Somebody mentioned de-lidding the CPU. I am hoping to get away with not doing that, but we’ll see how it runs.
I got it for $40, so I can’t complain. The disc drive works fine, it outputs 1080p, the controller input works fine. It just needs to be cleaned like all hell.

I thought the same thing as I saw the imagine. 😅
Images you can…smell? I have fine dust on my fingers now, thanks a lot.
i didn’t de-lid mine, just changed the thermal paste and pads, and it’s working fine, might considered doing it in the future
here’s a video i followed, it shows a bunch of mantainance and restoration stuff https://youtu.be/iuOlxAYLTM0
I just dug my ps3 from the storage and I have not ever opened it. Maybe I should.
Was the previous owner a smoker?
Worse–I think it belonged to a teenager.
So instead of smoke residue it’s probably fapping residue? Not sure which is worse.
Or the owner of 100 cats, who also happen to smoke a pack a day each?
I choose to believe smoking cats.
