUYS!!! NEVER THROW AWAY BOARDS WITH CELL SCRATCH JUST LOOK FOR THE BEST ELECTRONIC REPAIR SHOP WITH EXPECIALISTS ON TRACES REPAIR, THEY CAN REPAIR CELL.

The purple die RSX are so Beautiful, and they're Rare, they're much common on the G fat models with Cell made in 65nm And Rsx 90nm and 2 Usbs.

My problem is the other way around, with TLOU it works perfectly and with GOW3 it turns off.

hi, do these tantalum capacitors work? Panasonic 330uf 2.0v

I have a ps2 game that is in .bin and .cue format. What should I name the file?

Amazing Music, Amazing Work, Long Live Tim Dark, Long Live Stallone 🗿

Tim your last video is superB mega tech but you have one fail, You Cannot Heat the back of good working Bgas, in specific you heat the back of Cell and RSX with hot hair and at reflow temperatures, you use aluminum to protect it but still you can damage the good Bga and the signs of this defects will only show after some 6 months.

Btw this music is from Metal Gear solid 3 😊

What theme are you using on the CECHC03 machine? Just recently got mine and was looking for a clean theme such as that. Thank you

Did this end up fixing his problem ? I am the one that sold the console to him.

I watched one of your videos on how to de-lid and I followed your advice to practice on a dead unit first. So thankful I did ,cause I messed up when removing the RSX and broke off a couple resistors 😳 So thanks again for awesome 😎 tutorials.

Hi everyone, my last upload of this messed up the sound! So here is the upload again without the overlapping sound!

I feel being right handed this makes holding everything a little more difficult so thankful I'm a lefty

Hi sir my ps3 slim shuting down always and everytime at any game i play 💔 when i try ps3toolset site get 2 errors(32): Error 0: 0xA0801002 Error 1: 0xA0802022 Help me plz .. sorry for my english

Does this require a jailbroken PS3?

When I close the tray it says PLAYSTATION2 DISC, but then when I restart mmCM it just isn't showing

Hello Tim, thanks for the vid. Can we use config files in ps3 super slim ?

Can anyone give a tl:dr
