Alright i got you now! nvm sorry

Here is a simple-to-follow soldering guide:

Resource 1) Ps3DevWiki

http://www.ps3devwiki.com/wiki/Teensy_2.0%2B%2B

Resource 2) Youtube

Soldering made easy: a youtube video by MrEnergyBreeze aptly called "Progskeet & Teensy++ PS3 motherboard wiring tips and preparation".

Progskeet & Teensy++ PS3 motherboard wiring tips and preparation - YouTube

Perhaps this video should really be added somewhere onto the Ps3DevWiki - any takers?

Resource 3) Notes and advice:

1) Don't rush. Do the preparatory work. For example cutting and tinning the ends of your wires to correct length, labelling them, etc. Of course, make sure beforehand you are 100% certain all the wires / solder points for your motherboard.

2) Use Flux. You definitely need to prep the area with plenty of flux first thing, before you start waving around that soldering iron around in anger. Doesnt matter which kind of flux. The cheapest bog-standard grease flux is absolutely fine. Spread a generous layer of flux liberally on and all around the pads to protect them. It won't hurt anything and you absolutely cannot skip this step. If you don't have flux you definately can not do this solder job.

3) After fluxing, then load the solder onto the contact pads (beading). At this point you should be in a pretty good position to go ahead and commence proper with the actual solder job.

thanks for norway. It is perfect. I've used it successfully on multiple consoles

Today I have a problem with a DIA-001.
I got more dump identical and valid but when I try to write, norway return error:
256/xxx RY/BY timeout error while writing!

What can I do?

I tried to redo the installation, but the result is the same.
Thanks for all reply.

PS I am working on Spansion

@Andre@ i guess u have problems with ur wirings .. make sure u have the pullups wire is connected, a pic of ur soldiring might help ..

I don't connect WP to VCC if you mean that becaus it was already connected to VCC from the motherboard.
I redid the installation several times. I used cables in larger section, but the result does not change

I am going to connect byte and VIO to VCC. Thanks for your reply

Ok Now I tried to connect WP, Byte and VIO to VCC, the result is the same

I try to make a pullup on RY/BY (100k and 10K resistor for pullupping data) but the norway return this error



This is the first time i get that error with teensy and norway.I don't know what can i do

Hmmm. Don't know myself but it seems as if this other guy experienced some similar problems...

Originally Posted by zad successful downgade complete using a teensy ++ on cechj03 with a dia-002 board. was not a simple task but here is how i overcome some problems i had. i started off the task by not using a voltage regulator and used the vcc from the ps3, this worked fine without any issues, created good dumps and all was fine until flashing the patched dump back, this would stop at 256k, i moved to using the writeword command in norway.py however this give the same results. i checked the vcc and at that point the voltage was floating about a bit and even at times dropping as low as 2.5v hence it was more than likely the nor that was failing not the flash as the vcc comes from the ps3 and the nor. i then fitted a voltage regulator and tried the write command again once again came across the same problem still stopping at 256kb however the writeword command worked flawless and verified without problems too. ive now fitted a switch to switch between the voltage regulator and the vcc, ive done this so i can leave the teensy++ connected and still within my ps3 but it can also be used as a factory service unit as well when the switch is set to the vcc power and if ever i need to flash i can swap back to the regulator meaning everything boots well and works without problems. so here are my reccomendations 1 i used 30swg wire, worked without any problems on cables less than 15cm (had about 0.1 ohm resistance between the teensy and the trace on the ps3) 2 fit a voltage regulator to do the dumps as well, the voltage drop caused by the teensy++ cant be healthy for the nor chip and i was lucky i never bricked the thing. 3 dont remove the teensy++ from your ps3 for using it to get into factory service mode, just simply remove the voltage regulator and attach the vcc (no voltage drop was seen doing this so id go as far as saying its safe and better than removing the whole chip just to enter factory service mode)

Thank you very much! this is my problem, I tried to use external power supply, but i filed, now i am going to try with writeword command!!!! thanks I am going to try that

I love you and Zad man! this was my solution! excuse me if I was not able to find it first

Once NAND is supported, the quoted product could be used to program one NAND at a time. -- judges

Hello "judges"!
Maybe I didn't understand you but do you mean you are working in a NAND programmer with Teensy++ 2.0? It would be more than fantastic!!!

I do. Unfortunately I didn't have as much spare time as expected during my xmas holidays, so it's not yet finished.. Really can't give you any new release dates..

You are doing a really good job!! You will finish it when you can, of course. Don't worry about release dates

Thank you about this great news and happy new year!!
