Oh, and yes, and update could cause problems if it altered the way hardware processed things...which consequently, a lot of firmware updates do. Now, this having been said, I would NOT suggest throwing your PS3 in the oven, this may temporarily fix it, however, the heat could cause components to "wear out" even faster, so next time, you may not be so lucky. I would suggest finding a better method...like the X-clamp method for the 360. That is a permanent fix, and you can clean out the console as well as reapply heat paste. |
The two major issues I covered in my last post. 1. The Oven. 2. Sony's back-up recovery system.
1. Like I said, heating solder joints can cause massive problems because it can screw up electrical flow and components. If a piece of hardware fails contact the manufacturer. Don't attempt to solve the issue unless you have proper knowledge and experience.
2. If you remove and install the HDD Sony has a back-up system where it will reformat the HDD back to original firmware.
