My Playstation 3 Slim [2009 model] bought on year 2010 seems gg now
Press power button [green] > Run 5-10 seconds (screen shows nothing) > 3 beeps sound > Power button flash red Seems like overheat? I did change the HDD afterward and the screen does show something "connect dualshock to continue" but it quickly gone away with 3 beeps sound and flash red light |

QUOTE(cycheah @ May 6 2024, 01:19 PM) rip to your PS3 slim. most likely motherboard gone case. you can try to resolder and reapply the thermal paste... but most likely wont last you long. Reason i still have my PS3 is because wanna play back some classic title games  Then Sony PS4 & PS5 unable to backward compatible, duh....  But since mine still can see the "recovery menu" so not sure reapply thermal paste will work or not. |

QUOTE(cycheah @ May 7 2024, 09:49 AM) @TongCN, i did what snipersnake suggest, i bought 2nd hand super slim and sold my spoiled SP3 slim to a shop in sungai wang. Nowadays not sure still have 2nd hand without repair, but refurbish might be a good option. What's the price of spoilt PS3 Slim tat time u sold eh? I'm in East Malaysia and not sure still can find a refurbished unit or not. |

QUOTE(cycheah @ May 7 2024, 10:06 AM) to be frank, i don't really remember the exact amount, but it's around RM100 - RM150 depends whether comes with HDD or not. But so far your refurbished unit still tanky ?carousell and FB market could be a good place to survey, but yea, courier to east always comes with a risk.  |

QUOTE(cycheah @ May 7 2024, 10:28 AM) mine isn't refurbish unit. i still switch on few months once to check things around and play some old games. have a 2 disc games can't load anymore, not sure because of disc spoiled or the disc drive. Oh ok.The disc (assume spoilt) can be read in PC if you have BD ROM ? |

QUOTE(snipersnake @ May 7 2024, 03:25 PM) unfortunately bro, you cant. HDD is tied to the ps3. if you insert hdd ps3A to ps3B, it will be reformatted Ouch, that's critical dmg Then nvm first, find free time then slowly try. |
