    Hardware PS3 won't boot, power supply didn't fix anything. Help?

    Huh, okay I'll keep an eye out for those. Are the replacement parts cheap and easy to swap?

    Hardware PS3 won't boot, power supply didn't fix anything. Help?

    Thank you for replying! I'm hoping this won't require a reflow (I don't have any of the tools), so I'll check the HDD. I'm also getting the seller to hopefully swap the power supply I got with a different one.

    Hardware PS3 won't boot, power supply didn't fix anything. Help?

    I bought an old PS3 with hopes of fixing it because the symptoms it has resemble that of a burnt out power supply. So I bought a power supply from eBay pulled from another PS3 (same model APS-231), swapped them and it fixed nothing. Is there something I'm missing here? Below are the issues...

    Hacking What the heck is this hardware mod?

    Excellent. Ehh, I wanted this as a pet project but I wasn't prepared for this. I think I'm just going to resell it as is and buy another. Thanks.

    Hacking What the heck is this hardware mod?

    I found a "broken" 360 on craigslist for cheap and it came with this hardware mod attached to it. I'm assuming it is soldered on and it looks like it replaced the entire top vent cover of the 360. Can anybody identify it? Also, would it be safe to take off and use like a regular console? If so...

    PS1/2 Are there any PS1 trimmers?

    Sorry for digging up an older thread, but this really intrigues me. Are you saying that I can just open a PS1 ISO with Windows Explorer, delete what I want to delete, make a new ISO from those files using something like ImgBurn, and it will play without error? I used to fill my PSP with PS1...

    Hacking Advice on modding 360 + DVD Drive replacement

    That explains it. Alright, I'll order the replacement laser. If that doesn't fix the issue, then I'll just have to sell it for parts I guess.

    Hacking Advice on modding 360 + DVD Drive replacement

    I'll keep that in mind! I do have a question regarding the 360 at hand actually. I just booted it up now but this time with the DVD drive cover off. Never dawned on me to do that before. When I tried closing the tray, the laser would activate and move around (yay!, thought it was completely...

    The whole process seems pretty fun, won't lie! I'll have to come back to it soon. Definitely saving this thread so I don't forget what you guys told me.

    Hacking Advice on modding 360 + DVD Drive replacement

    Hmm, this is starting to get costly. I'm honestly not in a position to be spending any crazy amount of money. I think I'll just repair this 360 with a new laser and the e74 one I have on the side and opt to mod one for myself down the line when I'm a bit more stable. That and I just love taking...

    Hacking Advice on modding 360 + DVD Drive replacement

    Alright, that clears things up a bit. I was on the fence as to whether I wanted to sell the console or keep it for myself (I don't have a working 360). Since the XKey needs a dump of the OFW, do I need to get my laser working properly? If I remember correctly, since I have a Lite-on drive that...

    Hacking Advice on modding 360 + DVD Drive replacement

    EDIT: I really have no intention of playing anything through the drive anyways, I'd prefer to load through USB or HDD if possible. Do I even need to fix this in order to do that? Okay, update. I decided to try cleaning the whole drive first just to see if I had an easy fix on my hands...

    Hacking Advice on modding 360 + DVD Drive replacement

    Alright, I've disassembled the 360 to the drive. This has DEFINITELY been opened previously, this thing has so many broken clips I was surprised it was even holding itself together. Seems I have a Lite-On drive. Hopefully its just the laser. I've noticed people mentioning POT tweaks in regards...

    Uhhh...I'm not quite sure. The sticker looks like some tried picking at it, but the seal isn't actually broken. It doesn't look like someone tried to re-apply the sticker either. The part that is intact is stuck firmly.

    I picked it up like this. If that really is the case, that'd be awesome! I'll try that first then.
