| Parasitic said: I'm thinking about replacing my ps3's hdd (80gb model, only about 7gb's left because of movies/demos) and I read an article on CNET that said just about any 2.5" will fit.....is this true? This is the one I'm looking at: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136280
And one more quick random question: Are ps3 repairs still $150-180'ish? Seems pretty insane if true :x Does anyone know what specifically causes YLoD's on average? I'd reaaaaaally hate to spend all that cash to replace/fix a bricked ps3 : l |
as long as the hdd is sata
back up your ps3 with external drive usb ect then restore it to ur new hdd its the only way you'll get ur saves that are protected back but only works on the same ps3 or by the data transfer but that requires 2 ps3s
yes repairs are still about $200 for ylod, overheating cycles, solders on all systems are lead free meaning there weaker than lead based u could prevent by changing thermal paste and fan, letting ur ps3 cool down in xmb before shutting off after intense gaming
there are plenty of 3rd partys that can fix ylod for 100-150 even the with the better method of reballing the cpu and gpu and saving ur info on ur hdd some are capital circuits, knights gaming, and gophermods sony doesnt not do this they give u another system or fix urs but they always reformat the hdd
just looked at the hdd u link i got the same one in mine works flawless and helps with loading some people experience problems with certain hdd that have higher cache than the original ones in ps3s like the one you link so its important to search before you buy
is that a 4 usb 80gb you got? or the 2
