Alright, my banana plug/alligator clip connectors came in earlier today. I've got the banana plugs in the PSU, the clips on the leads on the board, and the lead from the PSU plugged into the port. It gets power just fine, which is good. However, when I go to check the test points, I'm not really...

So, in order to read the voltage of the power points on the COK-002 it needs power running to it, correct? How do I achieve this? A scientific power supply? Just wing it with the PSU that is provided with the unit? Pardon me if this seems rudimentary, but I'm just confused as to how to read the...

Turned out to be a faulty motor in the slide. Ended up replacing it with another BD-410 and it was fine. Thank you!

Hello, first and foremost, great tutorial. Easy to follow, and detailed. Now unfortunately, I was unable to get my BD to play any sort of disc whatsoever. I have verified that the laser is working fine. I successfully remarried the BD to the motherboard. I was unable to follow both methods...

Once again I am back with two different units. Another COK-002 and a DIA-002. The DIA-002 error code is as follows: A0201B02 and A0A02031. This follows the dead RSX line, correct? Not really much of a fix if this is the case. The COK-002 is as follows: A0801002, A0611011, A0101001. Not...

So, I ended up just changing the eeprom value from 00 to FF and booting it back up. YLOD was gone, for some reason. Everything seems to be peachy keen with this particular unit. Just for reference I had the RxD, TxD and GND all soldered on the correct pins. I'm using 26 AWG jumper wires. It...

So, my process goes as follows: Solder RxD, TxD to respective pins, cover with kapton tape and then electrical tape Attach GND to ground point. In this instance, I used the exposed edge of the PCB Power board Run Python script in CXR auth -> auth successful EEP GET 3961 01 -> 00000000 FF EEP...

Hello, thanks db for the info. Pardon the late response. I've been tinkering around with a little garbo build of a PC for the past few days and switched over to a new system Now, I've set that particular board aside for another time. It's a little frustrating and time consuming so I've gotta...

Hello PSX Place. I'm chiefhunnablunts, or chief for short. I've been interested in console gaming for a number of years now, and have recently begun to repair PS3s for the mean time. Previously I was a cook in the food industry in an upscale restaurant. I was even apprenticing to become a chef...

Hello, I'm pretty new to all of this. Python, Ubuntu, soldering, pretty much everything. I've had two successful repairs with tantalum cap replacements. However, I have a CECHE that's proving to be quite problematic. I was told from a Reddit thread that I should follow this thread and diagnose...
