Cooling question..

[crazygamelover]

I did run back through the pics link Hull Chipper posted for us. I did not see anything in those pics that stood out as the voltage regulator but I know it does either have one or something simular somewhere. Those pics are informatived but not detailed enough to identify what might have caused your problem. Sony could have built it into the power supply for all we know at this point. I'm sure once members gradually start getting theirs here, we will start learning alot more. Hehehehe This might just be our first mod to be performed.

My console fan is silent as well. It does seem to get pretty hot but it has yet to freeze or crash. I've played 3 to 4 hrs straight before, so far no problems.

Yikes! Quick Warlock, Knock on Wood!!!

Seriously, you may want to monitor the heat close until you feel comfortable with it maintaining stabilty. That would suk if it turns into another heat victim. (We dont wish that on anyone.) Just might be one of the first mods required. I dont like it when things get TOO hot. Cool is good!
Electronically speaking ofcourse.

The $$$ of those things are outrageous right now. I am putting off getting one til some more good game titles come out. By then. maybe the system price will drop a bit. Hopefully...

Haha yes knock on wood.. Maybe by tomorrow i'll have a photocopy of the receipt.. I had just changed the resolution in the settings menu to hi-def.. i think 1080i.. and it looked like it worked fine it was beautiful.. the game though RFOM didn't support it so it reverted back to 720.. and it was shortly after that ingame that I received a little debug window with a bunch of hex values.. and then after that I couldn't get the thing started.. anyway a little more info..

Update guys... Sony amazed me this morning.. I managed to get the receipt and send out the console on Wednesday.. and today 10am a new one arrived.. That is service. The customer service lady said it'd take at least 2 weeks.. I guess they must be working overtime.. I'll hook it up tonight and see if hangs on.

Man, That is fast Hope it works correctly this time
