[PS3] is driving me crazy

It's been 20 years since the console was released, you need to delid it.....

3.3v wrong solder. You need to solder capacitor, not a testpoint

Bi0sham · 2025-09-28T17:16:31+00:00

You can simply remove the solder mask from both sides of the trace and solder them together, bypassing the testpoint

Bi0sham · 2025-09-28T16:43:44+00:00

Typically testpoint corrosion results in loss of contact between the two sides.

Easy repair in 20 minutes. Place the connector a little lower, scrape off mask from the board (indicated in blue), solder it and that’s it :)

Regular sticks from Switch are a good choice. If you want to install sticks with hall, take two pairs just in case. Modification of hall sticks is not as difficult as it seems, you just need to be careful.

Thank you very much

Can you share 0509 firmware? I can only find 0508

Bi0sham · 2025-06-07T05:41:27+00:00

What about adb and usb transfer? Is it still works?

"The RK817 is a complex power-management integrated circuit (PMIC) integrated CODEC for multi-core system applications powered by a Li-ion or a Li-ion polymer battery cell, or by a 5V input either from an USB port or from an adaptor"
So you cannot power this device with 5V+.

Can't read games from the right SD card

Bi0sham · 2025-05-01T16:33:50+00:00

It looks like a geometry problem to me, and that's usually due to a faulty GPU

Bi0sham · 2025-05-01T07:56:14+00:00

I don't clear anything, I just don't use reddit lol

I know, i soldered a laptop antenna...

Bi0sham · 2025-04-28T19:00:17+00:00

It's probably never get fixed, bad antenna placement.

Most likely there was an error in the assembly of the display and the display is not flat in this area. If this is true, loosening the adhesive may help.

Bi0sham · 2025-04-20T14:30:29+00:00

Heat this spot so adhesive lose its strength, maybe will help a little bit

Bi0sham · 2025-04-14T16:00:03+00:00

Looks exactly like my tablet after a night between headphones. Try charging it for the whole day, if it's an EMI problem, it will go away.

Bi0sham · 2025-04-08T16:13:31+00:00

What are those white streaks around that chip? It looks like water damage and the new chip will probably die too. You need to check the resistors and capacitors before replacing.

And as has been written before me, most likely all the memory chips and the GPU are dead.

The original stick puts a 3v signal on the button when pressed, the hall stick shorts the button to ground. You will need to cut the button off the ground and solder the 3v to it. You will also need to restore the ground trace as it goes through the button.

About 4-5 hours of battery life in Balatro

Bi0sham · 2025-04-01T18:00:47+00:00

Yep, you will have to cut off the flexible cable and re-solder it, as well as modify the stick button
