Of all the places to put a coin battery they shove it under the blu ray drive why?? It like the Chunky PS2 you need to strip it out to get to the battery because it's on the other side so I didn't bother. But I will need to do this to my PS3 soon

After all that my PS3 still didn’t stay on. (Green for a few seconds then cuts out and flashes red until I press power button again). Clear and informative video though, so I appreciate it

Exactly what happened to mine

@deko2060 Ай бұрын

Sounds like the Yellow Light of Death, pay attention to the power light before the beeps, see if it flashes yellow before going red.

"You will void your warranty" Is there any PS3 that is still within Warranty at this stage?

@TheRetroStuffGuy 4 ай бұрын

I very much doubt it!

Isn't it illegal for companies to say you will void the warranty. Because as a consumer you have the right to repair your own stuff

I Upgraded to an SSD and installed the software from a USB, but now my disc tray won’t read any discs, it doesn’t even attempt to, upon the disc entering after about 2 seconds it makes a disc ejecting noise and seems like it’s moving the disc back up ready to be ejected. Any ideas if this is to do with the SSD and what would be the possible solutions ?

Did you disasebled the ps3? When I did it, I accidentally connected the disc drive flex cable "the other way around". In my head it was the same thing but the console stopped reading discs after that. Later I fixed it

@@MikGSC turns out the disc drive was “blocked.” I took it to a repair guy and initially he thought the laser was gone or maybe the mechanical part was busted, but turns out if you push a disc too hard into the slot (previous owner, not me) there is a small plastic part than can click forward preventing discs from even reaching the “reading” stage. One push on this small plastic part from the repairman and boom works like new. For anyone who puts a disc in and instantly hears an eject style noise then this is most likely the cause. I wouldn’t attempt to fix it myself because watching him struggle to open the latch and clips on the disc drive made it look pretty difficult.

My PS3 was far worse, you have to take the whole board out the case as its covered over ( with just a few aeration holes in the case metal not full access to the battery) , then with the board loose have to take the metal backing away plus the CPU strap downs before you can split this sandwich to get access to the battery. It is no way as easy as this video unfortunately...although the video was still useful thanks.

Hello, the bios battery has been changed, but when the device is turned on and off, it asks me to set the date and time again, what do you think could be the problem?

@TheRetroStuffGuy 8 ай бұрын

For the process of elimination, I would check/replace the battery again.

So my slim ps3 overheats thinking of of chainging the battery and harddrive and adding thermal paste on top and on the bottom of the does metal plates hopefuly it stops overheating should i do it or no???

@TheRetroStuffGuy 3 ай бұрын

Changing the battery & hard drive won't stop the overheating. Clean out all the dust & do the thermal pasting first.
