Hi, my ps3's fan was running loud lately; and then the system turned off of all the sudden, I did a reflow on rsx, and it worked. After that, I sent it to a pc work shop to reball the gpu, I met a worker today and I tried to power the ps3. Next, it blinked red lights right after I power it for about 0.5 to less than a second, which indicates that the gpu isn't making contact to the mobo. In addition to that, the owner told me that, he probably used a wrong type/size of balls.

Can you please help me identifying the problem? What is the correct balls size?
What should I also consider?

Sorry for my retarded english. Regards.

Nah he didnt, in fact, he did allow me to enter his work station, and watch the reballing process, he mentioned something about balls size, I have no idea why it doesnt work.

yeah that sounds like a reflow there bro, I had mine reballed and its fine, running like it was brand new. Its either he relowed it or did a HORRIBLE reball job and didnt know what he was doing lol.

take it back and ask for a refund, or patch work. Most times they offer a 30-90day warantey

I dont think so, I once changed a rsx chip , I can easily tell if the system was reflowed or reballed.
Thanks anyaway.

Im going to contact him tomorrow. Thank you all

ok name and shame time.

who is he?

also the damn stencil has the ball size stamped on it. so he shouldnt have asked for a ball size!

its a company you took it to?
company insurance covers this so get a replacemet console from them or get a solicitor.
do not touch that ps3 untill you get a replacement or legal advice.

I examined the stencil and it seems a good one, the problem is I took it to a pc work shop, because, there are no ps3 re-balling stores here in my country! they do reflow only. On top of that, I dont even know how can he damage the chip, I think he damaged surround chips or ICs!. Thank you all for helping, I think my last attempt is to try to replace the chip from another board.
