@Iop4everdudes out of interest, which firmware version were you using to launch the game?

ahh nice the forum is back online! :love heart: @Fallen777 I am afraid I dont get such model (super slim) because they dont have the processor I am looking for, hence not a single board on my "scrap yard" Cheers M.

TL;DR: I put a 90nm RSX into a CECH-2003 Slim - DYN-001 motherboard. It obviously works ... but don’t do this Alright, sharing a mildly cursed mad scientist experiment I finally decided to document share this one. The "crazyness" Reverse-Frankie: installing a 90nm RSX into a Slim...

@Shin_Amon1991 I believe A0805FFF is not a clear cut problem with the console NOR. It can be (on my experience) related to BGA on the CELL and maybe some other issues. I quickly found at least one reference in our forum about this...

@Erim, Just to confirm with you: is the Bluray drive plugged in when you attempt the update/firmware installation? Another point, a small USB drive is "prefered" (I had issues trying to use bigger size ones, nowadays I have some old ones 8GB and 16GB formated as FAT32 that works on all the...

@GiGaMe Althought the 2124 can be related to the HDMI encoder and 2022 with the MultiAV chip, I guess in this ocassion the 1002 is more like to indicate the fault here: the NEC Tokins on the VDD of the RSX - the reason for my "guess diagnostic" is the lag you mentioned above. Although...

@iVirtualZero unless a component that is no longer avaible is damaged, I guess everything is repairable :chuncky: (wellllllll damaged layers in a multilayer motherboard is a diferent discusstion though :bipolar:). But on all seriousness, making some basic messurements when the board is powered...

Hey all I just would like to contribute with some SSD I've been using and installing on many consoles I've "revived". I have installed without issues (so far! and fingers crossed): Integral V Series S 240GB SSD - 8 (eight) installed MSI SPATIUM 480GB SSD - 5 (five) installed Integral V...

Thanks @Matt Crosby , this is great!

Q6009 (on the schematics) is a UMH2NTN from Rohm. From the datasheet, it is a NPN+NPN Dual Digital Transistor (Bias Resistor Built-in Transistor). I am not sure about the packaging size ( 3 sizes available - SOT-563 , SOT-363 and SOT-457 - I believe you can check on the board the exact things...

I don't believe Q6200 would be responsible to power on the BD drive (it is for the 1.2V VDDR). Q6009 is just another "FET like" transistor (edited: they are not FET, they are two NPN transistors) in a chip (IC) package - it is located very close to Q6010: I think you are well clued up...

I had a quick look on the full diagram and assuming there is no power at all on the drive, the initial checks would be the power rails for sure; from the diagram, the connector that provides power to the Blu-ray is CN3209. It supplies 12V and 5V: Those direct voltages come from Q6010...

Ahh ok, thanks for clarifying that the drive is indeed married back with the current board. In that case, indeed a more in dept troubleshooting is needed - some of other members with huge experience repairing these boards can deffinetively suggest somethings to check prior you send it to...

Hi there @iVirtualZero Great re-work you did on the board. Those components on the link are are in the Bluray drive board (I believe people refer that as a "daughter board"), for instance , see on the wiki for one of the boards...
