No it does boot normally when its not connected
That is a short circuit in the BT/WIFI module, look carefully at the filter capacitors you can see on the module and check if they have any cracks/burnt marks.
The quality of the image is hard to judge. The brown ones are filter capacitors, and usually one of them is damaged, causing the entire circuit to short-circuit.
Nope, everything looks normal to me. Is it possible to messure the board?
Of course you can if you have a multimeter.
Yeah i dont know how this works. I got the tools but no diagram
Now without leaking the schematics I would suggest replacing the whole module if getting a working BT/WIFI module is not expensive in your country.
If it is not connected, it can start. If it is connected, there will be a short circuit, then there are parts on the module that are damaged.
Ok it finalls works. But i hae to tell you something amazing. As soon as i put tze clip down for both ffc entries, the ps3 gets a short circut. Unclipping fixes it. NOW when i put the old board on and turn on the ps3, the ps3 lives. WHY. Before that nothing worked. Wtf is this problem??
maybe the secret is in the ribbon cable, but that's unlikely, usually you will see them with damaged contacts or something.
Are you using the original module and the ribbon cable is new?I think the secret still in the original ribbon cable.
I am using the same cable as it needs
So you replaced it? Based on the results, I think it was the ribbon cable that was the problem.Since you disconnected it there is no short circuit, you tested the original BT modules and they work fine, and the only thing left is the ribbon cable.
Ok, I get it, but it also makes me more confused, I don't want to believe it's the ribbon cable problem because there are no electronics on it, and by process of elimination you removed the BT module and the console worked, which would put your attention on the suspected BT module, which makes sense.
