PS3 Early Model - Maintained and Fully Functional

Thank you for viewing. We kindly ask you to read our profile.

The earliest models (CECHA00, CECHB00) were packed with such high functionality that they were said to incur a 30,000 yen loss with each sale. These high-performance units can play PlayStation 1, 2, and 3 games, as well as Blu-ray, DVD, CD, and SACD discs.

[Capacitor Replacement]

Approximately 70% of YLOD failures (according to our research) are caused by insufficient capacity due to degraded capacitors. We have replaced one capacitor on the CPU (Cell) side and two on the GPU (RSX) side.

We use the same type of capacitors found in the slim PS3 models (CECH4000~).

[Die Delidding]

The heat spreader has been removed to directly access the CPU (Cell) and GPU (RSX) for thermal paste reapplication. This suppresses solder cracks caused by heat, another major factor in YLOD, and results in quieter fan operation.

While you can find videos online, both of these procedures are quite difficult and time-consuming. However, the results are comparable to a new unit, and you will rarely find other listings that have undergone such extensive work.

Naturally, we have also thoroughly cleaned the motherboard, the inside of the drive, and the fan blades.
We use thermal grease with a conductivity of 11.7W/m-K.

Model Number: CECHB00
Firmware: 4.92
Manufactured in: China
HDD: 20GB → 500GB

SIXAXIS Controller

While only the earliest models (CECHA00, CECHB00) can play PS2 games, some titles may not be compatible.

*
Due to the specifications of the early models, game startup rates may be lower when the console is placed vertically. There are no issues when placed horizontally.

With the included accessories, you can start playing right away.
We have replaced the standard AV cable with a high-quality HDMI cable and upgraded the HDD to a large-capacity 500GB drive.

We have minimized the risk of malfunction.
However, please understand that this is an old unit, approximately 19 years old, before making your purchase.
