Which model has 3 lasers?

Hi, Has anyone tried to reflow RSX with induction? I'm probably stupid, but I have a couple of COK-002 with GLOD. I don't want to destroy the motherboard with an oven or heat gun. But if you heat up the IHS (via e.g. a bolt) and an induction heater (which you use to heat rusty bolts in e.g...

Hi, Need some help interpreting my data on a CECHA00. 0xa0801002 indicates on the NEC tokin, but is there anything else to find in these logs before I order new tantalizers? Approximately 4 seconds from switch on to three beeps and shut down. becount Bringup : 1526 times Shutdown: 298 times...

The first one I reported is not measured in the same way as the last two, but I can check the first one again when I get home (for the weekend). I have more PS3s, but they will come as they come...

I have a PS3 (BD-400) that does not see hybrid SACD when such a disc is inserted - only the CD track. When I put in a pure SACD (no CD-layer), it appears after a short while and can be played. If I then put in a hybrid SACD again afterwards, it sees both CD and SACD (and plays both). I don't...

Hi, I would guess that the laser in your BD drive is bad. I have replaced a few and one of the first things that stops working when the laser starts to go bad is SACD. I guess it is a BD-400 in your PS3. BD-410 normally does not read SACD (except for a few that have been replaced by SONY or...

That was good to know. I'll measure it better on my machines in the future. Thanks for the information My latest undervolted PS3. Haven't tried turning it on after being turned off for a few days, so I'll probably need to adjust the RSX, but it seems to be stable like this right now. APS-226...

Interesting - I’ll look at this at some point. I now have SACD-compatible BD-410 in my frank CECHA01, B01, C04 and E01-MG. Also have some non SACD BD-410 laying around.

Thanks :) - Good to know! My previously reported CECHC04 has a Toshiba RSX if that could also be relevant for undervolting. b08 500/650 vpe:ff shd:3f [AP0006043:1:1:c:8:d:2:f:2][16:3:1:1:1:3:1][0:0:0]

Should it be replaced with a "real" one or is this good enough?

For CELL I currently only have an assumption on these PS3's (1.25V) at 'FF' On RSX I have looked from what I can read out of LV1 (I don't know if this is the right way to do it?) and readed BEFORE undervolting. So I have NOT read the bits on the BUCK controllers or actual values on BE_VDDC or...

Stock clock on CPU/RSX/VRAM Stable in GT6 (loop demo mode) and TLOU. Disconnected from the mains for at least 3 days and started up again without problems: CECHA01 CELL: 1,0750V [20], RSX(40): 0,9125V [07] CECHB01 CELL: 1,0750V [20], RSX(40): 0,9125V [07] CECHC04 CELL: 1,1125V [1E], RSX(40)...

I also have a CECHC04 that I bought at the launch. At some point it was sent in for repair and came back with a new serial number (08-…). The old serial number is underneath but unfortunately I can't read it to see if it matches the serial number on the box :( In my case Sony had the bd-400...

Hi, Why can't I access SYSCON? 'Windows64_gui_ps3_syscon_uart_script.exe' doesn't work. Just gives message: 'Auth response invalid'. SysconReader also says 'Auth response invalid'. This applies to both of my CECHL/VER-001 (one working and one with YLOD). I have no problems reading my...

Tried for 20 hours (off grid) and it started without problems. But I'm going to leave it for a few days as I've working on another PS3. But if it's OK for about 3 days, can I leave it at these voltage levels? Do I need to take into account that the NEC chip/CPU/GPU ages and steps up a bit?
