BREAKING NEWS: Chammy's PS3 suffers coma yesterday evening, in critical condition
Options
OG 80GB PS3, 5 years and 3 months old. Thang had a stroke while revisiting Dark Souls last night. Never happened before and thought it must've just overheated (even though it wasn't that hot at all). Switched it back on and did the same thing in after about 2 mins. Now the ? won't turn back on at all.
I'm gonna do surgery tomorrow night when my Stop & Shop ? gets me a heat gun from her job. Gonna open that baby up and do the "reflowing" technique to re-establish the connections to the motherboard as well as cleaning a lot of the dust bunnies out of it. I'm pretty sure that's been hurting it. What I'm most concerned about is getting the disc out and deactivating the account. All my important game saves besides a few hours of L.A. Noire and GTA IV are in online storage. Other than that... I think I'll be able to come to terms with pulling the plug.
WISH A THUG LUCK!

If you get it working, now would be a good time to do a back up. Hope you been using Cloud storage.

What sucks is I called Sony just a few months ago to manually de-activate all other systems from my account..and they said that ? can only be done once. So hopefully I get it working to at least de-activate this joint. -

You don't have to put the game in to upload it to online storage. Just go to each game save -> copy -> online storage.
And before yours gets got, I'd do what I'm doing (the reflowing process). If I would've done research before I probably would've done it sooner. That, and maybe installing a 19-blade fan to keep ? cooler. The OG PS3 fans seem to re-circulate and retain a bit of heat. -

Don't lie. Flat screens havn't reached your island yet.
Of course they have. Here's mine:
-
Operating table pics...
All the tools necessary, plus some nice music to set the mood. I'm goin in!!! -
I feel a slight nervousness ahead of the surgical procedure.
Have you consulted a specialist in the field?
Is there a plan b in case of surprise circumstances that could occur during surgery?
Please keep the people informed of the well being of the patient.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during these.....trying and soul wrenching times. -
Did she make it?
