Description
Original launch "fat" PlayStation 3 internals built around the CECHA00 / COK-001 motherboard. This is the sought-after HARDWARE backwards-compatible board — real PS2 Emotion Engine + Graphics Synthesizer chips on board, so it plays PS2 discs in hardware, not emulation. These BC boards are getting hard to find.
Selling the complete internals AS-IS for repair.
WHAT WORKS:
- Powers on and boots straight to the XMB — NO YLOD
- Plays games and media off the HDD with no issues
- RSX (GPU) and CELL both healthy — no overheating / no yellow light
- Detects a disc when inserted
THE FAULT:
- Blu-ray drive won't load or spin discs — no 12V reaching the drive
- Diagnosed to the BD power circuit ON THE MOTHERBOARD, not the drive itself (tested with multiple known-good drives, including a confirmed-working one)
- This is a documented A01/B01-era fault: typically a shorted 47uF 25V tantalum, the SI4943BDY MOSFET, and/or a blown fuse in the BD 12V path. Cheap parts, straightforward job for anyone comfortable with hot-air / SMD rework
Bottom line: all the expensive silicon works. It just needs the BD power circuit sorted to be a fully working backwards-compatible PS3.
INCLUDED: motherboard, heatsink, fan, PSU, Blu-ray drive, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth board [confirm/adjust] NOT INCLUDED: outer shell/case [adjust]
AS-IS, sold for parts or repair, no returns.
