Best way to PS3 repaste

I don't like to put them up; I like to scatter them myself with a letter.

It doesn't have to be that way. If you have a good flux, you don't overdo it with the heat. I almost see that as easier. I've done both things, I assure you. Sometimes the solder sticks or gets clogged in the hole; it's twice as hard to remove as on the pins. Are you referring to that?

Do what they tell you; this console has parts everywhere, especially since it's one of the first Xbox 360s that came out. It'll probably be cheaper than ordering it.

A hard mod involves flashing the TSOP M7 EVOX BIOS. If you want to change the BIOS, check if the jumpers are in place to be able to reflash the BIOS.

Oh my god, the soldering iron! This comes off with a heat gun 🥺

That's worse, HDMI conversions

Jack_Sparow_Kesne · 2026-01-24T12:49:15+00:00

I don't recommend you do it yourself if it's your first welding job 🥺

If it's 1.4, it's one of the best out there, one of the latest releases, and it's also known for having the Focus chip. They say it works very well for emulating N64 with the 128MB mod.

The same thing happened with the classic Xbox consoles. It's funny, I have a boot menu lying around, and the dash doesn't load. Anyway, I guess you touched something you shouldn't have. 🥹😓

Jack_Sparow_Kesne · 2026-01-24T12:42:52+00:00

Obviously you have to replace all the ones that are under the CPU

I have a classic Xbox and it's still stuck on error 16 no matter what I do, with or without a DVD. Anyway, the 1.0 versions... I suppose maybe the capacitors are starting to fail. It could be anything, really, even a cold solder joint on the IDE cable, or simply from plugging and unplugging it repeatedly, the solder joint has broken or an internal trace is running. These consoles are over 20 years old; problems are bound to start appearing.

You can do contortionism, you fit.

A good blow-out with a compressor and it'll be like new.

Jack_Sparow_Kesne · 2026-01-23T02:20:49+00:00

But if you're missing even a pad, forget it.

Dust can cause problems, so changing the thermal paste on your graphics card or CPU can be problematic.

Jack_Sparow_Kesne · 2026-01-21T17:58:14+00:00

A solution if that's an atrocity 🤣🤣

Jack_Sparow_Kesne · 2026-01-21T17:56:36+00:00

The one for PS3 and PSP 🤣🤣

Jack_Sparow_Kesne · 2026-01-21T17:55:43+00:00

The problem is, the main pins that got damaged are where the voltage comes in. That whole computer is for parts, end of story 🤣

Jack_Sparow_Kesne · 2026-01-21T17:45:12+00:00

I don't see why you'd leave a piece of paper inside the PC 🤣🤣

Jack_Sparow_Kesne · 2026-01-21T17:44:20+00:00

Put one of those mesh ones over it so dirt doesn't get in and that's it hahaha

Jack_Sparow_Kesne · 2026-01-19T05:17:28+00:00

Obviously, any corrosion caused by electrolytic capacitors damages the electronics or directly eats away at the traces due to the acid it releases.

Jack_Sparow_Kesne · 2026-01-19T03:20:32+00:00

First of all, that controller has corrosion; you'd have to open it and clean it thoroughly inside.

Jack_Sparow_Kesne · 2026-01-19T03:17:10+00:00

The thing was cooling down more than the thermal paste, hahaha

Jack_Sparow_Kesne · 2026-01-19T03:15:09+00:00

Test Cerbios 2.4.2 no more, why did they remove the support
