To connect, I just ripped these things apart for the hollow pins ( I got mine in korea) once you solder your wires to the inside, the wires makes perfect contact, its not loose, not too tight. pretty much perfect, just like you said...

This housing is better fit than anything that I've browsed thru ebay, I had a guy 3D print one (the white), I dont reommended, the pastic from 3D printing, not sure if its his or all, its brittle, because its layered, it will literally peel like an orange layer by layer.

This green loop, whats its purpose, and because of the eletrical tape, I cant tell what its connection is.

Oh one last thing, did you have to use some kind of tool to replace the wires from the 24 female MOBO pin? Is it for safety reasons because of the gauge of wire thats in there already, or is it for convience, where the ground and the + are the same color, or I guess length. So you would need...

I have a question, the 5 pin connector, that last one, where you labled "NC", I see a green wire thats inserted? and then back into the first 5V? I just put a pin in there because the first time, when I left it empty, it powered up, but when I press the power, it didnt go into YOLD. So I was...

Hey @jacobsson Sorry for the long wait, im sure everywhere has been crazy, its hard to find the time do continue where I last left off. But I have some good news, It might need your input, and I see some updates since. So I succeeded in powering up the PS3 that I killed (RIP, remember the one I...

Hi again Jacobsson Im going to do your mod first, im going to practice on trash boards before I destory another A01. I got most of the items prepared. Im waiting on the female 8 sockets to plug into the dell. Can I run it over with you? So I have these thick wires, from my reading, 2 (white +)...

ps. @DoublesAdvocate I found a de-lidding service on eBay for 450USD + shipping Hmmmmmm, he does give a 3 month of warranty, but unfortunately it doesn't rain money where I live. @jacobsson I re-read the start of your thread again, there was that "guy" who think what you did was madness lol...

https://twitter.com/Rare_videogames/status/1346887282473709568/photo/3 I took a picture of the gap between the cell and the lid. I think either wire or paint knife, i will need to file it down as think as possible, and, if a paint knife, use some kind of tape to make the bottom side glide.

@jacobsson Hi, I hope you had a good holidays and a happy New Year, and doing well! Thanks for all the help you gave last time, I got lucky by your third method :), I got a A01 with a bad blue-ray drive for less than 45, and repaired it, I didn't de-lid it. I took a picture of the motherboard...

Thanks for the posts. Especially the two different positions which to start. 1. A lot of people recommend a corner 2. Others recommend the opening (Now I definitely think this is the safest way) Wish I found this before. Yes, a lot of people did describe it as "cutting thru butter"...which...

Thanks for your input. If you could give me any advice, or if you know a proper youtube video that shows how its done it would be great! I hope I get a chance to fix this unit someday.

Hey Jacobsson You were right, I think the scratch on the corner where I tried to come in from did it. Put it back and got the red light. Sadly I think the CPU is damaged, and let me know if im wrong, you can't reball a another CPU onto a different unit from the treads that I have read. Your PS3...

Thanks, I will keep you updated. I am definitely going to make this an ongoing project. If it is dead, I try to get another motherboard, if I find one for a good deal. Yes, that first "cut" in order to insert your blade. It was so hard to do, It might have to do with not using a heat gun. I was...

And the "video tutorials" about replacing the NEC capacitors. Theres no way I would even consider that.
