  • hey junker

    i opened up my ps3 the fat one and i opened up the disk drive and i closed it back and i reopened it and now their are these too little gray sticks poping up from the fron were the 2 little holes are at in the front were the disk gets inserted into? and i cant put in the cds because it is like a barricade what happened please help mi!

  • @luisyale15 Your drive needs to be realigned so that it is in the ejected position again. My "revised emergency eject" video has a quick way to align it and put the optical drive top back on properly.

  • Hey junker15

    i have an 80GB ps3 and it used to work perfectly until rescently it began to trip off, beep three times and the green light turns into a blinking red light, when I play all games except FIFA12. i dont think it is an overheat problem. i think it has somthing to do with the lense. And everytime i play the games that trip off my ps3, it always goes off at a specific place. So if you or anyone has any information on this problem I would really appreciate it.

  • @owenzarido this "Yellow Light of Death" problem is typically not a lens problem. It's most likely the usual issues that produce the YLOD (bad solder joints on the CPU or GPU from the console heating up and cooling down over and over)

  • Thanks for that molex info junker15. Do you have any experience "reballing?" I have a PS3 with a bad BMD-002 A4 and I am wondering if I could solder the BMD "key" to a working BMD-001 A3. Thank you again in advance.

  • @greentree823 I haven't done any SMD rework of this nature on the PS3 (yet... just got some rework equipment), but if the flash part is the same part between the two boards, it should work. I can't imagine Sony having different firmware for different revisions of the controller, but that might be something to keep in mind if it doesn't work...

see all
