11 years on the fat model? Wow, that’s really impressive. My stepbrother had one of those, lasted him a few years I believe, Yellow Light Of Death happened. However, there was a family owned PS3 I was already on more times than not anyway and I still remember to this day with Black Ops 2 being initially stuck in that console and by the grace of God, I was somehow able to get that console on just long enough for it to eject the disc and then it died out for good. The Slim and Super Slim models, I never had any problems on.
My Cousin still has a perfect functioning PS3 FAT, he bought it in 2008, but then he got married and had kids so he stopped playing. On the other hand, I got my PS3 slim in 2010 for my 6th birthday and it died in 2015.
My FAT Ps3 still works after 15 Years. The only Problem is that the Blue Ray Drive is dying. The whole Ps3 hangs up after like 30-60 min. playtime with Disc Games. None such problems with downloaded games, so i guess it must be the drive. Guess i won't be replaying LBP 1&2 too soon.
@@batcout8787 Well at least you got 5 years out of the Slim, so not that bad at all. I plan on getting a console collection once I get some things together and some extra money, I want to have a PS3 Slim for my living room and a PS3 Super Slim for my bedroom. I’m also aiming for getting another PS4 Slim and PS5 (digital for this next one since I already have the disc version) so I can have the collection for 2 of each console, for what space I’ll have for them all.
I've had mine for 12 years, haven't used it in maybe a year but it also makes the jet engine sound. Hopefully it still works when i go back to replay Infamous 2 or GTA 4.
I just bought a super slim, I had no idea the ps3 was Region free for its library. That's something no one talked about during the "console wars" so I kept living with Xbox, considering the free online play I understand a decade later why it was so popular
My Friend had the launch 60GB BC Model where he bought on the launch day... We both had unboxed it together and that poor thing died last year after he tried to turn it on after not using it for more than 4 years.... Yeah, it made our memories, still feel bad.... Edit: It died on 2020 during quarantine....
the same thing happened to me on my ps3 super slim a few days ago with 80002F1F9, all of my old LBP2 saves and minecraft worlds from over the span of 13 years are gone
I'm surprised your lasted 11 years. Mine only lasted about one year. It got the ylod. My uncle put it in a shopper and was locked for years. Years later I found it but couldn't get it repaired. I miss my old ps3. But hey at least I have a ps5 now.
Mines going on 12 soon, but every few years I open it up and clean it good, lube the fan shaft and mechanisms a bit. Actually, even my controllers are almost mint, still with the texture on the pads and the print not faded, which is very lucky. I havent been that easy on them, and I think I put in more hours on my PS3 then every other console Ive had put together, and I had a turbographx-16 at launch, just to give an idea how many Ive had. Runs like a top, think Ill go play some BF3 online now actually.
I have moment like this in 2022 when my PC from 2006 got so many errors. One day when I browsing, it froze and doesn't respond, its like it telling me "I'm sorry, I can't go anymore" then it just shutdown and I learn the PSU has died. How much I try to fix it, it never coming back. I have tears in my eyes and I hug it and say thank you. My friend laughing at me and I don't expect other people to understand its sentimental value. There is so many myspace page editing it helps me, so many Winamp tracks its played, I spend many days playing GTA Vice City on it when I was 13 in 2007, now its gone. I got a new PC but I still keep my old PC in my room and put it in a box. One day when I got a lot of money and can afford to resurrect it, I will bring it back.
Mine lasted nearly 15 years and the day it died I fixed it but now I have a ps5 and its time to say goodbye to the best console with the best games I've ever played.... Goodbye ps3, thank you so much for being our childhoods and having us love all your games, as the 300th comment all I can say is thank you sony, maybe if you added ps5 backwards compatability we could relive our best moments.

I think this shows that some original PS3s last much longer than others, as with other home consoles, where different units naturally break down after different periods of use.
