vinitwins Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 ^ wont be of much help - disassembly isnt for the faint-hearted and he has a NTSC-J (singapore) ps3 - parts/spares are generally available for NTSC-U and even then it's not a simple remove and replace process V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bads If the drive itself is not working, i don't think you can install YellowDog Linux on it. The external drive might work under linux but i doubt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarbonCore Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 one more Q .... will external DVD drives work with PS3??? Don't think so, but external hard drives work. So you can use it to view all your Xvid/Divx (support coming soon) movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sam_816 Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 My badsIf the drive itself is not working, i don't think you can install YellowDog Linux on it. The external drive might work under linux but i doubt I have a Seagate 500gb GO, do you think it'll work fine? Can it be used as extended HDD for my PS3(I got my PS3 yesterday only, so no idea yet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
