Hello, I have had a ps3 for 9 years now (FAT Version), and experiencing problems with it.
Since the last 5 months i've been trouble shooting and even changed the power supply but no avail.
Problem: Powers go on normal, Red light is on, when pressed to power on system it immediately turns off after a mini beep with a real quick green light.
I've been searching for a motherboard to replace, but apparently none of my ps3 model is to be found anywhere.
PS3 Model: CECHK06
Board: DIA-002
Trying to figure out what's happening with it. And if possible to repair it myself.
I will post some pictures of the board tonight.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you.

 

Here are the images, i believe they are high res enough (from note 8 camera).

 

...just throwing in my 2 cents... One of the possibilities is that you may have a short or open under one of the BGA IC's (most likely open). Those kinds of problems are beyond 95% (if not close to 99%) of people to repair by them selves .

Hello sir,
apparently when i re assembled the unit after taking pictures, it booted up for the first time in 2 years. But there's another problem now; there is no video to the tv (tested on another tv still no vid) and the fan isn't spinning either just a green led. do you think its the same problem again?

Thank you for your time.

 

If it didn't work before and it works after reassembly, then it might indicate that you might have some lose connections. That could mean broken solder joints (with age, it happens) anywhere on the board: IC's, traces, anywhere. Once you reassembled it, some connections could have made contact, and some didn't..
First suggestion, is to clean it out with compressed air in a can (if you haven't done it yet).

Already did it and even cleaned the board with alcohol before taking the pictures.
So, i wanna try out that oven baking thing before giving up, i'm not sure tho.

 

If you have no experience in this sort of thing, be aware that you may cause more damage to the board....but since it doesn't work properly, then you do not have much to lose. It could work...broken connections could re-flow solder again... let us know how it works when you proceed..

Ok, should i add flux under the chips? I have this type of flux: https://www.ebay.com/itm/2017-New-1...261357?hash=item5b2811876d:g:P0YAAOSwTZ1Xky-l

 

If you are able (and know how), flux would greatly help with even heat flow.
One question that I have, do you have experience in reflowing BGA connections or are you researching info on internet?

I do not have any experience in reflowing BGA c... , yes i'm searching info.
Thanks

 

If you bake it too long or at wrong temperature, other components may just flow away with it.. I have seen it happen when I worked in circuit board manufacturing plant. To test if out, try baking something else first, something you can afford to destroy if something goes wrong: Old mother board, old electronics that have SMD components...
Below is a link to BGA components being viewed under an x-ray machine...hopefully it will give you an idea of what you will be working with.. It's very delicate process, requires precision, and its very hard to do it by hand.

So i took a loot at the pictures and seems very delicate. I am gonna try it at 325 degrees C for 8 mins and let it cool for 2 hours.

I swear i have the same problem, but i after I opened it and changed the thermal paste that problem startto happen, plug it. And red light on after turn it on after 1 peep turn off and no more red light at all. If you have any solutions or solve it please let me know!
Thank you
