Board scan PS3 Motherboard Scanning

[jose_Leo12]

Hello everyone, as I said I would post my scans of the Ps3 board, here I am!

In case I posted it in the wrong place, I ask that an ADM change it to the correct place... without further ado.

Repertorio Ps3 - Google Drive

drive.google.com

Here is the Google Driver link containing the scans of the PS3's internal board, which in total are 6 layers. I also left the basic guide that I used to cut the board, which practically eliminated only GND and some data lines from the 3rd internal layer, along with initial color mapping files made in GIMP (they are incomplete).
I was going to use GitHub to send it, but I ended up not being able to send the files there, and on Google Drive they all fit very well.

I'll leave the scans of the plate here in case anyone doesn't want to go into Google Drive...
Oh, remembering that these are scans of the PQX-001 model board and the image resolution is 1080P.

NOTE: in layers 3 and 4 you will notice that the background is black (I did this because the board was so thin that it didn't pick up the lines on the printer for scanning).

Thank you very much, this helps me a lot documenting the board.

Olá a todos, como eu disse que postaria meus scans da placa do PS3, aqui estou!

Caso eu tenha postado no lugar errado, peço que um ADM altere para o lugar correto... sem mais delongas.

Repertorio Ps3 - Google Drive

drive.google.com

Aqui está o link do Google Driver contendo os scans da placa interna do PS3, que no total são 6 camadas. Também deixei o guia básico que usei para cortar a placa, que praticamente eliminou apenas o GND e algumas linhas de dados da terceira camada interna, juntamente com os arquivos iniciais de mapeamento de cores feitos no GIMP (eles estão incompletos).
Eu ia usar o GitHub para enviar, mas acabei não conseguindo enviar os arquivos para lá, e no Google Drive todos couberam muito bem.

Deixarei as digitalizações da placa aqui caso alguém não queira acessar o Google Drive...
Ah, lembrando que esses são scans da placa modelo PQX-001 e a resolução da imagem é 1080P.

OBSERVAÇÃO: nas camadas 3 e 4, você notará que o fundo é preto (fiz isso porque a placa era tão fina que não captou as linhas da impressora para digitalização).

Pede reupar o arquivo?

@jose_Leo12 do you have another board for better scans all how many layers are talking

 

[Comicfirefly44]

@jose_Leo12 i have nearly completed layer 1 in cad but cell and rsx pads are pretty much all torn i need you to give me some hd pictures of flex io and cell and rsx bga for pqx-001 i don't a spare board nor a bga machine

 

[Comicfirefly44]

which layers are practically missing data lines i see bottom layer 1 has some lines misssing and you mention internal 3rd layer missing lines is it front 3rd or back 3rd

Hi, sorry for the delay in replying, but do you want to make a specific cut? Or an identical cut to the one I made? To make the cut I made, you'll have to relocate some data traces from the 3rd and 4th layers, which are the last two inner layers. Luckily, most PS3 motherboards always have reference points for the 3rd and 4th layers on the top layers, so it's much easier to relocate them. Just identify the point and scrape very carefully. If you mess up, you're ruined. I'm thinking of making a guide to cutting and relocating this cut I made, in case anyone is interested in trying it.

I am creating boardview based of your scans for eaiser diagonsis of blackout and syscon errors so uperslims don't always end up in parts bins or trash

I understand, unfortunately I don't have another board to provide you with new scans. I thought you were interested in the cutting guide, but that's no problem.

no worries I was mainly asking which data lines from layer 3 were you referring to in this quote I did not find any lines that were cut from 3 or 4 layers so that was a point to clear.
also in your trim guide you said something about scratching layer 6 and 4 maybe
also is front layer 3 xdr missing any lines can you confirm

 

[Comicfirefly44]

One more request Jose can you sacrifice a vita board I have scans from dev wiki but they are awefully missing data lines copper planes
any console except Xbox I will be accepting to design switch vita ps4 ps5 any consoles with prestine scans

 

[jose_Leo12]

When I mentioned the guide I used to assemble the PS3, which eliminated some data lines, I was referring to the Layer 3 communication lines – those lines on the side, if I'm not mistaken. In total, there were 4 lines I needed to relocate from Layer 3 and, from Layer 5, two voltage lines that needed to be reconnected. I'm not sure of the exact order, but without these connections, the console shows no sign of life.

I'd love to tinker with a PS Vita motherboard, but I haven't even gotten close to one yet, sorry.

I have a ps vita 1000 motherboard it works I’ll donate to a good cause if your in the states.

great than either you can make scans or send 1 to jose by the way stay alert for publishing i be releasing either sem-001 or pqx-001 boardview by january or feburay

Oh, what a shame, unfortunately I don't live in the United States.

 

[Customledmods]

I’ll dm you.

say you have ps4 board sacrifice by chance ps4s have been quiet famous for have blod wlod faults and screw drilling just imagine instead of throwing good boards away one could grind layers and recreate the tracks or better reroute enameled wires top to bottom
To be honest currently folks over psxplace say superslim can't be reflash due to unknow testpoints for flash memory and i too have a victim of bad flash of my own my very first ps3 that i never gave to a techician to reflow for 6 years i waited for progress to be made only to do it myself afterall what a joke right

 

[DoublesAdvocate]

I’ll dm you.

Just FYI the Vita motherboard has already been scanned so there isn't much need for that.
It seems the original thread on the wololo forum where I got the scans from is gone but I still have all the files as well as the original yandex drive link where I got them is still up but I don't think my account can post links. https://disk.yandex.com/d/CRDsbhJBmpmAX

If the interest is there I'd be willing to send some of my COK-001 and COK-002 boards to be scanned as well.

i know i have those scans and if you look closely theres a whole of copper missing that stopped me from working on it after 1st layer
