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.

      Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy.

      The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.

      Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
