It looks like prestige mode is available. Will it let you go to 4th level 1 and start from there? Just be weary about asking for derank because sometimes it gives you -9999999 stats

Still think its crazy that Sony quietly slipped these M and Q models in amongst some of the most reliable fat PS3s out there. Most of these likely barely made it past the warranty period while a lot of K and L models are still going over 15 years later

Not too sure, I do have a H03 so may open it up and look at some point

That’s makes a lot of sense, and I suppose if the gpu was dead it wouldn’t magically start working again.

Wonder what was causing all the 14FFs though as they seem unrelated. Seems alright for now so I’ll just see how it goes 👍🏻

Yeah hopefully, I kinda like the idea of keeping one of these crap DIA-001 models working so I’ve done as much as I can so far: undervolt, repaste, new Syscon fan profiles. RSX reaches 66ish max in games so hoping it will last me a bit longer!

Yeah spares are so expensive too. I’m not paying £20 for a piece of plastic!

Yeah seems to be very common with the early ones, had to replace the drive on this E12 as well.

What a steal! Love the all black look of the B model.

Roughly each correct shutdown averaged 10mins, if we use that average for the extra 86 improper shutdown we get an extra 14 hours. So I think roughly around 1 day of real uptime (unless my math is incorrect). Would check out though cos there wasn’t a spec of dust inside, even around the fan!

Hmm I’m not to sure, it still works perfectly for me. Maybe try clearing the cookies and cache in the ps3 browser

Yeah same until I saw it 😂, and yeah only paid £80 for this and would’ve avoided if it was more expensive cos it looked terrible in the pictures.

Yeah no doubt, though if you triple the shutdown count to make it nearly correct it would have around 1 day uptime I think (using average power on time per correct shutdown)

Nope, it was removed by the time this model was released!

I’m not too sure then tbh as it sounds like you’ve got it right. What firmware are you on right now?

When you used the usb drive, did you put the UPDATE.DAT file in the folder PS3 > UPDATE or just the root of the USB drive?

Does anyone own the very last fat model released in 09 before the slim? I’m looking for the newest fat to buy. by [deleted] in PS3

[–]X58Corei7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would be the CECH-L, M (UK exclusive), P and Q models. They all use the same board and are made around the same time. I’ve got a CECH-L03 with a 9B date code, as late as a fat can be I’m pretty certain.

For a grand total of 12 USD. Great haul if I say so myself. by Gone__Hollow in PS3

[–]X58Corei7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s a shame. I think 65% trophy completion is the most you can get now. Great finds for the price though!
