Hello again gamers! Your leaders in PS3 repair, Endless Electronics here again to talk to you about a semi-common repair/upgrade for the PS3 that our customers ask for. As well as an upgrade some customers should look into getting and might not understand why. The power supply.
Now the power supply is where all the power for your system comes from. Sounds easy enough right? But this is the thing. With a lot of systems/laptops/etc the power supply is on the outside of the system. With the PS3, the power supply is on the inside. This can cause a TON of heat within the system in itself, thus giving you possible overheating issues.
So okay now that you know why you should possibly upgrade your power supply, to what should you upgrade it to? Well I’ll tell you.
Chances are if you have a PS3, and the power source hasnt been replaced, you have the Sony ZSSR power source model.
You can tell it’s the model by the round holes all around it. This model isnt very reliable and gets EXTREMELY HOT. Which again, can cause really bad overheating issues with your system. Hopefully you havent been having those problems, but if so you might want to get it serviced by us.
Next we have the APS-231
This model has less circle vents than the one above.
Folks think this power source upgrade is a good idea. It runs very cool and will keep your system running like it should. But there is a huge problem, compatibility issues. It doesn’t fit and or work with all PS3 models. So you could try and get this, and it totally not even do what you expected it to do.
Finally we have the APS-226
You can tell which one this is by the square vents all over the unit.
Now this system gives you everything. Its long lasting, it runs cool, and its compatible with all PS3 systems! If you are in need of a PS3 repair of this kind, this is what we use to fix your system!
Hopefully this blog shed more light on power supplies and why they are needed to be repaired in your playstation. If you have any other questions feel free to comment in the blog or reach us at http://www.endlesselectronics.org
