Are you still selling these? I can't get the link to work. If you ARE still selling them, how much? I've been dying to get another one of these since my died. That seems to be my only option since there's NO ONE in my section of the country that even bothers to fix consoles at all. Let alone PS3s. Thanks for posting. These videos have been awesome.

It looks like that the PS3 is one of the most complicated consoles ever, even compared to more modern ones ? Seems like its a very complex system inside

[@giorgiannicartamancini3917]

That console was garbage tbh, at least it pushed me towards pc gaming

[@tlowe0911]

Facts

[@harrisontashjian752]

Yep, the first ps3 systems are super complex inside, the model shown in the vid is an E01 but there are others such as the A01, B01 and G01 that share the same internal layout. A massive redesign happened with the K01 and onwards.

[@KyudoKun]

4:46 Now I know why the PS3 cost $800 to manufacture when it was launched in 2006. Just look how gigantic that motherboard is, plus the huge cpu and gpu and other components glued into the pcb itself. I can imagine Sony was in a panic mode for selling the PS3 for $599-499. Since they're losing $200-300 for every systems sold. It's like they pick a huge rock and bash it into own head.

[@studiofr]

Correct! 👍🏻

[@Dirty_Bear22]

Make sure you also remove the ihs off both processors, the thermal compound is completely destroyed under them.

[@phrg8332]

@@Dirty_Bear22 really? is thermal paste expensive?

[@Dirty_Bear22]

@@phrg8332 yup. Sony used low quality paste, after all these years the thermal paste is all dried up and no good. Plenty of videos about PS3 ihs removal. Good paste is 10-20 dollars a tube, enough for 2-3 replacements. I like using Thermal GRIZZLY hydronaut paste in PS3 consoles. I forgot to mention, but the nec Tokin capacitors are a common ylod failure, and should also be replaced with better capacitors. Custom firmware is recommended because the factory fan tables run pretty hot. Ihs removal and nec Tokin capacitor replacement is difficult if you aren’t experienced, and will lead to permanent damage if performed incorrectly. I use cramolin flux remover to melt the glue, and .235mm fishing line to saw off the ihs glue. Some specialty repair will do both for $100-150. Fat and early slim PS3 all need new paste under the ihs, and nec Tokin capacitors replaced if you want a good future lifespan. Later slim models fixed the capacitor issue, but would still greatly benefit from getting the ihs removed. On newer slim consoles the ihs is incredibly difficult to remove. The last generation of super slims are the most reliable as they may have a soldered ihs, but some still use thermal glue. Unfortunately preserving older PS3 consoles is pretty involved...

[@phrg8332]

@@Dirty_Bear22 oh damn, didn't know that, I've ordered new thermal paste (and paint) but don't have the technological skill to resolder such small things. once it ylods I'll do it because i can't risk breaking it even more then :)

[@thekenixkil]

this is the 80gb model, the CECHE01; and there are 4 models backwards compatible with ps2 discs: CECHA, CECHB, CECHC (EUR) and CECHE

[@TheLostAndNotFound]

CECHA01 the best one imo! Full backward compatible hardware. None of that partial emulation bs.

[@theshield1613]

Still have ps3 60gb launch day works to this day and now it's in my closet

[@harrisontashjian752]

It's not 100 percent compatible on even an A01 those still have to emulate many system functions of a ps2, including the ps1 cpu that was used in ps2 games

[@shabbeerazeez9263]

Mate amazing work. I'm thinking of doing the same to my 60gb console. One question, where did you get the playstation 3 sticker for the top of the console. I can't seem to find it anywhere?
