hi,i fix consoles especially vintage ones mainly my own and for friends for almost no profit. so i started my hand on newer next gen ones. i have a stack of ps3's phattys that im fixing for me and friends so we can enjoy the ps2 upscale. so far ive only been able to fix 1 of them using basic sorcery and blood sacrifice. the others are either ylod or bricked.
all have a plethora of lights and errors as soon as i turn on so i cant be sure. before i send them for reballing i would like to try and get a reading from the lv2diag thingy. but the ps3's shut off as soon as i press power. i read for newer ps3's you solder a wire between tristate and gnd to keep the ps3 on. so far what ive discovered from weeks of searching there is no tristate on older ps3's due to the dual NAND while tristates have something to do with NOR consoles. if this is true is there an alternative way i can keep the ps3 on long enough to try basic diagnostics and such?
thanks for any info.
