I bought a controller from a guy who insisted the controller is 100% original. I mean, it was a pretty genuine looking controller. So I bought it and the analogs were funky. Then I decided to open the shell and saw this abomination. Thankfully, I was able to return it and get my money back. Still, it was the best fake controller I've ever seen. Buttons were responsive, the only problem was the analogs.

Tekken 6 was released in North America 17 years ago
I purposely bought a broken Dualshock 3 CECHZC2U A2 because this revision are the easiest model to swap the analog modules. I wanted to experiment which modern analog sticks are compatible with the 3pin layout DS3.
I tested PS3/PS4 Hall Effect modules from AliExpress, (I did not include pictures of them because I couldn't get them to work with calibration). The controller recognized the Hall Effects but my experience I couldn't get a good calibration.
I installed 1 PS5 TMR module (also didn't include in the photos), the controller understood there's a Analog installed but the readings were going all over the place. Its mostly due to being meant for a PS5 controller, had some laying around when I soldered TMR sticks for my ps5 controllers.
Lastly I tried GinFull's PS4 TMR sticks, a pack that I had left overs when I soldered TMR's for my DS4's which are the transparent black & orange that you're seeing in the photos. To my surprise these are compatible & calibrated very good. Tested the controller post calibration by playing variety of shooters: COD, Killzone, Army of Two, and the sticks are smooth.
if interested installing these yourself here's the Amazon link: https://a.co/d/0bJOsbGp

TL;DR: Delided my PS3, was super nervous, ended up being easier (?) than I thought it would be, got nice temps.
About 2, maybe 3 months ago I got a heart attack because my PS3 was overheating and turning into a PS4 Pro (Jet engine), supposedly the MX4 i had put on my PS3 had turned to stone, which meant it was overheating, and only after about a year of use, and not even that often, so it would probably equal less than a month total in time played.
I had bought the delid tool and Thermal Grizzly Phase Sheets(like PTM7950) intending to use them at some point in the future, which I didn't expect to be then.
I was extremely nervous throughout the entire process, even just opening the PS3 was nerve-wracking for some reason.
So I opened it, removed the motherboard, placed it on my table. Time to take the heat shield off, it's not coming off.... twist, turn, do a loop the loop. Can't get it off.
After a lot of struggle and nerve destruction on my part I managed to get it off, the MX4 is fine... (WHY ARE YOU OVERHEATING THEN?!?!???!?), whatever...
Cleaned it all up, prepared the tool, bent the knife tip thing to 90 degrees.
And man was that the most stressful 60-90 seconds of my ife, twice.
I thought it would be harder to do, but also I was probably way more careful than I would've been, had I not been this nervous.
The thermal paste inside wasn't dust but it wasn't damp(?) either, so i put the phase sheets , put the heat spreader back on and closed it up and as you can see, 50C on both, on idle. I used phase sheets on both the inside and on top of the heat spreader.
And even while playing the tempts don't go over ~67C. (If i remember correctly as my memory is bad :d)
So... like, do it if you need to, but get the tool. It's a MASSIVE help and makes it way easy.

I just beat the game again for the 2nd time and went the whole game without selling anything?
So im confused, does Canada money exchange count as selling? If so thats kinda dumb.

Hi is there anyone who would like to play minecraft and cod mw3 with me
My psn is ilovetafe42di
This ps3 controller i bought is giving me a allergic reaction via its smell and I was dissambeling to clean it and I think i may have broken the triggers. I was wondrijg if I could just use these insides and put them in another shell, the shell of my dead controller. Would that work or be safe and fine? Thanks

Ok so as title suggests, what next?
Fans on dynamic, rsx overclocked amd works real well games dont have many slow downs anymore, console stays around 65c but fans seem to get to around 40 ish % so may need to delid as it already has new paste on the heat spreader.
Really want to dump games onto an external hdd so i can give some of my mates games back like demons souls and ratchet and clank trilogy.
What is needed, like just the bare essentials for me to back my games up to my external hdd and then be able to play them off hdd?
People are saying webman, multiman, irisman, and prepiso, its all so confusing as some places say one thing and others say another, then ai pops its head into every fkn search ans says a different thing every search so fk that guy am i right.

I’m glad I finally tear down this beast and replace the thermal paste next time I will remove the Ihs plates and replace the paste under it too but it’s much quieter than before so I’m happy and sorry I know it’s not the best picture but happy ps3 day guys.
