    Are the blueray drives the same across all slim models?

    Thats what I thought, thing is the warranty sticker was still intact, I know they can be removed and put back on without void coming through so im wondering if the otiginal paste broke down, in places it was transparent , like water.

    PS3 Slim , no wifi , no blutooth?

    I took the old one apart last night, no visual damage that I could see, no dust in it really, thermal paste was very wet, I wasnt expecting it to be, it seemed to be getting very hot around the power supply when it was running but it seems the hot air exhausts through the power supply. Its not...

    PS3 Slim , no wifi , no blutooth?

    If its just game data im not really too worried, ive only had the machine for a couple of weeks, there really isnt much on it. I found this tutorial , I may have to install the update from SD card.

    PS3 Slim , no wifi , no blutooth?

    Thankyou, what do I format it to? fat32 or ntfs? When I put the drive back will the PS3 automatically reinstall?

    PS3 Slim , no wifi , no blutooth?

    So the PS3 system restore may not have fixed the issue? I assume the ps3 hard drive will need to be removed, connected to my PC then formatted?

    My sons ps2 died, it stopped reading discs. So, I replaced it with a PS3, about a week later I decided to run it wired to my BT smart hub. All was fine for a day or so until the controllers failed to sync. I tried to connect wirelessly and nothing. So far I have done a complete reset, it ran...
