Playstation 3 Hard Drive Upgrade

BACK UP your old PlayStation 3 first if you're transferring a hard drive. NOTES: - Upon the first start up after upgrading, you may get a message stating "the system software cannot be run properly". What to do: Get a USB stick or flash card, create a folder and name it PS3. Within that folder, create another and name it UPDATE. Then, go to the Playstation website, download the most recent update, copy it to the memory device, pop it in your PS3 and then press and hold the START and SELECT buttons on the controller. From there on it's pretty straight forward. - This is a recent 80GB model. Older models have smaller screws on the hard drive case. You will be required to use a very tiny cross-head screw driver and BE CAREFUL. Those screws are EASY to strip. My quick demonstration of how to upgrade your PS3. There already is a very similar video on my page on how to do this but this is very simple, quick and helpful "remake". I recently got a 500GB HDD for my other PS3 and decided to make another video.

Acer One blow awning upgrade

I used a webcam to take pictures every 3 seconds as I installed a touch screen kit into my Acer One. On replay the pictures are playing back at 29.9fps. In other words, I compressed just under 4 hours worth of work into 2 minutes for your viewing pleasure. The kit works fine, although I had to modify some aesthetic bits on the hinge to make the wires fit. In general the instructions were good, although they left out some key parts. My Acer warranty is thoroughly trashed, although after dealing with Acer's RMA system once, I could tell Acer some good places to shove its warranty. The laptop came with a noisy fan and a dead USB port. I sent it back to Acer (on my dollar) and about 2 weeks later I got it back. Although the fan and usb ports were fixed, they downgraded my hard drive, blanked my operating system, and swapped a good piece of ram for a dead one. Yeah, they can shove it. If you want any more information on the touch screen kit, the installation process, or any tips about the inside of an Acer One, please PM me or something.
