Which model is it? The later Phat models are 65nm chips and run cooler (though still fairly warm). Mine is six years old now, and the only issue I had was that the Fujitsu hard drive started to die in 2012. Replaced it with a nice 500GB WD unit and moved on.

Getting the firmware back on them can be a pain, make sure the flash drive is formatted properly and you follow the instructions.

Thanks, it's a CECHG01, 40GB.

I downloaded the firmware from here https://support.us.playstation.com and put the file on a flash drive in a PS3/UPDATE folder.

Anything else I need to know?
