Title: ps3 rf trace problem
Post by: manwinder on May 28, 2011, 03:38:56 PM

i was installing bmuv2 on my ps3 controller and the tp18 point ripped out of the board, if you were to look at the to18 point you would see brown, how can i fix this, can i use an alternate point, what is the tp18 used for(it is the r1), i have the ps3 controller that looks like this(it is one of the first sixaxis controller, it does not have dual shock 3):

the trace is a copper line... if your vision sucks use a magnifying glass.

First of all , I am not sure this can be fixed, and if you took the tp18 out, you might have lost one side of the controller. I did this once and lost the use of the right side of the controller, i tried to fix it and didnt have any luck, thought about going back and trying it again but just havent had the time, all you can do is search for the wireing schematic on the controller, they are out there just have to find them. just something to think about when you try to repair this.

good luck. If I find any info I will post back .

From most of the scans I have seen, the TP18 and TP17 points (both COM lines) are not part of the main trace. The main path of the trace is on the backside of the PCB and an extra via brings the COM to the top side only for the test point. Lifting the pad should not have ruined the controller, but you will not want to install RF without it.
