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

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...

I know you’ve said you carried out the10k resistor mod, but you didn’t say you have removed resistor R2001?

Hi, I have a few blu-ray drives from CECHC-03 consoles that when first turning on the console, the led flashes blue and the drive starts to except a disc or it sounds like it is, even though there isn’t one to except, after that it works as it should, takes discs plays them and ejects them. Has...

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

I've just carried our my first Frankenstein attempt, it all seemed to go well. I've installed a 65nm RSX I've carried out the resister mod I've amended the syscon I haven't carried out the voltage mod yet Turning on the console gives me GLOD, no controller detection, but it will charge...

I wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction. I have a CECH-04 That has been working great until yesterday when it just suddenly turned off and bleeped 3 times with a flashing red light. I’ve had a look and found the PS6001 link Ic has blown, I’ve replaced it and its blew again...

This has just worked for me, I loaded the patch via http then applied the loaded patch and all done, thank you NiQ

Here's another one, I think this one fits better.

I found it here https://www.psx-place.com/threads/does-anyone-have-one-of-those-plastic-tabs-that-sony-used-on-the-cpus-of-refurbished-consoles.38469/

I’ve manage to sort this now, thanks

Would anyone with a 3D print file for a cell brace be so kind as to share it with me or the forum so I can 3D them for my consoles to help bring the cell temp down please? All in the spirit of our community

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...

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...

Now that I can post links, here’s the photo of the capacitors fitted on the cell side, there’s also enough room to fit 2 more on the other Nec Tokin
