Tried this with no luck. Might have to use a heatgun..

Great video. One of my PS3 SS White gears has sheared off its teeth. Do you know what the specs are for the gears. Are the white ones both the same?

Like a demented fucking frankenstein.... I'm still laughing

Hi mate I got solvent 646, Is it good?

Horrible video

4:21

so to desolder I frist need to add solder?

A European with dental floss, now thats funny.

Is the glue different across different models? Or is isopropyl not good enough? 10-12h of flossing and only managed to scrub away some glue around the edges. Zero chance of making the floss go through IHS like on the video.

Thank you man, your method successfully revived my Backwards Compatible PS3! I can’t thank you enough :)

HI all... today im just letting everybody know that this channel is not dead... just the guy whom owns it has not posted due to his MS getting worse... and affecting his walking, hands and over-all mood and abilities...😢 Its been ages... he says sorry... but stay safe... and eventually we may get another video... posted by his mate MCK. 15 04 2024...

I send my ps3 to change the Bluetooth but now I know that they lost my gears also... the only problem it had was the Bluetooth.. sad but thank you my friend

Funciona 100%... gracias... working 100%

What about fishing line?

What a waste of time, you have the crappy PAL PS3 model which is missing the EE ps2 chip. Not worth the effort, EPIC FAIL 🤡

I guess a fishing line could work better

Thank you Out of all videos Yours made sense ! You saved my fat PS3 😀😀😀😀

Use longer floss damn you are making it harder than it should be

Worked for me today! Thank you for your contribution to human good!

out of curiosity, how long did this system last before it died again? the ''heatgun trick'' isnt a fix, so im just curious on how long it lasted

I told my ps3 to floss all the time but he wouldn't listen

Will delidding help with the fan noise of the fat ps3? It kicks in to a higher rpm because the paste under the IHS is old and dry?

After 8 hours and wasting 1 pack of dental floss I barely made a dent. I think they put super glue on my cechj...

Having watched various videos on removing the IHS I went with your method as you used the words 'safest method'. Well, I don't know if I'm not very good at it but it took 4hrs in total, not sure how you did it in 10 minutes. It didn't really matter how long it took to me though, and I'm pleased to say they came off eventually, the RSX popped straight off but the the CELL was much trickier, thankfully no damage on either. They certainly needed some maintenance as the factory paste had gone very hard and crusty.

How long did this take you exactly? What was the total?

WoW It would be very good way to save pieces! I Will use something similar. I appriciated however it's a 0.08mm wire I bought on AliExpress!

this actually seems less dangerous than a metal string or a blade, but I wonder if heating the glue instead of the solvent might work better

I ended up using aglets to replace the pegs rather than screws, I didn't want to sacrifice screws.

Hey y’all I know that this can sometimes work but it can and will fry you Dreamcast. You have to calibrate the laser with an oscilloscope and even doing it with the oscilloscope is a bad idea if you don’t know what you’re doing

Brilliant toy!

I wish I could get image file of HP1 prototype…

Great video! Blur in quantity, Oasis in quality! I can't believe I found that washer on the side that popped up. It fell down into the system luckily. 100% helpful where others fell short...nobody else I saw covers this problem!

How do I get it out of demonstration mode 4.90? I just got it and it won’t let me do anything till I updated it to 4.90 and I did the L1 R1 square select it ask for password and I don’t know it. I tried 0000 like other videos say but nope. 😢

How were you able to reverse the screen on the LCD so it looks correct on the mirror? I’d really like to do this mod with my Arcade1up Space Invaders cab.

It's the best once hacked

Do you have a follow up video where you put the chip back on and put it together?

I think i might have a the same sort of problem with my disc drive on the original xbox. it's like the while drive is dead somehow ... and the xbox knows it, trowing an Error 7 and won't boot. I tried putting a 3v battery straight on the drive motor, no response. Are you sepose to mearure continuity on the motor? I'm not getting anything on mine tho. I did get continuity from the incoming cable to all the points on the board. Just nothing on the plus and minus on the motor. If I where to replace the motor, could it be any motor from another disc drive? I got loads of old drives lying around .... any help on the matter is much appriceated.

Thank you!!! It's ALIVE!!

U said fix not replace dumbass

Your background music rules

Wish time travel existed lol

What about gpu ihs? And how to clean dried paste on four corners of gpu?

I wonder if Sugru would work better.

Quick guide... 16 minutes

Man I wish I saw this back at Christmas when I got my 60gb ps3 and broke it from trying to pry it off with a painter’s knife…

I'm actually surprised this has happened. I've used Xbox 360 controllers, PS3 controllers and never had issues. There was one controller that turned ever so slightly on FPS games but no gamebreaker. But Dualshock 4s? They are notorious for getting stick drift within a year.

EDIT: after few months I've realised that the unit itself had damaged cell solderballs, it had the eraser mod. 🥶 I've done other 4 successful delidding using molybdenum wire. I've used 0.06 mm molybdenum wire. Unfortunately this method could break solder balls under the cell...Delidding looks perfect but It Ended up with GLOD. Be careful guys! Maybe, I've been unlucky.

What type of thermal pads should I use on all other areas already using thermal pads? Conductive or nonconductive for all consoles? Wii, ps2 slim, ps3 slim, ps3 fat, ps4 pro.
