The GPU is missing its heat spreader. I think someone’s been inside the console before. The warranty sticker was intact but there were also missing screws.

resorting? great video by the way

It's a shame that my first PS3 was not backwards compatible with PS2 games. It died on my a few years after I got mine. It was still a fat model but with 2 USB ports and the front panel didn't open and an 80GB hard drive. One thing about fat model PS3 consoles is that they also had a tendency to overheat.

Nice job

Sadly its a matter of time before the GPU breaks in this ps3 becouse of the defect in the first type of GPU that was used in most Phat models,unless its GPU gets replaced with newer one from slim . latest phat ,slim and superslim have newer GPUs that dont have a defect ,

17:59 Be aware that theres supposed to be a metal ihs on the rsx if you dont apply it the heat sinks cant make proper contact on the chips which causes over heating

Tekken 3 😁

I keep seeing ps3 restoration videos lately, I think I need to get one

It nice to fix gaming system clean

PS3: what new on ps3 BUSTED!!! friend: …

A nice video for 2025 need to see alot more videos

excellent

Wow, excellent restoration partner, I've always been hesitant about restoring mine, can I remove that label without damaging it using a hair dryer?

I HATE PLAYSTATION 3! 😡

Cool video!

love you ps3 ❤ ❤

Your videos are great, keep continuing

Your first video in 2025

Didn't you fix this 10 months ago?

Ist this black rubberpice at the left at 2:46 important? I cleaned my Controller and forgot to put it Back in ..

Smokers console for sure that’s disgusting!

I saw that the disc drives were different. It was a samsung dvd drive before, and now it was a philips drive

I've tried all that and the noise still beeping

Can someone tell me why after dusting the inside of this system I still get a frozen screen that forces me to hold the power button for a shutdown and when I don’t get a frozen screen and I start up a downloaded game it shuts down to the point of unplugging to receive the five volts required for sleep mode and when the game does play after 2 minutes I am given green and white vertical lines shaped to be lateral standing rectangles

Profi.

*peel

After all that work i would have added some Mods to it while it was all taken apart.

Unfortunately, this console most likely has a bad GPU and the only fix is a replacement GPU. Also, the bolt mod kit you bought from Ebay will not help in anyway shape or form

SUBSCRIBED ❤

Amazing job man

Remarkable!

🔥👏👏❤

Good Video

Listen I’m sure you’re tired of hearing the “it’s not a permanent fix” or “it’ll cause permanent damage” but I have to give you credit where credit is due. Fixing electronics of any kind isn’t easy and it takes a bit of learning. And so what if it damages it? There’s thousands of these junk 360s lying around and I doubt all the people commenting about how the fix ain’t perfect have actually attempted to fix one the “right way” since the equipment required to replace the gpu is expensive as hell. So props to you for actually trying a fix, and hey… the chances of the fix sticking are never 0!

As a 32year experienced electronic technician, i truly have yo say what a relief it is to see someone.take the same care in checking voltages, and electrical safety seriously. People.dont realize when youpower that stuff on and then immediately takenit apart, those electrolitics can hold a charge for qyite awhile and atill be very hazardous. I love watching your electronic restorations, i javw somw of the same tendancies you do ive noticed!

Thats not good thats terrible that things don’t work

I don’t understand how people let their consoles get that dirty. Protect your investment

Amazing.

This is not a permanent fix. All youre doing is kicking the can down the road. Youre arguably making it even worse by bolt modding it and warping the board. The real issue lies with the faulty gpu. The only PROPER fix for these consoles is to use an actual bga rework station and REPLACE the gpu. Im not talking about some harbor freight heatgun and plumbers flux. Im talking about an actual professional who takes pride in his/her work and uses the proper equipment.

Dead rising killed 9 of these for me.

What was the "repair" exactly? What was the problem and why are we replacing the caps? Why are we changing the cooler clamps? And why are we not removing the protective film on the thermal pads?

The underfill is the problem on the GPU. Not the heat sink. Not the solder balls. The physical GPU needs to be replaced.

Well another crack at it I see. This is a good way to convert a RROD 360 to a temporarily working 360 at the cost of permanently making it actually unrepairable. The first thing you did by putting back the XClamps was good, but this is gonna continue bending the board, which will make it curve at the GPU, and then you can't replace this bad GPU with a fixed one that won't RROD, since the actual problem is inside the GPU, and you need to replace it with one that is known as fixed. Worst of all that bending can actually cause internal board damage so sadly it's pretty much done for. At least it's just a basic Metro Xenon, it's not rare or anything

Muito bom irmão, parabéns 👏

24:37 can you tell me what this is called?

you should clean the motherboard too in warm distilled water plus dish washing soap and dry it with hot air ..then it be like new

Yo bro, you’re so good at this stuff. I wish I can be good at this stuff like you when I’m older.😊

Can I send you mine to restore?

Someone get this guy an electric screwdriver 😂

I FXED one of my two 360's in a fit of pique, I serviced it and no way pedro, so I tried the bolt mod and nyetski matey, I then went at it with my rework hot air... nope still the red ring of fire so in the end I flooded the big chips with liquid flux and had at it with my hot air gun full blast full welly and what do you know it worked O.o
