Episode Date: July 18, 2025

Good Stretch of Cooler Weekend Weather here on the East Coast. I Learned something New about being 2 PS3 PHAT COK-001 Motherboards. The B Model has No Cartridge Slot Connection as opposed to the A Model.🧩 COK-001-22 → Most common in CECHB modelsFrom teardown and repair data:COK-001-22 is often found in CECHB units.It does not have the cartridge slot (card reader) connector populated.Even though the board layout has the footprint for a card reader, the hardware is not installed (missing components and connector).🔍 Other Revisions:RevisionFound InCard Reader Present?NotesCOK-001-22CECHB (20GB)❌ NoCommon "B" boardCOK-001-23CECHA (60GB)✅ YesUsed in launch models with card readerCOK-001-31/32Late CECHA✅ YesLater 60GB units, possibly more refined🧠 Summary:If your PS3 "B" (CECHB) has no cartridge/card reader slot, it most likely uses the:🔹 COK-001-22 motherboard revisionWould you like help identifying the exact revision from a photo of your board?

Good morning everyone. It is now 727. We are on Friday so going to the weekend. Today is July the 18th 2025 and today we finally have a little bit cooler humidity. I think we were going down to the in the 50s for the humidity which is way up in the 70s. I think it's as high as 78 humidity, which is pretty much as bad as it can get around here on Rhode Island. So yesterday we didn't really do much. I had to finish all my trees that were on the ground, all the brush. I cleaned all that up and burnt the dump, so that took for a little bit.

I did that really early before it got really hot and then the rest of the day couldn't be outside I mean I could but I just stayed inside did stuff. But what I'm working on right now is a gaming Blitz from my eBay. I just blasted out every Wii that I have Just putting them as acceptable untestedested as is, and I'm trying to put them in little bundles here and there. Even the ones without the games, I'm putting the artwork into bundles and selling them that way without the case.

I found a few more Wiis at the end of the day, and then now I'm going to go to all Xbox. I got lots of Xbox stuff I did I started doing some Xbox just we're talking original Xbox oh one through oh five so I got a lot of sports ones but we're gonna skip those for now but I got other ones that may be worth same deal we'll put them in little piles that are kind of related to the kind of games they are and then just sell them for you know whatever I can sell for There's a I think I have 30% discount going on at my store

And of course, I've got best offers so but I'm not gonna like give them away So so we keep it we're gonna keep on the game blitz. So I'm gonna do all my Xboxes which will probably take another day or so and Then we're going to do PS 3 I got some games there PS2 is the only games I've never really played or know anything about so I there's a few that might be alright to sell then we'll eventually go on the PS2 I got like tons of I got tubs full of bins full of PS2 games but they just

don't seem as popular but also eventually we'll get on to them too we're just gonna have a mass amount of older games again or just accept everything's acceptable some in the case some are just I'm just working on the ones with the cases for the Xbox we I did either or cases one without cases out cases. Only sold a couple, a bit of bundles, but sold a few. All the good stuff. We seemed to be the most popular for the games we sell. So work on that.

So that's what I pretty much did all the yesterday. So, oh, I looked at a little, a desktop that I came in, Lenovo H4, 430 or something like that came out or is 3 4 430 I think it was yeah, so that's what I came in so we looked at that for a little bit It's got a little i3 in it second again seems to work. Otherwise just needs a hard drive So that's pretty cool 4 gigabytes of RAM Windows 7 ish kind of thing. So

Cool. Oh and I watched the the second episode of original Stranger things really into it now. I'm really excited. Going from the beginning, I'm gonna watch all of them until the new one comes out. And I never finished the Stranger Things 4 season, which was epic. Like, imagine this season five is in, he's got over 600, 650 hours of Stranger Things 5.

Took him over a year to make the PS5, Stranger Things 5, so it'll be interesting to see how it's all going to play out. It's going to be broken down into all kinds of episodes and stuff, so that's pretty cool, pretty exciting. Alright, so it's amazing that all that staff stayed together, all the characters, every single one of them, so that's pretty awesome too. That makes it even more fun fun watching them grow from the little guys i'm watching now until the big guys towards the end here all right so let's see what's going on in the news another month and we can start talking about football real excited about our

patriots i think we might actually have a uh a better team this year i don't know what last year was like a train camp team or something. I don't know what was going on last year. Hopefully now we'll be somewhere. Eldering. Let's see. So I like to go on to PS5 and go into collect to the store and then I go over the collections and I scroll down to wishlist and you can just see games that are coming up within the next year. Some of them look really cool.

