If my refurb 60GB unit dies, I'm not sending it back to SCE for repair again, so I'd either reflow the logic board myself or just recycle it for parts. Fortunately, it currently sees about as much use as my Xbox 360, which is to say very little, since the 40GB replacement w/ 500GB HDD I bought a year ago has become my main console. And as use drops to zero, the odds of failure coincidentally also drops to zero. I've pretty much stopped playing any PS2 games anyway and would just as soon wait for re-releases tweaked for the PS3 (like GoW collection, and hopefully ICO collection and MGS collection). |
Yea i used artic silver 5. when opening it up originally the sony used some really cheap paste and Alot of it. I just used enough to have a thin sheet over the chips. I dont play my ps2 game on ps3 anymore either as i still got my ps2.
