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.
bird ( @bird@beehaw.org ) 13•1 year agoWas the previous owner a smoker?
Worse–I think it belonged to a teenager.
CmdrShepard ( @CmdrShepard@lemmy.one ) 3•1 year agoSo instead of smoke residue it’s probably fapping residue? Not sure which is worse.
g0nz0li0 ( @g0nz0li0@beehaw.org ) English11•1 year agoOr the owner of 100 cats, who also happen to smoke a pack a day each?
bird ( @bird@beehaw.org ) English14•1 year agoI choose to believe smoking cats.

Rho ( @freakrho@programming.dev ) English13•1 year agoi 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
Thank you! I hadn’t thought about the pads; I’ll be sure to do those too.

𝒍𝒆𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒏 ( @lemann@lemmy.one ) English1•1 year agoDust puppy 😂 first time I’ve heard that phrase
jay ( @lunarshot@beehaw.org ) English1•1 year agoThis is always the #1 concern.
OmegaMouse ( @OmegaMouse@feddit.uk ) 6•1 year agoWow! I mean, if it works okay and you’re happy to clean it then $40 is good.
I remember the inside of my PS4 being a bit of dust trap. The fan was much quieter after I gave it a good clean - but it was never as bad as your photo :o
WagnasT ( @WagnasT@iusearchlinux.fyi ) 6•1 year agoImages you can…smell? I have fine dust on my fingers now, thanks a lot.
binboupan ( @binboupan@lemmy.kagura.eu ) 5•1 year agoI guess the old owner was a smoker? Instead of delidding you might want to try the eraser mod instead.
T4V0 ( @T4V0@lemmy.pt ) 4•1 year agoMaybe an electric air duster might help…
resurrect ( @resurrect@sopuli.xyz ) 3•1 year agoI just dug my ps3 from the storage and I have not ever opened it. Maybe I should.
