It's been about a year since I last purchased refurbished consoles from DKOldies, and they've claimed to have made some changes... so I decided to give them a 2nd chance. I bought an xbox 360, ps3, and ps4 from them, so let's see if they're actually refurbishing them now!

It's been about a year since I purchased refurbished consoles from DKOldies... so I decided to give them a 2nd chance here in 2024 to see if they've improved their process. Check out these 3 consoles I purchased from them and let me know what you think

That PS3 I'm iffy on. It looks like they TRIED and did a decent job, especially since delidding is a huge pain. Better than before for sure but that needed more testing. Old Skool AC adapters are pretty decent in my experience. Still kinda dodgy they didnt include an original AC adapter. But I have one for an X360 Jasper V2 (I have a white and black Jasper), and the V2 uses the AC adapter and I haven't had an issue with it yet, going on a year now. That PS4 being a little dusty makes me think it sat around for a while after they refurbished it, and just dusting it off, before they shipped off. Defo improved. But they need to work on some things. That PS4 is forgivable, but that PS3 needed extensive testing. I would normally suggest CFWing it to boost fan speed but even a PS3 CECHE01 I found at the thrift store before I replaced the paste took on TLOU for an hour on SYSCON settings so I don't know if that PS3 would get much out of a CFW fan boost. You could check the temps and see what's overheating.

For the PS3, they didn't de-lid the Cell which is the usual culprit with this mode of failure. That's the part that's actually difficult. The RSX can be popped off with a bit of heat and a spudger... the Cell needs a steady hand, some specific tools, and heat. Removing the Cell IHS and cleaning the caked paste would fix your problem more than likely.

@Secondarysavage05 5 месяцев назад

One thing I noted with the PS3 is that they only De-lided the RSX GPU, which is great, but the main cause of loud fans is the thermal paste under The Cell processor which they did not change hope they start doing that in the future. As for the system shutting down, if it was over heating the console would tell you In a notification that the system is hot and needs to be shutdown it's very likely that this system has failing NEC Tokin caps causing a YLOD under heavy stress.

@Sulucion6Tone 5 месяцев назад
