Just an update on the ps3 fat 60 gb unit i sent in to PSR. inc to repair GLOD, Do not use these F’ers!!! They receive my unit in two days, wait two weeks to analyze a repair for the unit, have a stupid customer service woman send me an email, after reballing, we cannot repair your unit” due to overheating issues, they refund my 119.00, send my unit back to me, missing the hard drive cover, screw, and behold, RLOD!!! I am not an expert, but i don’t feel a reball would completely damage a unit, to total uselessness, if done properly, and create a supposed overheat issue, that was not present when sent in for repair, these so called repair places are bogus BS’ers, scamming whoever they can, but I am going to fight back on these clowns, don’t advertise a repair process that can’t be performed!!!

help/mehtab: hmm i have never heard of the cd thing your talking about, when you turn on your system do the wifi and hdd lights blinks just once? and thats it? or continuously?
I would not suggest any penny trick i have tried it once before and a reball would be a ton better.

Enrique: what were you trying to do?
by chance were you using the e3 flasher?

It is rare to locate a professional person in whom you may have some confidence. In the world at present, nobody genuinely cares about showing others the answer in this issue. How fortuitous I am to have found such a wonderful web page as this. It is people like you exactly who make a true difference currently through the concepts they discuss.

LMAO…

Did he take it apart right in front of you and look at the bluray drive? i would suggest you not go back to that guy he has no clue what he is talking about. Like i said before he could have just told you how to do the reset thing over the phone, but most likely just wants you to bring it in so he can feed you some bs about other shit… just like a good ol mechanic.
Blu ray drive dont got shit to do with the video! i let my grandma use my older e01 80gb for watching movies i download and i took the blu ray drive out of it! it works fine he dont know jack about ps3s haha. You bought it on ebay right?? Did you take the warranty sticker off yourself or was it already gone when you got it?

I took it to him and he plugged it up to the tv and did the reset thing no dice then he tried to go into recovery mode and still no video. What!!! i told him this over the phone then he goes it has something to do with the dvd drive he said it looks like someone swapped the board out and its not gonna work cause its married to another console???? I know about the boards being married to the consoles they come with but what would that have to do with no video come one man

Ok well first off good thing is your are getting into recovery mode? If you hear the quick double beep then thats a good thing, a controller does not need to be connected to the system for the video to show up, it should show up no matter what, it will ask you to connect a controller but video should still show up, sounsd like yours might be the GLOD, if you have no hdd activity and are not getting video, over heating yea thats the stock sony thermal compound still on there that is most likely all smushed out to the sides of the heat syncs etc…

I personally would say that guy you called is a idiot, if he cannot take 20 seconds to tell you how to do the recovery mode then i would more then likely say he is just going to try to screw you over and probably swap your console. He probably spent more time talking to you about it than the actual time it took to tell you how to attempt to fix it. i definitely would not be calling him any repair god hahah

For the scrambled or messed up video i personally would just attempt a reflow on the RSX. Did you friend say the CD did read? i have a feeling your laser might be bad in your drive if DVDs did not read and you get that 8002F281 error code, i have heard of some getting error codes starting with 8 that had bad lasers but im not sure on that one.

As far as the firmware i honestly dont think that would be causing a issue i have never seen 1 ps3 system that had a issue with the firmware, hard drive might possibly give you that error code but i doubt that also i would lean more towards the blu ray laser and reflowing the RSX then putting arctic 5 on and seeing what happens. Hard to say without having it in front of me and seeing it personally, the ethernet port or jack im not sure on either i have never messed with them or ran into any connection problems.

Now as far as attempting to fix it, i have never tried a over reflow i always used to use a heat gun to fix the YLOD, everybody says oh you use a heat gun and it will break a week later all this BS but all mine i fixed lasted for multiple months, then i bought my BGA rework station.
You might be able to get lucky with a heat gun and get a alright reflow on the RSX if you use no clean liquid flux, thats how i used to do it. I have tried the penny trick once before on a 60gb system that was torched off ebay and had no video/audio and i was never able to get that to work and IMO its just a cheap jerry rigged way, heat gun would be better than the penny trick.

