ps3 fan full on

[BIG-TED]

acquired an early one with knackered drive, same symptoms fast fans, this time managed to remove the two heatspreaders using the pre heater set at 90 and a tool made from my girls hair slides bent and the end wet and dried to get rid of any sharp corners and make it sharper, pic to follow, made from spring steel so quite tough too.

Here's my tool (snigger) one of them hair clips bent at the end with the edge wet and dried to give it a sharpish edge, and with its rounded corners shouldn't cause much damage along the way.

My sons Phat 60gb console does the same thing,i could probably do this repair myself if i knew what the heat spreader looks like.

That tool Ted is genius!

If I can find away to get this RSX off, I'll post it. If not, I'll send the whole board for you to break.

On the ps3 front does anyone have a slim faulty that has a 2 row hdmi port??

Need one for mine as the kids fooked it up and cant get them for toffee.. Can get the 3 row hdmi port no problem.

Just bagged one for 17 squids, reflowed and got fw 3.11 on it. :-D
Got to get some more heatsink compound ran out. my little tool worked with no damage, the heat spreader on the rsx wasn't stuck like the others though.
