PS3 Tristate test pad lift up

[db260179]

But if i was you try and get a teensy, so much easier than this e3 linker and more reliable

 

[Dheeraj Gumber]

So, basically you need to power the e3 linker and the NOR chip without powering on the PS3 motherboard. Because you cant keep the ps3 on due to brick, you need to do the way i suggested.

ATX psu > 3.3v > NOR chip (or some form of 3.3v source, a mobile charger? voltage regulator?)
E3 linker powered by external source > connected to NOR via wires for the data line etc as per pic below

So the e3 linker pins - https://i.imgur.com/IWa5FQU.jpg - just an example need to find your motherboard pins reference

Just solder the BCC and VCC to a 3.3v source (not the ps3 motherboard)

you mean I direct connect BCC and VCC to 3.3v PSU not connect to E3 linker using wires . I am right here?

But if i was you try and get a teensy, so much easier than this e3 linker and more reliable

And another one doudt if you solve.The doubt is I uploaded my motherboard test pad pic on here there is Show VCC point but I cannot find any BCC testpad here can u help where is that?

But if i was you try and get a teensy, so much easier than this e3 linker and more reliable

there are 2 VCC point on here I think one point is VCC and 1 point is BCC so can u tell me plz which point is right VCC and Which one is BCC?

But if i was you try and get a teensy, so much easier than this e3 linker and more reliable

Can u plz give me your WhatsApp no or any other platform where I contact you so you give me reply fast ..

I may be overstepping and if so I apologize and mods can delete this.

I see posts like this on a lot of forums, multiple on this one, and I just feel compelled to point this out. People on here are helping you for free, in their free time. They don't want to be giving you direct contact methods so that you can spam them with questions so they can answer you "fast". Mostly I see people just politely side stepping these questions. So the people asking for this access never learn that they shouldn't be asking. Ask your questions on the forum, then wait patiently for their answer, in their time. You aren't paying them, they don't owe you answers, fast, or otherwise. Also, time zones, everybody on the internet forgets time zones, if a person doesn't answer you then wait, they're possibly sleeping, or working.

Hey I am not ordering him to give me your number. I am only request him if they can . And who are u tell me that The person I ask for number has not any problem so why you are talking to me like this. I know they help me without any cost and I appreciate their work because they know about this .They are talented not like you.You see upper message the moderater tell me about spam so I feel soory.And soory if I my message hurt you.

 

[db260179]

Yeh, thanks for speaking up about this, maybe im too kind. I dont do personal helpline, I only do this as a hobby.

Unfortunatley I dont have the answers to every question, and can only give advise based on my experience and knowledge.

@dheeraj try to find the required information from the internet you will get a faster response and will encourage you to self learn more.
This way you can come back and say, 'I tried these things, and im stuck? could you help?'

He is trying to politely suggest that we can't always gives answers straight away and try to self learn.

I only do this as a hobby, so I never give out my personal details or numbers.

All I ask from you is look on the internet, and give it a go - Unfortunatley the super slim models are a bit of an unknown, so can't help you on the pinouts.

you mean I direct connect BCC and VCC to 3.3v PSU not connect to E3 linker using wires . I am right here?

Connect the e3 linker pins called BCC and VCC to the PSU, ignore the ps3 motherboard for power, the rest of the pins of the e3 linker connect to the ps3 motherboard, as per pic you found

The post you share with me he use positive and nagitive wires to connect e3 flasher so can u tell me where I use positive and nagitive like VCC is negative or positive or BCC is negative or positive

thanks for your above information

you know if I solder wrong wire to wrong connection the motherboard or E3 will damage

 

[db260179]

So yes if you wire the wrong wire it will fry the nor and the e3 flasher. VCC and BCC is postive voltage, negative will GND.

Best research basics electronics, use a multimeter to check - if u are not sure stop now before damage has been done.

Can I use this like VCC and BCC wire twist them and solder both positive point of PSU so what I connect with negative point??
All confirm here because I cannot see my motherboard fry. .

Sir I make a dialgram I am not good in painting but see if I am doing right

In this diagram I show that if I join vcc and bcc and solder both to positive of PSU and negative point solder to gnd point if this work well??

@db260179 share you thoughts with me??

Hello I try but I got an error code PS3 is operation nor plz help me

@sandungas @db260179 @littlebalup

help me

 

[sandungas]

I never had an E3, that info about "PS3 is operating NOR" is useless for me

 

[kadorna2]

I never had an E3, that info about "PS3 is operating NOR" is useless for me

Means literally that, that the ps3 is actively using the NOR. E3 needs exclusive access to it in order to flash, that's why tristate is required during read/write operstions

 

[sandungas]

Well, in the last conversations of this thread we was talking about not powering up the motherboard
The tristate is only required to block the communications in between flash and southbridge, if you power up the whole motherboard there are going to be other components trying to access flash (and it happens very soon in the boot sequence), this creates interferences with the flasher (E3, teensy, etc...)

The solution is to not power up the motherboard, and "inject" the voltage directly to the flash chip, this way you have the flash chip working but the other components of the motherboard are not powered (so there is no interferences with the flash chip)

He is not explaining what he was trying to do in the last tests though

 

[kadorna2]

Yes but I've never seen that error pop up on a tristate'd console, and I've done tens of consoles powering the whole board instead of feeding 3.3v to the chip since afaik macronix and spansion chips are 3v only and instead of frying the shit I just prefer the board to regulate the correct voltage by itself

Yes, is better to allow the motherboard to power the flash chip, but this implyes powering the whole motherboard + using the tristate

But he destroyed the tristate pad, this is when we started talking about injecting the voltage to flash externally
The problem is the E3 is not designed to work that way, i guess there is some way to achieve it but i dont know E3 much so i cant help with that

The other solution would be what i mentioned some posts ago... build some kind of "tripod" with a needle, and use the needle to "touch" in the remaining copper of the destroyed tristate pad

You know... around the tristate pad there was one (or more) lines of copper going to it, if you touch that line with the needle (and connect the other side to ground)... electrically is the same than what he was trying to do when he damaged the tristate pad
This would allow him to use the E3 normally

 

[kadorna2]

just scratching the solder mask away and soldering kynar wire or magnet wire directly to the trace is more efficient, secure and way easier than the needle method

 

[sandungas]

But this is microsoldering, a lot harder to achive than what i mentioned about the needle
And he damaged the tristate pad when he was trying to solder in it (probably because his solder iron have too much power) so i dont think he is going to be able to solder into a trace

The needle is a ghetto trick, but it works nice and is specially handy when the only thing you want is a temporal connection (are just some minutes, the time enought to fix the PS3)
Also, it can be made without any soldering in the circuit board, basically, all you need is the needle + a wire + this at the other side of the wire
Then "grab" the border of the PS3 motherboard with it... all the border is ground