Somebody's saying I got a comment that PS6 will be out 2027 or 2028. I don't think it's gonna be that long. I don't think there's gonna be another PS5 I think this generation is over But we'll see But imagine what the games would be like then pretty awesome All right, so I'm at Etsy here now checking. I had a couple orders But it's been quiet now since I

sold one thing. Let's look at, yeah, Strange Things 5, the new trailer is out. Pretty cool. Okay, so let's look at Parshmark. This is my new social media site. Social media with a little bit of listings. Basically, it seems to be. I do have clothes, but not really.

I actually people sell on the Poshmark. 1,063 followers here on Poshmark. And just I have a link to my YouTube. But that's about it really, going on it. And just I'll have a link to my YouTube But that's about it really going on and again, I had one or for once that's it Simply that's all that's gonna be but we'll never know good change in a minute Alright, so let's go to RSSV. Oh Yesterday I was doing my, started to see a lot of things

about the live action Zelda game, I mean, Zelda movie. They picked the actors. So I had a montage of the only games where Link actually speaks in them. So I reposted those, put them on this link. Yesterday, my podcast, see see the hair link it was really silly stuff it's not even from Nintendo it was from Magnavox CDI games those games are really hard to find real expensive I've got a

bootleg of the three or four main games oh so we had a few downloads yesterday at four. Pretty awesome. 69 in the last 30 days. 709 all the time. Let's see what we had yesterday. Apex, Ashburn, always there. And Stanford. Three there, so that's pretty cool. All in the United States, yeah. Yeah, that's it is.

Let's see if we got anybody else. No, just those. Pretty cool. Oh, very consistent. I'm very consistent. I'm doing something each morning. Because there's always something going on. So let's go to YouTube. I did re-promote that montage because it's really funny.

Only because I've seen a lot of, and then I was adding the comments and subscribing to new YouTubers that were talking about the live action Zelda and put my little thing on there too. So I'm trying to mirror back into my to my place if I can. My montage. I did another post every morning now I got a new post today but yesterday's post was in all the Zelda games ever made how many times was she the main character. So in that montage that I showed you, she's the main character in the last game. So it's at least one. I don't think she was the main

character, I mean that she, I don't know if there's any after that. But there's at least one, so zero is wrong, so it's at least one What zero but so if you watch the montage? for a minute one, you'll see the First game is Mario and the next two are different link games And the last one is a Zelda game where she is the character that goes around. She's trying to find link Hey 239 views We're at fifty one thousand3 subscribers. My revenue is $32.14. My views are 163.3k. Watch hours are 737. So, what is electronics playing around almost so my flash 15 seconds that I do often every day I break my videos down to quick three minutes or flash 15 seconds

It gets me a lot of a lot of views so we're closing in almost two million views pretty exciting doesn't really accumulate any sort of revenue like get a penny penny for every view that'd be really awesome. Then we'd be doing something. Then this would be my second place to make a little income, but as of now, no. I spend more on YouTube than I make. Yeah, I'm probably well over $100. Alright, let's see what

happened ebay did a lot of stuff yesterday i really expect too much but we'll see oh maybe got some things going on so yeah so we're doing all kinds of new things ebay i'm trying to get it up my goal for ebay is to get to 2 000 items i'm really ratcheting it up and but I'm doing it quick. So I do more quick listings than I used to do, but just to get it up. And they're all games. I'm just going to keep doing a mass amount of games as I'm doing them. Let's see if we had some messages here. I have one return from Buddy. I'll probably take that account of $40 now. We didn't want that. I wasn't doing that. I'll probably take this though. $30. All those. I'll just get

rid of those. Yeah, so we're going to get rid of those. So those are some games that don't work. I think I see an issue coming up too. We'll take that off just to get that. I've had that forever. Everyone chew. Trying to avoid this model that is missing ending. COK. I'm sorry. All right so this is in regard to, no it's not an issue, the CO, PS3 fat, but the backwards compatible.

COK-01. Hi, sorry. What I was referring to is seeing if you had one that was the A on board. The B on board doesn't have the connector. Oh, the connector. Oh, okay, now I see, okay. Okay.

