And this will power the nand without needing the ps3. So I don't turn on the ps3, right? 
Would I be able to dump the nands with the motherboard out of the ps3 this way? Or do I still need the heat sinks attached?
BTW - Thanks a lot for your help.

ok just remember i havent got my NAND unit yet and with the wiki you have to fill in the blanks.
if it was me i would see if the negative side on the Y conector is connected to the negative pads on progskeet board.
if it is then you just need the 3.3v plus side connecting.
with the ps3 on you should get 3.3v at that point comming from the ps3
if not it could be a good indication that the clips are not on propperly. but then again they could be on fine.
then try with the ps3 turned off bridge R7 & R8 should send 3.3v direct to that point (DO NOT TURN THE PS3 ON AT ALL WHILE YOU CHECK THIS)
so check again with it set like this.
if you get your voltage try the NAND 1 & 2 auto test again (AGAIN DONT TURN THE PS3 ON AT ALL)
if you still dont get a voltage on the Y put a wire from the 3.3v point on progskeet to the plus point on the Y connector.
and test it again in the normal way that you did before.
just a thought but you have bridged the two 3.3v settings on the progskeet?
i know i forgot this the first time i did mine lol
also if you dont need to power on the ps3 then you dont need the fan or heat sheild attached. you just need the bare motherboard

i am really trying my best here but its hard diagnosing when i dont have the unit here with me. so just be carefull and take your time with the above steps.
