Boured Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 Good luck man! Hope the DVD drives are alive enough for a softmod, unless of course you plan on putting a chip in it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maladin Posted September 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 I think the DVDs may be the issue. I have several working ones here so I should have no issue getting them modded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna be a fun night cleaning and replacing heatsink grease. Wish me luck don;t bother replacing thermal compound, since it's not a paste. Will make no practical benefit. Trust me with this one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maladin Posted September 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 A bit late now as I've already redone the paste. Got one fully working. Number two is working except for a mechanical issue with the DVD drive. looking into that now before I move on to number three Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NRK Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 lucky man ! have fun repairing the other one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maladin Posted September 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 Thanks. Two are working. The third board powers on automatically when you connect power and the power button will not turn it off. Aside from that it will work and play a game so I'm trying to figure out what that issue is.
