What's this about reddit?

Good, glad it wasn't internal.

I bet it's a grounding issue.
Try tapping ground from the RF modulator (or the AV connector). Not all ground points on the motherboard are necessarily the same and that's a classic ground loop problem.

Also, tap +5v from the AV connector or the 1145 (encoder).

This was my mod circuit.

>You know very well I wouldn't get any help there.
Sorry, I didn't know at all. I'm not a normie so I never go on /v/ (or play recent games, with the exception of Minecraft).
I've heard /v/ is shit, but never looked upon it with my own eyes.

It's 100% identical in appearance/pin counts except for the texture of the plastic cover piece and the color of the coils in the carriage's servo.

I'd just consider taking it out of the shell and mounting it on the bottom of a milk crate. Then, attach a box fan to one of the sides of the crate to get some crossflow.
Noisy? Yeah. But some day you could be the owner of one of five working launch PS3's in existance.

Or figure out some way to liquid cool it.
Never owned one, so I can't really say any of this is viable/would work. But such things worked for my Pentium D desktop.

Yeah. Lemme try to remember exactly what I used.

>Wow I'm retarded you are right for like 5 dollars I can get all the parts from console5
I ordered mine on digikey and bought way more than I needed just because I use resistors/caps/transistors a lot. But if console5 has it, great. Those parts should cost less than that, but IDK after factoring shipping. $5 sounds about right if radioshack still existed here and I went to them to buy the parts.
If you're talking about this: https://console5.com/store/cxa1145-simple-s-video-mod-kit.html , then that's rather close to what I did (pic related is what my circuit looked like).
Blue resistor in their product image is the 75Ω resistor, but they use a 33Ω resistor for the other one instead of the 220Ω one I ended up using. I found I got more jailbars with lower values like that 33Ω one, but I was using a different transistor and there could have been any number of other reasons mine behaved a little differently.
