Okay, so here is one of the problems that some people have faced in the past, where they've wanted to update the PS3 firmware via USB. Such as when the PlayStation Network went down for 23 days in 2011, meaning that any firmware updates had to be performed by USB or not at all. Obviously, there were no firmware updates during this time, until after SONY had restored access to the Network for those of us who hadn't been banned in the time they took a vendetta on Custom Firmwares and then decided to blame Anonymous (instead of GeoHotz who opened up the PS3 and they took him to court) for an attack that infact never did happen, which all they really tried to do was prevent the PS3 from becoming an open platform, after removing the Other OS feature from the older (fat) PS3 units. When I flash your PS3, I take the time to make sure the heat sync coordination is working in cooperation with the console itself as it's a major part of the system.

Replacing the thermal paste that has possibly had nine years if a fat PS3, or at least six year for a slim PS3, with Artic Silver thermal compound, so your console will last another five or so years before it needs replacing again. Because you don't want to be using a console that has been flashed which has broken compound as the heat will surely kill your system within a few months to a year. Logitech stereo speakers z120.
