No longer is there a need to experiment thanks to Rambonz PS3 Delid Tool. https://ps3delidtool.com/?srsltid=AfmBOooDWm5Z-9ksyuOF5C6qx_ldgp8I2BcgKtgiOHChhTsGTfwGhAlu

You will have to solder wick the lead free solder off, once you hot air the original connector off. And then add some flux and 63/37 Lead solder, Kester is a great brand or Chipquik to add new solder to the pads. And then you can either lightly solder on the connector without melting it, or the...

Yes I thought it was the same 4943BDY chip but it's a totally different chip (4866DY). Does that IC not provide any type of power to the BD Drive? I'm not even getting a blue light from the board. And replacing the 4943BY Mosfet along with the 3 47uf Tantalum capacitors 10v, 35v and a 16v, 2...

I also replaced two of those ic's and the nearby Tantalum capacitors along with the fuse looking thing and the two nearby transistors, and now my PS3 just gives me a solid Red Light with the power and eject button not working...

None of those are MOSFETs. For example 4943B or the 4935B IC is a Mosfet.

It happened to me aswell, it looks like writing to the HDD kills the HDD.

I made a guide to replacing the NEC Tokins: https://imgur.com/gallery/9C0hCa2 I use plenty of flux on the PCB and the motherboard by solder wicking the lead free solder off of the motherboard, I add some quality leaded 63/37 Solder, the brand I use is Kester, to both the PCB and the...

I replaced both of the 4943B MOSFETs, the two Q609 and Q610 transistors, along with the 47uf tantalum capacitors, a replacement TH6002 component from an 80gb Phat PS3, and now I have an entirely different fault. My PS3 now only gives me a solid Red Light and nothing else. Eject and power isn't...

Yes looking through the other posts including your replies, I will try all of these suggested fixes. I will replace those two ic's just in case with brand new chips along with replacing the 47uf 25v Tantalum cap with a new 47uf 35v Tantalum cap. But I would like to order that Q6009 component...

Thanks for the information, you mean the two IC Q6010 and Q60200 chips I circled in my previous reply. I've already replaced those two IC chips from a YLOD Board and it made no difference. I will need to check the other nearby components perhaps near the power connector. Will have to find and...

Yes even with that fault I replaced the WiFi/Bluetooth module and that also didn't fix the internet connection fault. I also just plugged my A01 BD Drive into my B01 and successfully ejected the disc out of the BD Drive. But when I put it back into my A01, the BD drive was completely dead, no...

Hi thanks for the reply, yes I have a lot of soldering a rework experience and I see so then the fault is elsewhere on the motherboard perhaps with MOSFETs, Capacitors or something, to sum it up, the drive is married to this board. I remarried it to my B01 to test it and the BD Drive worked. I...

PS3 Specs 1tb SSD Tantelizers Has new quality Replacement Caps for the Motherboard, PSU and the BD Drive Delided I'm very familiar with tech repair and soldering and repair a bunch of other systems in my spare time. No broken traces, no cold solder. Evil Nat CFW and now it's stuck on the...

I encountered the same issue, slow Bluetooth connection, no WiFi connection, console crashes when I turn it on with a controller. I'm using an Official Sixaxis and PS3 is an A01 Phat model with a 1tb SSD with the latest Evil Nat CFW. Replacing the network card from the E01 and the ribbon flex...
