maybe after this we need a thread of good air conditioners..aside from good HD tvS.. :

yer tak yer gaks...
hampeh..

saya meskin.. takder ekon...

pakai kipas atas siling ajer

Duno bout it but for the first time my 40gb kicked into full speed fan mode when playing gta iv on a hot afternoon day, graphic glitches start occuring, i quickly turn off the ps3, thankfully nothing happen after that * touch wood * and it seems that 40gb are getting more and more ylod cases, better start take caring of mine better

ya.. 40gb is the worst.. i thought the 40gb consoles got better air ventilation..

now gotta carried the 5kg uselessc console to bernard shop (from pahang).. and lets pray it can be repair..

if not, i'll sell all my games and invest on my camera..

jsc, did you take out the HDD... and try to ON your PS3?

cuz YLOD.. sometime cause by HDD or Motherboard

My PS3 already 4 time struck by YLOD..

one thing i can conclude is it need better thermal paste.last time i bought some ciken brand thermal paste...last for few days before it YLOD again (again apply the same story repeated for 3 times).then i mix it with some brand thermal paste and it last much longer but at first 15 minute the fan will kick to hyper mode in every session i start playing.

Now i'm ordering reputable brand (artic cooling) thermal paste...hope this will resolve the problem permanently....since i still has long list of games in my possession that i hasn't finish yet!!!

does it work??


so it has something to do with heat..?

guess so since it transmit the heat from the processor unit to heatsink...thermal paste also got expiry date in a way.

guys from pc modding always replace their pc thermal paste due to overclocking processor causing more heat.this is totally from my reading so don't mind this if it's totally untrue

so the thermal paste on the ps3 is cap ayam one?

cut cost cut cost

840usd lol

if PS3 is identical fully 100% to one another then i can agree to that... well in my case it seem can't last longer so had to do what ever cheapest cost to revive it back (as vorchiel said)...

blow another RM1400 is not my option,don't has that kind of luxury. well...i'm no expert either in PS3 or electronics...so don't quote me...kekeke

my pS3 died last week.. cause by lightning

how bout put laptop cooling fan underneath your ps3..
is that will reduce overheating problem.. bcause im doing that right now..

Lol pretty much useless i think, cause from what i experienced with my laptop + a laptop cooler, it actually cause more overheating than cooling as the heat tends to clog up at the bottom of the laptop cooler, the fan blow up more hot air as times goes, don't know whether its caused by my cheap laptop cooler or what, haha.

Anyway, the ps3 did a pretty good job with cooling already, so u are pretty much pissing in an ocean of piss Just put ur ps3 into well ventillated area, its more effective in cooling it off

my ylod-ed ps3 'telan' my infamous disc inside.. so i tried to open the hdd , pull it off, turn the console on & quickly pressed the eject button, surprisingly it ejects the disc!

but the console is still dead..

if by changing the thermal paste can heal the ylod ps3, would there be hope for us the 'unfortunate' people?

gosh that awful...you've got my condolence...
