Hi all,
Now I know what you're thinking - here we go, another noob thread - where's the admin!?
Please, I just need some clarity on a specific Australian console model.
I just recently spent $170 on a fat ps3 console, one of the old 60GB versions and yes it has backwards compatibility for PS1 and PS2, yes I'm replacing the thermal paste and cleaning all vents, no it does not suffer from YLOD (not yet anyway, touch wood), yes I will be installing a WD10JPVX 1TB 2.5" 9.5mm 5400rpm hard drive (PREFERABLY BEFORE INSTALLING CFW IF POSSIBLE, because I have no idea if I can even safely update the hdd after downgrade and cfw).
It's model number is CECHC02 and it's on 4.60 version firmware - now the question is; can I downgrade this to be able to install cfw and run backup ROMs off the internal hard drive, if so, how do I go about doing so, where do I start and what tutorials/tools will be useful.
I have searched for hours on end and simply do not have enough time after work or on weekends to be trawling the internet for info that I'm not sure is legit or even the info I need.
Thank you kindly,
D
