reballing

Just showing some balling work. I've been reballing since before the PS3 existed, and I'm almost 50 now, so this is just a quick speed-up of the process. :) Lately, I've found a few tricks with RSX flux amount and consistency that give me an almost perfect ball attach about 95% of the time...

Hey all. Months ago I had disassembled my PS3 Slim to change the thermal paste, and when I re-assembled it and turned it on it instantly turned fully off. While troubleshooting with the LED syscon code I found the error 3034, so my guess was that I had broken some solder balls and it needed a...

Hi guys, i wanted to share a possible fix for anyone that might have this syscon error codes combo: 3034, 4402, 1601, 1701. Bit of background: so i bought this slim CECH - 3004A and every time i tried to power it up it would work for several seconds and then shut off, no light. It had mild...

I'm trying to get an idea of whether or not the 90nm RSX in A-E BC models and G/H models are reliable. We know they can have BGA defects. We've seen oxidized balls while reballing them! What's less clear is how many of these consoles met their fate from BumpGate! In 2006-2008 Nvidia made poor...
