i know but they shouldnt be twisted at all
there could be a tiny short on one of the components that is now creating the short report in winskeet

you dont need a board that can brick your ps3.

just had a thought
in the progskeet download section where you got the 1.2 bitstreem from
the read me says

open r7 close r8 for nand
close r7 open r8 for nor

can you close r8 to put it in nand mode and see if you still get the shorts.

it just a thought but i wonder if its shorting with it not being set to a mode

ILL check!!

i dont know how to close r8 and open r7 ..DX

Of course I don't mind , anyway I just came back to my country so ill post pics (of the multimeter & progskeet etc...) tomorrow when I wake up.

just to let you know that I had the exact same message over the weekend but with a crystal blue version, spoke with ufc666 who confirmed for me to ignore and go straight to dump and see what type of dumps I got, his advice worked for me but this is the first time ive seen a version 1.2 so it might be different.

It wont hurt for you to take some dumps. if your 100% sure there is no shorts then your be ok.

close r8 by creating a short, bridge solder across both pads, to open R7 remove the resistor from the board.

Close means to short the connections
Open means to remove the short ( or remove the resistor )

ok thanks @MJ999 and @hewman , so i guess ill need to wait for my soldering kit to come in before i attempt this then. Ill probably go with @hewman idea and shoot for a dump to see what I get. ill also still be trying to get ahold of uf6667 to see if this is something i can ignore

I'm really curious as to how a QSB is going to work with the PS3 NANDs. The one thing holding me back (besides the test for shorts error) is getting up the nerve to solder to the NAND legs (like in the PS2 days). I'm not as steady handed as I was back then. Is there another option? Something similar to the test points of the NOR?

@4DoorITR you could always go for the 360clips i know they said they are moving too the qsb boards but the 360 clips should still work...i think

I'd like to see how a QSB would work on a NAND ps3 too...I have my doubts about one ever coming out.

There are alternate points to solder to for some of the NAND connections, but they aren't much easier to solder, about 6 or 7 connections still need to be soldered to the NANDS directly because there are no alternate points. The clips do work, just need to be careful, waaay easier than soldering!
