The logic board is "married" (tech term) to your PS3s mainboard.There's a way to remarry a logic board to your mainboard - I haven't done it, but there's plenty of people who have. I can try and do some Google-fu and find something, but your best bet is to either find a tut or find someone who's done it who will make a tut for you.
Nice - so just pull that chip off your old board and drop it into the new logic board? Helluva lot faster than waiting for a 3.56 or god forbid, 3.60 downgraders.
I'm glad we could help, sometimes the chip can't handle high heat. Temperature is critical~remember that.
congrats!having confidence in your skills will take you far!
i have a broken bmd-001 logic board and have a spare bmd-002. looks different asit hasmore chips on. will this process work if i swap the chip over or does it have to bee the same model logic board?
