PS3 Super Slim PSU - Page 2

I would also recommend change all three capacitors next to that ic chip “FS117”

**rtstorm** · 03-29-2020, 09:08 AM

I check those caps and they are ok, i replace most of them. Is it normal that +5VSB_RETURN is shorted to gnd? I check and it is shorted on mainboard and psu. I disconect it and test separate. And now i discovered when mainboard is not connected with psu i got +5 on +5VSB and +5v on ACIN_DET. So is the priblem with mainboard?

RETURN is an old name for neutral or ground.
so that's o.k.

**CapLeaker** · 03-29-2020, 11:41 AM

You did pretty good so far. You discovered that the psu is loaded down by a short on the main board. The psu is fine. From here on it probably gets a little ugly.

**stj** · 03-29-2020, 11:57 AM

does the slim have the damned nec-tokin prodalizer ceramic caps on it??

**rtstorm** · 03-29-2020, 12:20 PM

I think, here is the picture of mainboard.

**CapLeaker** · 03-29-2020, 12:26 PM

So, as soon as you plug this board in, your stby voltage disappears, correct?

**rtstorm** · 03-29-2020, 12:38 PM

When i diconect 4-pin connector and plug in PSU in wallet i get 5.5V on +5VSB, and 5V on ACIN_DET. ACDC_STBY is 0V. When i plug in the 4-pin to mainboard i lose those 5V on both (+5VSB and ACIN_DET)

**CapLeaker** · 03-29-2020, 12:55 PM

Yeah, there is a short on the main board all right. Do you have tools like a constant voltage, constant current power supply, DMM, hot air etc?

Try to measure with your DMM in Ohms setting between 5vsb and 5vsb Return on the main board.

**rtstorm** · 03-29-2020, 12:56 PM

Yes i have it all exept osciloscope

**CapLeaker** · 03-29-2020, 01:04 PM

If you got a lab psu, you could feed the main board 5v, one or 2 amps and try to feel with you fingers if something gets hot. You also can douse parts of the main board with IPA and see if it evaporates or bubbles in a specific section. Could be anything from IC’s to a shorted smd multilayer cap.

**rtstorm** · 03-29-2020, 01:54 PM

Ok so i connect 5V to the +5VSB and ACIN_DET and i got red light on the on/off switch. I hear some wining sound from board, and i notice that WiFI module is getting hot.
The marking on this is :
384FF0C6C3D7
Rev 1.1
AW-GM381-2-12040-0BH

**CapLeaker** · 03-29-2020, 02:14 PM

How much is the current draw?

A whiny something shouldn’t be with the ps3 off. At least I do t think so. Maybe remove the wifi module and plug the ps3 psu in.

**CapLeaker** · 03-29-2020, 02:26 PM

Watch this: https://youtu.be/eEJ9zCgbg4k

**rtstorm** · 03-29-2020, 02:36 PM

I already watch that video before. It draw 0.3A, but at first it drop my voltage to 2.3V and then come up to 5.5V. i will try to remove it and then check

**CapLeaker** · 03-29-2020, 02:43 PM

Umm something is off if the main board is working on your bench power supply only drawing 0.3A. I mean you load tested the ps3 psu at 0.5A, right?

**rtstorm** · 03-29-2020, 03:14 PM

Sorry, dis not understand you. What do you mean by load the tested ps3 psu az 0.5A?
I noticed that at first Amps jump to 1.9A then go down to 0.3-0.5amp.

**rtstorm** · 03-30-2020, 09:32 AM

I remove the WiFi little board and i got working

But it will only work when i short +5VSB and ACIN_DET. I test the console and it boot up and run normaly (just no WiFI). Do you have any idea why it wont work without jumping wire those 2 pins?

**stj** · 03-30-2020, 09:51 AM

probably needs the wifi for the initial self-test
a lot of other consoles wont boot without the module either

**rtstorm** · 03-30-2020, 11:05 AM

Yes it could be. My controller does not work so i assume that this chip is for Bluetooh also

. I thought that i could use console with LAN cable but obviously i need to replace it
