(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I know fixing a phat is a waste of time, but don't wanna buy another playstation 3.

I'm in the USA, and need the parts to fix it or want someone to fix it for me.

Any idea(s)?

On what to buy, or what to look for?

I wouldnt spend time looking for a new ps3, go to a local electrician, and they will fix it for you, theres always a problem with the wiring, also cleaning the dust.

I'm not in the position to buy another one at the moment.

Thermal paste, and what tool opens this puppy up?

If you know how to change it, do it.. but service isn't worth it mate.. i followed a youtube video and worked fine.. but it's a temp fix with the thermal paste wherever you go



So, i wound't need this just go with the kit?
