Hello. I keep reading how great this is and all the stuff it can do. I just want to install it on my PSX DESR-7000 and bring back PS1 compatibility as Mechapwn killed it. There's not 1 tutorial on YouTube for the DESR and I've searched all through google there are no tutorials. Can someone...

Hello. Are you able to share the backup links please? I'm trying to install one 7000 hard drive to another 7000 PSX. I have a backup of the original files from that hard drive but when I put it in the other 7000 model it freezes on the tv screen and wont load. If I install the english files it...

I've got a backup if your still looking for it Sorry I didn't see the 1.06 mine is 1.31 How do you find out what firmware is installed on it without the original hard drive?

Hello Professionals. Still on my reball 40nm journey just wondering if anyone has advice for some final tweaking please. I used a profile that someone on here suggested (sorry can't remember your name :-( ) With a couple of adjustments. Seems like the only profile that has worked for my modified...

I have plenty of spare boards. Consoles are 18 years old now. It only cost me $92 for new parts gives me enough to do 25 Consoles. Not that I'll need that many always handy to have brand new spares though

Thanks for that. I'm the only repairer in Tasmania that does retro consoles. I offer ylod services. Let's say the caps go bad bottom side, I replace them all and give a 3 month warranty then the top ones die. I have to pull the console apart, diagnose then fix again. Or if other parts fail same...

Thank you. I can see now they are the same values. Shawn Shakir replied to me and said From Victors picture, they are 1210 sized 22u 16V mlcc's AU mouser.com has thousands of parts and different tolerances etc and numbers I'm also not sure of. Are these the right ones? Most of it looks the same...

Thank you Thank you very much I appreciate you telling me what they are. I couldn't read the schematic like you guys and Victor wasn't going to tell me lol These ones? Just not sure about the X6S part

:D ha ha They are in the pictures with the codes The codes C6019 C6020 C6320 C6322 Aren't in that list. I just found the Reset syscon command in Wikipedia so all good there. I don't know what that picture you uploaded means I can't read it. I'm not that advanced

Thank you. After much looking through the schematics it appears none of those parts are in the list man Also do you know to reset/wipe the syscon? Make it empty again?

Thank you. I've got them up. Last place quoted me 100 euros for the part. 300 euros for shipping $664 for a ceramic plate For my repairs can you tell me me the values of these capacitors please or where to get them from? They are the misc rail capacitors on the 60GB PS3

Hey mate. Where did you get the ELSTEIN circular IR plate from? I've bought about 3 different IR cermaics now and they are all just Chinese junk and don't heat up evenly. This one is the closest I've got to even heat but it's Still not heating the bar up in the middle. Not sure which one you...

Hey Felix. Thanks for this information it's very valuable. I do have spare motherboards but instead of harvesting the 4.7k and 2.2k resistors i'd prefer just to buy like 100 each of the 3.9k and 1.8k resistors. Do you know the watts and tolerance of each resistor by any chance? EG: 1.8 kOhms...

Hey man sorry about the late reply. The top IR ceramic was damaged from when I first got the bga from heating it up too quickly. I just got a new IR heater yesterday and installed it. So now I'm ready to do some testing. I've already worked out that having my bottom heater at 190 degrees is too...

Thanks for your reply mate I appreciate it. I've uploaded some images for you hope the link works. I modified my bga machine so the heaters sit as close as possible so they dont have to work as hard. Used jig brackets and raised it approx 20mm. Ive followed all your instructions. The...
