    PS3 Hello!

    Hi, I'm an old user, mostly lurked before, but need to contact someone on this forum (Deadend) because I lost his contact info. Was working with him on some PS3 Frankenstein stuff! Thank you!

    PS3 Fault finding YLOD with the SYSCON - First steps and Error reporting

    Has anyone successfully repaired A0403034 by reballing? I keep hearing people say reball, but nobody actually says that they've fixed a PS3 by reballing. I really don't want to reball if I don't have to, but I have like 3 BC models that have this error. I'm so worried right now because I have...

    CPU Mounting Pressure After Delid?

    No, but this is including the GPU.

    CPU Mounting Pressure After Delid?

    Hey, I delidded a CECHL and the mounting pressure is non-existent now. I literally can't get the cooler to mate with the CPU. Does anyone know the threading and dimensions of the screws? I'm in the US so the hardware store only has SAE screws to compare with. Nothing metric.

    PS3 Frankenstein PHAT PS3: CECHA with 40nm RSX

    I mean Y is usually only for outputs, do you have a copy of the schematic I can look at? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    PS3 Frankenstein PHAT PS3: CECHA with 40nm RSX

    Does anyone know where Vcore is generated for the RSX? I'm assuming by looking at the buck converter than generates the 1.2V we can drop the voltage to 0.95V no problem. I think the easiest way may be to intercept syscon because it will most likely be an active power management IC that handles...

    I also worry that grounding the two pins will exceed current limit on pin 1. Really want to avoid the parasitic power loss and potential fire hazard. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Are there more images for the test pads for the other Syscon solder points? I feel like these should be added to the official guide. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    PS3 Frankenstein PHAT PS3: CECHA with 40nm RSX

    I'm very interested in the 0.95V mod, but I'm confused how grounding pins 2 and 3 on Q6200 would create that voltage. It seems like those are source pins connected to pin 1, and that would just short out the whole device according to the schematic.

    Have you tried ChipQuik? I tried Kester and MG Chemicals that come in a bottle and they both suck. But I hear ChipQuik is good. My current favorite is Amtech, but I am exploring other options.

    Yeah sorry it worked! I just needed to try a different USB cable. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    For my VER-001 board, TX pin from my UART serial USB wire was connected to the test point closer to the VER-001 silk screened text. RX was connected to the further one.

    Just pulled syscon for an CECHL01 with A0802022, am going to try replacing CXM4024R.

    That just looks like you didn't use flux, or really shitty flux.

    PS3 Fault finding YLOD with the SYSCON - First steps and Error reporting

    Tried soldering to these points, got no UART interface. I'm gonna try sniffing with a digital analyzer to see if I can see UART.
