USB 3.0 uses a different chip on the board, IIRC. it's possible that routing through that board is making the PS3 not understand.

It's like a WD external I got recently, the 2.5" 1Tb: the board on that goes direct to USB 3.0, so it has something called WD SES that needs to be installed, basically a SCSI interface driver of some sort. Maybe the PS3 doesn't like that at all..?

You could be right. It's a Samsung and it likes to launch Kies every time I hook it in. I don't allow it to but yeah.

So by using a USB 2.0 cable, I'm guessing it bypasses the USB 3.0 functionality... Seeing as the 2.0 cable doesn't plug into the extended section of the port.

getting back to the YLOD fixes, this happened to me last year with my original 60gb phat console and it sat around for 4-5 months before i learned how to fix it.

the re-flow method worked for me but only lasted another 2 weeks, then the 2nd time i fixed it it lasted 2-3 months and i had cranked the heat gun up way hotter that time, the mobo was actually bending under it's own weight but straightened back out as it cooled.

from memory it only lasted a couple days the 3rd time and then didnt work at all after the 4th so i cut my losses there and bought a new slim.

what really shits me is how sony have made it absolutely 100% impossible to back up your data manually by taking the hard drive out to get the data off. the ONLY way to read your save games etc is using the EXACT console that that the hard drive was formatted with.

any other PS3 other will not read your hdd.

you cannot read it using a PC.

the only real way to guarantee your stuff gets backed up is to:

A: regularly back up all your saves to a usb flash drive (my favourite option) or external hdd.

B: get a PSN Plus membership, which lets you back up your saves online so sony holds all your data for you.

thats about the only potentially valuable feature of plus if you ask me. other than that its just a few free themes/avatars (lame) and waste of time really small discounts (5-10%) off SOME dlc items/games. for what it costs.. total waste of money IMO

You seriosuly can't just move the HDD to another PS3? That's harsh and I was annoyed when I found out my brother's original version xbox wouldn't read the USB stick I use on mine. You can just swap the HDDs though.

Yeah I agree. The backup process in the ps3 is of the ghey.

If anything, allow it to be swapped into another ps3 and just have some sort of password security rather than being forced to back up into portable storage and having to format the hdd...

That's the only way to back up to another medium.

A way to use the network is if you have two ps3's and transfer the data from one to the other. This then deletes everything off the original ps3. And it's also the only method where EVERYTHING copies over.

I installed everything into my new ps3 from the back up and all of my demos and games stored on it are no longer there. Videos n music remains though.

Yeah thought as much. I suppose it would take away from the ps plus feature of saves being backed up automatically if you could do similar for free.

Demos and games aren't really an issue as you can just re download them, albeit a waste Internet usage. But it would suck to loose all my saves.

      I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.

      From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.

      They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
