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.

      Drilled the rubber out on a slow speed and it didn't catch much at all. Probably only half a dozen holes was enough to shred the rubber and it dropped off easily leaving the inner sleeve behind. Will tackle that later

      I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