Now I understand. So there is a C-OK. See, I just learned something new that I didn't know. Now I understand that there are two different C OK dash O one. One that B is does not. I didn't realize that. That connection. I didn't realize that. That connection. I will have to detail my listings now down to A or B separate because of this difference. This difference.

Oh, yeah, that's what it is. So that makes sense because the, if you know the backwards compatible, A and E, although A is C okay dash 001, true backwards compatible. E is C okay dash 002, that's not true backwards compatible. It doesn't have the EE chip. However, each one of those does have that cartridge slot. And that front door opens up in the front cover.

The B is true backwards compatible. But that door does not open. And there is no cartridge slot. So that makes it another difference. See that's the things they get me. Just want to think I have it all down. Oh okay. Oh the card reader cap.

Okay. I will end this listing and redo and make two. Make two if I have any B models. It says the two big chips warm up and there's no display. I test the 8-core and it seems like it's shorted out. It says I pulled that fully working when shipped not any issues at all

from a complete system the only time I sell one of these boards, I get an issue. I will not sell anymore. I sell one. when it comes back for inspection. It should have fully worked. fully worked. Never contacted me about an issue or even ask for a replacement. I pulled that fully working when I shipped. Not any issues at all from a complete system. The only time I sell one of these boards I get an issue. I will not sell it anymore.

Refining my records back for inspection. Alright, $30 for Raymond. All I want to do... No, I'm not going to do that. That one I'm not going to do. I'm going to hold off on that. It's a GameCube one, so I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to do that. Did have one half off, that's good enough for today.

Meaning I call them half-hackers? I did have one half off, that's good enough for today. Meaning I call them half hackers or one hit wonders. That's my two. Most of the half hackers are one hit wonders. So what a half hacker is, if I have $60 and I already have a 30% discount, then they're going to half hack it down to $30 and Of course, I'm going to decline it. I took one other one that was not quite half but and then I call it one-hit wonder because they'll never they usually never

Do another offer so therefore a half hacker one-hit wonder is done and So that way I they know right away. Obviously lots of things happen overnight so I don't get time. I need this fast as possible. I've adjusted the POG. Oh god, that sounds like a nightmare way to happen right there. Oh my goodness. Let's read the buyer's notes.

So I'm looking at the orders I have now. I have three orders and one's got a big message to it. Which is usually a nightmare. Alright, so first thing is the PS3. That we were talking about, backwards compatible. The little screw and clamp for the top slider. So one of those. Alright, the second one is for my spindle

for the GameCube. It says, buyer note I need this as fast as possible please and that's in caps. I've adjusted and tested my PLG spindle off balance. The spindle is off balance and has broken tab that holds it. I'm understanding the disc is not reading because it's too far away from the lens. I have a DOL-001. It's got to be as fast as possible. It's a Nintendo GameCube. And then the last thing is the Xbox 360, my best heatsink set.

I've got more of those now, so we'll do that. So that's pretty cool. I've got a few things. I had no real bites on any of my games I listed yesterday, except for the half hacker I'm not taking it's game cube games I want more for game cube games like the Wii games Alright, so we'll get that on its way. Alright, so we put a little money in the account. What we're doing this for, I got a few money there. Yeah, I sold that one other thing too. And what is it? It's a Nintendo game, boy games? Color games?

That don't work. I hadn't listed for a long for a long time so Decided that yeah, it's time to let him go for About what they were what they were selling for I mean people were offering I'll hold off sometimes for a while and then after a while. I'm just like yeah Just not gonna sell anymore. I always try to get as much I can get of course Just say if it's a bundle lock Okay all right, so I always try to get as much as I can get, of course. Just see if it's a bundle lot. Okay.

All right. So let's go from there. All right. So that should be it for this morning, everyone. All right. So you guys have a good afternoon going into the weekend. I'll talk to you tomorrow on Saturday. I'll let you know what's going on.

It's going to be a little bit cooler. Everyone that's going to the beach is going to have a nice weekend. I'll talk to you tomorrow and Saturday let you know what's going on. It's gonna be a little bit cooler. Everyone that's going to the beach is gonna have a nice weekend. Sunday is gonna be muggy again but besides that we're doing pretty good. Alright have a great day.
