Most likely if the connector is there its because its working, I mean whats the purpose of installing one and the retail not having it smells fishy(the connector). Now the pads on the retail could be alive or could be cut off, blow, plus no connector, but like I said if anyone can figure out a way to pull the flash out of a machine like yours that would be a beginning.

Now why I focus so much on the flash? Because if the retail cant be accessed then with a flash in had we could flash it somewhere else and make like a mod chip. Then solder it onto the bluray, the chip has by force those lines alive since the onboard flash uses it. Assumptions again.

if you are talking about the jtag on the BD drive, it is nearly confirmed to be alive by skygames...

Hello ticos. It is with great joy to return to the news in our forum. In the JTAG port of the PS3 BD ROM 3v mixed signals. Then it probably is not dead but we have to do more tests and will soon put photos here 1 saludo to all

To access the connector the console has to be completely disassembled, and special rig for power and for heatsinks to connect.

No if you look at pics this bd drive is like all others.. pads tinned but nothing there... all ps3 drives seem to have been programmed by this.... but i dont understand why ppl keep on about bd drive in this thread... it is the connector on the main board that is shown.

Are you sure it's ok to post serial numbers and stuff for prototype machines ?

For example this one: http://www.ps3news.com/forums/attach...chmentid=19106

Sony could probably track them down. People even hide their PSP MAC address when they post a tutorial on Youtube or forums, blogs, etc. Next time maybe you should censor the serial numbers too. Better safe than sorry.

You got yourself a pretty sweet PS3. Is this unit any different from the other debug consoles?

That's a part number, rather than a per-machine serial number. So it's quite safe.

Nice ! I hope it will help to hack this console.
