It's brand new! Great work! Could you tell me the model of the TV monitor you're using in the video?
Thank you very much appreciated. The TV is a Samsung 14 inch
Model number UE22D5003BW
Wow, excellent restoration partner, I've always been hesitant about restoring mine, can I remove that label without damaging it using a hair dryer?
Thank you buddy yeah l think a hair dryer will work, and thank you for watching 😃
The GPU is missing its heat spreader. I think someone’s been inside the console before. The warranty sticker was intact but there were also missing screws.
Your first video in 2025
I also got a strike in bowling today
love you ps3 ❤ ❤
Thank you it's very much appreciated ❤️
I keep seeing ps3 restoration videos lately, I think I need to get one
Do it..I bought a 250 gb PS3 slim in working order for £35 and gave it a service (thermal paste and a clean) so in total cost about 45 quid…most games are £1-4 each so it’s easy and cheap to get over 50 games for very little money…I use my ps3 more than my ps5 now tbh..
It nice to fix gaming system clean
Cool video!
Thank you 😃
It's a shame that my first PS3 was not backwards compatible with PS2 games. It died on my a few years after I got mine. It was still a fat model but with 2 USB ports and the front panel didn't open and an 80GB hard drive. One thing about fat model PS3 consoles is that they also had a tendency to overheat.
They do sadly and thank you for watching it's much appreciated 😃
Just subbed you wouldn’t happen to do this as a service by chance cause my ps3s that I own could use some work they work fine but I know they should be cleaned
Thank you, sorry l don't do a service with my full-time job l just have the time sorry and thank you for watching it's much appreciated 😃
A nice video for 2025 need to see alot more videos
Thank you for watching it's much appreciated 😃 I've got some videos coming up this year, but they are taking a little more time to do, but when you see them, you will see why
Sadly its a matter of time before the GPU breaks in this ps3 becouse of the defect in the first type of GPU (90nm RSX) that was used in most Phat models,unless its GPU gets replaced with newer one from slim(65nm or 40nm RSX) .
latest phat ,slim and superslim have newer GPUs that dont have a defect (65 and 40nm),
Also confirmed thats a 90nm RSX GPU 10:15
Tekken 3 😁

Be aware that theres supposed to be a metal ihs on the rsx if you dont apply it the heat sinks cant make proper contact on the chips which causes over heating
The fact you didnt clean off the remaining dried thermal paste from the four chips will bother me for the rest of my life.
I know what you mean it was stuck. l know my luck. l would have broken it, getting it off, and l wanna keep it next to my PS5 so l can play all the games l have and only have two consoles under the TV and thank you for watching it's much appreciated 😃
Nice job
Thank you 😃
Basically what I did to mines, just a light reclean and repaste. Also had to replace the Optical drive. Would not play dvds/Ps2 games. Only Bluray. Previous owners only used as a Dvd/Blu ray player
Think a lot of people used it as a dvd/blu ray player was a big thing when it came out and thank you for watching 😃
@ yes, I bought mine from a senior couple. Told me the exact thing, at the time it was the most affordable blu ray player at the time.
excellent
Thank you ❤️
resorting? great video by the way
Thank you, and thank you, l didn't notice l know l spelling not the best but how l missed that l do not know
glad I could help, keep up the great work👍👍
Make believe love
Термопрокладки нужно новые использовать
Someone made delid RSX but not cell? What a mess xD
Yeah I would have put an SSD in that bad boy 😁
Ha Ha i have a Brand New One CECHC02 Still Boxed Untouched From Release & also i have another 10 that need to be Restored
Fair play to you having a brand new one untouched and thanks for watching 👍
I got two PS3 fakephats here, having only the 2 front USB so its full fat but no backward compats :*( Not that its really an issue as I got a PS2 Slim which covers 2 and 1 quite nicely, few years back my daughter says to me £60 for a PS2 Slim and a bunch o' games any good and I am like oooh yeah and so she went and got it, it came with every PAL release PS2 game and 100 PS1 games included plus... two Ferrari Mad Catz steering wheels with foot pedal addons and I was chuffed to bits as my little lady she do good that day. I had to put a shelving unit next to the telly in front room, atop is my £17 Switch which works lovely but doesn't dock and cba to solder in the new filter, below that is my Forza edition Xbox One which including parts cost me £14, that sits atop another £4 Xbox One 1540 which worked out the box, then there is my two Xbox One S's one a grey Battlefield limited edition, then there is the PS3 shelf with two phat ones on there, below that is the PS2 and my heavily customised Gamecube and my few quid Mega Drive 2... In my cupboard under stairs lieth my NES, SNES and Dreamcast, just gathering money as they gather dust, SNES I had to whip some caps off as they were puckering like someone's after a bad curry, NES works but a pig to connect to a flatscreen and DC I pulled the leaky caps off with values written on a post it note inside the shell.
Fair play, you have a lot of stuff. I've never used a steering wheel with pebbles for a game's consoles. I have to say you did really well with all that for £60 and thank you for watching it's very much appreciated 😃
What about PS2 games?
It plays PlayStation 2 games as well and thank you for watching 😃
