    Is this a rare game?

    Searched it up on eBay by luck, saw it tripled/quadrupled in price?

    Thermal Paste or Sensor Issue?

    hi, i have a fat ps3 (cechl04) and it is very very loud and i really want to fix this issue, so i googled and everyone suggests that i need to replace the thermal paste on top and the thermal paste under the ihs (delid) so i looked at a couple youtube videos and it seems really complicated and really risky

    so i called a local playstation repair store and he says he doesn't work on ps3's however my issue isn't necessarily all caused by the thermal paste but mostly caused by the thermal sensors on ps3 reporting a higher temperature than actual, which causes the fan to run louder

    This seems reasonable since the PS3 is around 15 years old, so some components might be malfunctioning.

    so this really true/accurate?

    Broken Disc Reader

    I bought quite an expensive retro game recently, and I was wondering if trying to play the game using a potentially broke disc reader will scratch or damage the disc in any way? If so, I’ll look into replacing the reader/ console whatever. I’m not exactly sure how these things work so please let me know!

    WAV Audio files always play static at the end of songs...

    I'm attempting to play WAV music files on my PS3. I've tried playing them off my NAS, a thumb drive, and even copied to the internal 1TB SSD. The files play, but during the last 2-3 seconds of a song, I get this static. MP3s do not have this issue and obviously the PS3 won't play FLAC. Any thoughts? I've tried playing with every sound and music setting on the PS3 with no luck. These WAV files play just fine on my computer with no static in the files themselves.

    I think my ps3 is possessed

    Was just playing minecraft ps3 edition and then i made a boat but when i was using the boat i heard a cave noise that sounded like breathing a few seconds later my boat broke so i left the game and turned off my ps3. Coincidenc? I think not and my ps3 keeps glitching out on the xmb screen.

    Thermal paste from Tutankhamun's era

    I'm replacing the thermal paste of my pink FFXIII PS3 that is being opened for the first time, made in 2009. I wonder why some games weren't performing so well.

    PS3 shuts off, beeps 3 times and red light is blinking, unable to turn it on again

    My PS3 is an OG backwarts compatible CECH-C PS3 I bought about a year ago.

    Thermal paste has been replaced about a year ago, even de-lidded the thing and replaced the thermal paste.

    I always let the fans run on at least 35% or more, temperature never gets higher than 60 degrees when idling (like just being in main menu), in games I always keep it under 65 degrees. It stays in a well ventilated area and it is not super dusty. Since I had it, I rarely had long intense gaming sessions, mainly used it to watch movies and play PS1 or PS2 games.

    I was in the home menu for about 20 minutes without doing anything. Started up irisman to use its file manager, which I've done hundreds of times and right after I clicked on it, it went off and beeped 3 times with the red light blinking.

    When I try to restart it it immediatly shuts off with 3 beeps and the red light blinking.

    Last thing I did, about 20 minutes before trying to start Irisman, I loaded a faulty PS1 image which it couldn't open. I don't think it got anything to do with it, but just so you know

    When I look online, 3 beeps + red light blinking points to overheating, but as I described above, I do everything in my power to keep it from overheating and regularily check the temps (but didn't do it today).

    So anyone got an idea what's happening?

    Really love my PS3...

    Question for y’all

    I want to play my PS3 while laying on my bed. Is the PS3 controller able to charge while plugged into a wall outlet or does it have to be plugged into a turned on PS3 to charge?

    Installing CFW on a 4.91 PS3 by changing its drive

    Hi everyone. I have a slim PS3 with the latest official firmware update 4.91 and its regular 160Gb HDD that I wanna change for an SSD.

    My console model is theoretically compatible with custom firmware, or rather it was before I installed the latest update. I was wondering, can I still install CFW on the SSD and make it work or is too late now?

    Thanks!
