PS3 DVD DRIVE LOGIC BOARD question

[Rodent]

found the problem...
his needs both chips.
Rodent what was yours out of?

That is the style board i had but i didnt have to change the small chip just the bga... I had a BMD-001 and replaced it with a BMD-002 different style board then one shown there

the bmd-001 has A 3 on the board and i believe the other board i replaced it with was a bmd-002 B 2 or A 1 or A 2 was a while back when i posted this so dont remember what the board was if i can find a pic of what the board looked like I will post pic. they looked nothing a like the boards didnt and I just replaced the BGA nothing else

The PS£ is a CECHCO3 Date Code 7B Serial:-02-27430420-5895771
The logic board is a BMD-001 1-871-575-24

This help? Do i need to remove both chips as described above?

1TONpete knows when they changed certain logic boards. so wait to you hear back from him before changing the smaller chip.

managed to swap chips over to a new board and now it takes and ejects disks. still no show up in the dashhboard tho. My origional board was a BMD-001 ... 1-871-575-24 A(2) and i put its chip onto this board BMD-001 ..1-871-575-24 A (3)
all i need to no now is that do i need to put the other chip onto the new board as posted above?

thanks guys

sounds like you dont have the bga fulliy connected... i would open the top up and see if the laser is working...  then we can see if you have to change the other chip

[laytonanthony]

ok soldered the other chip on anyway.yeh took lid off..no laser at all. will it still show a laser with no disk in it?

If the dvd drive is powered up and the disk goes in , and it should show some laser activity. meaning it should light up either when you boot the PS3 or when you engage the disk .. if thats doesnt work then I would say either you dont have the bga fully in tacted on the board or last resort you need to change the other chip .


I see 1TONpete hasn't replied yet with dates on which has single or dual lasers . he told me the other day I forgot what it was..

[laytonanthony]

ok swapped BOTH chips now and i have no laser. it now takes and ejects but doesnt spin up and no sign of any laser what so ever..looks like its the BGA chip. just going to have to try again lol! ill keep you posted pal.

[Rodent]

maybe the laser just no good..  good luck hope you get it working