I have a 40GB from ebay with no video/audio i bought it thinking i could do the recovery mode fix but nope still no video/audio i guess i get into recovery mode cause i hold the power button when in standby mode and get the beep followed by the double beep and the light turns green(does a controller have to be inserted for the recovery mode to show i do not have one yet) the Hard Drive indicator does not stay on when the system is running i only have the old ps1 av cords i have not tried component or HDMI yet. I just found out the fan goes into jet mode after about 2-3 mins of the system being on(could be a overheating problem). I called a local repair guy and told him about trying to get into recovery and everything and he replies “oh just bring it in man and ill show you how to get it to work i don’t have time to explain it over the phone i have customers, just bring it in.” Is this the ps3 repair God who knows how to fix this problem that has stumped many ps3 owners for years uh i think not cause i took my xbox 360 slim to him it would no longer read disc and he told me it was done and to sell it. We shall see

@Evan
The best i can get out this so far happens after selecting Option 5 and configuring the system.
My friend tested it out last night – I get the opening music but still get garbled starfield and nothing else on the screen afterwards.
He did say that the menu sounds are there and he tested playing a CD following the menus from memory. Normal DVD won’t play.

Tried installing firmwares 3.15, 3.40, 3.55, 3.72, all came back with error 8002F281.
Might be that they are not UK firmwares, do you have any reliable sources for previous versions of offical UK firmwares?

Reading up suggests this may be due to a hard disk problem.. I gonna try again with a new drive in a last ditch attempt before i go down the hardware problem route.

It’s had a complete stripdown and clean following a very detailed guide.
Thermal paste was replaced at some point before I had it.
Ethernet port feels loose as well, I didn’t get an active connection.
I’ve started stripping it down again for another go at it this weekend, as i want to find out why the ethernet port doesn’t feel right, and to see if there is anything else I can do .

Is it worth trying the ‘pennies’ trick or bending the CPU/GPU tension brackets to get better contact?

If not, is there a good guide you could provide on doing a reflow? Is oven or heatgun the way to go?

sounds like your rsx needs to be reflowed for the video issues, worst case reballed then i would go through the recovery menu and try to format and rebuild the hard drive. how far have you taken your ps3 apart?

also try not to update to 4.00, stay under 3.55

I made some progress..

Based on the fact I got a display when the hard disk was missing, I decided to try wiping the disk…
Installed the hard disk in my PC (WinXP), initialized and quick-formatted to NTFS, then deleted the partition.

Installed the disk in the PS3.. go to the double-beep… kept repeatedly pressing PS button on controller and eventually… FINALLY got to Recovery Menu.

The background was still garbled, but I got all 6 options.
Selected Option 6 told me which firmware was installed… 3.15. Tried update to latest downloaded from sony site.. failed after disk format and screen went blank again.
Reset of PS3 to double beep failed to get display or controller, so I formatted the disk and tried again.

Selected Option 5 to Restore PS3 System. Disk was formatted…
Got MUSIC and inistal setuip screen, again the backgroud was garbled, text for each option was at 30 degree angle, but I was able to configure the system.

Tried Option 6 with firmware 3.15 copied to memorystick.. error code 8002F281

I have fixed ALOT of ps3′s
Been reading through alot of the posts about people having their system work and then it breaks and after a day or after a few hours of letting it sit and then it turns back on, that is because your system has the original thermal compound on the heat syncs and your system is not transferring the heat anymore to the fan so your system is getting to hot and then it shuts it self off, you have just not reached the point of YLOD yet, all you need to do is change your thermal compound on your system with ARCTIC SILVER 5 only if your system still boots up, if it does not boot up then you will need to reflow your RSX chip that cause they YLOD, it also can cause the GLOD which just prevents video from being output, from my experience there is different levels of both the GLOD and YLOD, some GLOD you can use the recovery menu (beeping system) and get some video output from there, some GLOD system you can have them on standby and you go to hold the power button and the system will not do the beeping it just takes about 25secs of holding the button and the system shuts back off. This system i am not 100% sure of what causes it yet, it happened to my slim last night that was working 100% before.
I have fixed one of my 40gb systems that had the GLOD before, i reflowed the RSX and brought the video back and the system is running fine now, they dont always have to be reballed.

If people have questions you can email me at evanwallace29@gmail.com

If you are interested in getting your console fixed, we can set something up.
