All off means invalid setting, what you'll find is the actual percentage will drop slowly as you play it until you get to your target of 78%.
I have mine set to 74% then i know it plays like most machines in pubs.

If the main board is an Epoch tech, i would say your boards knackered, try getting hold of a replacement board,(check ebay) change the eproms to it and try it out, epochs are prone to breaking down, also check the battery for leakage, any leaks on the board and it basicly wrecks it!

Hi, I worked out the fault with the GPU on these and have a fix that lasts! I tried the heat gun and thermal paste malarky but would only ever get a week or two before it went again. I looked into re-balling but unless you opted for a new GPU it would only get about 3 months before going again. So ...

The dreaded YLOD!

Got this on my 60gb fat ps3 :(
Has anyone else had it on here and managed to get it fixed? I know theres repair kits on ebay etc and vids how to do it on yt, but has anyone managed to do it ok? I know getting a new ps3 is probably easier, but i don't fancy losing all my game data and other stuff.

As a baggies fan, i'll be sad to see him go. He's done wonders at the albion, from turning us from a yo-yo struggling side to a mid-table force, but i wish him all the best in his new job as england manager.
But who's gonna fill his boots??
