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.
Like, regular tobacco smoke does that, or weed?
It’s weird because I don’t smell either tobacco or weed, and I feel like it would reek if that were the case.
I’m not going to delid it because I’ve never done that before and am not going to try for the first time on a valuable (to me) old console. But apparently it’s pretty popular to do it to PS3’s.
