    PS3 How to tell if 40 nm rsx are fine?

    So i found a rough diagram about diagnosing the 40 nm rsx but I have some doubts about it. For one, i found 2 out of the 4 40 nm rsx i own on FBVDD to register .2 and 3.6 ohms. also all 40 nm PLL were 30m ohm, not 3.9m. The rest were all in line with what to expect. Does FBVDD mean the gpu is...

    PS3 How to tell if 40 nm rsx are fine?

    Ive reballed some 40nm rsx chips to practice on, but im not sure the test points and ohms to be ok for rework. 5301A1GB x3 5300A1GB x1 are what i reballed for my Frankie project. Thanks! -r

    PS3 How do I gingerly delid an RSX from a ps3 slim?

    I've successfully removed RSX chips from ps3 boards without ripping up pads 100% of the time, but I cant seem to find a method that doesnt feel like a crap-shoot when i remove the heat sink from the RSX chip. Too much heat and i risk removing pads from the RSX to the board. Too little heat and I...

    PS3 CECHA01 YLOD (1701 error)

    I purchased a few broken PS3s on ebay to fix and just understand the system better but I dont see much information about the 1701 code. I've seen some posts mention its a bad CELL and the pswiki has something about a bad hard drive. It was definitely opened previous as the lockout security bit...

    PS3 Having Difficulties Connecting To Syscon

    Heya! Thanks for the reply. I watched that video last night but it didnt seem to help. In the end I soldered the usb's ground to the outer exposed layer of the copper on the board, but that didnt work.... Until i swapped the transmit and receive on my UART adapter. YAY! What a minor pain, but it...

    PS3 Having Difficulties Connecting To Syscon

    Hey all! I'm new to PS3 (not general device) repair, and I'm having issues connecting to my CECHA01 to diagnose what the issue is. I've swapped the TX and RX switches but it always states that Auth1 response is invalid. I dont really trust this because i can cut power the to ps3 and itll do the...
