Advice for a PS3 newbie

Post by erbo »

Automatically translated from French.

Hello forum,

So I just got an 80GB PS3 on FW3.55 in which a game is stuck in the drive (I tried the good old spring cleaning trick "press eject + power on the console" which didn't give anything so I'll take the drive apart to get the game(s) out) but the console hasn't suffered YLOD, it turns on and works. That's for starters.

I'd mostly need your insight to know what to do with the beast and how to make the most of its possibilities
Could you enlighten me on which CFW to install and which Homebrews are most useful

thanks in advance

eric.

did you manage to get the dvds out without dismantling the mechanism?
Does everything work now?
For me the little fan thing doesn't work either. I also had a stuck dvd. Maybe unrelated... Or not :P

My console being on fw higher than 3.55 when I got it back in ylod (repair with heat gun ok) and being a non-downgradable 60go I haven't yet looked into the hack problem for now. :98:

No one here is up to date on PS3 anymore, I do have one but not at all up to date.
A good thing for you that it's on OFW 3.55. What I can already tell you is to switch it to CFW 3.55 thanks to this tutorial.

And take pictures of the ps3 disassembly ;)

Back again with some news.

So the PS3 was opened, the BluRay drive disassembled and the CD-R removed from the drive, everything reassembled but impossible to insert a disc, so disassembled again and did an autopsy of the Bluray drive and there I notice that a small finger prevents the games from being inserted (makes sense since there was a blocked CD in there).

So I need to put the drive back in disc ejected position, so the drive goes back to the operating table.

So if you have any info I'm all ears.

a finger prevents the games from being inserted!!?? Count your fingers... Maybe one is missing :mrgreen:

I have the same problem, as already said... I hope to have time to help you this weekend ;)

Ps: otherwise I'll buy your ps3 off you for 2€ :93: (a little forum tradition) :D don't worry... The bidding will go up :bravo: :98:
