Hi baileyscream,
I read your post and was about to flash the ps3 after soldering. However, it stopped working again. I unsoldered them twice now both tristate and sbe. but no use. If you remember both my sbe and tristate were snapped and broken. Now I checked the soldering and noticed that were I traced the sbe was also broken. Now I was wondering is there an alternative point for SBE? I read that I would need to ground tristate, how can I do that if its an alternative to connecting to SBE? Please help.
