    PS3 GUIDE Adding Wi-FI to a B Model Playstation 3

    Great work Matt, and thanks for sharing, I had a go at this myself earlier in the year, looking through your tutorial I had found most of the differences between the A and B boards but I had missed the removal of R3516 and R3517. I’m going g to have another go at this now, thanks again

    PS3 Failed Frankenstein MOD on CECHC04

    No offence taken, but seeing as you didn’t check the 10k resistor after installing it on the other cok-02 board, and it turned out to be faulty, I thought it was worth pointing it out, you never know you may have overlooked it, seeing as you don’t need to remove it on the cok-02 board. Anyway...

    PS3 cechc03 frankenstein RSX 65nm

    Thanks for your reply, I’ll check the resistors on top of the rsx. I will need to delid the rsx first, I installed the it with the IHS still on, hopefully it’s as simple as a loose/missing resistor. I now found the problem, I knocked a resistor off during the install of the 65nm RSX

    PS3 (Research/Experimental) - NEC/TOKIN Capacitors Replacement - YLOD

    Thanks for the info, it’s appreciated. So the way I see it is the best bet is to replace like for like, I do have a few NEC Tokin caps but I don’t like the amount of heat I have to use to get them off and replaced. I could remove them without heat, but it destroys the cap and I can’t test it...

    PS3 (Research/Experimental) - NEC/TOKIN Capacitors Replacement - YLOD

    Thanks RIP-Felix. Maybe it’s because the cap completely fails and the 940 ohms isn’t enough to replace the 1200, i may tag another one or two on just in case that would give me 1880 ohms I had a few console now that have had 1 completely dead token, I’ve removed them all and tested them and...
