Hi, recently I've got ps1 scph-9002 from my brother. It has broken tray and games shutter, sometimes stuck at loading screens, sometimes doesn't load at all. I've replaced laser with a new one. Bought sony cd-r, there were the only cd in store that support speed 1x-48x. Sadly my writer...

For now I don't have tantalum capacitors. I know I must heat them up, but didn't thought about solder iron. It could be easier than using heat gun. I will try in some time, probably in two weeks, because I have to much work this week. Thanks for suggestions

I don't know how to check capacitance when ps3 is off. It powering on for to short time for me to check. Yes, every measurement was correct when checked last time before assembling. I think about rip them off motherboard and replace every NEC tokin with tantalum caps, I saw it on YouTube on...

Thank you all for your help. My ps3 is broken. Probably that shortcut caused by metal plate damaged something else, and my console won't boot up at all. I've tried without metal shield, tried insulation tape, even unsoldered all capacitors that soldered yesterday. Still won't start, ylod. I'm...

Thanks, it was second time in my life I've used soldering iron. Btw, I've put capacitors downside up, to prevent shortcut with motherboard, but now I see that 100% caused shortcut with metal shield. I need to add some insulating tape on it

I had heatsink and fan connected when tested. You might be right, probably metal shield caused problems, because without it, it booted up. Here is my picture, I'm solder noob, so please don't laugh. And on the picture are 6 tantalums. The right bottom one is two tantalums soldered together. It...

So, I'm just finished soldering. Before assembling, I've powered it on to check it would even work. And it worked, it started normally, I've used multimeter to measure, and it was fine. But after assembling, it won't start. There is green light for a second, then yellow for another second and it...

Thanks. I will try to do something similar, but I gonna use six 330uf capacitors. Two for oe108 and four for oe128. And, sorry for noob question, do I need to scratch the place where I solder to ground? I will use the same place that you showed in your picture

It's been a while, but I've learned some about NEC tokins. And I've did measurements, my NEC tokins have (bottom on picture) 570uF, and (top on picture) 620. Do I need to solder two 330 on each NEC tokins? Do I need add exactly tantalum to have 1200uF on each, or it need to be something around...

Thanks. Have you any pictures which show it where to solder? And which tantalum caps?

Ok, I check heatsink once again. But after reading, I think that might be nec problem

Wrong thread, don't how to delete this, sorry

Ok, thanks, I've found yours older posts about nec and read something. Can you tell me, which exactly tantalum capacitors I must buy, and where exactly solder them? I mean to which pin? Or maybe tutorial video or something?

It's hard to tell it was as good temperature before, i I'didnt use it by 4 years. I'm notice that ps3 was very loud while playing bf3, but never shut down. The first time I've check temp was after installing cfw, ofw don't show temp. I'm going to check some ps3 games. Psx games play normal, it...

I think heatsink seat correctly, if it not, the screws wouldn't fit. I tested burnout 3 and devil may cry 3. But last test show me that console shut off while 62°C, fan at 50%. It's quite old fat, 80gb model
