More untested video games from Goodwill! This time I purchased a PS3 bundle that included a PS3 slim, a couple PS3 controllers, some games, and a headset! As always, since everything came untested from Goodwill, there will probably be some fixing and/or clean up to do. So let's do it!

Ever purchased a console from Goodwill? In my experience, it’s very hit or miss. Check out my free gaming newsletter: www.jrobgaming.com

@broncosforlife1 Год назад

I’ve had very good luck purchasing consoles labeled as “for parts” as they typically say what’s wrong with them. I order PS3’s with bad disk drives, missing hard drives, or bad HDMI ports. Never ordered any consoles labeled as fully working so can not attest to that

@cdyjkr Год назад

I got really lucky once when I bought a whole box of random consoles bundled together for 100 bucks. 2 Gamecubes, 2 PSXs, 2 original XBOXs, a phat PS2 and a white slim PS2. They all worked and came with controllers and memory cards. Both XBOXs were modded which was interesting to see.

Last year I found a brand new package of ram for a computer... It was brand new in the box. 32GB of Corsair Vengeance RGB 3200mhz DDR4 ram. At the time brand new that was like $180-200. It was actually the perfect upgrade for my computer as I only had 16gb. It cost me $5.99. I also found a like new Wii that day too, plus 2 Wiimotes and a Wii zapper. Quite the find that day.

@DankerTVTimeCapsule Год назад

Pressure also helps with the controller ribbon cable so, you putting a new sponge layer would definitely help it long term. Also both are wrong with thermal past application. You spread it in advance making sure no silver of the chip shows through. You also apply a layer on the heat sink pad too so you know coverage has been achieved. then pressure connects both together.

@renegadeclown8748 9 месяцев назад

Please note that using too much thermal paste is not a great idea. While using a small tip paint brush, you can spread a thin layer of paste evenly across the surface of the cpu and gpu. And then a very small bead of additional paste can be applied to the center of the chips/chips and that is usually a no fail application.... Also being sure that no bristles come off the brush, which is usually not a problem with a new brush, as paint brushes withstand thick paints as well as paint thinner and multiple strokes before deteriorating. Just my method 😊

@eathenalexander2836 Год назад

Nice vid. For the controllers, most manufacturers uses alps joysticks. And they’re very cheap. If you wanna desolder them for new ones. It’ll be a genuine part.

@omegamark4155 Год назад

Instead of an X with thermal paste, try a "snowflake" with extra small lines going between the "X" arms. I still like the old method of thinly coating the whole chip, though. Never had problems with trapped air bubbles. The trick is to use a very thin coat of thermal paste. A small air bubble is still better than no thermal paste in the area anyway.

@Gatorade69 Год назад

Yeah I would always spread it thin, there's some tricks to doing it nicely. Never had any problems. I think that's the method Gamers Nexus (PC buikding channel) uses when they test heatsinks.

@lobesmcgee Год назад

Soapy and warm water for me when cleaning the plastic console shell.

@vdochev 3 месяца назад

Those IHSs are huge, so you just need to put more thermal paste on than you usually do to cover the whole IHS. The method doesn't matter as long as you have a proper amount of thermal compound and good coverage. If the temperatures look good at the end, should be OK.

@andrewscotti1136 Год назад

i always use the x method just shy of corner to corner. everytime i have later disassembled its 100% coverage and not spilling out the sides either.

@TheViper4Life Год назад

So I can never seem to get an answer elsewhere (such as Reddit), so I'll ask here. I have a PS3 Slim that got YLOD back in 2014, I ended up just buying a Super Slim after that (then soon after that got a PS4), as at the time, I didn't really know what to do. It wasn't until a few years later I realized WHY it got YLOD, and it's because I tore down the whole PS3 to clean it and I separated the heat sink from the thermal paste. Well a few weeks ago I finally got around to buying some Thermal Paste in an attempt to fix it....but it didn't work. I even applied the paste twice just in case I messed it up the first time (didn't look like I did). So it's doing what it did back in 2014...red light comes on, when I click power it turns green for a couple seconds, then turns yellow, then back to red and beeps 3 times. Nothing else seems to be wrong with it though, power supply is fine, none of the capacitors are swollen, the motherboard looks in great shape...but still YLOD. Any idea what might be the issue? I'd love to bring it back to life.

@NappaDZ 9 месяцев назад

Some people say that if the hard drive fails it can get the ylod but IDK how true that is.

@TheViper4Life 9 месяцев назад

@@NappaDZ HDD was fine. I had it upgraded to 1TB, which I later put in my Super Slim that still uses it today. Only other thing I can think of is there has to be some kind of damage done to the pins of the CPU or something...or it's been dead for so long that I waited too long to bring it back? I don't know.

If you already own a PS5, assuming u also have a controller you can use the controller instead of a PS3 controller. There’s only one flaw and it’s the home button not being functional but everything else from no stick drift or random button inputs are what make it a better option than buying a ps3 controller. Btw use your charger on ur ps5 controller to connect to the PS3 so you can activate it. You can just Bluetooth it to the ps3 afterwards so you can play far away and shii

You're console flippers, you don't "refurbish" nor do you actually fix anything I have seen. You do maintenance, and y'all def script more then you let on. It's also a bit weird that you check out peoples info if you find it. I am not attacking y'all, there's nothing wrong with moving bulk, or buying bulk doing maintenance and single selling the best units. There's no need to front......¯\_(ツ)_/¯