I lost mine last year my brother in law bought it on japan last 2008 a fat one like yours and gave me in 2015 i revive it 3 times but the fourth time its died
Had a fat ps3 when I was a kid, lasted about 4-5 years till yellow light of death, took me another 4-5 to get on working on getting a batman game out, pretty sure that ps3 is forever broken.
Honestly, the last good console Sony ever made. Mine did a yellow ring of death after 6 years (bought it in 2007), got it repaired (had to change the whole motherboard) and it's still working to this day.
def the last good sony console, slim ps3 was still good but fat ps3 was def superior. I heard fat ps3 had a superior cpu frequency that showed slightly better performance and on top of that, the old models that had the emotion engine haha. The ps4 was honestly such a dissapointment for me. not just outdated for its time, but the system was always laggy and stuff. modern games were not that much of my liking and all of that. PS5 right now looks like a pretty good console, hopefully they launch an smaller and nicer looking ps5 slim.
@@hsmreu The only feature that's missing for me on the PS5 is PS1/2/3 backward compatibility. Then, it would take the crown from the PS3. Unfortunately, Jim Ryan hates video games, so that is not going to happen.
@@twin10broter Yeah, I guess but the thing with backward compatibility is that I want to play the games I haven't played yet.

I remember how OCD brushed my disks before putting them in the console to avoid the blu ray reader becoming dirty. (It's impossible to properly clean the insides once it gets dirty ) Lasted me a decade before I sold it in working condition . 😂. Slim 160gb edition
reflowing/oven/towel trick works but only for a few months at most and then it will stop working again the only way to permanently fix this is desolder the gpu from the motherboard and replace it with a working gpu i know because in the mid 2010s i bought a RROD xbox 360 for $20 and did the oven trick and it worked for 3 months as long as i kept stacking books on top of its heatsink to pressurize the gpu but eventually it completely stopped working. so its like i got 3 months of xbox for $20
apparently all you have to do to fix it is buy a GPU out of a slim PS3, desolder your GPU from the motherboard, solder on new GPU and write some signals over serial and its fixed search "RIP Felix"
I still have my fat model ps3 maybe you forgot to clean it or you need to change the terminal paste or get a new hard drive mine it's still working since 2006 the first model
@@technological69 it sucks how your PlayStation 3 has a red light of death. But in Canada, and everything in worldwide, they refurbished the entire PlayStation 3 consoles
if you feel comfortable, you should definitely wire up a usb to TTL adapter and connect the wires to the syscon chip. it's a really basic job, even if you know nothing about soldering, just get yourself the cheapest iron that you can find and a bit of wire and you should be able to get the error codes from the console and determine what is its issue. its wirth the try!
Delid both chips and replace that thermal paste between the heat spreaders and chip then thermal paste between heat spreaders and heat sink and it will run cool and quite again
@@technological69 Deliding is removing the cover off the CPU chip ( kinda tricky ) and re applying the paste to it. Thermal paste does not last forever. Some excellent videos on how to do it, LinusTechTips has some 😊👍
If your processor still works and the ps3 is able to show video, you have some things you can do. Most common thing to happen in fat ps3 models is the failure of the cell processor, causing overheating, yellow light of death, depending on the problem you can fix it by reballing or changing the thermal paste and cleaning the fans obviously haha. There's also a really terrible problem which is the failure of the hdmi chip, dont have much knowdledge about this, but theres a certain failure that happens in most ps3 consoles, at least has happened to various ps3 slim that i have used, where problems start to gradually get worse, from audio being lost frequently, to video not being able to output other than 480p, to then video flickering and losing signal to eventually failing and not outputting any video. What to do, probably use the ps3 in low resolution modes aka 480p/480i, this problem is probably like a time bomb in every ps3 so take care haha. My ps3 died because of this, my brother has two ps3 slims, one of them is a pretty early model and hasnt presented any problems about that, but a newer model of him is also presenting some issues so he stopped using it haha. Weird
Reflows are and have always been temporary, since as mentioned before, the problem’s with the component itself, not the material that connects it. Heat only rejuvenates the RSX temporarily before the die and substrate bumps crack again and your console dies.
