  • PlayStation 3 Slim Teardown

    Quote from Schmendrik:

    Now there's a new PlayStation 3 Slim with a 250GB hard drive. I know you've done the 120GB teardown, and found that it has a universal power supply. Does this hold true for the new 250GB? I work for Uncle Sam overseas and want to ensure it'll work if I plug it into the wall as is. Sure, I could use a step-down transformer, which would change the voltage from 220-240v to 110v, but it would do nothing to step-up the 50Hz current coming out of the wall to the 60Hz one in the U.S... and that could spell disaster for anything with a disk drive.

    According to the PlayStation official website: http://playstation.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/...

    All electronics work ONLY in DC and not AC that's what the power suppy is for , to convert AC to DC . DC does not have any frequency , so the input freq of 50 or 60 hz is immaterial
