How common is the ylod on the fat model ps3? My previous slim model ps3 died on me and I've been wanting to try out the backward compatibility of the original models. Is it worth it? It's a 80gb btw.
Sorry for the image, posting on phone.

My ps3 go the YLOD but that reason was completely my fault, i kept flipping the back switch off instead of just pressing the power button, other than that no problmes, that was 7 years ago this one lasted untill the current gen now i just dont play. also remember to play ps2 and ps1 you need the 80gb with 4 usb ports

From what I have seen and how well I treated my PS3, 100%.
I babied the hell out of my launch 60GB console. Cool environment. Plenty of room for ventilation. No long abuse gaming hours. Turned on to adjust settings. Turned off. Forgot to remove Portal 2. Returned to turn it on. YLOD.
I do plan on fixing it someday but goddammit did it have no real reason to die on me.

Does the backwards compatibility at the very least runs as well as the ps2?
>>332007676
It did for me. That is my main purpose of keeping it. The first models had the best backwards compatibility. I never ran into any problems with it.

I don't understand what happened? How did that contribute to a ylod? Were turning it off from the switch while it was running?

IIRC it has to do with the power supply inside the console, and how it is affected by the sudden loss of energy instead of the regular and controlled powering off by using the button

Which one? I've got gen2 (Matte black) and I've basically not turned that thing off since launch and its still working.
I thought the firmware updates removed the BC from the old phats, and you can only get it back with jailbreaking

So you haven't used it and somehow it didn't break? amazing
>>332009849
did you half pressed the on/off button?

reread the post anon
>>332009597
Yes, I know. You should always turn it off from the XMB or by pressing the face button once. You don't flip the switch on the back when it's running because you can fry the power supply with doing it enough times. I thought that was common knowledge so I assumed he meant we was just flipping the switch after it was powered off. After it is powered down normally (red light) I usually flip the switch on the back before I unplug it for no good reason other than being an autist and I'm worried that I will damage it that way because I'm sure the switch on the back could break from getting pressed constantly, usually they last a long time but you never know what grade cheap Chinese plastic switch Sony decided to use.

Nigger are you stupid? Where the fuck did I say I didn't use it? Are you so desperate for attention that you just bullshit everyone?

No its on as in fully on, I'll play a game, when I stopped playing I'd pause the game and just walk away. Outside of a few power outtages and a couple times we left the house completely empty, it was always on running code.

You should never leave running electronic appliances, anon. They can catch a fire when you are not looking. Not trying to be a save the world conserve energy hippy but damn.

As in, it was turned off when there was nobody there.
